Here are the threads. Some had very few posts, so I won't be claiming an equal number of rewards.

The woman with serpentine locks strolled in her garden of statues. Such amazing sculptures they were, so lifelike, so energetic. They even leaned in the same direction as if by some unsensed breeze. The direction was away, for each one was frozen with their slim elven jaws slack and feet digging for traction.

The cockatrice strutted ahead of her, eyeing those who fell through the line of feasting manticores, and so the garden grew as if drinking from the blood-soaked ground. Vipress laughed sweetly and slipped a hand along a mutely screaming elf's cheek. This truly was a beautiful race, once their pride was silenced.

Her hand drifted down the statue's back, nails scratching the thick leather armor. She almost continued on, however, her hand bumped against a pack at the statue's belt, and her slitted eyes gleamed with mischief. So many warriors, spellcrafters, healers, all with offerings to their new god.

"Rid them of their earthly possessions!" she ordered sweetly of her followers, the frostbitten ancient elves and their reptilian leader. At her side, Mori'annon, the shadow given new life, looked about. In its hood, the starlit eyes twinkled with a faint reflection of its master's delight.

Requested Rewards:

Healing Needles - Taken from a healer's pack, they are a set of 10 acupuncture needles. They are made of steel, and have a mild electrifying enchantment on them. It is enough to affect the muscles that are in contact with the points, whether the effect is pain relief or temporary localized paralysis. Vipress has basic knowledge of the points in humanoid bodies where each condition can be caused.

Gentle Radiance - This was taken from a front line warrior. It is a leather collar with holy words burned into it. When worn, it causes a holy aura to emit over the wearer's upper torso that repels other holy objects. It was intended to keep the elf from being struck by friendly fire, but it will serve Rask just as well.

The enchanted arrows will have their trajectory adjusted when they near his upper body. Glancing blows will become misses, moderately accurate strikes into glancing blows, etc. Swords that are enchanted against the undead will slow moderately when striking into this area.

I'll approve these both, with only the notice that there are differing levels at which an item can be enchanted at holy. I'm approving this with the understanding that your repulsion technique description applies to enchantments of middling strength.
