Priests will defend their journals viciously, they will always start with the minimum amount of force, they will not kill the thief, and they will however take a thumb.

Priests have been known to risk their lives and at times have lost their lives in retrieving their journals. They feel the loss of a journal is the loss of a life.

A priest must devote all resources and time to recovering it.

If they are found to have abandoned a journal, they will be excommunicate from the church and lose all priest abilities.

If a priest is found to have embellished his journal, priests are giving a choice of either excommunication or to actually accomplish the task/deeds/events. With no gain to experience levels

Once they have made true the embellished tasks, they can then start a new journal and gain experience again.
