The Suffering Supplicant is a TADS 2 interactive fiction game and is © 2002 by Anonymous. It was an entry in the Speed-IF 18 event.
You play as a supplicant on a pilgrimage. The Eldest ordered you to save your sect of Zeeblism from excommunication by returning from Sporandia with a bottle of Ouzo. You'll need help, luck, and prayers to complete your mission.
This solution is by David Welbourn.

Note: The prayer sequences are fixed, so it is possible to pray the final sequence and get the bottle of Ouzo right away by sheer dumb luck.

This walkthrough is provided free of charge since I wrote this walkthrough prior to January 2015 when I began my Patreon account, and also because the work it's based on has less than fifteen locations (so I wouldn't have charged for it anyway). I've since reformatted this walkthrough to use my currently preferred style. I hope you enjoy it!
I'm still creating new walkthroughs! Larger ones too! Please visit my Patreon account if you're interested in helping me create more interactive fiction walkthroughs. I appreciate all the help I can get! Thanks again.
