You'd keep the stats as a punishment of Xathoqqua, it would be he who would control any bonus prayers per day and the odds of his blessings of new spells!
Rel would blow the Spider Climbing out of your memories and clear the way for Xathoqqua's blessings.

The three are there. See above.

[Right.]

They get through the gap then replace the pews against the door, and march to the kitchen. 

[I presuming Kéet is still there?]

[ Maybe.  We are holding on that skipped round for Keet at the cellar door with axe. Let's what big choice is made here in a second... ]

Are you answering the call of a Thieving God or staying in the Arcane Arts as you stand at that cellar door? What'll be?

Shoot. Forgot to answer this part. Sure, why not. He'll probably die in the next encounter though 

Keet Gooch bends to one knee, and leans against his axe as the great Rel wipes his mind and the Awesome Deity of Chaos supplants with knowledge of the prayers Omen and Command!
He opens his eyes, desperate to write these precious words down lest he forget them!
Narrhil, Tillak, and Votin arrive at the burned out kitchen doorway.

[KEET +2000 XP for the guts to tempt fate]
[KEET roll d6 for 2nd level HP]
[KEET pray to Xathoqqua and beg for 2 new spells]


 

Kéet, never really a religious fellow but somehow the whims of the gods have kept him alive while all his friends are dead, and he does tend to curse using Xathoqqua's name a lot. When he receives his visions and calls, he sardonically whispers to the toad-god Well here we are. In Xathoqqua's name I pray. Help me delivier myself and these new companions from this frozen, beast-man and witch ridden hellhole of a place and I will honour you until the day of my last breath or you may smite me with your phaliic spiked tongue!

[Oh shoot I may have misunderstood. Two spells in addition to Omen and Command? And yeah, he does. He has ink & quill and parchment, but also has his spell book which I suppose is now a prayer book.]

[This is how it worked:

Keet allowed Rel into his heart and immediately became a 1st level Purloiner. Xathoqqua took quick advantage of the blank soul with that low wisdom and filled Keet's head with the prayers for Omen and Command to claim dominion.

Next, I thought it was a pretty fucking cool thing to do, so I dropped a quick 2 grand on Keet, which immediately pushed him to 2nd level Purloiner. That means he is entitled to 2 new prayers (4 total), but as previously mentioned --because of the low WIS and because it will be wild - Keet doesn't have the ability to naturally learn any new prayers, Xathoqqua will need to grant them, at his leisure. 

So, Keet can pray for two more, and Xatho will let him know how it goes.

Further, because he's full of chaos the dude may or may not let Keet cast more than he bargained for, but Keet will not know unless he prays.

Does it make sense?]

Ignoring the arrival of his companions, Keet drops his hand axe and throws open his pack, digging out his old spellbook and ink.
Opening the first page, he can no longer make sense of the strange symbols written there. 
He turns the page and begins scribbling down the prayers for Omen and Command while he thinks of what greater gifts he should beg the Frog-God for...

Kéet shakes his head at the strange runes and thinks of his rumbling belly and some of the unsavory things he's been forced to eat lately as he scribbles down the formulæ.

"Oh Great Toad, many a times I have eaten something that on the way in, tasted awful and rotten, but came out even worse. I pray for a way to purify food and drink​ so my arse will no longer pay for the foulness of what I put into my mouth."

Then he considers how his friends, old and new, have succumbed to wounds and said.



"And on occasion, unwanted things are placed into our bodies in places they shouldn't go, causing unfortunate damage. I pray to be able to cure these wounds; at least the light ones."
 

[Rolling.]

"REASONABLE REQUESTS FOR MY NEW VESSEL...THOUGH I QUITE ENJOY KNOWING THAT MY MINIONS CAUSE AND PUTREFY EVEN MORE" cackles the god.
And those sacred words flow god to thief to prayer book...

Keét furiously finishes up writing and whispers to Xathoqqua, ​I think I can do that too he he.  The becomes aware of his companions. 
"Gawds, but maybe they had wings. Are there such things as winged beast-men?"
