Church of Ilmater RP

[Lampir]

A well dressed man with an ornate ivory circlet looks up startled from his work at the sudden explosion of wood and orc. He grimaces at Buurke's strange slur and then as he hurries out the door with a cheerful wave James asks...

"Who in the world was that?"

He lifts a brow as the story unfolds. "He donated how much? Rather rich for an orc-kin isn't he?"

More discussion, then a splutter of laughter.

"He asked Ilamter out for dinner?"

After a moment of being chided for his amusement the businessman brushes off his sleeve in agitation. "Yes well, I think we can cover the cost of a lost bench with that donation, even in this nasty economic climate. I'll put in an order with one of our suppliers."

*Buurk walks into the temple once again, wearing a fancy white suit with a white top hat* Hullo Illmatur! *toothy smile* Wut iz youz do todey? mebz nut much juz protek friendz, also... mebz meet new elb woomanz Hur name zezzy, Buurk meetz at campfur near da friendly arm inn and hur wuz sick wit poisonz! *eyes open wide* So Buurk go buy potions to make bettur!

Mebz be bak soon! *gives the symbol of Illmater a toothy smile before turning to leave and yet again triping on a bench utterly destroying it, he looks down at the broken wood silent for a moment then says* Sumone shouldz mobe diz bench outz da wuy... Sorriez! *turns sideways and ducks out of the door*

*Buurk gers returns to the temple of illmater to hand in another donation to the god of mercy* Buurk iz bak! Hullo Illmatur! *waves at the alter symbol, and sets down a heft bag containing all the coins he has collected for the last 3 months and a freshly baked muffin* Eatz it while it hot! *after a moment of happiness Buurk kneels before the alter and asks Illmater for guidance* Mebz have trouble last few months cuzz ob da black orcs, and Buurk ned hep, der elbz out dat juzz no like mebz no mattur wut I do....

Papa's greataxe. Mebz have it since himz die and even dho it nut da sharpest of axes dat Buurk have, it da most Valueablez in himz heart. *pulls out another muffin and sits at the alter waiting, hoping that Illmater will eat with him*

*times passes and Buurk falls asleep against the alter holding his still uneaten muffin*

[narcaleptic]

*stands before the alter of illmater and prays* Hullo illmatur Buurk iz now 33 years of old, but himz faith is still young. *snorts* Mebz help to fught da bad devil with adventurers in pazt week, webz sent himz back to da place where eble comez frum, to badz webz cant send him to place whur goodz come from... den mabyez him learn lesson. *nods and grunts* Himz mabye come back in 70 or so years to fught aguan.

If nut mebz hope da deedz will be remembured by elf friends, them live long time.. long enough to keep Buurkz conquestz alive long aftur him iz gone. *Buurks face grows more and more worn as the final years of his life begin, his once proudly strong muscles of his prime begin to fade slowly as old age takes its grip, though he will always be a large individual.* Buurk haz learned many things in himz short life, loyalty, honor, respect, valor, spirit, laughter, love, and pain but in all that Buurk haz learned nothing makes himz heart pound, or himz muscles flex like friendship does.

Mebz think illmatur does answer Buurkz lazt prayer, in fughting da eble devil with sayiel mebz think dat her differant towardz Buurk, webz nut exactly friends yet, but closer. So Buurk honor himz offering. *places a ancient looking axe apon the alter* Juz keep it safe, mebz like to see it aguan whun mebz come to illmaturz palace in da sky. Keep mebz friendz safe, give dem mercy now and long aftur Buurk iz gone. *toothy smile*

*flexes his arms noticing his reducing strength* Mebz hav work to do, goozbye for now Illmatur.

Lexa Dreskia is seen volenteering at the temple off and on. Serving hot meals and taling with the injured. Her medic skills are not as good as others. But she can lend an ear.

[narcaleptic]

*Buurk walks into the temple of Illmater seeking answers from the crying god, he places a small bag of gold on the alter along with a muffin*

Hullo illmatur, Buurk need youz advice, mebz have a cloze friend called celestia her iz a moon elf and dear friend to Buurk, but her iz lozzing self to own anger and shame. Mebz call on da might of Illmaturs mercy to show her da way through her own missakes and actions. Like Buurk suy to illmatur befure... der iz nothing better than da company of friends, an mebz will not loose this one to her own faults, Buurk iz not perfect, nor will himz ever be.. dat iz something Illmatur iz, But mebz will never stop trying. Da only true failure iz when one gives up, and it iz not in Buurks blood to do this, mebz swear to da lord of mercy dat if it takes mebz last breath, Buurk will succeed in this task, but der iz no shame in asking illmatur to shed a tear for celestia... juzt one tear of mercy for Buurks friend....

*Buurk places a small vial on the alter hoping that the crying god will shed him a tear for celestia, as time passes he nods off against the wall with his holy symbol clutched in his sleeping hand*

Lexa Dreskia and Yoruchii visited the temple the other day. They were seen in the prayer room asking for help. After Yoruchii had been infected by rather nasty trap. The trap had laid a deadly weaknes on her that made her forget knoledge and skills. Drained as Yoruchii was Lexa had teleported her to the Temple of ilmater.

The preist was able to lift the malady that Afflicted the Brave Yoruchii. And the to donated gold to the chuch. Using the alter by the preist. Both in turn were rewarded by there God with Blessings placed upon them.

The 2 relaxed at the church then. Buying lunch and enjoying a moments rest. Before spending some time assisting the sick inside the temple.

Lexa Dreskia is seen leaving a note with the priest at the Ilmater temple.

Good evening I would like to report an incident me and a Friend took part in. Yesterday at FAI. Many Giberings began to attack the local population. They were turned aside with ease. However one of them proclaimed that his people were starving. The Elves in the area as well as the Humans did not seem to care at all. I Admit I was not that concerned myself. But the Moral code of Yoruchii is far stronger. As was her anger at the lack of Concern from the Elves. Yorchii stated that she was going to investigate this situation. As I always would I went with her.

As we were going to talk and not to fight. I felt the need to take preventative measures. I cast greater Sanctuary on us both. Insuring that the Giberings could not attack us. And so we would not need to kill them. We ventured deep in there cave and found there Chief. After a long and fairly pointless conversation. We discovered that the Kobalds had stolen there food. Aided by a drake. Under Yoruchiis guidance we traveled to the kobold cave to kill the Drake. And so to restore the balance. On the way out of the cave. My sanctuary ran out. The Gibbering Attacked. But my mind proved faster then there weapons. I cast invis on myself. Then on Yoruchii. And so we continued with out problem

I wont tell much of this action. It was no challenge and over come with ease. We met with Gustov. And he joined our mission. Mind you i don't think he understood it. We collected meat from the Drake. To help feed the Gibberings. On the way back Yoruchii was struck with a falling rock. It hit her in the back and Broke one of her Ribs. I mended her as best as I could. But she insisted on going on. Much to my anger. She isa good Follower of Ilmater she would not let pain stop her.

We delivered the Meat to the Giberings. But the Vile creatures were massed in force. they attacked us and tried to eat us. We were forced to defend our self. When we were again safe I teleported us to Berghost. I carried Yoruchii to the temple there. the priest was able to repair her Ribs.

I tell this tale so that Yoruchiis Morality may be noted. When no one was willing to help these Giberings. When no one even cared. Yoruchii Alone demanded something be done. I went with her. But only to make sure she was safe. Yoruchii had stronger Morality then any of us that day. Shame on the Elves that talk High but act low. Shame on myself as well or I would have done nothing. Her bravery should be noted.

-----

After delivering the Note Lexa bows and prays to Ilmater. She asks for a blessing to be laid on Yoruchii.

[Elthan]

A letter is given to a chaplain (npc) in the church of ilmater:

Most honored servents of the broken god

I write to you bearing news of a possible ruse of a most vile nature:

There are those who profess to act in ilmater's name when holding a knife to a man's throat.
There are those who profess to act in ilmater's name while brazenly invading another's lawfully protected home

The charges also include: other threats of violence and suffering , possible use or tolerance of necromancy, association with followers of the deities of destruction.

I would request to aid you in rooting those who would invoke mercy's name when they either know not mercy or abhor mercy and would therefore seek out a meeting if it would be possible.

[talisen]

Looking like a fish out of water, Talisen arrives at the Temple of Ilmater. After a brief and awkward conversation with one of the sisters and a lady named Yoruchii, he headed up stairs to change clothes and spent the rest of the evening helping to tend to the sick, all while dressed in some overly fine looking clothing.

While speaking to Yoruchii, he mentions that he is helping for the sake of a friend. Later, whilst carrying food to the sick, he mentions that he is 'trying to repay an old debt.'

Whatever the reasons, he does his best to help out for the day, trying to put on his best appearance and to keep his presence from disturbing the sick.

[Deathgrowl]

The two spirited and charming elves known as The Snowflakes arrives at the temple of Ilmater and donates a bunch of fine, high quality suits, dresses, hats and tiaras made by Aello and tells the sisters to give them out to the poor who needs clothes.

The two spirited and charming elves known as The Snowflakes arrives at the temple of Ilmater and donates a bunch of fine, high quality suits, dresses, hats and tiaras made by Aello and tells the sisters to give them out to the poor who needs clothes.

Hoihe, having made off with some of the clothes, hats and tiaras to help, enters the temple rather groggily, a bit sickly-looking, carrying some more clothes, tiaras and hats, instructing the same to be done as the Snowflakes did. He then wobbles out, refusing any offers to aid with: "Shouldn't have drank my potion.. my head.. my stomach.. ugh.. "

[Savoth]

After arrive at the Church

Savoth walks up the the counter to ask Sister Adolina if her or Brother Marcus know of a Tyrian Knight called "Lazarus Khross," and if not who at the Church of Tyr does he need to speak too?
