Children of Mercy Role Play

[Lampir]

Though she has been known to visit almost daily, the orc druid Kaltyra has not appeared to visit her three children currently in sanctuary at the orphanage.

[FearBeforeTheFlames]

Alexander Marshall could be seen moving a large barrel full of concord grapes, washed and blessed to prevent any nefariousness, into Mercy Orphanage, which have been donated to the Children of Mercy Orphanage. Children may spend the next few days with pleased, grapestained faces.

Ameris is seen entering the Mercy Orphanage - a place he has not visited in some time. He is led there by one of the children, in order to meet the visiting priestess Louise De La'Valliere. He leaves some time later, a pensive yet relaxed expression on his face, heading straight to the Temple of Ilmater.

[Kaden Asen]

A very reserved, and clearly upset Thedran returns to Mercy's one night. Over the next several hours he packs up supplies, belongings, and the small library into several crates from the attic.
The crates are placed near the door, and the children whisper quietly about a boat ride in their near future.

[Lyrewyn]

A basket full of bread was left anonymously at the servant's entrance before the Radiant Heart compound. A note was left written in a feminine hand,

"I'm sorry."

If people saw the woman who dropped off the basket, they would describe her as wearing a black dress, the colour matching her bunned up hair. If the young Anna was watching, she would have had the closest look at the anonymous donor.

*Three Figures are left with the guard by a halfling,
The Finely wood carved toys are;
A knight in a guardian pose dawned in Full plate armor and a heavy shield with long sword.
A Halfling holding two Tiny Daggers in some finely made pad robes, the face looks like Edik.
A Human looking Priest in prayer, in robes looks like that of the Ilmateri.
((this would make 6 in all, past three are;
A small Kobold, holding a spear in mid thrust,
A lizardfolk holding a club looking as if its just walking about.
An Elven Wizard, looks just like Headmaster Rhys, in fine robes mid casting a spell.)))*

"Uh- Ello, I - uh- Made 'em 'ere toys fer ta little ones. Er, ta names Edik, uh - Sir."
*The Starved, dirty, and lightly burned Halfling wearing rags leaves the figures with the guard and limps off*

[finneas]

*Colwyn returns to the chapterhouse and after giving greeting to the man at arms learns about the halfling and his gifts. Colwyn takes the handmade toys and leaves them with a note for Thedran, explaining the origin and that the halfling wished to gift them to the children.*

[rokranon]

Not far away from the compound of the Order of the Radiant Heart, a tall, darkly-clad man in a green cloak notices the courtier and retired soldier Thedran. This seemingly old man heads toward the younger, but too late notices the form of Elvina Aira-S'efarro nearby when she speaks a query. The tall dark man seems to hesitate before answering in the negative, and murmurs to Thedran, "We need to talk." The two head off in the direction of Mercy Orphanage within the walls of the small fortress.

Inside, Thedran steps aside to let the dark clad elder pass. After looking around carefully and noting all the children are asleep at this late hour, Jonas Rokranon reaches up to pull the hood back on his green cloak. Only Thedran and Sister Juna notice this, and a lengthy conversation ensues about a variety of topics.

Later, a young squire of the Order by the name of Astoria enters, and Jonas is unable to continue to keep his identity hidden with his hood down. Hoping the young lady does not speak of seeing him, at least at first, Jonas retires to an old room he once used that Thedran, dutiful guardian and friend that he is, keeps ready in case the Living Saint or her Tormite protector show up on the Sword Coast.

Early the next morning, before the sunrise, Jonas wakes and moves in to look upon the children. In the darkest of night just before the dawn, he can still see them well with his enhanced night vision. At the sight of any familiar face he gently rests his right hand upon their head or shoulder, and moves on to the next. Satisfied, Jonas pulls up his hood and departs the Orphanage, once again appearing to be an old beggar wandering around the city.

[The Ghost]

An individual covered in white-and-grey garments followed the tall and darkly-clad man for a bit - before he could escape into the orphanage. Having its methods, the white-and-grey stalker followed through the doors of the orphanage, before turning tail.

[LeslieMS]

A familiar face spent much of the previous night after dinner in the orphanage. The first few hours were spent passing out hugs to the familiar children, and meeting the newer arrivals. Once the children were tucked into bed, Meri finally admitted to herself just how much she missed the place. Much time was passed catching up with old friends on such familiar ground. After speaking at length with Sister Juna, Meri excuses herself to let her dear old friend rest for the night.

[kleomenes]

A donation of ten thousand is received by the Temple of Ilmater, and forwarded by Ameris upon the request of the Donor to the Orphanage.

[Mendoza]

A man in a golden-yellow hood and cloak appears at the building in Baldur's Gate where the Orphanage has been temporarily moved to. Upon gaining entry, the man introduces himself and explains to the Sisters his willingness to train any of the children that wish to learn how to use a sword. He tells the attending Sister that Brother Ameris from the Temple of the Broken God has vouched for him. He waits in the front room of the building for the Sister's answer.

[Mercator]

A local mage and employee of Lord Darius, known as Cosimo Delucca, presents himself at the orphanage to deliver a letter. At the same time, he asks if he can assist at the orphanage by providing literacy lessons, something he says several have been discussing for quite a while. He admits he is not well known to the keepers of the orphanage and says he is happy to be asked for character references if needbe.

[whatsittoya]

A hooded woman arrives mid-afternoon with a small entourage of acolytes from the Halls of Inner Light to make a large donation of freshly-prepared food!

The red headed Selunite can be found often with the children of late, reading stories to them, or leading them in light hearted sing a longs. At times she asks them to tell her stories in turn, then later is seen jotting down the ideas in her ever present journal, with a faint smile showing as she eventually heads back to Candlekeep.
