Church of Ilmater RP

[Layla0340]

Tarlu had a new work song, a lilting, cheery melody in a waltz meter:

Before murder in the temple,
Life was wash laundry, mop floor.
After murder in the temple,
Life is wash laundry, mop floor.
The hills shake and shoot fire.
Life is wash laundry, mop floor.
The heroes rage at each other.
Life is wash laundry, mop floor.
Life is wash laundry, mop floor.
Let's hope the price of bread doesn't go up.

(((OOC awesome poem

[Nomster]

In the recent days, Telia could first be seen tending to Luke as he recovered from his ordeal and then later give what aid she could to a male elf who had suffered badly at the hands of others. She would appear tired and the times she sat down, her eyes would become distant; clearly being in deep thoughts and some of those thoughts seeming trouble her. Telia would try to smile though and interact politely. She takes special care to be cordial with the Sisters and Brothers in the Temple, listening to their words and instructions carefully whenever they would address her.

At least once a day, Telia is seen inside the Chapel, nearly always accompanied by Ameris. Usually she is quiet as he prays, in silent support, her head lowered by the altar. Today though she spoke a prayer to Ilmater, taught from the prayer book, insisting that Ameris spoke it with her. She would have seemed more comforted and at peace after it.

When there is nothing she can aid with, as she is not a healer or have any kind of knowledge of what work is done to keep a Temple functioning, she moves out of the way and sits upstairs often with a book and of course, a bottle of wine. Some expensive teas would be finding their way to the Ilmateri kitchen. If they would be remarked on, Telia would simply say it would be a shame if they would go to waste.

[Nomster]

In preparation for the relief effort in the Docks, Ameris and Telia could be seen spending quite a while in prayer in the Chapel. They would both seem strengthened afterwards, as they went to join the others who had gathered in the Temple's dining area.

It seemed that Brother Marcus, the leader of the Temple, has powerful connections... a mysterious woman appeared, lowering her hood to those present so they may recognize her and several knelt in her presence. With her, she brought healing supplies and the aid of the Flaming Fist.

Storm

A heavy winter storm descends into the city, blowing in from the water into the docks and out to cover the entirety of Baldur's Gate. The rain is cold and fierce pummels the Gate, sending many of the citizens to find shelter inside. The homeless flock to the Temple of Ilmater or into the sewers to escape the chilling bite. Many of the rats perish or are forced away from the population to escape the storm. Mindful citizens remember and whisper of the drumming of a certain man through the Gate and his proclamations regarding Umberlee.

Yet is this a blessing or the wrath of the Sea Queen...

Sweet song and a light melody can be heard from the Temple of Ilmater as Telia plays her lyre for those who are huddled inside sheltering from the weather. She would be smiling, meaning to brighten up the souls who had lost so much in the recent tendays. The kitchen is busy - tea is being made and with what little supplies are available, a warm soup or porridge. Whenever Telia is not singing and playing, she tries to give Sister Adolina a hand in the kitchen. Serving tea is after all something she is capable of. It also gives her an opportunity to speak with the people, which she gladly does.

Ameris and Telia meet with Sani upstairs at the Temple of Ilmater. Some time later, Ameris would speak with Brother Marcus with some enthusiasm.

He'd tell of having been able to secure a mass production of wands to allow the removal of disease - enough to cure seven hundred patients. He deposits them with Brother Marcus in order to keep the temple supplied.

[kleomenes]

Ameris leaves the temple in a hurry with Telia Navra, shortly afterwards they are seen teleporting somewhere with Sveta Asperan, Endelyon and Erza.

Some time later Ameris is seen returning to the temple in an uncharacteristically foul mood. His smiles to the other clergy are forced, and he heads upstairs to rest as swiftly as he can.

Yet its evident he does not sleep, pacing backwards and forwards on the upper level of the temple, and, in due course, heading down to the infirmary in the small hours and spending his time sorting and recategorising the medicines there.

[Ariella]

Erza drops this of for the faithful of ilmater mainly ameris and telia.

*after casting a few sendings, Sani goes to the Ilmater Temple.

*once there, she changes her robe for one provided by the Temple, and tries to help with the glut of patients. Sani tends to the patients willingly enough, and seems to be skilled in her efforts. She continues this for many hours seemingly fascinated by the side effects of the plague. Eventually, she makes a remark about being "bored".

During this time, Sani avoids any of the real work of the temple, such has cleaning bandages, cots, or even cleaning her the robe provided her when she is done with it. She even leaves a puddle in the upper lavatory before leaving. Sani does however, turn over a sizable number of patients with what appears to be reasonable effectiveness.

The blood, the pus, and side effects of the plague seem fascinate her during this time more then anything else. Sani fails to take adequate precautions in her curiosity. She does drink a remove disease potion she had brought with her before leaving however.

Sani would enter the temple again, this time with a note book

She mutters to the staff:

I forgot to take notes last time!


Sani then appropriates a Ilmater robe and changes in to it. Appropriating some supplies from the temple Sani setups a place in the corner of the infirmary along with a notebook.

Over the next few hours, Sani would tend to patients who wandered her way. Her efforts would skilled, but somewhat slow. During each patient she would jot down notes in the notebook concerning where the patient thought he/she was infected, the visible signs of infection, and any notable side effects. Again Sani would have little regard for her own personal safety, not even bothering to wear a mask.

Early on Sani would smile brightly to each patient, but as the day goes on Sani would get grouchier. After many hours she would look positively grumpy and tired. At some point she would excuse herself, taking her notebook and leaving a mess behind. Sani would have also avoided any of the real work of the temple, only cleaning her own station between each patient, and doing it purely by tossing dirty items into a pile in the back room without regard.

After making a mess in the lavatory, and changing back into her purple dress, Sani would wander into the Ilmater bunk house, pick the best looking bed, and collapse on it falling asleep shortly later. Sani would have forgotten to take a cure disease potion.

*Sani enters the temple again, with her notebook in hand. Sani looks as if she has not slept in a day or so.*

*as before, she appropriates some supplies and an Ilmater robe from the temple, and sets up herself in the back of the infirmary*

*Repeating her past performances, Sani would would carefully take notes of each patient, taking her time, but demonstrating skill with the healing art. This time Sani would get much more into the personal space of each patient, while not taking any personal precautions what so ever. Sani would clean her own station between each patient, and would discard used items for cleaning in what to her appears to be the proper washing receptacles in the back rooms.*

*After several hours Sani would appear profoundly tired. Sani grabs her notebook, excuses herself, and strips off the the Ilmater robe she borrowed. She goes and crashes to sleep in the temple barracks without bothering to clean up first.*

[Nomster]

Telia would have spent some time today simply speaking with patients. During such, she likely would have noticed Sani set her things up. Telia would have taken care to not being in the other woman's way and let Sani use the concentration she would need on her healing skills. Time to time, Telia helps with serving tea to the workers and food and water to the patients. As Sani leaves and does not return after a while, Telia walks over to the mess she left behind and stands over it with her hands on her hips and a displeased look on her face.

A note is later left with Sister Adolina,

Hidden: show

Dear Sani,

Thank you for your work in the Temple today. I am sure everyone here appreciates it and your devotion to research.

There are a few things I have noticed which I would like to speak with you about. Let me know when is a suitable time for you.

Regards,
Telia

[Nomster]

In the morning hours, Telia spends some time in the Temple where she aids with getting breakfast to any of the patients who spent the night in the infirmary. As the doors open and new patients who did not need urgent medical help during the night stream inside, she attends to those as well and listens patiently to the Sisters and Brothers in the Temple of how to recognize signs of dire illness so those patients can be attended to first. As the Sisters and Brothers do so, she sits down with those with a sprained ankle or other lighter maladies and makes conversation. If anyone was from the docks, she would ask of the situation there and listen to their story and hardships with sympathy. Likewise, she would hear anyone out who was from the Eastern District and also look for someone from the Palace District.

As lunch is served, Telia would aid with that and sing a hymn to Ilmater before she excuses herself and leaves on some errands.

[kleomenes]

The Church of Ilmater receives a donation of books, delivered by a newly arrived Tyran on behalf a woman named Sparrow. The books are set aside for the benefit of convalescing patients.

____________________________

Later a notice is put up in the Temple.

Beware Rats!

While we are holding the line against sickness, rats carry the sickness and should be avoided or slain.

Excercise great caution when entering the sewers! The multitudes of rats there make such a trip highly dangerous!

Ameris is seen going upstairs in the temple to his rest; he comes hurrying down in a rush a few minutes later, blood staining his robes, saying to Rachel he needs a vial and saying that Sani is sick but he will attend to it. He returns upstairs and comes down about fifteen minutes later, to reassure that all is well. He retrieves a mob and bucket, before heading upstairs for about half an hour. Once everything is cleaned up and put away he finally manages to get to bed.

Many hours later that day, Sani is seen leaving the temple. She appears to be very tired, and more then a bit worried.

[Ariella]

Erza seems to come into the temple of ilmater every day for the last tenday, she brings in a large amount of various salted fish that she skillfully catches in an hour or so and gives it over to sister Rachel to feed those who need it.

after this she waits a while for ameris who is always busy then heads out to continue her work intending to return later on in the day for the meeting but always forgetting.

[kleomenes]

Ameris shares a letter received with the other Adorned in the temple.

Subject: Baldur's Gate / North 1351 Campaign Thread

Letters arrive to the temples of Umberlee, Ilmater, Mystra, and Gond, the emergent church of Sune, the shrine of Lathander, and the Order of the Radiant Heart.

Each of them says essentially the same thing: Please assist us in establishing healing camps. The Flaming Fist will provide protection, in addition to your own templars and volunteers.

The only way to beat this plague is to unite our considerable powers and turn them against it.

"This is a fine effort!" He says. "Let us support it as best we can!"

[Morphix90]

Yesterday, Mogrant has been seen helping out in the infirmary and regularily making a walk outside and talking to some people. Today in the morning he was walking around again and seem to be waiting for something, wearing a robe with the sign of Ilmater, he do not wear regulary. Later he went away with a caravan of the SCCE and some Paladins, Grandmaster Arkaine, Erza and other volunteers. Some of those who accompanied Mogrants efforts seem to came back later(ICly its days as I understood). Mogrant did not returned yet(no wagon arrived in BG too at this point).
