Pathfinder Hall RP

Meanwhile, Michael lets any of the children willing or wanting to play with Rain. He even provides a leather ball (lent from a particularly fey-like local elf) for the children to take her out in the back alley and throw and play fetch.

Ameris would, over breakfast one day, politely make clear that its important that any children who leave the orphanage, or are even in the main porch area temporarily, need to be supervised and guarded at all times. He cites the past history of the orphanage with Bhaalists, and the recent suspected Bhaalist seen in the sewers, as reasons for why such strict security needs to be observed.

He'd be apologetic if Michael gave him an "I know." reaction!

He would suggest that the training room could be used for a ball game if no one to watch over the children in the back alley was available.

[YourMoveHolyMan]

"I'd prefer the training room myself, but don't have a key to let them in and out. I'll make sure they're guarded if they want to go outside though - fresh air is good for them." Is Michael's reply to Ameris. He avoids the knowing look, shrugging off the reminder with a smile instead. "Good eye on the safety check, Ameris."

[sweetlikesplenda]

Aaron would be very concerned as the children are taken outside to play. He would dutifully be within close proximity to them, on the occasion they were outside playing. Though, he would consult with Ameris and agree with his statement that the children should remain indoors during their play time.

[kleomenes]

Perhaps over the same busy breakfast, Ameris would suggest that Michael's suggestion that fresh air and outside play is a good thing is very true, and it just needs to be made doubly safe. It should be fine with proper supervision and a guard, but he would defer to Aaron on what arrangements were suitable.

[Mendoza]

Michael eventually approaches Dorne with the line of questioning.

"I know you're taking up their martial training. You think any of them have an interest in archery? Maybe working with animals?"

Dorne tilts his head and listens closely to Michael's offer before nodding slowly and replying, "I am not sure truth be told, I suppose I could ask the Lion Cubs at the next lesson. I have had three new additions to the group that are considering joining the Nerys and Greyfox Tribe. Perhaps one of them may be interested since such training would certainly be advantageous to their new life with the Greyfox.

"Ashley" Would be seen at the Pathfinders hall offering to donating her time cleaning up after the children and assisting Michael Dunn in the kitchen. She would if allowed, spend time with the children playing games and singing songs. In an effort to help the Orphans of Baldur's Gate.

It already having been established that contact with the children was only allowed by those vouched for by Pathfinder Hall's guardians, this would not be allowed until Ashley was vouched for.

Hidden: show

It would be clear that only those who have been vouched for are allowed to see the children, as the safety of the children is taken seriously. The doors to the quarters where the children are unless supervised by a caretaker or another adult, are always kept locked.

When Ameris learned of Ashley's offer, he would make clear to all she was not to be admitted without his express approval; and would ask that if she called back it was made known that Ashley was to speak to him, or Telia, about helping around Pathfinder's Hall.

The implication is that she has not been vouched for.

Telia would leave a short note for Ashley,

Dear Ashley,

I need to speak with you at your earliest convenience.

Signed,
Telia Santraeger

When there is talk of the children being outside, Telia would be quite firm on that the children do need some fresh air and not only see walls. She explains that the city has few green areas inside and mentions the pond area in front of the White Mask Theater which they have considered. It is however a refugee camp and not likely to move away soon.

The back alley of Pathfinder Hall will have to do for now but she agrees that the children cannot go out alone, they will always need supervision. Perhaps some field trips could even be made to the Farmlands, which are relatively safe under the city watch's eyes. She seems to value the children's freedom and wants them to experience the outside world, in a positive way.

She further would add that she trusts Michael with the safety of the children and lets him know that she will hand him a key the next time she sees him.

[Endelyon]

Endelyon, on her way home from a rather unsuccessful day in one of the East Gate's many merchant stalls, would pass by Pathfinder's Hall, heading through the alley nearby as she always did and ducking the clothesline that hung loosely across. When she reached the back alley of the building, she would notice the children playing in the alley (and vicariously, right in front of her residence, which sits back-to-back with Pathfinder Hall.) She would smile warmly at the children, talking to them and even playing with any who were brave enough to do so.

Stepping inside, she would then return with a box filled with chocolates, one she had been saving for quite some time. The chocolate would have grown pale with age, though it was still very much edible. She'd offer some of the sweets to the children before heading into the hall in search of Telia.

When the woman was nowhere to be found, and she saw no one else in the building, she would let herself into the kitchen and make a delicious-looking sandwich, heading outside with it to continue on with the rest of her day.

Free sandwich is best sandwich.

[Grimdark Hitman]

The socially responsible paladin Jack Rokveer set off to the Pathfinder's Hall in the odd hours of the night where he exchanged pleasantries with a man he teased was the doorman named Michael, a very well-known Telia Navra (though she left considering the time of night), an almost painfully reserved spirit shaman named Tarina, and a woman fond of painting birds on an easel named Endelyon.

He chatted with Michael for a good hour by the door, both screening each other with multiple questions to evaluate each other's goodliness. Later on that night, Jack requests a tour of the Pathfinder's Hall; Tarina seems hesitant to do this, but after some coaxing by Endelyon this would be possible. After the tour of the bathing room, the training room, and letting Jack know Telia and Ameris sleep upstairs in a suite the three chat late into the night on the couches within the first floor of the thirty-six child-holding Pathfinder's Hall. One of the reoccurring questions popped-up, and by Endelyon, is why are these thirty six children getting all the attention and food and education while others' futures will be potentially corrupted and suffer a cultural death by the weight of the cold, pitiless street

[Nomster]

After hearing about Jack receiving a tour for unknown reasons, Telia leaves a note out for Tarina in the kitchen,

Dear Tarina,

I need a word with you as soon as possible.


Signed,
Telia Santraeger

Bystanders would notice supplies in bulk, ordered and bought by Darius Honlding Company, being delivered and unloaded into the Pathfinder Hall. From the looks of it, these are the last part of things needed before the rest of the children, the missing 30, is going to move in under Lion's roof.

It is obvious that once all the supplies are unloaded, unpacked and placed where they belong it won't be long before the big relocation of charges happens.

[Mac]

"Ashley" may have been seen running out of the Pathfinder Hall in tears, Clearly very upset over something.

[Easyy]

Those inside the hall would notice a letter dropped inside.

"To Telia Santraeger"

[Duster47]

Another visitor arrives at the Pathfinder Hall, trailing Dorne. She is a blonde-headed, fur-and-leather-wearing woman whose equipment indicate a Northman heritage. She looks a bit scruffy and wind-blown, perhaps from a long journey. She introduces herself to others present as, "Nerys, Emissary of the Greyfox Tribe." After exchanging brief pleasantries, Nerys and Dorne meet privately in the Office.

Perhaps an hour later, Nerys departs the building, apparently in good spirits.

[TarnishedSoul]

After an interview with Telia Santraeger, the Steward of Pathfinder Hall, Alexandra Keenan was accepted as a tutor for the children that will be housed in the building. The two women toured the facility, and the new instructor was given a synopsis of the children currently there as well as the number who will arrive in the coming days. Miss Keenan seemed enthused about the opportunity and said that she would spend some time formulating her lesson plans before seeking Sylvi, the ever-present caretaker, to discuss them in more detail.

Several days later, Alexandra returned to Pathfinder Hall for that specific purpose: a conversation with Sylvi.

• • •

"Fair day to you, Miss Sylvi," the young woman kindly greets the caretaker when the opportunity next avails itself. "My name is Alexandra Keenan; we briefly met a few days ago when Steward Santraeger gave me a tour of Pathfinder Hall, although you were busy with the children at the time.

"I have been hired as a tutor; I am here to ensure that basic reading and writing skills are learned, although it is my hope to start the foundation of a well-rounded and diverse education. Have you the time to speak?" the young woman asks, smiling. "I would like to discuss my proposed plans with you, get your feedback and any other helpful information you would share with me, and formally meet the children if you think they are ready."

Alexandra holds a well-worn notebook against her chest; several pages seem to be marked and ready for her to open straight to them. She maintains a pleasant smile upon her features as she awaits Sylvi's response.

It is obvious that once all the supplies are unloaded, unpacked and placed where they belong it won't be long before the big relocation of charges happens.

Ameris, going down the list of what was needed, begins the task of sorting these deliveries into their proper places. Its a big job, and he concentrates on finding a home for clothing and toys. He would consult with Sylvi about how she wanted things organised and provide muscle power, largely.

He would leave for now educational supplies and the like for those who would be administering lessons.
