The Church of Mystra RP

[Babuguuscooties]

The woman's face is mostly emotionless, but her eyes glint with satisfaction when she hears Nedrin's answer.
"I may show you the Scholar's Quarters in the meantime. There's a pleasing reading lounge in the library, where we could talk this out. I would also have some questions of those small accomplishments that you mentioned."

Nodding once, he allows the elven woman to lead him to the nearby room.

A young half elf, i the way of her folks young enters the temple every now and then. She mostly wears a blue robe and a backpack. She might seem like a travelling spellcaster. Shw would briefly nod to those who look at her.

Then she steps to the altar to leave an offering. She opens a scroll, wispers something wordless. Then it would go up in blue flames, not damaging anything. But to those who would examine the place, it would be clear it is an offering like it suits the mother of all magic: in form of magic.

She would leave another scroll as a short message, telling of her interest in the church:

Greetings to you, who serve in this temple,

i was travelling here freely, but never met anyone of you. I 'm just letting you know, i am here. If the church wishes to have contact to another blessed of Mystra, leave a message here. I will look for you.

Mystra's blessings with you,
Seraphina Saphiremoon

((Just Pm to me me or poke me if you see me in game so we can arrage something. ))

Syndreth returns to the temple late at night, now clad in a scarlet cloak and hood, with a bunch of scrolls sticking out from a pouch on her belt. She greets priestess Neela, then receives the letter from her. The elf wizard reads it curiously, while nodding at some parts, then asks Neela to describe this frequent visitor for her.
After a short discussion with the priestess, she looks through the letter one more time.
"Yes, it is time for us to start the work..." She states for herself quietly.

"I will be in the lab for a while. Please feel free to ask for me if you need assistance with the visitors." She says to Neela before turning on her heels to leave towards the inner chambers.

Rain was pouring down in the night when the elven scholar of the Church of Mystra returned to the temple, and found there the Mystran lady called Seraphina, who just then finished her offerings to the Godess of All Magic. Not much later, the two new faces was joined by one who was a well known visitor of the temple, the Great Reader Laitea Lafreth. The three of them had a long discussion about the teachings of the Church and the tasks of those who would serve the Lady of Mysteries. Then Seraphina was invited to take a look at the inner chambers of the Temple.

The first rays of the morning sun shimmered on trickling raindrops lazily dripping down from the leaves of the trees, when Syndreth stepped out to the street from the entrance portal. Looking up, she offered a warm smile to the clearing sky, before making her way towards the gates.

"May all your ways be green and golden."

[Cinta]

Syndreth stepped through the entrance portal early that morning, looking a bit exhausted. Her fine aquamarine colored robe was dusty and torn on one side, secured with a pair of hairpin above her bandaged shoulder. Her chestnut-brown hair flew down freely and straightly, hiding the sides of her face. In her hand, she carried a bear-skin baggage, seemingly full of different sized and shaped items tugging through the hide.

She greeted Priestess Neela and kindly refused her offer to help with her wounds saying there's something she must do without a delay. Then she walked up to the statue of the Godess and stared at it for a long time, til her troubled expression softened to be more peaceful.

The wizard took off her gloves, and reached into the baggage to retrieve a finely crafted ring and a dagger, and placed them on the pedestal before the statue. Then she swept her hair away from her face and raised her hands, reciting the lines of the Mystran offering. Though the words slightly differed from that taught by the priests, her voice seemed modest and sincere.
"O Mystra, Mother of All Magic, I praise thee for letting me stand before thee and rejoice in thy sublime beauty, and the delight that is the Art. Enliven my faith today by helping me remember your gift to me as well as my responsibility in it's proper use."
"And so we bless the Lady of Mysteries."
She reached to her belt and took out a small vial. Opening it, she sprinkled the holy water onto the altar by flicking her fingers five times. Then she placed the dagger and the ring on the altar as well.
"O Mystra, Mother of All Magic, creator of the Art, grant me thy favor as I give back to thee a portion of the Art thee have given to us. Take back what was always in thy possession."
"And so we bless the Lady of Mysteries."
Then she lowered her hand and closed her eyes to continue with reciting the Mystran dogma, while the contained magic of the offered items gently broke free and subsumed back into the Wave.


//And a big thanks to Tsidkenu for devising the rituals! =) //

Every now and then, a young half elf would enter the temple. If asked, she would tell, she was a member now. Just a key is still missing she is waiting for. She would brig offerings, mostly in form of magical things or scrolls.

Also she would read the records and make herself familiar with the things the temple investigates. She would offer help with whatever she is able to do. Otherwise she would stand guard, watching the people going in and out. She would talk to them if they would like. If not, she would leave them to their prayers and take care they won't be disturbed.

She would not always be in the temple, but also hav times she would go out on patrols.

[Cinta]

Magical light glows up and a sun elf woman appears in the teleportation circle, in the centre of the altar chamber. The wizard now wears a representative white-blue formal robe and her hair is tied up in a fancy manner.

She greets Neela with a wide smile and asks her if the new members are currently in the church.

[Miyuki]

At least Seraphina could be caught at times, if there is someone who would like to talk to her.

[Ravial]

Since a day ago, a sun elven enchantress known as Amaevael could be seen entering the Mystran Temple in Baldur's Gate- oddly carrying two thick blankets and a basket filled with various fruits, bread and otherwise food. As she walks inside the building, she'd ask if Knight of Mystic Fire known as Nezkreal is available.

[CommanderKrieg]

The arcane knight known as Nezkreal can be seen returning to the temple. The ice resting on her shoulders seems to be pink and stained with blood. The arcanist has no visible wounds, and greets the elf at the door. "You'll have to excuse me", she said leading the elf to the library. "It would seem our troubles aren't far away." arriving in the library the paladin kept a respectful distance and accompanied the elf as she used the library. Nezkreal worked for the rest of the day on a book of writings and a long letter.

[Ravial]

Amaevael, thinking better than to query regarding the odd colouring of ice at this moment, proceeds to the library along with Nezkreal. There she can be found spending times with any and all assortments of books regarding pacts of magical natures outsiders and any and all lore present at the temple's library regarding fey and faerie realms. A few blank books and scrolls prepared, as are three inkwells. If asked about it, she responds - "I will be writing what knowledge I can regarding my current research that this library does not possess, and leave these here for everyone to read."

[CommanderKrieg]

"That is greatly generous of you." Nezkreal remained in the temple awaiting any visitors. She quietly went back to work at the small desk in the library.

[Cinta]

After a short discussion with Seraphina, Syndreth asked her if she could help her in a matter of great interest for the Temple.
//PM sent.//

Not much later, the wizard strolled into the library and seemed completely immersed reading the particularly long scroll she held with both hands. Without looking up from the parchment, she halted before the small round table on the side of the room, then sit down finally, still in deep concentration on the writings of the scroll.

[CommanderKrieg]

The sorceress came back to the temple later in the day and spoke with sister Neela. The conversation was brief but pleasant. The paladin took her time walking through the church, picking up misplaced books before coming to her desk in the library. She worked quietly on her notes before folding a letter and dropping it in a box. When she was finished in the library, she made her way to Sydreth who had seemed to be working. Nice day to be inside all day working.." she smiled, her tone light. I have that key that you requested." The paladin placed a icy blue pendent on the table, the stone pulsed calmly with a low arcane light. "The stone and key should offer complete access to the temple. Is there anything else you wish to discuss?"

[Cinta]

Syndreth looked up to the Mystic Knight with a somehow tired expression.
"Fair day, Nezkreal. Ah, the key.. Thank you, I am sure she will be pleased to have that.
About having a nice day though... It would have been better if I didn't leave the temple yesterday."
She made a sour smile, then continued when seeing the sorcerer's questioning expression.
"I had a rather painful experience just last night.. Even though I had a nice rest and an excellent glass of wine in great company in Doron Amar soon after that, there still remained a problem that I have to solve somehow... But, don't you want to take a sit?"
Then the two of them had a long and compassionate talk that made the wizard's mood lighten a bit before she left towards the scholars' quarters to have a rest.
