Soup Kitchen Progress
-
Sir Mariston Thel and knights of the Order arrive to aid with the process, dutifully and quietly seeking to offer aid where it is needed.
-
[Town criers in the Commerce and Docks Districts announce that the soup kitchen has reopened and free medical check-ups are now available there.]^
Sir Galin of the Triad Temple sends some clerics to the docks. They along with the Selûnites and women of the crumbling orphanage hang up burlap draperies around the porch to create a makeshift Triage Center. People are checked for signs of plague infection.
Those showing any signs of sickness are brought to the Triad Temple for treatment.
Those given a clean bill of health are allowed into the soup kitchen where they are given double portions as the food drives have been very productive of late with many offering large contributions. The thinking being that well fed, the populace will have a better chance to stave off sickness.
Sister Shade blesses the bowls, cups, and cutlery inbetween each wash cycle to purify them. She asks any with healing abilities that stop by to please do the same as they are able. Food and water is also purified on a regular basis.
The women work themselves almost to the point of collapse and keep the children upstairs to avoid undue risk of infection.

Marie and Shade are seen at the Soup Kitchen, organising some changes to help out those who come to them for a meal. At where the line used to start is set up a clerical station, manned by several healers.
Their instructions are to check all who come for a meal for the plague before they are allowed to move down the line. Those who do come forward with plague like symptoms are kindly sent to the temple for healing of their condition.
Any who have concern at the treatment that they or their friends might suffer are offered the chance to see first hand what the temple is doing to help out the plague victims, and to accompany any they wish to.
Seems like the soup kitchen is back in business.

{Sister Silmiel is seeking the man in black wanting to know what he wishes from them}
-
A man in black and red walks up to the sign, reads it, then seeks out an individual involved with the soup kitchen, something on his mind.
-
A passing dwarf mentions that there is an expert Extermination Service in town that might be willing to help for a very low fee, or even for honorable mention…

::Kresha reads the sign over…her eyes furrow slightly then looks about for any nearby sisters::
...::she mutters::...well intended but this could cause a panic...I do hope they spoke with a city official before hanging this out for all to see...

[A notice is posted on the door of the old orphanage which is now locked up tight]
We regret to inform you that due to the severe public health risk of a magical plague the soup kitchen will remain closed until the infected are found and treated. Kill and burn any rats on sight. If you find red or black spots on your skin please distance yourself from your loved ones and find a cleric immediatly and inform them.
If you can get Tea Tree Oil mix a couple of drops in a glass of water and drink the tonic 3 times a day. Only do this if you get sick first.
We will do what we can but the best prevention of this disease is issolation.

Senator Ronan Redralen makes an appearance near the newly forming soup kitchen, where he mostly just offers polite conversation, and a few jokes here and there. However, his appearance is brief, due to wanting to keep some distance from the tent city folk, more out of avoiding conflict than actual fear of the inhabitants. The time he does spend, he hands a colorful flower to each Sister, a different color for each individual, and encourages them in their actions with helping the city.

Saddened, but undeterred by the actions of some of the tent city inhabitants, Marie encourages the other ladies to keep the work up regardless of what is said, and not to turn away any who come to the for a meal.
There are some who don't want our aid. That's fine, that's their choice. But, there are others who need it. We should keep working here, but stay out of the tent city, and let them come to us. Your safety is more important to me than any work we can do here, and I don't want to see any of you hurt.
Sister Silmiel, thank you so much for your willingness to help with their ills. And Alberon, for stepping in to help. Sister Shade, you are an inspiration to us all.
We need to stay here, and do what good we can, where we will be allowed to continue without harrassment.

Silmiel is effectively jostled out of the Tent City by two untalkative, burly looking sailor types, her presence seemingly decidedly unwelcome, much like most others who attempt to go there.
-
{Sister Silmiel goes from one person to an other looking for signs of illness or diseases,curing those who needs it and healing any wound.She makes pleasant converations with humors bringing as much happiness as she can about the tent city}
-
'Welcome! You can start by keeping those tent city rioters from burning down the orphanage!' One of the women throws an apron at Alberon and makes room for him to help serve during the mid day meal rush. They point out Marie and Shade scurrying about for business discussions.
-
Alberon can be seen observing the soup kitchen with a smile while still helping around the docks as he is able. After a few days he decides to approach the group to offer more direct aid.

Guardian Marie and Little Sister Shade enter the crumbling orphanage the Selunites assist, next to the tent city, looking beat up and laden with huge burlap bags of rice.
"Enough here for two months worth of soup!" The young half-elven exclaims, cheery despite her fresh bruses and an older injury, a slow-healing broken wrist. The women of the house gossip wondering what the Sisters have been doing to get the food, but greatful none-the-less.
"We are working to secure flour now for a steady supply of fresh bread!" She tells the others as she prepares the cauldron.
Just helping to make other's lives a little easier seems to be the greatest reward the young girl could hope for.
As the days pass and the soup is handed out to any and all who wish it Shade takes a small batch and puts it out back behind the building next to the tent city away from public scrunity for any who might be too pround to ask for food, but might yet be hungry.
She leaves quietly, after the children are asleep and under cover of darkness stalks the orcs on Duncan Hertwell's abandoned lands to the west, to take from them their ill-gotten gains to further supply the needy with food.

Brother Aelthas,
I have done some digging since I last wrote you and see that after the war it was revealed that the Seafarer's old leader Vaster Ashald and a few others were involved in a scandal involving the witholding of food from citizens for better profits.
I have never been one for this politics thing.. frankly I do not have a mind for it because it is well beyond me, but if the Guild helps us by allowing us to lease their property and establish this soup kitchen it should go a far way among the people to distance the current leaders from the old corrupt ones. Perhaps you can mention that to Senator Rath Ashald?
May Selune guide you.
Sister Shade
