Tales of the Jewel

Some are inspired by the mercy of Shilah while others are inspired by wanting to be perceived as merciful. Whichever the case some souls take time out of festivities and celebration to provide care to those less fortunate than themselves.

There is no navigation roll required for this event.

While characters may, fluff wise, be involved in all these efforts select one of the following approaches for the purposes of the event:

Tend the Ill: Illness and mistreated wounds are common among the less fortunate of the city.

Roll Medicine/Intelligence TN10. This roll requires a medicine kit and counts as a use plus an additional use for each raise called.

On success gain one Day Point and an additional Day Point for each successful raise. Uses of the medicine kit are expended whether the roll succeeds or fails.

Characters with Insensitive must either spend a Void Point or add 5 to the TN to take this approach. Paragon of Compassion, Failure of Compassion, and Blessing of Akbar the Irrigator apply.

Feed the Hungry: With the size of the city, and the number of hungry, it is more about logistics than anything else.

Roll Commerce/Intelligence TN15.

On success gain one Day Point and an additional Day Point for each successful raise.

Characters with Insensitive must either spend a Void Point or add 5 to the TN to take this approach. Characters with Inari's Blessing gain a free raise. Paragon of Compassion, Failure of Compassion, and Blessing of Akbar the Irrigator apply.

Alms for the Poor: How much does a date cost anyway, fifty pool?

For every Copper donated you may gain either one Day Point or 0.1 Glorious Reputation. You may gain a maximum of 5 Day Points and 0.5 Glorious Reputation in this manner.

Characters with Greedy may not choose this approach.

A casting of Heal may replace the roll in Tend the Ill but does not benefit from raises or may give a free raise on the roll.

A casting of The First Wholeness or The Second Purity may add a free raise to Tend the Ill

A casting of The First Purity may add a free raise to Feed the Hungry

Other magic may be applicable.

In all cases subtle casting applies to avoid negative repercussions.

Soraya went out and on a spending spree, as was often the case for her during Festival. She still had no idea what things were supposed to cost, but did it matter? The people got fed, and she had fun shopping. A win-win all around!

(spending 10 copper for 5 Day points and 0.5 glory)

Qara decided to offer the most immediate of aid.

Money.

OOC:
5 Copper spent for 5 Day points

As soon as he had heard rich people were making generous donations on this sacred day, al-Haddar had rushed to the warehouse to help organize all the donations, in money or in kind.

For some mysterious reason however, the persons in charge didn't find him trustworthy enough for such a noble cause and had sent him on a fool's errand on the other side of the Maze, to take delivery of a package that never existed in the first place.

Who could have guessed being known as a bit of a swindler would have such unfortunate consequences?

This was something he did on a regular basis. It was how he had made a living, of course - and it would probably be what he'd be doing for a living far from the Jewel as well when it came to that. But he also made a point of offering treatment to those who couldn't pay, not only on holy days, but a few times a week.

That more people were doing the same today was a blessing, of course, and it brought a small smile to his lips as he set up the usual cloth with some food and his medical aids. Still, he couldn't help but wonder how better things could be if the generosity some showed today was present once or twice every week.

Of course, once a year was better than none, so he tried to shake that off his mind as he put himself to work - the same work he did so often, just maybe more visible today.

3 Day Points; 3 med kit uses expended.

EDIT: Also spending 10 pool for his usual humble offer of food (say fruit) and water

Such a large city, so much to do...and while Bazir could live somewhat comfortably he was unable to do much with his meager wealth. His skills and connections would be how he would help his fellow man today.

To that end he convinced his friend Rashid to join him to manage the logistics of the food distribution and their efforts were fruitful.

No glory is ever given to honest labor but the results were worth it anyway.

An End to Suffering, Feed the Hungry, commerce, Merchant ally for +4, two raises | 6k3+4 ⇒ 26 (TN: 25)

Three day points, ally used for the session.

The city was large and full of need, but Qasim was more than a pretty face and rich wallet. When he put his mind to it he was actually somewhat of a genius with numbers and finances. While he was not a religious man he did actually have a caring for the poor of the city. So with a little time and a bit of effort Qasim came up with a few very solid plans to help distribute the wealth a bit better to help more people.

The Senpet looked at her medicine kit to aid some with stomachache and those who were feeling kind of queasy. She took her herbs and potions and gave it to the sick.
