1. Find a Tailor/Designer and pay them handsomely to open up shop (party or not) and make a couple of prototype sets of vestments/dress uniforms for Lysse and myself that would be stylish and appropriate for out status as high priestess and defender of the faith. Get the prototypes ready asap, $$$$ not an issue and sweeten the pot with orders for enough less ornate sets for all the little priestly girls back home and a few tabards for future use by my holy warriors.
500 gp worth of both day to day and Ocassion vestments for all the girls and myself.
2. Once properly adorned set out to learn out about the political interplay between the other factions of Cirda’s pantheon and the reaction to Cirda’s return. Provided sentiment is not totally hostile we will rent a nice posh place and have a nice feast and great with our brethren! The whole party is welcome, as is the sage(s) that research Cirda for us. Soloman might wish to invite some of the notables he has been playing ambassador with.
500 gp spent on a lavish buffet and entertainment as we hosted the vast majority of the Religious elite of GreyHawk. Including such notables as the high priests of Beory (Jonathan Please supply names) Procan (sounds like a roofing company) Rao, Heironeous, Norebo, Obah-Hai, Pholtus, Ralishaz(invited but hopefully he stayed away) St Cuthbert(and his daughter Elisa)
Over the course of the evening Rild escorted Lysse, told many times the tales of Cirda's release, her blessings, our attempt to fight the good fight and made the case for our recognition as a state, requests for political or logistical support ( example Heironeous being a martial god might have Artilarists, engineers/architechs/etc in his follow that might visit for a short time to train or advise.( Opportunities for other players to interact , smooze etc are available if you should choose to bother Jonathan.)
3. Query about and find us a nice talented bard to immortalize the story of freeing Cirda, our brave battles for survival and the mystery of the space ship.
( I did not deal with this yet)
4. Hire a quality scribe or two willing to return to the town and begin documenting the words and new history of the faith as well as the towns history.
(1 scribe at 15gp/month 5gp,)
5. Hire a teacher, as we will need one for both the town youth and likely to make sure all our new little priestesses are literate and reasonably well rounded in religious history, occult and the political situation in this region of the world. (I don’t know how bright or educated these girls were to start with so best we make sure
(1 teacher 20 gp a month + board who will round out the girls and start up a town school) As the priestesses were all given level 1 I assume that memory dump took place and some of the things I wanted the to learn got rammed into their heads by Cirda, hence the NWP picks I made on their sheets Jonathan)
6. Question , while I only submitted girls for the test to pick the first high priestess, is the religion inclusive can men be ordained?
(mostly women become priest but men(probably funny men) could join, Men who serve would mostly do so as Warrior monks, Asetics and if qualified Palidans.) Standard rules for preistly weapons
7. Commission 7 more sets of Cirda statues , 4 much closer to real life sized for future smaller shrines, 1 slightly smaller than Cirdastan’s, and 2 private room sized.( order Scaled down to 1 more temple sized set and 2 room sized, no price attributed)
8. As I understand it Non citizens cannot buy land in the city, so look to buy a building site outside the city walls for a 2x medium stone building (as per castle book) and put into motion those things needed to build a small temple in the lesser slums? with a small school, soup kitchen and nursing station. (hire staff, guards, builders, architect as appropriate) no need to rush construction but do get things going.
(most of the war refugees have moved on or joined the city proper and the area I was looking at is full of scum, there are two likely places for a temple that do not involve the costs of buying and building in the city. Those would be a village about 5 miles out of the town along the highroad, and at the makeshift town forming around the garrison at the DMZ. As soon as a couple of the junior priestesses are able I will fund new temples in these locations.)
9. Reach out to the dominate power/thugs/personalities in the neighbourhood and voice my concerns over the long term safety and sanctity of this project. The importance to me that its social services and sanctuary status not be messed with and explain the benefits its presence will offer the community. Apply small bribes and subtle warnings where needed.(we can email or skype roll play anything you wish to.
(now irrelevant)
10. Hire 100 casual labourers for digging and toting and 25 assorted stone workers of various levels of skill, arrange transport, tools and provisions for them. (they will be assigned to building my keep/castle/enclosure or the temple. I suggest we take turns doing our personal building rather than bid up labour and material cost in the region.)
(still needs doing)
11. Begin searching bars, guild houses and hospices for swordsmen of high skill and good repute but unable to work because of disease. Look especially for those who receive praise and references for loyalty and honour from their peers. Offer up to 10 of these men a new lease on life with a year long contract, lodging and a cure for their disease.
Cannot go forward until a decision on cure disease is reached.
12 Approach the cities orphanages and see if we might acquire some bright young children to foster at in Cirdastan.
