“Take them to an orphanage and leave them there with money for their upkeep. Except that is complicated in this case by the fact that you mentioned they are perhaps fugitives from Chelish justice; if they are we will hand them over.”

Permalink

"I would not Call it Justice. If they are Enslaved, would you Hand them Over Anyway? Would you Hand me Over, merely for Being Undead, such being apparently Lawful to Kill There?"

Permalink

No one on the run from justice thinks it’s justice. “Osirion may at its discretion extradite any free person of Osirion to Cheliax on Cheliax’s credible assurance that they committed a serious crime in Cheliax, unless they can plead under truth magic that they did not commit the alleged crime. If someone wanted to extradite a slave they would pursue civil action against the slave’s owner and seek to be awarded the slave in civil court.”

"It seems that the Incentives Here are for Me to Enslave Them to Protect them from the Putative Justice of Cheliax." 

Haria wiggles, in deep thought. "And Yet That does not seem to be in Accordance with My Friend Eriape's Final Request."

"What are the Requirements to Found an Orphanage?"

Permalink

He has to look that one up. "Orphanages may be founded by any Lawful church, or the Church of Sarenrae, if the other orphanages they operate perform in aggregate in the top two thirds of orphanages in Osirion."

Permalink

"Can one Earmark a Donation for Such, by Means of a Contribution to the Church of Abadar?"

Permalink

"Yes, you may contribute to the Church of Abadar's orphanages, and you may if you choose contribute money they may use only to found a new orphanage."

Permalink

"May one Thereby Purchase the Naming Rights to the Resulting Orphanage?"

Permalink

"It depends on how large the donation."

Permalink

"With your Help, I have now Realized how Urgent it is to Found the 'Lady Eriape Was Innocent' Orphanage. Thank you, Sir Guard. When you See me again, I may have Fewer Dependents."

Permalink

Thaaaat's going to obviously get refused on the grounds that no one wants an orphanage named after a patron lich but he doesn't want to be the one to tell the thing this news.



Also, Cheliax, your insane Avistani undead, so vastly inferior to our sensible Garundi undead, are leaking again and apparently evacuating fugitives by Teleport.

Haria walks, then, to the Main Temple of Abadar in Sothis. She walks up to one of the convenient acolytes there. 

"Pardon me, Good Cicerone Sir, But I am looking for directions to the Orphanage Department."

Permalink

If she's willing to wait a little and pays some fees she can be directed to a representative of the three orphanages (two for girls, one for boys) that the Church of Abadar runs in Sothis.

Permalink

She is willing to wait a little and pay some fees!

This person is far from delighted that their day now features consultations with a talking animal but so it goes sometimes. "How can I help you, sir?"

Permalink

It is not clear from her face how Harià feels about anything.

"Hello! I am Harià. I am a Badger from Cheliax, and I have the responsibility for a small Number of Urchins. I would like to Ensure the Well-Being of these Urchins, this being the last Request of my Friend who was Employing Them. It has been suggested that an Orphanage is the Right Place. It so Seems apt to Name the Institution Responsible for Their Well-Being for my Friend. I would like to know what this would Cost- Perhaps to Found a special so Named Institution, or to Temporarily Rename an Existing One."

Permalink

"....well, it depends what you'd want to name it. If you'd like to have a Her Majesty Aspexia III orphanage, I expect you could purchase the naming rights with a donation of perhaps fifteen thousand Absalom pounds. If you wanted to name it after the pretender Queen Abrogail II, of course we can't do that."

Permalink

"Unfortunately Both of Those Women are my Enemies. I would like it Named the 'Lady Eriape was Innocent Orphanage', if you Please."

Permalink

 

 

 

 

"Sorry, we're not able to do that."

Permalink

"Why is then This beyond your Capacities?"

Permalink

"I know who Lady Eriape is. She's the lich from Cheliax who came to Osirion yesterday to get her autobiography published. You cannot name an orphanage either after a lich or after a claim about a lich's innocence."

Permalink

"That is Most Unfair. She was always Nice to All the Badgers and taught me Magic. Does this Policy Prohibit only her Name or is it Any Reference to Her Whatsoever?"

Permalink

"Absolutely no references of any kind to any lich in orphanage naming. An orphanage should be named after a worthy person who is an example to the orphans."

Permalink

"What are the Qualifications for Being such a Worthy?"

Permalink

"You should be a wealthy, respected, living person, ideally of Osirion, who any Osirian would be proud that their taxes were paying to raise orphans into."
