A young goddess I see

You pay for the rings and pick up the statues by paying a man to use his cart and mule, (5s) when you get back to the temple district you look around not sure what to do, you stop a cleric to ask about it and they point a building, when you walk up to it an old man walk out, his eyes brighten when he see you how may I serve you?" are you celena or bard?

Like we discussed in Yahoo chat I will change back to celena just before I reach the shrine district.

"Yes sir I would like to place a shrine here. Could you assist me please?"

"Hmmmmph, I have 1 shrine site, there a rumor there may be another open, and I have 2 small temples and 1 medium temples. The king get a 1% of your yearly tithe for the use of the land for the shrine and 2% of your yearly tithe if you take a small temple, and 3% of your tithe if medium. The land revert back to the King if no cleric care for the place after 1 year.
From the corner of your eye you see David walking through the gates of the temple district,

“I think that I would like to acquire the medium temple that you have left. Does the king require anything up front?”

"No the king does not, a hmmmmph cough tax man will show up one the first of each month and check your books on income and then sign a receipt after you give him the amount of 2% of your tithe." look at the build to the west,pointing to it, "would you like to see it, you may have to have some of the gypth and wall staturary destroy and new one to replace them, and murals taken off and new one added, I have a cousin that will clear off any wall for a fee. You walk up to it, it is a beautiful temple on the outside, "Joseph is my name, this temple have been abandon for over 800 years when the other gods force him out due to the fact he would not follow rules. Most gods don't want to use the building afraid to make hime angry, I think it Irul, God of Hate, and this was his temple of Hate here over 800 years ago. It the only medium temple we have."

“I have already made Irul very upset with me; why not add more fuel to the fire. I will take it. Can you tell me how much your cousin would charge me to make the inside all clean?”

** I’m asking the question here so that we can place the costs on a post so that I can remember it. **

Question

What time in the afternoon is it?

Several fireball and lightning bolt from toby could clear them or 10 workers at 1 sp each a day
take the 10 worker 5 days to clear the walls and haul away the debris so it will 50 sp to clear the wall for 5 days 3 day to replaster 30 more silver total cost 80 sp.

You hear David whisper into your ear, "You will need to Bless and Cleanse it, I believe Misha understand the process maybe you two spend a few days in Serenity learning with Licus will help you all while I help James and the dwarves built her shrine, you will need to help Licus Bless and Cleanse it." You surprise that David was behind you, you not hear him walk up.

Joseph said, if you want a muralist I know a few but they are costly, but their was a young boy in here a few days ago looking for work, the temples all turn him down because he too you, only 17, but he work is that of a master, and the local guild will not let him join until he can pay their yearly dues, 500 gp. his work is like Anejello Delco"

(a Michelangelo Buonarroti of your time, who if you remember at age 16 carve his first statue from granite and did sistene chapel murals) Anejello Delco did the art for Deltesta Main Temple, you seen it he painted for the goddess for 80 years, and stories said he painting in the Heavens for several gods their homes."

“Joseph I would like to hire your cousin to clear the walls and put new plaster on them. If you can get him to start tomorrow I will give him five gold. If he does a tremendous job I will give him five more. I would also like to talk to this young boy. When can you get him here?

"I tell my cousin, The young man paint down at the docks in the afternoons, you can't miss him he paint on a canvas sitting on a stool will several young ladies around."

"Thank you sir for the help."

I will look at David.

"Shall we go talk to this young boy?"

If he says yes then I will say goodbye to the gentleman and then head towards where the boy should be.

It getting to be late afternoon and you find the man with 5 women around him some 20 years older than him most about his age, he not paying any of them attention, he about 50 ft from you boat painting it on canvas, it over 3/4 done and it like a masterpeice you find in a museum, the ship is in flight with clouds all around and sunlight on the tops of the clouds. the canvas is 4' by 4' in size and you realize you notice him over the last few days but been busy to see what he doing or why there are women around him.

I will walk up amongst them. “I really love your work Mr. Fradelli”

He pause and look up at you, then got up and bow to you, "tttth th th thank," he stutters "Hhhhhow cccan I hhhhelp you?"

“Would you like to see my ship?”

If he says yes then I will escort him onto the ship.

“Please sit down and relax. Would you like something to drink?”

I am trying to get him to relax a little. I will talk to him for a little about his art and basically try to get him to relax a bit.

“I have a proposition for you. I understand that you are having a bit of a problem paying your first year dues to the guild. I have just acquired a temple and need someone of your talent to paint some new murals on it for me. If I agree to pay your dues would you paint the most magnificent pieces of art on my walls for me?

"Yyyyyyes, IIIII wwwould," looking very happy, you realize he has a speech problem, he not nervous as he brush back his blond hair from his eyes, "IIII wwwwill st st start after III ppppay mmmy dddues aand ffffinish mmmmy ppppainting. IIII never ssstart aa ppproject uuuntil III fffinish ooone."

The other ladies look disappoint you took him away and most have left except for one young blond girl she sits quietly reading a book on some crates, she looks up to see where he is then go back to reading, she look to be about 10 years old.

“Great. So who is your friend that is reading the book while waiting for you finish talking with me?”

He look over at her then look away, "That my sister Lizzy, she 10, I keep an I eye on her while mom ... working."

"If you don't mind me asking, what does your mom do?"

He looks away, then back at you, "Sssshe wwwworks attt the the the Bbbbusty La la lady"

“Why don’t you two come with me? I will take you to the guild and make sure that they know that it is you who I am paying the dues for. Are you hungry?”

"wwwe nnnot hhhungry III mmmake aaa lllllittle fffor uuuus to eeeat. Tttthank yyyou" he follow you to the guild with his sister in toll, The guildmaster was not happy but he assign him a permit, you realize they are imtimidated by his skill and that fact he not had a master to teach him.

As you about to leave the Guild you hear a chuckle, "You made Old Faris have to swallow his own pride, Hello, son (not the father just a term for a boy) I hope those tips I told you help?"
The girl smile at him, the Boy said, "hello MMMMaster Gggavan, yyyes it hhhhelp."
"So you are the young Goddess Celena, pleasure to meet you, he a good lad, I have help the boy when I can, even offer to sponsor him, but because of his mother we not allow to help. rules I guess."

“Good to meet you too Master Gavan. What does what his mom does for a living have to do with not helping a young man of his talent? I am sure that there are better professions but that still shouldn’t have anything to do with his being helped.”

"Boy can you take your sister outside," the boy nodded and take her outside. when the door close. "She the low of low, she work for a whore house, neither of the children know their fathers, she drinks until she pass out and uses drugs into a daze and use the money to make to buy both when she runs out she goes back to selling her body she has lost 4 babies from her drinking the courts had her fix so she not have more but they not know about the boy and girl. She don't care if the man,woman is halfling to ogres or a creature as long as they pay. The boy been selling his art to pay for their food, and the live somewhere on the wharves, it was surprising they survive the orcs. She not a good woman, a few years ago she tried to sell the girl to a man."

“I understand that his mother is the lowest of lows but that is not his fault. I have always thought that what the parent does should not reflect on the child. Do the children still care for their mother?”

"It not that they not care for her, she cares nothing for them, if there was an orphanage they would been in it, they like hundreds of other children live on the streets, The boy has a wizard teach his sister to read and write, in return he paints for the wizard, the sister teaches him at night to read. And in this world we are who we are because of our parents, status and rank your either a lowly born or a high born."
