Refugees (Moore)

[Nephrite]

Yep. He'll use 7 of his 3rd level casts and 4 4th level to cover all of it.

[Anastasia]

Done, done and done. You cast your magic as you flutter about, tending to the ill and exhausted. They sleep sounder after your ministrations, Priest aiding you and seeing to them.

Priest carefully checks each one over, examining scars both old and new. He checks the pulses of the resting, murmurs prayers over them and then goes to the next. After about going through a third of them, Priest pauses and speaks aloud.

"There is no doubt they are long term victims of torture. They are alive only because the devils wished them to suffer longer. Triune grant them mercy, be the elves or others."

[Nephrite]

"I know there are spells to modify the memory of someone..." Moore taps his chin. "I don't like the idea of using them for this, but... I suppose it would depend on the individual's wishes. Still, perhaps invoking a stronger spell... mm." He huffs. "What do you think, Priest? I..."

He looks away. "If I had the choice of remembering a horrible time I spent somewhere or being free of its burdens... I ... would... probably still want to remember. So I knew how far I'd come."

[Anastasia]

"We call on the holy to wash away pain and allow them to grieve, grow and move on." Priest is quiet, keeping his voice down. "Should it be needed, the memories of past agony can be gently washed away, but it is not preferred. Is not forgetting the root of your problem, no matter how painful the memories could be?"

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Yes, I agree."

He rubs his chin afterwards. "I'll have to ask Laura if she knows any other spells that might help out in this situation. I don't know that we need such strong magic as those that call on wishes or miracles... but hopefully just being able to sleep for a while in some comfort will give them respite."

[Anastasia]

"Being saved will give them respite. We must also provide them spiritual nourishment as much as physical nourishment. I will see to it that clergies come to claim their own and offer them good messages to draw strength from." There is a pause as Priest looks around, slowly sweeping his hand across the room. "In the ashes of diabolical tragedy shall the fires of purity burn anew. Amid these there will be paladins, clerics, favored souls and other holy champions. They will be galvanized by what happened to them and become righteous avengers against Baator."

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles. "Of course. I hope they can all find their paths back to the lives they deserved to live from the beginning. Although... a thought occurs to me, what do we do with them in the interim? I suppose we have both demiplanes to work with..."

[Anastasia]

"We'll find places for them to rest," Priest says, "They need time most of all right now. Time to realize they've woken up and the nightmare is over."

[Nephrite]

"I suppose we're not going to be strained on resources." Moore says. "If we need to build housing for them in one of the demiplanes, I think I can handle that part. ...Hm. Do you think we should prepare for a reprisal here, or do you think they'll just be focusing on everyone still on Lifasa?"

[Anastasia]

"We are not an easy target, and a retreat to a better place is an option," Priest says, "Yet it is inevitable we will be attacked eventually."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "No sense in worrying about it. Is there anything else you'd like help with for them right now?" He asks.

[Anastasia]

"Yes," Priest says, "Get several soldiers and have them bring food over. Nothing that will spoil fast or sit poorly, simple food that's easy to eat. Porridge, soups, soft bread."

[Nephrite]

Surely there's magic that can do that...

Either way, Moore nods. "I'll find some." He confirms and will go to have some folks help him bring food!

[Anastasia]

Make a Wisdom check.
