If only there were a way you could change my mind and convince me to do just that! Oh wait... there is!

Pathfinder isn't THAT type of role-playing, Meri, and you know it!

Dear Meri-chan,

Remember my comment earlier about elixirs of love? They're very versatile.

A-HEM!!!

That....that does not look like me at all! And I certainly don't have a...a....what IS that, a ring? Through my....oh, by the Light of the Dawn (facepalm).

Meri, I am going to have to ask that you keep these art commissions a bit more....private.

Merisiel, how come you're the only one who talks to us? I mean, don't get me wrong, you're great - it's just your friends are great too and I'd like to ask them things. Any chance you could prod some of them toward making some appearances and answering some questions?

Probably because they're all too clogged up on their self-importantce. Fame's gone to their heads. They're all just kids though, so you can pardon them that.

AHEM.

Don't die.

What? Throw numbers and gibberish at me, and expect an answer?

Hit points? 4d12? dr 1?

I have heard people speak like this, when they have been lost in the desert for a week. Drink water. Rest. You will ask coherent questions later.

Kyra you find yourself confronted by a cleric of Asmodeus, a cleric of Zon-Kuthon and a cleric of Urgathoa, what do you do?

Wait for them to tear each other apart, naturally. Your proposed situation is absurd...these three, work together? I think Sunny has the right of it. It does sound like a very bad joke. Perhaps Lem has a better answer for you.

Hey I thought you tried finding the good in everyone. Why is it then that you just called some irredeemable?

Are you starting to get comfortable with getting asked questions?

I only ask the last question because you seem to be relaxing your guard a little, you even smiled a little bit ago and just now offered to hug Merisiel...though that's different than hugging one of us...which would be weird.

The undead are irredeemable...as are those who choose to pervert death into undeath. And those followers of Rovagug as well.

Rarely will there be a repentant one among them. I would have hope, however small, but sadly I have not encountered one yet.

This might be interresting to you, and there is a question.

Elsewhere in these message boards, a group of heroes reports that their priest of the Dawnflower has converted a goblin to a primative worship of Sarenrae.

Seeing this, would you have any words of advice for this Cleric on helping this goblin worshiper?

Truly? Well, I...ah...that is indeed a strange redeeming. My advice is to keep a close watch on this goblin. And, I would NOT allow him to spread the word of Sarenrae, as he does not understand much of the teachings, it seems. I cannot imagine what twisting of meanings this one would lay to the words of the Dawnflower in the attempt to "preach" to other goblins. It must be strongly explained to this creature that it takes YEARS to be entrusted to the position of priest, and have the duty that priests have. He is a follower, and he must practice his faith in Sarenrae through honesty and kindness.

Why are there so many similar questions here to questions folks are asking me over on my thread? Kyra and I are different people! Ask us different questions!

Yes, I saw that, too. The answers are going to be different, so I can see why they are asking us both. Keep in mind, I don't answer silly and superfluous questions. Merisiel, however, does.

Also, Kyra hates scythes, because they're usually attached to Urgathoa flunkies.

Scythes are meant to be a farmer's tool. That those irredeemable undead-lovers of Urgathoa prefer them....

I'm helping! What do I get as a prize, Kyra?

Thank you, Merisiel. A....um, a hug?

And I'm sure that there are plenty redeemable souls in the Shackles who need to find the forgiveness of Sarenrae.....

Also remember that not all pirates need be villains.

Andoran's Gray Corsairs would be understandably considered pirates by many other inner nations. Yet, I doubt that many followers of Sarenrae would consider them evil.

True words spoken, Lord Fyre. Indeed.

You are....not far off.

I must give Valeros more credit than that, though. He does not stab wildly. He is rather precise. And he doesn't scream for healing. He does more of a grunt or wheeze by the time I get to him.

How do you feel about people who worship Urgathoa?

Do you know of any churches in Nirmathis where a cleric of Urgathoa could find employ?

I feel a STRONG dislike for them. narrows eyes

And if I DO know of any churches of Urgathoa in Nirmathas, they will be shut down and destroyed as soon as I locate them.

Sorry I would not be of more help to you.

In other words, "Would she be willing to take moral responsibility for any 'acts of violence or treachery' that this normally good person committed during this 'punking'?" (Do I understand you correctly?)

Or, "Would she be willing to take moral responsibility for pushing a 'not good' person further away from redemption?" Consider, what kind of moral example would this act of 'temporary' enslavement give that person? (Do I still understand you correctly?)

Hush. I asked because Merisiel answered without pause, and I'm interested in Kyra's take on the item/consequences.

None of them. I would not change who they were for my own amusement. This would be a violation of their free will. And, I think that the effect of this prank would essentially cause my companions to become evil. That is not a wise thing to do.

Surely you knew this would be my answer?

That others would do this as a prank.....ugh. Shameful.

Have you met anyone at all in your travels that made you think about stopping and settling down?

And what do you plan to do once retirement becomes an option?

Ah....yes. slowly smiles

There was such a man.....

Sadly, it was not meant to be. And so, my duty to the Healing Flame remains.

Retirement? I do not think of such things. Life is unexpected.

Ah, well. Zombies and wights, and some ghouls as well, have been purged from the catacombs. I do enjoy working with Seelah on tasks like this.

As a traveling cleric, do you ever go out and preach to the masses, run or assist with services to Sarenrae in the local church/shrine/cathedral/etc, or anything of the like?

I have preached on invitation before. There is not much downtime to do impromptu services, especially in regions that are not familiar with Sarenrae. I will and do speak to others on my faith, and I especially enjoy settling disagreements in a calm and peaceful manner.

Many priests and priestesses of the Dawnflower are assigned to temples. We the travelling followers are welcomed to share and attend the services of the local temple, but are rarely asked to assist. To do so would be showing that the local priest could not run their own service.

I have only done this once. The local priest was preaching falsely, and his message was not one of truth and light. It was poison. His congregation was cowed to his false teachings, and it was difficult for them to believe the truth. Luckily, the Healing Flame saw fit to relieve him of his priesthood....and his sight. He was not much for resistance after that. There was a good long month of my service to that temple before his replacement arrived.

Sorry....undead scourge....cleaning out the....catacombs.

No, Valeros, not that way! Don't let them.....ugh.

I will have to get back to you later....

I'm COMING, you big baby!!

By the blessed flames of Sarenrae, heal and be well...

Better, everyone? FORM UP!

So...is the reason you don't do what Merisiel wants to do with you is because of a vow you took in service to Sarenrae or is it more personal reason? And if it is a vow do all Sarenrae clerics take one? Or a similiar one?

To answer your polite, but obviously veiled, question....No, we are not required to forswear intimate relations with others. The Dawnflower is not such a prudish goddess!

The honest reason I decline Merisiel's advances is that I am not attracted that way to women. That is all. I do think Valeros is a fine specimen of man, but past his physical form, he is quite crude and wholly unappealing.

So if you had one thing to say about Sarenrae to people, what would it be?

The Dawnflower loves and cares for all that are honest and good, or truly wish to be. She lifts up the fallen, heals the sick, and brings light to the world. To follow Sarenrae, you must believe in honesty, kindness, and redemption.

So I was reading through the paladin codes in Faiths of Purity, and ran across this line in the book:

“The best battle is a battle I win. If I die, I can no longer fight. I will fight fairly when the fight is fair, and I will strike quickly and without mercy when it is not.”

Naturally there are differences in the restrictions on clerics and paladins. But I was curious as to what you considered to be a fair fight, or if fair fights are just fiction to you.

(sigh) Paladins....so eager to see the world in black and white.

For me the best battle is one where good overcomes evil, and none of my allies die. A fair fight is such a rarity, as it suggests an evenly matched battle, where the most gifted and talented side wins, and honor is valued.

Evil NEVER plays fairly.

As a courtesy, however, I do believe in giving the evil side one last chance to change their ways. They rarely accept the offer...

I'm afraid she's not looking for happiness in peoples arms...shes looking somewhere lower than that.

How very crude of you. Do you speak to all women this way, or just the ones you disrespect?

Pray to Calistria that Merisiel does not see this comment of yours....

Have you ever traveled to either Rahadoum or Alkenstar? And what did you think of both places?

I have not traveled to either place.

I have NO desire to visit Port Godless or the Kingdom of Man.

Alkenstar sounds quite interesting, but I feel no calling towards it.

So, whut be th' Cleri's code on gettin' a hug or score?

Aaaaand, how could other folks help ye in catchin' up on'a questions whut see t' be backin' up?

Oh! Maybe we could, like, have anuther "Guess th' Iconical's answer!" Thread! (^_^)

Much cheers t' ye an' yours!

I am not aware of any restrictions regarding hugs....

I am a busy woman. I endeavor to answer as many relevant and thoughtful questions as I can. If you are too impatient for this, I suggest you ask Merisiel more questions. She seems to have the time for them....

Have you noticed that people whose moral outlook is "Good" are generally happier then others? (…Even as they are made to sacrifice or suffer for their moral beliefs?)

I point this out because I see that even Merisiel would be happier if she could align herself with Sarenrae (or even Sarenrae's long time ally Densa).

** spoiler omitted **

I often wonder if Merisiel would find better hope and purpose following a different deity. While the Dawnflower does not seem to fit with her, I would say that Desna does. Calistria seems a bit too bitter, although I trust that her call to the tricksters is what appeals to Merisiel.

Only Merisiel knows what will bring her the joy in life she seeks.

And I know what her response will be, I'm afraid; but, she will be wrong. The happiness she seeks cannot be found in anyone's arms...

Do you have any siblings?

What is it that attracted you to becoming a Cleric?

If you could adventure anywhere where would it be and who would you bring with you?

Do you think its fair that elves get to live as long as they do?...well as long as they don't keep doing stupid stuff like Merisiel, its kind of amazing she hasn't died yet.

I do not, and did not, have siblings. I was my parents' only child, before the bandits came and destroyed our life together.

I would enjoy the opportunity to travel into Casmaron, to see the Padishah Empire and the Ourzid-Mah, especially. I would welcome any of my Iconic companions.

I do not envy the elves and their lifespan. Although they have the opportunity to do more good deeds in their years, it is not the number that matters...it is what one does in the time they are given.

I approve of this likeness of me....they even got the patterns in my robes correct. Impressive!

(narrows eyes at certain undead posters....and Merisiel)

Dear Kyra

What is your take on intelligent head gear?

Well, doesn't everyone like a 'smart-looking' hat?

Hello fellow cleric, I have a few questions for you.

Have you had a chance to use any of the new spells that just came out? If so whats your favorite one?

Do you find it frustrating when you've just healed your party members and then they go run off to find more trouble?

Have you ever thought about charging for your services? In times like those mentioned above it almost seems like a good idea...

Oh, create demiplane. I mean...how incredible is that?!?!

However, I am quite fond of the idea of casting forbid action on Merisiel, if it meant keeping her out of trouble!

YES.

NO. Healing is a gift of the The Healing Flame. I know that as much as it is frustrating to heal and have it taken for granted, my companions are there to save MY life as well.

Do you believe there's unredeemable evil in existence? I.e., evil so vile even your god could not redeem it?

Yes. It's called Rovagug.

If you ever found the surviving bandits that burned down your home, what would you do with them?

Have you ever thought about stopping your adventures to take up a more protective role of a singular community, or do you feel that travelling as you do is more productive to the Dawnflower's vision?

And what would be your preferred enchanted weapon?

The Everlight requires more of me than to exact revenge. I would look into their souls, to see if they were repented for that evil done to me. If they were still evil in their ways, I would see them sold into slavery, or tried and executed, as is my right by law.

I had that opportunity to decide between a life as a spiritual leader of a community, or this life. Sarenrae revealed to me her sign, the ankh, on the side of a ship. I took that ship, and it is what the Dawnflower wanted. When She has decided that I must do something different, then I will know.

I did not. You missed MY first post....

Hey, asking someone if they are tsundere is not in poor taste! Look it up, it's just asking whether or not you are as serious on the inside as you seem to be on the outside. Now asking if someone is yandere, that's a different story.

Very well. I have asked Ameiko what this term means. She laughed and said, 'Yes. Quite.' And then she explained it to me.

I must say you are probably correct. It is not a side you will see often, though. Perhaps when my life is less....intense. My companions have seen this lighter side on occasion...Lem is always sure to make me laugh. He is quite amusing, and clever with words.

I threw this one at the Enlarged Kender, so I'll ask you this as well, what would you do with a chest full of 10,000 platinum pieces, given to you as a reward?

Assuming your companions could manage to not get themselves into trouble for one day, what would be your 'ultimate day off' be like?

I would, of course, use it to promote the greater cause of Sarenrae.

Now, if this could be accomplished by purchasing advanced gear and weapons to assist me in the fight against unredeemable evil in the world, so be it.

I am, after all, practical, am I not?

A day off....a quiet day of prayers and reflection. I know of this secluded, beautiful oasis in my homeland...I would go there, I think.

Hello Kyra....a couple of question so we can learn from your wisdom in case we find ourselves in similiar siturations.

1) What was the worst situration Merisiel find herself in that you had to get her out of? Was there anything you would have done differently to aviod the trouble?

2) If you have another cleric(or oracle or anybody else with access to healing magic) and they refuse to let you do all the healing for the party instead of sharing the duties, would you consider not using your healing abilities on that person(barring of course that person is dieing of course) to a way to deal with that aituration?

3) Have you ever had to work with a evil person to defeat a greater evil? If so how did you deal with it? If not...how do you think you would eal with it?

Thank you for your time. Hope the battle vs evil and the redemption of people who have been lost in darkness is going well.

I have returned from my duties, and some much needed rest and restoration. Since many of you have waited, patiently and respectfully, I will answer you.

1) There are too many to recount a worst...according to Merisiel, they were ALL merely minor scrapes that she would have gotten out of. (snort) Doubtful. I believe that one of the worst situations I can remember was when we were first starting out...in Kassen's tomb. I believe you can read my journal notes somewhere . In short, Merisiel ran into the tomb, attacked some zombie, got herself flanked, and was clawed down.

2) I am not sure I understand your question...are you saying they wouldn't let me do any healing at all? I do not believe this is what you are asking, so I will answer you as if you asked if this other healing refused to share in the healing duties. This person would NOT be joining us in the future. Such selfishness has no place in a group that commonly faces danger and death. I would demand that this person put aside their pettiness, and come to the aid of the party and its needs. Or leave. However, in the meantime, I would merely cast compassionate ally on them.

3) I have had this experience. By working towards a common goal, and one which results in a good outcome, this evil person makes a step towards redemption. I will always hope for the chance to help one who has fallen upon the wrong path to take that step.

I apologize for Sayyida al Kiraan's absence from this thread. She is occupied at the moment with some of my mistress's followers in Katapesh.

narrows eyes

Yes, monstrous children, indeed. I was overseeing a shipment of wayfinders to a local lodge, when we were beset by a group of Lamashtu's followers.

What they wanted with wayfinders is beyond me...all is well, though. The Healing Flame cleansed them of their evil. And their lives.

Yes, yes. I see all the questions. I will return to them in a short while.

So how seriously do you take Merisiel unceasing advances towards you? Given you are a regular companion of hers, I figure you would have a better idea if she is just joking with you, or is actually serious about her attempts to, ah-hem, make your relationship more friendly then it currently is.

Merisiel is Merisiel. Her advances, serious or in fun, are just a part of her way of relating to me. I honestly believe she does this merely because she enjoys my retorts and rebuffs, my eye-rolling, or my sighs of exasperation. That said, I would suspect that her intentions are a little of both, actually; a dose of jesting, with the hopes that one day I may take her advances more seriously.

Your first question is something a bit more involved, and unfortunately I must leave to address some more pressing matters. I will give it some thought, and share my experiences with you at a later time.

One question continues to puzzle me. As a Priestess of the Dawnflower, you may be able to shed some light on it.

How can you reconcile the widespread practice of slavery in both Qadira and Katapesh with an equilly widespread church of Sarenrae?

I cannot...this is a larger issue that one humble devoted follower of the Everlight cannot change alone. It is as it was and has been for hundreds of years. It is a social caste, essentially.

I can only say that I, myself, would hold no slaves. My travels to other lands has shown me the value of freedom to all peoples. As a priestess of the Dawnflower, I would only interfere with this issue if an owner were subjecting his slaves to evil or violence.

Also, I suspect this subject will stir up the stirges' nests, so I consider this subject beyond the scope of questioning here. This particular discussion is closed.

I will answer what seems to be a series of "what-if" scenarios, simply.

While it is an interesting exercise to consider what I would do under certain stressful situations, I must answer that I would do what what necessary in that moment. Sarenrae would guide me to the outcome She requires. Also, the actions of my companions would be unpredictable enough that there would likely be an entirely DIFFERENT approach that any of the alternatives you list.

I will humor you, though. Regarding the merchants...are their acts of evil before, after, or during their acts of helping the local region? This makes all the difference. If before, I would interpret their helping the region as their repentance. If during, then I would surmise that their acts of good are merely a "front" for their greater evils. Or something more sinister.

The slave fighter pit scenario....far too many unspoken factors. I suspect Valeros would want to infiltrate and stage a rebellion. I would do whatever was practical.

Hey-YA! There! (^_^)

So's jus'a couple o' questions.

Doesn't it get kind'a hot wearin' all'a them scarves an' silks an' head bands an' robes an' armor an' stuffs?

If'n ye were t' be wearin' a hat, t'other than th' hat whut ye're wearin' at th' moment o' course, whut sort'a hat would it be whut ye'd want t' be wearin'?

Whut's ye're favouritest weapon? An' are ye mainly a 'Lefty', a 'Righty' or are ye real nimble an' able t' do both o 'em sides at th' same time, sort o' thing?

Much cheers t' ye an' ours! (^_^)

Curious...I am not heard this dialect of elven speech. Merisiel, is this one of those "country cousins" you refer to?

Or perhaps if you'd finish the hunk of mutton in your mouth...

To address your superfluous questions...
The fabric is a special weave designed for desert travel; it is the chain mail beneath that is stifling at times. That's what endure elements is for, until a ring of endure elements was purchased.

Much attention is being paid to my helm...it was a simple purchase in the markets of Katheer. It is a fine helm. I suppose if I came into the possession of some helm or headband that gave me additional advantages, I would wear it. I am practical if anything....

My sword-arm is my right. The art depictions of this are correct...for once.

I think you missed my question...

I did not. You missed MY first post....

Merisiel is a puzzle to me.

Just let me know and I can help you put all my pieces together.

I have already done this a countless number of times, Merisiel. I am quite familiar with putting you back together. You really should learn how to avoid being hacked to bits.

Dear Kyra,

What are your views on the following religions (even though the dawnflower is the true way bless her holy light).

1) Shelyn
2) Cayden Cilean
3) Erastil

Thank you for your wisdom in advance.

1) The Eternal Rose is a strange way to me. I appreciate art, beauty, and love, really I do, but it always seems to me that the followers of Shelyn I've encountered are too focused on making everything beautiful and loved. It's distracting sometimes.

2) Valeros goes on and on about his Hero. I agree with the free-spirited nature, but it is a reckless approach to life. Any backtalk from Valeros about how his god is better than my goddess is quickly ended when I remind him which one heals him more regularly.

3) I admire Erastil's followers...focused on home and hearth, on family. I am not much of a country woman, but I certain enjoy the natural beauty of this world.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to answer our questions Priestess of Sarenrae. You are an inspiration to all those around you.

As a fellow worshiper of the Dawnflower, I have oftentimes came across irredeemable evils that were beyond my companion and I’s abilities to deal with in the most satisfactory manner (by that I mean burn them to a crisp with the holy fire of Sarenrae). What is your approach to dealing with such evils that are too dangerous to at least deal with immediately?

What would you consider to be your proudest moment?

What is the greatest evil you have vanquished (or helped at any rate. I know I oftentimes spend much a battle just trying to keep my companions in one piece with my healing rather then directly fighting in the melee)?

Evil that cannot be defeated? Valeros often says "Live to fight another day." It is true. I add them to my list. I do not forget. And I at least try to hinder their evil schemes as much as I can. It is all Sarenrae asks for...to try.

Your last two questions are one in the same to me....Defeating Karzoug, and saving Varisia from a truly evil fate. And returning to Sandpoint to watch ordinary people go about their normal lives, never knowing how close they were to losing even that. Also, knowing that we four, as a team, worked together to overcome evil. Lifelong friends were gained.

A long-winded, evil diatribe...twice

Seriously, Smagnavast? You are expecting me lend you some "Helpful Hints" on how to remove stains of the innocent from your carpets???

Very well....I have an answer for you:

Seebo Marnig...you have a bit of unsightly spittle on your lips.

I am curious...one hand on scimitar hilt, one hand on holy symbol...are you part of a group of followers of the Rough Beast?

Because I'd certainly like to meet them....draws scimitar which bursts into flame

So Merisiel and Valeros annoy you so much...do you see or enjoy any traits about them?

Are you the type that tries to look for the good in all creature?

Your words of wisdom are welcomed.

Since I seem to have expressed my frustrations about these two often enough...

Valeros is a brave soul. I often feel like he's showing off his bravado for the benefit of us women he travels with, but I believe that's just who he is. He's having fun, enjoying life. Valeros has stepped between me and harm many times, and his actions often give me that extra moment to make a difference. I count him as a good friend. He is also a fine specimen of manhood (which he is constantly attempting to preserve with alcohol).

Merisiel is a puzzle to me. Where most elves take a long view look at life, she lives constantly in the moment. That moment seemingly 2 minutes in time. Impulsive? Yes. Will that get her killed? Probably. I try my best to keep her alive, though. And Merisiel is ALIVE. It is the trait I admire most in her.

Lastly, YES....I am the type that tries to look for the good in all creatures. Except Undead. And devils and demons.

I fear that my abruptness has given many of you a misconception of my feelings towards my companions.

I do not dislike Merisiel. Nor Valeros. Nor Ezren. Nor Seoni. There are times, however, that their actions are selfish, or mindless, and the result is harmful. THAT is what I dislike.

As a faithful follower of the Everlight, I must strive to find the good in all. Human, halfling, gnome, elf...it matters not. But, one must choose to be and do good.

Some creatures are irredeemable, evil to the very core of their being. They must be driven from existence.

So, let us put this "who do you like, dislike" nonsense behind us.

I often find myself fulfilling clerical duties (because no one has heard that one before). As a holy warrior of an allied faith, I must ask this. What is your favorite battle prayer?

You, Sarenrae, you are the light of everything.

Your glare reaches down to the abyss
So that monsters of the deep behold your light. . . .
You destroy the horns of a scheming villain,
Your weapon will strike at him, and there will be none to save him.
My goddess, the universe longs for your light. . . .
Which are the mountains not clothed with your beams?
Which are the regions not warmed by the brightness of your light?
Brightener of gloom, illuminator of darkness,
Dispeller of darkness, illuminator of the broad earth.

I am glad of hearing the voice of this strange and peculiar case of mortals called cleric.

I wonder what do you think about Damiel, Seoni, Seltyel and Feiya.

What about Ezren ? I wonder if you share some philosophical enlightening discussion ?

By the way, Do you feel fear ? And what do you fear ?

I am quite sure I should not be answering YOUR questions, evil spawn!

Hello Kyra. Thank you for gracing us with your prsence to answear our humble questions. You are truely the light of the clensing fire.

If you have the time to answear these question I would be most appricative.

1) How did you find your faith in Sarenrae?

2) what do you think of Calistria?

3) Have you ever felt there is a moment where you felt your goddess's aid more than just spells?

4) Have you faith ever been tested...and how did you find the strength to rsist?

Thank you again for taking the time to answear these questions.

1) I am told that if you click on my name, much of my story is told there.

2) I think Calistria is the perfect choice of goddess for Merisiel.

3) Yes, there have been moments. Those moments touch my soul and strengthen my faith.

4) My faith is tested each and every day. I know you desire some harrowing tale, but honestly putting up with Valeros and Merisiel on a day-to-day basis...very trying.

Is the taboo against lying the most challenging aspect of being a cleric of Sarenrae?

The Sarenraean cleric in our CotCT game seems to have wrestled with that more than anything else, whether to ensure the safety of others or to spare others pain, but he's managed to stay honest as hard as it is.

Also, how do you feel about Alahazra possibly lumping Sarenrae and Asmodeus together in the same pantheistic category?

Some feel that they must be completely honest...(shrug) I prefer bluntness. The Dawnflower does not say that one cannot lie...it is the INTENT of the lie that is of question here. If for selfish or evil reasons...then it should not be told.

Alahazra is a fascinating person. She has stated her thoughts. I disagree. It moves no further.
