Jimmy followed Gwen and Fiona
The whole temple looks like a mess. With all the kids bustling around, the workbenches that don't belong here and the missing glass in the windows. Not to mention anything the missing paraphernalia that usually belong to a shrine or temple.
Fiona stands in front of the altar in the center of the main aisle. She closes her eyes to block out the diversions and breathes in the spirit of this sacred building.
Fiona is baffled. She stares at the ball in her hand. Turning around she stares at Gwenhwyfar instead.
"Is everything alright?" Gwenhwyfar asks.
"No. I don't think so." Fiona replies.
"I think I got a vision what this temple should look like... and this crystal ball."
"That's cool! But what's not alright with that?" Gwenhwyfar asks.
"I'm used to Sarenrae answering my prayers. But usually it is much less spectacular."
"And there is quite the difference between my vision and what it looks now." Fiona answers looking around once more.
"That's no problem. As soon as the orphanage is built we have all of that out of here and can make a real temple out of it." Gwenhwyfar replies. "But tell me. What should it look like?"
"Hello? Are you listening? Me getting visions is not everyday stuff you just take note of and go on with business as usual. Why me? Why not you? You wanted to reactivate this temple!" Fiona says irritated.
"Why you? Maybe because you're here and you're a follower of Sarenrae!" Gwenhwyfar replies. "Why not me is another thing. But don't expect me to give you an answer. I'm asking myself that question for quite some time you know." she says now irritated herself.
"Oh, Gwenhwyfar. I'm so sorry." Fiona says and takes Gwenhwyfar in her arms.
"It's ok." Gwenhwyfar replies wiping a tear from her eye. "But you have to admit that I'm right. You're the one to make this building a temple again."
"No, no, no. I will tell you what I saw and you will build that. You're the one with the money and all." Fiona objects.
"But you stay here! I won't let you go to Sandpoint and leave me alone with that project."
"You can get me there when you need me and bring me back afterwards. I won't simply leave my home and my place at the Kathedral." Fiona states.
"You can struggle all you want. You'll be the head of this temple." Gwenhwyfar thinks and says "Sure, that's how we'll do it."
"But we have to check with Mrs. Heidmarch about the money. If she doesn't support us here then we are out of luck. Let's go and see her. Maybe we can already start with the planning and ordering stuff for the temple."
With that she grabs her mum and Jimmy and with a word all stand in front of the manor house entrance.
Margaret opens and leads the guests into the office of Mrs. Heidmarch.
"Hello. To what do I owe the honor of your visit?" Mrs. Heidmarch greats the group.
"Hello Mrs. Heidmarch. I brought my mum." Gwenhwyfar explains. "We'd like to know if you already decided if we can have the loan to start the work at the orphanage and the temple."
"Hello, I'm Fiona Samsley." Fiona introduces herself.
"Hello Mrs. Samsley." Mrs. Heidmarch replies.
To Gwenhwyfar and Jimmy she explains "I did some reading in our statutes and decided to cash that in as a special form of resurrection with the Pathfinder Society. That's no charity thing. Your achievements are listed and what you cost the Society is counted against the benefits you can receive. But for now this means I can give you 6.500gold after subtracting the cost you couldn't cover yourself at the temple of Abadar. Is that enough for now or do you need a loan on top of that."
"I don't know. Jimmy, how much money do we need for all that?" Gwenhwyfar asks.
"We need about 5000 gold to cover everything for the building." Jimmy replies, "So it seems you are more than able to help us."
"And most of the temple is already there. We could add thousands of gold for golden suns and such to make it great but to make it a sacred place again needs much less." Gwenhwyfar calculates quickly. "Yay. That means we can start looking for a representative version of The Birth of Light and Truth. And candle stands. And what else would we need?" Gwenhwyfar asks her mum.
"We can talk about that later." Fiona suggests. "No need to bother Mrs. Heidmarch with the details."
Mrs. Heidmarch takes the pouch with the 650pp out of the top drawer of her desk and hands it to Gwenhwyfar "I wish you the best for your enterprise. It has been a long time since someone seriously tried to make things better in Underbridge."
"Thank you!"
"We have something to do now. Good bye!" Gwenhwyfar says and drags her mum out of the office.
"It was a pleasure to meet you. Good bye." Fiona says before following Gwenhwyfar.
"Thank you once again." Jimmy says following the other two
Gwenhwyfar opens the pouch and counts 150pp out in her own pouch. Handing the rest to Jimmy she says "That's the money for the orphanage. You can come along if you want but mum and I are going to buy temple stuff now."
"That's crazy. You throw thousands of gold around as if it were peanuts. It takes me years to earn that amount of money with my work at the cathedral." Fiona states.
"Wanna be part of that crazy? Stay here! And I bet it is more interesting and you could do more good than the occasional farmer that got some broken ribs because of a bull gone wild." Gwenhwyfar replies with a wide smile.
"We're going to change a whole district!"
Meanwhile in the guest house

"I'm bored. Do you think we could host a burning man festival here on the manor grounds?" Abomentolor asks.
"I'm not exactly sure under what definition of keeping a low profile that would fly." Tauriell replies. "You can open the hearth in the kitchen put another log on and watch the flames there. If you want something bigger we would probably have to leave town."
"Meh. Can we play with our clock tower then? I died and I'm back to life. In that time they could have finished it, don't they?"
"Where is that useless babysitter of mine. Doesn't she have some connections to beer? I need beer at my tavern and bar equipment and such. If I have her around my neck she could as well do something useful." Abomentolor grumps.
"As you're able to walk on your own again we can check with Mrs. Heidmarch. And if we put some sack over you and a hat on top you can go and visit the Shadow Clock. This time in company of your Babysitter."
"I would walk a different route to avoid that someone recognises you because of me."
"Or we put a bonnet on you and put you in a stroller. That would be really cute." Tauriell jokes.
Abomentolor laughs. "That's ridiculous. Let's do that."
"Are you serious?" Tauriell asks with wide eyes.
"Getting wheeled around beats walking by far and I don't see another way to get my babysitter to do that. And I'm not fond of being put in a sack." Abomentolor explains and gets up. He leads the way to the door of the manor house. He knocks.
Margaret opens and greets them "Good morning Mr. Goblinburner., Tauriell."
"Good morning. I need a stroller, a bonnet and my half-elf babysitter. Do you have that?" Abomentolor gets to the point directly.
"What would you need that for?" Margaret asks looking over her glasses.
"As a disguise!" Abomentolor replies conspiratorially.
"You want to shove a stroller through town and disguise yourself as a woman?" Margaret asks.
"Nope. Guess again." Abomentolor replies with a smile.
"I'll see what I can do." Margaret replies and closes the door.
"Why don't we get invited to tea while we wait?" Abomentolor asks Tauriell.
"Must be your charming demeanour." Tauriell replies. "I'm going to test that later without you."
The door opens again and Faerveren comes out. "Oh what a joy. It's you!" she says overenthusiastic. "What is that bonnet for that Margaret gave me? I hope you don't expect me to wear that!"
