Our party recruited 2 ncps from Ascanor, since it was no longer a safe place, and offered them to work with us as travel assistance (Quiener Steimor and Yvonne Tinzbell). After that, we also took the bleached girl and the baby from book 4 with us, and also Horace Croon and Jaleen Halrush, the apothecary (mostly because they didn't know what was going on with the skum, and to save them from retaliation from Illsmarsh people afer our party destroyed their cult, their leaders, and everything)
Sooo... Just Arriving Caliphas, our party decided to invest some cash to create a operation base, and to give all those npcs a place to be, instead of traveling with us all the time. So we bought an abandoned sanatorium in Caliphas, and restored it to create a "Charles Xavier / X-Men Like" house-institute to heal and rise the baby and the bleached girl we found at the skum tunnels.
Of course, we tributed the place to the deceased professor Lorrimor, and we are working to contact Kendra Lorrimor, who is still in Lepistad, so she can come to take of the place meanwhile our party is outside killing stuff. We may even try to contact Corvin Tergsvor (from Ascanor) to employ him as a ambassador with the Ustalav nobility. We paid for security, and we expect that the place will be economically self-sustained (We also made cool red-gold signets rings for all us, like in the fraternities!!!)
The question is... Now what?
I mean, the AP is full of interesting npcs with some sort of unfortunate past who may need a "second chance" to make thing right. Until now, we managed to solve somehow those peoples problems (we paid Kendra's living fees so she can continue her studies to work in Lepistad's university, and also managed to give "Franky" a family inside the circus gang as a invisible worker)
But the problem is that I still feel that all the project needs a greater purpose. We are starting book 5, and, sidequest and future npcs aside, I'm not sure about how to make it real and successful.
I mean, ok, we have 2 npcs who needs help and therapy and 4 more working for them. Now what? Do we start looking for more students? "Normal" people? O May be better to start spreading the word that exist a place for "forsaken", who cannot mix themselves the the superstitious people of Ustalav?
Sorry, is hard for me to translate all those doubts to english without losing their connotations. I hope is somehow enough.
So, I need ideas, or comments about what others parties did.
Thanks for reading.

I believe in Lepidstatd there is an entire hidden mongrelfolk society that exist somewhere in the dungeons of the city, and that those 2 alchemists had under control by wearing the skin of one of their leaders. You could help those people too ...
Oh, I totally forgot about the mongrelmen!!
It's a pitty that they are in Lepistad, and our base is in Caliphas. So far away... And also, the party didn't liked them so much anyway. But good point.
