This thread is intended for adventurers to roleplay when they visit with the followers of Baudh. Players may ONLY post to this thread while the character they are speaking as is in town (obviously). Occasionally, NPCs may share information in this thread as well if they happen to be privy to something of interest and think it worth sharing.
The first temple to the Gods build in the town of Gaul, this structure is one of the largest in the town but still humble by the standards of southern cities. Made of imported stone and with benches of polished southern yarwood, its tall ceilings and tapestries invoke the feeling of civilization, as if the southern kingdoms were not far away at all.
The Bishop of the Archduchy is Keelan the White, an elderly man with papery, dry skin but stern, willful eyes. He is served by Acolyte Gvene and Acolyte Zyneste who tend to those who enter.

(This is a method of Personal Tribute - an item can be placed in one's own honor or the honor of another. If the honoree is alive, it will award an amount of XP determined by the DM. If the honoree is dead, it awards to the giver and the honoree's next PC as a memorial.)
- 50gp - Detect Magic: For this modest fee, a clergyman will Detect Magic on a group of items for a Lawful individual, identifying which are imbued and which are created.
- Food and Housing: Clerics and sworn devotees are provided space within the clerical cells; spare rooms with simple comforts for prayer and meditation. (Free private room) They may also share in communal meals of simple fare with other priests. (Normal meals; roleplay with each other)
Faithful townsfolk are permitted to visit the vault for inspiration, looking upon the tombs and sealed cases which memorialize the people buried and items displayed there.
It is a fine piece of stone work and craftsmanship which may be found at the end of the 'Lovers Lane' in a snug tree covered grotto behind the Baudhic Cathedral. The keystone of the archway displays the relic of Foxy's very gauntlet still grasping in melted fingers the charred lance with which she valiantly charged the dragon Scatha to defend the honour and maidenhoods of the maidens of Gaul. Under the archways the young suitors should lay down a gauntlet of their own and in return the maidens take a lock of their hair as a sign of their betrothal for marriage.
