[OOC] Constables of the 14th Ward

[Leif]

Have you heard from Lou yet, Scotty? I sure haven't. Guess we'd better check and see whether Raul's health/life insurance was paid up when he met his fate.

 

[Leif]

Standing Order -- There is a Standing Order from Iggy that he is to be notified ASAP in the event of a constable casualty. (It's going to take a couple of days to plan a funeral big enough for an Alpha, too!)

 

[Lou]

Raul's insurance plan is all paid up.

He was a man of simple taste, he had to be since he was taking care of his dear mother while she continued her charitable work.

Raul didn't even spend his share of the last treasure. He was saving it in hope of buying some better magic items to boost his armor class.

 

[Leif]

Did Raul, being the ascetic that he was, leave instructions for a simple funeral and a very basic headstone as marker? That was part of the paperwork when he was hired on to the constabulary.

What do you think, Scotty? Iggy wouldn't abide by that would he? I mean, come on! This is a ALPHA! There's got to be a procession that stretches all the way across the 14th, several dozen mourners, and the declaration of a holiday, right?

 

[Lou]

Raul's instructions would be to be raised if possible, and if not, then a simple service with a simple burial as typical for a monk of the Undying Way, or, if necessary, at the city cemetery in the elven section.

 

[Leif]

Typically, Monks of the Undying Way are cremated, and the ashes scattered in whatever area of the city was nearest to the deceased's heart. Of course, a small piece of the cadaver is retained (usually the tip of a finger) to make a Resurrection possible, should that become a necessity at some future time.

Don't worry, though, this won't be done immediately, for sure. Generally only after a reasonable time for a Raise Dead to be performed has elapsed with no such raising occurring.

What did you mean, "in the city cemetery's elven section if necessary?"

 

[Leif]

Summerling Wood Elven Lore

Incidentally, there is no section of any cemetery in Lauralie Summerhome where the Summerling Wood Elves are buried. Their elders, when they juidge that their time is nearing and will soon come, patiently await the next migration of the Summerlings, and then, usually, they are buried somewhere along the path of the journey in some secluded, wooded bower.

 

[Lou]

Just in case the Undying Way didn't publicly have a burial spot or place for urns. You know, because the monks are supposed to be undying....

Raul is half- Mountain Elf.

No, My Son, the MONKS aren't "undying." The WAY is UNDYING!

 

[Leif]

Hey, Scotty, did you ever check anymore about a place in Memphis that can make us some LCA t-shirts? We never did settle on a final design, either.
