I do wonder if there'll be a clash about Elef though, between Mercy and Vengeance.

You've very good at giving me ideas, you know? Hadn't planned for it, but now I'll think of something along those lines.

Also, per that, I'm going to need Cherish to get hurt in your next post. Nothing major, just like a cut or something, so long as there's a small amount of blood, I think a few drops would be plenty to get the ball rolling. Maybe while digging in the sand she accidentally finds a dagger and gets poked by it on accident, not even deep enough to scar.

Void's view on Mercy is definitely positive currently. She sees a selfless creature, who have been granted gifts to continue to go that route, and help others. Yes she will have to rely on other means to help herself to an extend, but it still seems very doable, and she's giving a good impression to Void. 

Yeah I ended up going with the idea that the gifts of Mercy are earned through sacrifice, and sacrifice not done with the idea that the gift would be earned as a result. The gifts that Llambda got as an example, you give away your money, expecting nothing in return, and would be willing to continue giving your own money away, so you're worthy of Mercy's coinpouch so you can keep giving away money without bankrupting yourself. But you can't then use the pouch to profit yourself.

Stuff like that, in essence Mercy rewards sacrifice, first being the sacrifice of ego. The servents of Mercy act solely for the benefit of others, and their gifts are only able to benefit others and are given to those who would have sacrificed those items anyway, but now are able to continue for much longer.

How to integrate them into things though... I'm not sure. She's gotten gifts of selflessness, so she could probably help those in town who are down on her luck, like the performers I've used were.

I'm not planning to have her as a constant character, or I wasn't, but considering your idea above it looks like she'll be present for this arc.
