Amharic might work.
Bjorkus = Amare
Dalton = Lema
Iana = Aberash
Toramin = Kelile
Rilka = Zenia
I'm ready to be done here, but I have a few questions:
1. Do we know what happens when the loop ends? Do we get shunted back into the Soul Forge?
2. Are we obligated by our contract to settle up with Panrick?
3. We came for a variety of reasons get get Calios out of here. Did we succeed?
4. Dalton needs to settle his promises with Sveng after Sveng dies. What were they?
Otherwise, I'm excited to leave this place forever.
1) You're not entirely sure, but Dalton would be able to theorize its very unlikely. In an abstract sort of way, you're just a continuation of your time remnants. Once they disappear you are simply now the originals.
2) I'm willing to handwave that.
3) Last you knew he was being kept in magma on a submerged plateau when Malose came in, after which you were shunted out of the timeline. You don't know how it effected the others in the room and/or what occurred after you were shunted out.
If you guys choose to simply wait out the rest of the time loop in an attempt to avoid any further time shenanigans, I have no problem handwaving that. You guys are experienced enough to lay low for a few weeks.
I'm quite comfortable skipping forwards and handwaving Lola. Would you like to start when we go back to the Aestheric base?
I'm good with handwaving until you've returned to the Aestherics.
As for the airship idea, even if I handwaived the enourmous cost I wouldn't be comfortable with you guys having it at this level. Will keep it in mind for the future though.
Let us advance to the Aestherics then.
What if the monstrous undead platypus was really an airship in disguise?
As far as the God goes, as long as it's cannon than the god and it's worshippers exist. The only question remains is how exactly that manifests in Erandor.

As a monstrous undead platypus that is secretly an airship.
Toramin ninja'ed me. Feel fee to correct Dalton's assumption of the tone in which the accounts were made if appropriate.
Is it too salty?
I'm trying to play up how much Toramin loathes Heff and by extension the Hand as a group. Personally, he has no thoughts on Krokar, respects Alia, has no problem with Drosil, even if Drosil acts all butt-hurt, and thinks Jasper is rude but funny. But the five of them together are just the worst. :-p
Hey you guys do whatever feels right, I was just making a light hearted jab.
Are we going to normalize wealth per level again? If so should we start providing a list for retraining, crafting, etc.
???
Also, are you going to cosign our plan in Talanor?
He's just saying that have a whole meeting planned to go over all of this.
And let's get this done:
Level up!
Yup we're skipping a level! Also the Aestherics will be giving you guys a 120K budget to spend on gear however you want.
120,000 in toto or per person?
Given our previous discussion, my plan for Ianna is to pay for the special training to get Skill Focus (Knowledge: Religion), retrain her last level to Exalted 1, and then take her next two levels in Exalted. Is this okay?
GP Costs:
5000 (Skill Focus)
350 (GP)
Also would it be possible to research a 4th level version of Sanctuary that doesn't break when hostile action is taken like how the Improved version of Invisibility does not?
In total, dang. Show them the money and they'll rob you blind :P
Yup sounds good, and you can halve the cost for training since you'll be getting it from the Aestherics (basically they don't charge for services but still need the equipment).
Hmm, I'm leaning towards no because it sounds like what could be an unbalanced spell. I'm just envisioning somebody pummeling somebody else while they stand there unable to retaliate. Also I think it goes against the entire pacifist RAI and flavor of the spell. I'm open to arguments though.
I don't disagree about it being against the RAI, but then again I think Invisibility that doesn't break is ridiculous too.
The reason I asked is because 24,000 per person actually has us below WBL for 11 level.
We are at 9th level but have the WLB of 8th level characters (33,000). 11th level characters should have (82,000).
That would leave 25,000 off of where characters our level would normally be at. Instead of a lump sum, can we do what we have done previously and just get wealth adjusted to 11 (or 9th in the case of Ianna)?
Well we're not actually supposed to count cohorts into WBL, because they're technically an extension of another character.
Cohorts gain wealth independently from the character based on their level.
But even if we divide the 120,000 by 4, it is still far less than the WBL of an 11th level character.
Man you can't even give me a "Woohoo level up!" can you?
I'm trying to get better on actually dropping loot. So for now, 120K. Final answer.
I give woohoos once I figure everything out. :-p
In this post you said her WBL goes by her character level instead of how cohorts normally do it.
Is that still true?
I'll take my portion of the 120,000 and be happy, but I'm really unclear how Ianna should fit into that sum given how we have treated her in the past.
1. Do we divide the sum by 5 or 4?
2. Is her money now taken out of Toramin's? (which would be both new and suck)
3. How should we handle her wealth if it is separate?
Also Woohoo!
The party is given 120K. You can spend it however you see fit.
ok, guys, how should we divide it up? I recuse myself from voting on this matter because I have clear material interests at stake.
On the plus side of the new way we are handling wealth, we can actually use the loot we stripped off of Calios instead of having to trash it all when our WBL is normalized.
I suggest that we sell some off to Malan. If he doesn't want the evil items, we can see if a nice cult wants to buy them for redemption or destruction. But we should keep the amulet of NA and ring of Protection (both +3).
Either Bjorkus or Toramin could get a lot of benefit from them. How should we divvy them up?
Omen, do you think this would also improve the DC of Adoration?
Oh that reminds me,
If you're interested in turning Calios's bracers to the side of good, then I have decided you can do the research at 1/2 price and 1/2 time, at a DC of 10 lower, and once the research is done the bracers can be converted with a zero-cost ritual.
Ianna: RAW, no. It clearly says spell only. But between the flavor and my opinion of balance levels, I'm comfortable houseruling to say that it works for adoration.
Two levels? It looks like disguises have a secret experience perk associated with them!
Totally not expecting this. I was hoping to resolve a bit of happenings on Dalton's end before a fork in the road from level 10 - level 11, but if retraining is allowed, this won't pose a big roadblock.
Awesome, thanks!
And I would love to redeem the bracelet.
If I recall, we roll for HP in this game. Otherwise, I would take average:
We do average + 1 or one can choose to roll.
We do average + 1 or one can choose to roll.
No clue why I chose to roll for the rest of them then. Looking at Dalton's sheet, it seems I did do rolling.
Regarding the money, Dalton may be able to offer some options to you all and/or a crafting discount. However, I need to see Omen's response to the previous post first.
In fairness to the group (Omen included), I feel I should highlight:
Primal Surge (Su)Whenever a primalist triggers a primal magic event, she rolls the percentile dice twice to determine the event that occurs and chooses which one of the two possible events occurs. She becomes resistant to the effects of primal magic events. Anytime an event would affect her, the GM rolls 1d20 + the event’s CR against a DC of 11 + her wizard level. If this roll fails, the event does not affect her, similar to a creature with spell resistance ignoring magical effects with an SR check. If the primal magic event is duplicating the effects of a spell that does not allow spell resistance (such as create pit), this resistance does not apply.
Cool. Ianna can craft Wondrous Items.

Bag of Holding IV possibly?
Anything under the sun.
Dalton, if you were asking about retraining, Omen answered that the Aestherics do half priced retraining.
Bjorkus will nab the ring of protection +3.
That leaves his ring of protection +1 is someone doesn't mind the hand-me-down. Otherwise I'll just sell it.
Retraining is almost always allowed. Message me if it's a complex situation and we can hash it out.
Yes, as long as its not something really out of the ordinary, retraining is half price with the Aestherics.
In the interest of simplicity (and since Ianna contributes just as much as anyone else), I suggest we just split the gold five ways.
I'd like to grab that headband of charisma too but Bjorkus gets a lot of mileage out of Targ's headband. I suppose he could just pay the difference to get Ianna to combine them.
The unfettered shirt should go to Rilka or Dalton. Ianna's already got some solid defenses to keep enemies from getting grabby.
The iron circlet might be good for Toramin so he can have long-term protection from detecting his paladinness.
Here's my suggestions.
+1 unholy impervious glamered greataxe: Sold.
+1 dastard heavy fortification spiked full plate: Sold.
Unfettered Shirt: Dalton or Rilka (leaning more toward Dalton since Rilka has some escape options already).
Iron Circlet of Guarded Souls: Toramin.
Belt of Giant Strength +4: Rilka.
Headband of Alluring Charisma +4: Bjorkus.
Amulet of Natural Armor +3: Toramin.
Ring of Protection +3: Bjorkus.
Demonspike Pauldrons: Sold.
Bracelet of Cruelty: Redeemed and given to Toramin.
Ring of the Servant: Sold? Potentially Rilka since she seems to get a good deal of solo missions and it'd help with checking in on her.
That all seems wise to me, but the ring of the servant got destroyed when I tossed it in the lava.
To be clear, you guys don't have the ring paired with the ring of the servant.
Ah, disregard then.
Also that. :P
Omen, how are you ruling the effects of Move Earth targeting ground underneath a structure larger than the affected area. For example, a 50' x 50' structure with a 25' x 25' ring missing under one of its corners.
