About GM KoKyu "The spirit of a sword is influenced by the sword smith and the owners of a sword"
Shizuru:
Shizuru, Empress of Heaven, is a prominent deity throughout the vast lands of Tian Xia and among Tien immigrants to other parts of Golarion. Her portfolio includes ancestors, honor, swordplay, and the sun. She also teaches the value of devoted love even beyond death and across great distances, as she has with the moon god Tsukiyo, her lover and the Prince of the Moon. Her worship is rare in the Inner Sea region, but many who venerate her there are paladins. Ancestor’s Blade (Shizuru): You were trained by your family with a weapon passed down from a venerable ancestor. You begin play with an heirloom masterwork weapon worth up to 400 gp. You gain a +1 trait bonus on attack rolls with weapons of this type (not just your initial heirloom weapon when you smite evil. Pristine Reputation (Shizuru): You come from an especially esteemed family, religious order, school, or other group that worships Shizuru, and draw upon that tradition to maintain your identity. The first time each day that you fail a saving throw against a charm or compulsion effect, you can reroll that saving throw. If you do so, you gain a +2 trait bonus on this roll and use this result as the actual result for that saving throw. Shizuru’s Paladin Code The paladins of Shizuru are warriors who serve just lords, peacekeepers who oppose banditry, and those who advocate for honored ancestors. When great heroes fall, these dedicated paladins sometimes ritually preserve the bodies for later revivification. Their tenets include the following affirmations. • My blade will be as steady as the sun and my training will be as consistent; I shall respect what I have mastered and seek to impart this training to others. • I will honor my ancestors, who have come before me and provided for my life. • The bonds of love extend across any distance, but I will not add to the burden by separating lovers. • My personal honor ref lects on my family and my liege; I will conscientiously maintain my reputation for the sake of theirs, even on the battlefield. • As I respect the Empress of Heaven, so will I respect my sworn liege. Ring of the Clean Hands:
Aura strong transmutation; CL 9th
Steal Book Spell:
Steal Book School divination; Level bard 3, inquisitor 3, sorcerer/wizard 3, witch 3 Casting Time 1 standard action Components V, S Range touch Target one book touched Duration permanent Saving Throw Fortitude negates (object); Spell Resistance yes (object) Often used by bards, spies, and arcane scholars to steal important texts without alerting their owners, steal book allows you to copy the contents of one book, folio, scroll, or other text to a blank one of sufficient size. In doing so, the original pages are wiped blank, though any covers or binding remain unchanged. Differences in size between the original and the blank folio don’t matter, though the blank folio that the information is being transferred to must have an equal or greater amount of space (in number of pages or inches of scroll) or else any text that overflows the document is lost forever. This spell cannot transfer magical writing (such as a wizard’s spellbook or a magical scroll). At GM’s discretion, the spell can restore lost information, such as a page obscured by spill wine, text erased by magic or mundane means, or even pages lost to fire or other damage. When cast from a scroll, the beginning of the stolen text appears on the steal book scroll until you select a target book for the text to appear. The stolen text glitters and sparkles while it remains on the scroll. Stat Block:

Sent by Pazuzu to investigate Lamashtu's sudden interest in these adventurers, the Hala has sensed Rennyn's 'Haversack' and now covets the object to add to its collection... Skin the color of thunderheads and wings made for soaring through the most violent winds mark this lean, cyclopic being as a master of terrible storms. The sound of shrieking wind emanates from its mouth full of needle-sharp teeth. Hala CR 4
Stormwind Aura (Su): Halas surround themselves with a buffeting shroud of supernatural, windstorm-force winds. These winds shield a hala from any other wind effects and form a shell of breathable air around it, allowing the hala to breathe underwater. Ranged weapons and gases directed toward a hala are affected as the spell wind wall. Vengeful Wind (Su): Anytime a hala takes damage from a critical hit, a powerful blast of wind explodes forth in the direction of the attacker. This blast takes the form of a 60-foot-long gale, treated as a gust of wind spell, directed from the hala toward the opponent that scored the critical hit against it (if that creature is more than 60 feet away, the wind is aimed in its direction but doesn’t come close enough to affect it). This wind is also charged with electricity. Any creature in or that enters the area of effect must make a DC 14 Reflex save or take 3d6 points of electricity damage. The save DC is Constitution-based.

This is a sonic, mind-affecting, fear effect. Whether or not the save is successful, a creature is thereafter immune to the Sandpoint devil’s bay for 24 hours. The save DC is Charisma-based. Hellfire Breath (Su) The Sandpoint devil can unleash blasts of infernal flame in a 30-ft cone, once every 1d4 rounds (damage 6d6 fire, Reflex 20 half). Any creature that fails the save also takes a –4 penalty on attack rolls, saves, ability checks, and skill checks.
