John Kretzer wrote: I know in the past you have stated your dream team of adventures that you would like to go on adventures with and hang out....so with new Iconics added to the possible list any changes to this dream team? Or additions ? (I don't see why you should limit yourself to only three other adventurers.)
Nope. No changes yet!
ShadowFighter88 wrote: Merisiel; how would you go about killing one of these guys if he came at you with a claymore? What with their backs being somewhat stab-resistant and all. Or would this be one you leave to Valeros or someone who's packing high explosives (be they mundane or magical)? With thrown daggers tossed from hiding so they stick in its eyes and blind them and then POW sneak attacks for FREE.
Rogues who only try to stab things in the back are willfully old school. Evolve with the tactics!
ulgulanoth wrote: Do you accept hugs and kisses from undead as form of bribery? What about constructs? eew
Gross. No.
Sunset wrote: Merisiel Sillvari wrote: I'm a rogue. It's absolutely my power to steal said files and let you know... but it's just as much in my power to keep those secrets to myself.
Money, hugs, and kisses are acceptable forms of bribery. Izz 'at th' proper descendin' order, like? (^_^) Nope! All equally accepted forms of bribery.
The NPC wrote: Will there ever be any novels or pathfinder tales featuring you and the other Iconics?
Also, who are your top five favored undead?
Prolly not. The novel lines are for other heroes.
And none. I don't like any undeads.
ulgulanoth wrote: Merisiel how come you're the iconic that carries the least amount of stuff? I only need what I need. Or what I snatch off my companions who carry things for me, even when they don't actually realize that's what they're doing.
John Kretzer wrote: Are you not a rogue? Is it not within your power to steal say files and lets us know what is in them?
Would you do that for money? Or hugs and kisses?
I'm a rogue. It's absolutely my power to steal said files and let you know... but it's just as much in my power to keep those secrets to myself.
Money, hugs, and kisses are acceptable forms of bribery.
Damar wrote: What would you do if you're friends thought you were dead and instead of helping you they decided to loot your corpse?
And would you happen to have any extra clothing I can borrow? My"friends" stole mine.
I would realize I had fewer friends than I thought.
And no... I'm using all my clothes... (hides wardrobe)
Kelsey MacAilbert wrote: When do we get to learn about Imrijka? I have no idea.
I do like tricking people into making apparently imaginary dinosaur comments so they look kinda crazy the next time someone comes along to read the thread.
Kelsey MacAilbert wrote: Merisiel Sillvari wrote: Kelsey MacAilbert wrote: Have you ever killed a fellow iconic? Eew! No! That would be not only not nice, but tarnishing to my pristine and faultless reputation as EVERYONE'S FAVORITE! What about iconics like Alain and Seltyiel who deserve to be killed? Then someone else'll take care of them, I guess. Not interested in the bad karma that comes from murdering people who might some day in the future save your life, even if only accidentally by being in the right place at the right time to distract a monster that otherwise would have tried eating me.

But I know someone who has! Although she doesn't really like me spreading the info around or telling folks about it. Hush up, you! Did Shenshen just give away she was resurected? Kinda, yah! Hee hee hee...
(Of course... so does her entry in the NPC Guide, which spells it all out in delightfully juicy detail...)
(OH! And it's ShenSEN... no extra "H". That extra "H" belongs in a different intellectual property.)

Have you ever had a ally turn into a enemy?
Have you ever had a enemy turn into ally?
Yes.
Yes.
Yes. Can't you give us any details? I could... but I won't. THOSE FILES ARE SEALED.
(for now!)

Quatar wrote: Have you ever been killed and had to be resurrected? If so, who did it and how did it feel?
If not, has any of the other iconics been killed and resurrected?
Nope! Have not!
But I know someone who has! Although she doesn't really like me spreading the info around or telling folks about it.
Lem the Halfling wrote: Merisiel Sillvari wrote: HalfOrcHeavyMetal wrote: Assuming Valeros and Kyra were unavailable, which of the Iconics would you prefer to travel with? Hmmm... Probably Lem! He can heal, he's sneaky, and he's damn funny. And handsome! You forgot handsome. Nah. I assumed it, because it's obvious. You don't say "look at the bright sun!" or "watch out for water-breathing fish!" or "I have a pet sparrow bird!"
Because it's obvious!
You handsome devil, you!

Ashenfall wrote: Merisiel, assuming you met a benevolent, fun-loving awakened demilich chronomancer/bard, and he/she/it offered to take you on a tour through the history of Golarion, as well as it's future. What time periods would you want to travel to, and would it be to any specific areas? I don't have to worry about that, since such a thing would not be allowed to exist in any world in which I am allowed to exist. Thanks to my benevolent dinosaur overlord.

Lem the Halfling wrote: She's having some issues with a couple of hellknights.
I'm no diviner, but I predict stabbed Chelaxians in the near future.
I do go out and get into situations and shenanigans now and then, so some days I just can't post.
I'm not ignoring folks! Although I do sometimes choose who I choose to reply to in catty manners, I suppose.
Damar wrote: Have you ever thought about retiring from adventuring?
Do you ever get burnt out from having to solve everyone elses problems? If so what do you do to recharge?
Has a member of a party ever annoyed you enough that you walked off a job?
Nope! Never! Too much fun! And too good at distracting me from the gloomy truth of life!
Recharging is best done by spending your loot on fun stuff and then having to go get more.
Yes.
HalfOrcHeavyMetal wrote: For some bizarre reason, your words make me think of you sliding down a rope to escape an angry mob by using your pants as a sling.
It could also be the result of not sleeping for the past 28 hours, too.
YET MORE HYPOTHETICAL SHENANIGANS!
After doing the hero-ing bit, the grateful patron offers you a choice of rewards:
A sentient, magical Rapier
A large, comfortable house in the nicer part of town
A cellar containing enough high-quality, expensive wine, mead, spirits and beer to keep every last Iconic drinking for an entire year (assuming 4 tankards/wine glasses/shot-glasses per day)
Which do you choose?
The comfy house! But only because I don't like swords you can get in arguments with.
doctor_wu wrote: Which hand do you like stabbing with more? Either or.
TheLoneCleric wrote: Ever had to get in and out of Razmirian? I've got to do a snatch and grab of an old Desnian artifact there with my team, and well being a Cleric I'm going to have issues. Any advice? Be sneaky! Have escape routes! And leave marks so they don't forget you were there and one-upped them! GET 'EM!!!!
HalfOrcHeavyMetal wrote: Do you have any idea where Kyra has gotten to these days? She's currently dealing with some church stuff down in Absalom. Something to do with Taldor and Qadira and Osiron and all that tangle of nasty.

Who be this 'Wayne Reynolds' an' be ye thinkin' o' his portrait whut he done of ye-self? (^_^)
Also, since ye be brinin' up tha' thought o' Henchfolk an' crew, like. Whut, if any, preferences does ye be havin'? I be assumin' that a young an' up an comin' Rogue would be brought un'er yer wing an' be showin' th' ropes, as well as th' tricks of th' trade?
Much cheers t' ye an' yours. (^_^) Anyone who can heal is always welcome. Anyone who has a hard time sneaking or improvising, though... meh. Especially when both happen at the same time.
HalfOrcHeavyMetal wrote: No, you fool, you've killed us all!
**************************************************************************
Have you met one of these 'Catfolk' yet? How about a Tengu?
Haven't met any catfolk.
I have met tengus before. Shensen's got a tengu buddy in fact—he's a riot!
Damar wrote: If you could replace one member of your usual adventuring party with one of your dedicated fans who would you replace and who would they be replaced by?
If it helps influence your decision I'm now a level 6 rogue and a level 7 assassin.
I wouldn't replace anyone until I saw them in action. So... I'd probably hire one of you all on as a henchie to accompany us, and then if you did well... THEN I might start thinking of a more permanent position. You'll need to get a Wayne Reynolds portrait done, of course...
I would, because...
(looks up at previous post)
DAMNIT! She's always one step ahead of me.
HalfOrcHeavyMetal wrote: YET ANOTHER HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION!
You come across a man-eating Rabbit and through shenanigans, manage to tame it. What would be your first command for said Rabbit?
Go snuggle under Ezren's beard!
Lyingbastard wrote: What's your favorite prank you've ever pulled on a teammate?
What's the worst trouble you've ever managed to get out of, and how?
Already answered the prank thing upthread.
I think I answered the other one too... although I'm not supposed to talk about that particular incident anyway...
Kelsey MacAilbert wrote: Who is Shensen? She's Chaotic Good, so she's cool, but I can't find anything else about her.
Why do you have to be Neutral and not Good? Good Merisiel would be so much cooler than Neutral Merisiel.
Because neutral's got more wiggle-room!
Shensen, in any case, is a buddy who lives down in Cheliax, where she's kinda a rabble rouser. You can find out more about her in the NPC Guide in the back...
Lyingbastard wrote: What's your favorite kind of loot?
Is there any problem that stabbing can't solve, in your experience?
Stabby stuff! And nope!

HalfOrcHeavyMetal wrote: Here's a question for you, Merisiel. You wander into a small town and find the local orphanage is run by a horrible old woman, who mistreats her charges and uses them as basic slave labour, but she's well connected and rich, and thus the powers that be in that town have their hands tied.
One influential person wants you to sneak inside and steal the deed to the orphanage so they can alter it and then kick her out, another has requested you perform an assassination on the old hag, and a third has asked for you to sneak in and spirit the children away, fearing that the old woman's connections are just too strong to defeat at this point in time.
Regardless of your choice, on your way inside the orphanage, you spot the old woman using a riding crop on a very young boy who spilled some soup on the floor.
What would you do in this situation?
That's not a question. It's a story. And a long one. And a Skyrim quest to boot. I'd go find a less complicated job and maybe pickpocet the guy before I did.
Lyingbastard wrote: What is the most unexpected thing you or one of your teammates have done in the course of an adventure?
What is the most inappropriate thing you've ever said to a teammate?
We once invaded a Chelish winery dressed as a Tian festival dragon. I was NOT the butt. That part was Harsk. He did a good job.
The most inappropriate thing I've ever said I can't say 'cause I promised Kyra that I'd not repeat that I made that comment about Sarenite corsets having the quick-release straps.
C. Nutcase wrote: Which is more annoying for your target to have: dedicated bodyguard(s), dedicated fan(s) or dedicated stalker(s)? Bodyguards!
Fans and stalkers are pushovers.
Damar wrote: Have you ever come out of a cake for entertainment purposes?
If you ever came out of a cake for Kyra, how do you think she would react? I don't see her enjoying it but I can't see her getting to mad about it either...
What super secret thing have you been working on that you wished you could share with us, your stal...I mean dedicated fans?
No, delightfully annoyed, and I can't say!

What're ye thoughts on 'at type o fashion Miss Merisiel? I don't like her ears. She had ears?
Given a choice, which would be your favoured method of travelling?
A horse-drawn gypsy caravan with the Mage's Magnificent Mansion woven into it so it's effectively a House on Wheels?
A Hippogriff or some other flying animal/magical creature?
Kyra's Flying Carpet?
Teleportation (handy for getting around customs and/or dodging areas with pest problems) Yes.
Hippogriff! No! WAIT! GRIFFON!!!!

Well, Happy Birthday then.
What kind of birthday cake do you like? Ones with BOOZE in them. Or maybe naked people. Preferably uncooked naked people. Is it creepy if I understood that to be lesbian innuendo? Probably not.

Zaister wrote: Merisiel Sillvari wrote: ulgulanoth wrote: Merisiel you do realise that Seoni is just casting "charm person" on you right? You realize I'm voluntarily failing those Will saves, right? I don't think it's actually allowed to voluntarily fail a saving throw unless the save is qualified with "(harmless)". :) Yet still... somehow... I do it anyway.
Rules are for losers and paladins and dwarves.
ulgulanoth wrote: will you be stealing any of the RPGsuperstar contestant's items this year for your own personal use? Nope. I avoid that tangled swamp of trouble and wait for the fancy refined stuff to trickle into my clutches.
Damar wrote: Any advice on how to get rid of the image that the last poster's question put in my head? Rot grub on a string. Snort it up into your left nostril (NOT your right one), wait until that particular memory "goes away," then yank the rot grub out fast. (The main risk here is, of course, that the rot grub eats the memory that you just snorted a rot grub...)
