I knew I was agnostic for a reason...

Was Kyra around when you got by all those?

Do you ever wish you didn't have to censor your self?

What is it about dwarves that bother you so much?

You're missing a word, it looks like... but for some of them, yes.

Yes. Often.

The hair. And the noise. And the smell. And the fact that booze makes all three of those objectionable qualities even worse.

Ok...you have to elaborate on the brothel capture...and the drow...please?

Not on these family-friendly boards I can't. The Puritanical Gamer League would march on Paizo with pitchforks and torches.

em, brothel? that sounds... yea, who of all the things that have captured you where the worst?

The dwarves. Eeew. Troglodytes were a close second.

I can indeed forgive you!

I... ummm... I meant to get caught. It was... ummm... it was part of an infiltration. I had to "sneak" in by getting caught, and then I would escape from within and snoop around. Yup! That's how that happened!

Oh thank you for the forgivness.

That is what I figured happen by the way. I was only slightly concerned that you would be captured by orcs.

Who have you been captured by in the past? Meaning of course allowed to capture you.

If I got another one, I'd be a LOT more frivolous with them since apparently rings of wishes are all over the place.

I am sorry...I did not mean to ask a repeat question. Can you forgive me?

Ok I got another question there is a picture in the PF Corebook that shows you in a jail cell in rags reaching thur the bars to pick pocket the keys off a orc guard. What is the story behind this picture? And how did you get captured by orcs?

I can indeed forgive you!

do the iconics partake in feasts at the end of an adventure?

Depends if we're hungry or not.

whats worse to fight, fire giants or stone giants?

Fire giants by far. They're meaner, look more like dwarves, and hit harder.

It might just be that the stone giants are jealous of Valeros because he gets to roll in the hay with Merisiel.

Ahem.

Who says Valeros ever got to roll in the hay with me? I certainly never said that!

what was the whole thing with you and Valeros and the stone giants? did you steal something from them or was it Valeros who insulted them?

We get into fights with stone giants all the time. You'll have to be a little more specific about the "whole thing" in particular you're talking about.

If you had a ring of 3 wishes what would you wish for?

I'm pretty sure I already answered this upthread.

If I got another one, I'd be a LOT more frivolous with them since apparently rings of wishes are all over the place.

Do you have a theme-song?

Nope. But now I want one.

Do you find answering these questions fun or annoying?

I was reading through the Carrion Crown AP today and found a picture of you covered in spiders, how did you feel at that exact moment?

Are you sometimes surprised at what a large following of people you have?

Do you feel your is less than, greater than, or the same as the other iconics?

Were you able to sample any more pie today?

If you could have any one kind of food for the rest of your life what would it be?

If there were to be another earthfall what would be the last thing you would do before impact?

Both! Depends who's asking them!

Pretty icky.

Nope!

Um... my what now?

Yup!

Salmon! Maybe coffee.

I plan on surviving the next Earthfall.

Which character from the Rivals Guide would you best get along with? Which one you wouldn't mind sticking at least one knife in (painfully)?

I don't know them well enough... but since they're in a book called "Rivals" guide I'd guess:

None of them. All of them.

So, elven housing. I heard it burns good. Can I try?

Elven housing burns worse than human housing, actually, since we know how to make houses that don't burn. Green wood, crystal, and magic are a pretty non-flammable combination.

What burns REALLY well are goblin houses.

Do you know how lucky you are to not have siblings...at least that you know of? I have two brothers and they are constantly getting in trouble.

Have you ever traveled with a druid? If so what kind of animal companion did they have? I personally have a wolf but the people of Falcon's Hollow(where I'm from) don't really like him to much...

Could you possibly teach me how to handle a dagger?

Yup; I've done a lot of traveling with a druid—Lini. Her animal companion is a snow leopard.

I could indeed teach you how to use a dagger. You'll have to promise not to get mad at me when you stab yourself accidentally though.

Which Rogue Archetype are you, if I may be so bold?

I don't have any of those silly archetypes. I'm an iconic. Iconics don't have archetypes. They can certainly INSPIRE them though.

what's your take on intelligent head gear?

Weird. I prefer my own brain to be the only thing on my head.

What was that thing you and Seltyiel were fighting in the Ultimate Magic introduction? How did the fight go? Did your stabbing or Seltyiel's spells prove more effective?

Also, looking at the cover, did you notice that Alahazra kind of resembles Kyra, but with a lot less clothes?

That was a monster in Carrion Hill. For those interested in what it was exactly...

Just thought I would drop in here with a few more questions. I'm going to be gone most of the day as I am off to defend the world against the Raise of the Rune Lords. We're on the final chapter so time is of the essence and we spent about 2 months crafting so...we're already behind the eight ball.

Out of all the new Iconics introduced this year who is the most fun to party with?

How is your search for the best Pie in Golorian going? Find any pie that should be avoided?

Out of the people in this thread who would you most like to send a box of live insects to?

Any advice for a party that is getting ready to face the last challenge in Raise of the Rune Lords?

Probably the gunslinger.

Still searching. It's gonna be a while.

Whoever it was what first mentioned werebats. He she it is lucky I forgot who he she it is.

Bring lots of healing!

Whut abouts that t'other feller? Th' one wi' th' white hair who's all-a-ways shown flingin' fire an' stuff about?

...Or..is it because o' th' all-a-ways flingin' o' th' fire an' stuffs abouts....? >_>

He's a half-elf. You asked about elves.

In your opinion, what are the main differences between an Elven outlook on life and the outlooks other races seem to possess? Just as a general observation, of course.

As your fame is growing, do you enjoy being recognized by the public, or do you find it a negative experience?

What's your favorite method of off-hours relaxation?

The other races are always in a rush and miss too much fun.

Depends what I'm up to. If I'm looking for attention, it's cool. If I'm not, it's annoying.

Exploring new stuff! Be the "new stuff" a new tavern or a new forest or a new knife or whatever. AKA: I don't really have off-hours.

Have ye never thought o' teamin' up wi' a couple more Elfs?

Then, ye'd have some t'othre folks who'd be rilly gettin' th' gist o' yer humour! (^_^)

what is the best prank you pulled on Valeros?

Probably the time when he thought I was inviting him into that mossy hollow tree for a roll in the moss and he went in there and there was a decapus in there making a Merisiel illusion and then I tricked Seoni into going in there to look for her skink and she caught Valeros and the decapus together.

I'm still laughing about that one. Hee hee hee...

I've been trying to restrain myself from asking but .... what exactly is a Decapus?

Also, has there ever been an encounter you've had where you were simply stunned into silence and/or inaction? Recently had one myself, walked into the room of a companion to find the Kobold bard and a Halfling maid engaged in dubious acts. Was very much a head-tilting "what." moment for me.

Also I will never be able to eat flan, strawberry jam or fresh cream again.

That other guy stole my answer about the decapus.

Nope!

Yup!

If you found a baby Dragon (of whatever type), what would you do with it?

Raise it as my minion!

Try not to do to much research on those pies, of your built anything like me they will go right to your thighs.

From one female to another what do you do to keep your self in such great shape?

Constant mayhem! It's great for keeping in shape.

who sells the best pie in golarion?

I'm still researching that. I'll get back to you.

Merisiel, what do you think of the Guild of Querying Physicks? which iconic do you think would join said guild?

Nothing. Never heard o' them. Are they pro or con werebats?

I have a present for you Merisiel. Its a stuffed Kyra doll and when you squeeze it it will talk. Took me a lot of time to make so try to be careful with it okay.

HA! Also, weird. Also, filled with practical joke fuel.

have you ever seen Lini and Amiri fight each other? if so who won?

Nope. They actually get along pretty well.

How do you deal with the crushing realization that your going to possibly out live everyone you love and care about?

When your current band of adventurers are dead are you going to find another one or are you going to go solo?

I've already had to deal with that a lot. How do I deal with it? Bottling up the sadness and despair and putting on a brave and vibrant front so that folks think I'm a lot more happy than I actually am, I suppose?

I tend to go solo for a few years or a decade or so once my latest crop of friends dies of old age.

More cost-effective anti-werebat devices, for one.

Also booze. and knives. and bling.

What sort of devices?

+3 returning humanoid (shapechanger) bane flaming burst daggers for one.

A wolvesbane golem with belladonna poisoned fangs for another.

Also, a big can of Billiver Biliven's Batbegone.

My offer still stands and I won't cost you nearly 240,000 but I understand your reluctance, trouble does seem to follow me where ever I go. Oh you'll be pleased to know I'm about half done with Kyra's dress but sadly most of the poppies died. Now I just need to figure out how to get close enough to get the dress on and the flows in her hair with out her blasting me with her channel energy.

Did you ever manage to pull that prank with the spell book?

Nope. Got distracted. You hideous poppy killer, you.

*gives Merisiel an amulet of antipathy keyed to bats and were-bats*

Hey where did you get the 240,00 gold for that. I would not trust that undead things magiuc...it will probably attract bats.

Here I am trying to reinvent a spell from a older times...and people are stealing my ideas.

Merisiel can you stab them for me, please.

Can't. Busy spending money.

*gives Merisiel an amulet of antipathy keyed to bats and were-bats*

!!!!

(immediately runs off to pawn amulet, hopes its not cursed, or if it is, that its curse won't activate before she sells it for Big Bucks)

Wouldn't an Amulet that generates an Antipathy effect keyed to Bats and then again to Were-Bats be most effective? It's not that it does them any long-term harm, just makes it impossible for them to get anywhere near the wearer.

Assuming you get a Wizard to craft it, that's ... a barrier effective to a range of 60 feet radius against either Bats or Were-Bats. All for the low price of 240,000 gold for 24 hours, 7 days a week bat-proof were-bat-free airspace.

Unless one is a Cleric or some other form of caster rocking a high Wisdom Score and high saves. Then you're screwed because NOW it's really pissed off ....

If I had that kind of money to throw around, I wouldn't be wasting it on an amulet. There's so much more interesting things out there to spend money on!

How often does Seltyiel wash his hair? Looks kinda greasy.

Why doesn't Damiel have a Victorian frock like all the other alchemists?

Which of the iconics is the most fun to pull pranks on?

Which is the riskiest to pull pranks on?

You still haven't told me what kind of runeforged weapon you made. Tell me about your sins!

Seltyiel washes his hair plenty. At least once a day. Sometimes twice a day. He's actually really pretty devoted to, umm... grooming, I guess is the word.

What's a Victorian?

Valeros.

Amiri.

They're not sins if you have fun doing them! It was a rapier, in any case. A SEXY rapier.

Does Golarion have an equivalent to cola?

Nope. Maybe. Probably not. Perhaps... Ummm... what's a cola?

Greetings fellow forlorn elf if you have the time would you answer these questions please.

Being a half elf like me did you also get bullied as a child? If so how did you deal with it?

What is it you find so attractive about Kyra? I mean she's just another mean old human. Is it that she keeps you alive?

Though we have just met would you consider adventuring with me instead of Kyra? We are sisters of a sort.

I'm not a half-elf, so I can't really say much from that standpoint. I didn't get bullied much as a kid, in any event, because I learned pretty quickly that bullies leave folks alone when folks stab or seek public and humiliating forms of revenge in retaliation for bullying.

That she keeps me alive is one thing. That she's so secretive about some elements of her past is another. That she always wears that bulky shapeless chain mail is a third. That she's got a super sexy accent is a forth. That she comes from a land and a culture I don't know much about is a fifth. She's also got really pretty eyes. Oh, and she's surprisingly and delightfully stabby with that scimitar, especially considering that she supposedly worships a goddess of peace. More like a goddess of PIECES left over after a fight with undead! Ha!

I've kinda got a contract to only adventure with other iconics; sorry!

What is your favorite drink?

Potion of haste spiked with raspberry wine.

So Merisiel, what would you do for a magic item that would keep bats and werebats(even in human form) atleast 20 feet away from you?

An awful lot.

Hi Kyra!

What do you do to mean half-orcs who insult your friends by calling them enlarged kenders? DO YOU BURN THEM WITH FIRE?

(crosses fingers)

Don't worry sweet Merisiel I'll keep you save from the Werebats. All I ask for in return is a monthly trip to a swing-door on your money.*thinks she can't stab me for using the word she taught me*

Would you rather have an elven fighter with a curved blade or a dwarf fighter with a wooden shield in your adventuring party? Would you ever consider traveling with both?

Why is it everywhere me and my party go civil war soon starts after we arrive?

Are you responsible for keeping the other iconic's from the trap thread set up for them or are you and your friends just busy defending Golorian from the next thing that's trying to destroy it?

I don't know if anyone has asked this but what is your favorite color and favorite type of flower?

If some slightly evil inclined person, not saying me or anything, dressed Kyra up in a dress that was your favorite color and put flowers in her hair would that be enough to impress you?

What if some sneaky individual, again not saying me, was able to make off with all her armor so the world could finally see what she looked like under it would that impress you?

Sorry... I don't trust drow or creepy folk to keep me safe from ANYthing. Especially werebats. With whom they're probably in cahoots anyway.

Elven fighter with a curved blade any day of the week.

Because you're probably an instigator.

Um... you confused me. "Trap thread?"

Favorite color = yellow (yes, it's been asked already). Favorite flower = poppy (hasn't been asked yet).

Yes, but not enough to make me ignore your evilness.

Nope. Takes the fun out of it if someone else does it for me.

i'd especially look out for goblin werebats, they are everywhere....

Don't you have to survive being bitten in order to were up? I mean, I've seen goblins killed by NORMAL bats. It'd be tough for something as badass as a werebat to touch a goblin without killing it and the goblins standing next to that dead goblin.

Merisiel Sillvari wrote:

Wait.

There are werebats?

Great. Time to look into learning how to wear multiple suits of full plate and never going outside again.

Could this be a reason to retire?

Wouldn't werebats be even more likely to go after retirees though? Retiring is no way to escape the werebat peril.

Ever been to Kyonin? If so, did you like it there? Seems like the right kind of place for you (well, except it lacks stabbing targets).

Nope; never been there yet. Are there werebats there?

If you were given a chest of 10,000 platinum coins (for whatever reason) what would you do with it?

Donate it to the anti-werebat fund. ASAP.

Not intending to be Trollish here, but what is your feeling on Were-Rats, and at the risk of having a Rapier inserted somewhere painful, Were-Bats? Both are breeds I could well imagine living within a large metropolis where they can hide amongst the sea of Humanoids and Vermin with relative immunity to their predators.

What would you do if Kyra was bitten by a Were-Bat?

What would you do if bitten by a Were-Bat?

Were anythings are creepy and gross. Wererats in particular are nasty cause they live in sewers and have stuff matted in their hair.

Wait.

There are werebats?

Great. Time to look into learning how to wear multiple suits of full plate and never going outside again.

I do know lots of Golarion slang. You can't not grow up on the streets and not know it, but it's different for every region. Was there a particular area or topic you were looking about?

I have to confess I don't have the knowledge of Golaria others here do. I was just hoping you might know a humorous turn of phrase. (Or two. Or more, if you're so inclined.)

Including, apparently, the knowledge that the world's called "Golarion." :-)

Anyway, here's a few.

In Cheliax, slang for "halfling" is "slip."

In Korvosa, slang for "Shoanti" is "Horser."

In Kaer Maga, slang for prostitute is "payride" or "swing-door."
