I would like to state that I am going to bring all my subplots to an end very soon, and that a few of my characters are going to die. I would like to apologize in advance for both my tendency to kill my own characters which is about to resurface, and the one-sided discussions that are coming up.
She's giving you your freedom back. Don't complain. ;)Okay, LJ is recorporated and will be heading to the Eyrie to stay, acting only in an advisory role from now on.Divorce?! Long distance relationship?! No more Dark & Stormy Knights?!Unlikely with regard to freedom. One word. Arielle.
If she appears like a 10 year old then I save 10 yrs worth of child support. ;)
At least we skipped the diaper stage. Even Jacks gag at dirty diapers.
Hey Patrick, rather than have the whole conversation between Nerion, Nymphaea and Nimora, I think I'm just going to do a quick summary of what was discussed. I was thinking that end result, Nimora gets overall military command for the duration of this crisis, but still has to answer to Nerion (who is trying to broker peace between his wife and daughter), but Joren gets command of the city's guard, which puts him in a position of prominence. It also puts Joren in a position to interact with the nobles and hopefully make a positive impression. Is this acceptable? Or are there other political twists you'd like to add?
I got chunks of guys bigger than Joren in my stool. ;)

No that's fine. Those aliases are more 'foils' to Nimora's 'main character' anyway. Or important NPCs if you rather ...
Guys I'm punching out for the evening. Time to rest and take my happy pills. See you guys later.

Well, I hope the rest and the happy pills help and you feel better tomorrow.
Quick question to clear my own muddy thoughts:
We are keeping the rest of the Sandreef / Pearl story in the hands of only those who are already present in it, right? I don't want to send Devlyn off to do something totally superfluous and unimportant if Nimora and Mirathan still need help - it would not be in character for him.
What say you? :)
Nerion calls at his mother's villa as promised and has a long conversation with Nymphaea and Nimora...
....Now all he had to do was convince Melusine that this was the right decision. The last thing they needed was Melusine and Nimora having another public spat.Or possibly that's too complicated.
Meh.
Apologies for that interruption. It's not looking as good an idea now as I thought it was. Off to bed.

Either way you want to go is fine. Or you could add an underwater alias to 'get your feet wet'. I crack myself up sometimes. I know, it wasn't that funny. That's what my daughter tells me ALL the time. Over and over. And over.

She's just keeping you honest, dude. Just tell yourself that and it'll make you feel better....maybe :P (I appreciate bad pun humor, nonetheless.)
I asked because Devlyn has no problem being underwater, thanks to the side benefits of being Sirone's 'chosen'.

Man, Devlyn is the only guy with no other characters. Or even aliases.

Yeah, I agree whichever way you want to go with that.
Man, Devlyn is the only guy with no other characters. Or even aliases.Non-conformist! Get him!
*casts daylight on Devlyn so he can't shadowjump*
lol. :) You know, I did that too for the longest time when the game first started. And then I caved to the peer pressure to start building a veritable army of aliases. ;)

Yeah, but he's totally got a major head start on the rest of us... :)

It's hard enough for me to post as Devlyn and not stall storylines - I'd never be able to give any time to aliases with my time constraints. "Man's got to know his limitations," and all that. :)
Rebel.
What part of 'Chaotic Good' do you not understand? ;D
Non-conformist! Get him!
*casts daylight on Devlyn so he can't shadowjump*
Now now, I can't condone being made to impersonate a deity. Sunny Godhead might not approve. Then again, he might, and it would make for an interesting new way for Allura to work on a tan. Hmmm..... :P

Alrighty. Nimora already knows to call on the rest of us if she thinks she needs the help (and knows that Devlyn can somehow breathe underwater without using magic), so he'll just plug away at his humble domestic stuff until danger calls ;)
Besides, I'm really enjoying seeing those two characters come into their own. :)

If there is an upper limit to the amount of aliases one can recreate here at Paizo, Patrick will probably be the first person to find it. :)
I was planning to write up LJ and family arriving back at the Eyrie in the morning if that's okay. I have an ear infection and the tinnitis has been making it really hard to concentrate today. Going to see Terminator Salvation tonight, and hopefully there will be enough loud noises from the movie to drown out that irritating whine. :)

LOL, I've wondered about that, but I could always do like Kruelaid and make an account for my new aliases. Seems like a lit of work switching back and forth though ...
Guh feeling punchy so off for the night. Pick up threads tomorrow ..
A belated good morning and TGIF! Tonight I'm helping my friday DM move and I made a house warming gift for their new home. So what is everyone else doing today?
I'm just hanging out hoping my ears stop hurting soon. And drawing. And working on writing up variant non-spellcasting bard, paladin, and ranger for use in our home game. And watching my son after he gets home from school in about a half hour. And cleaning the house a bit. And apparently making a pot of coffee to drink because typing all the projects I'm flitting between makes me realize that the ADHD is flaring a bit much and I could use some caffeine to make me calm down. :)

I am putting off doing the reams of paperwork associated with getting in a car accident. Le Sigh...
Folks, apologies for the silence, I have been trying to catch up on a lot of things that went south last week because of my accident and the ensuing paperwork tsunami. Also refinancing the house at the same time, and dealing with that mountain of paper as well. I will try and get on tonight if there is anything left waiting on any of my avatars, just forge ahead and assume I/they are going along with the plan.[/ooc]

Yikes, that is a lot to deal with. Good luck in the battle with the paperwork. And I hope that you're feeling better after your accident.

Ditto from me. Just focus on getting out from under the paperwork and healing, sirrah.

Yay! We win the Battle of the Seven Seas, without dressing! Ok, so now what do we do?

Well, he did say go along with anything...so...the Brightwater Clan tries to enlist the Free Companions to fight their battle for them, the the Free Companions hated the underwater version of the hillbilly ogres from RoTR so they kill the rest of the family leaders and usher in a new era of peace in the sea realms.
Has a nice ring to it doesn't it? The 'ring' of truth?
Pauses in midst of task of checking barrels.
Sandreef? Oh that's a place with annoying bankers, which really needs cheering up. Well I have some special presents here...
Pats barrels.
I have some really pretty alchemical goo in several of these which is green and sticks to things and slowly dissolves them making wonderful 'bloop, bloop, bloop' bubbles as it does. And in another one, there's a formula which does something with all the ox-y-gen in the water or something weird like that, making it react and turn into more water. I'm not too certain on the alchemy of it, but apparently it makes it really difficult for people to breathe underwater, so they gasp and their eyes bulge, and they flap around a lot in a really comical manner before falling over.
And, once everyone's finished enjoying those, I have some prismatic sea-slug eggs in the last barrel, with magic on them so that they hatch and grow to maturity, really fast.
They charge around the streets of a place, shining their rainbow lights at everything and the really fun thing is that they're immune to salt being sea-slugs. I mean it's always a shame when nasty people sprinkle salt on normal slugs and they curl up hurting like that....
Now if only I could remember where Sandreef is... Somewhere underneath the Great Eyrie of Ancient Bazaars, was it?

LOL.:) Well, I can certainly understand the sentiment. I mean, surely not all nomads can be hippocampus behinds, can they? ;) But it doesn't leave us a whole lot of plot to work with...

Eek!
I can read Euclidean maps really well. I can read non-Euclidean maps amazingly well. It's just that I often get mixed up over whether a map is Euclidean or non-Euclidean and end up somewhere else entirely other than where I was aiming to be.
I often just turn up in places. I find out that simply arriving somewhere is much easier than trying to rely on reading a map the right way to get there.
I mean there was the one occasion I was supposed to deliver a troupe of black-dragon hatchlings to a place called Atlantis, to help the rulers keep the floodwaters out, and ended up somewhere else called Azlantis eight thousand years earlier on a different world altogether because the dumb map turned out not to be non-Euclidean. And the people there had some sort of important crisis like the sky was falling on their heads, and they were very impolite about fifty odd black-dragon hatchlings showing up in the middle of it.
Finishes packing the last of the barrels into her fleet of dimensional barges, and prepares to set off for Sandreef.
I do hope I have this map the right way around...
Returns, her barges empty.
Right, well I was worried I had gone off-target, but I checked on the streets, and the place was certainly Sandreef.
Back to my limpet hunt now.
Yay! We win the Battle of the Seven Seas, without dressing! Ok, so now what do we do?
We live my friend ... we live ...
Sorry, couldn't resist. Well, the battle of the fax/mail/email everyone involved in my so-called life wages on, as I also fend off assaults by wild morning glories, rabbit warrens and gophers from Avernus. I will try to get caught up ASAP.

Don't sweat it. I'm moving 90 people this weekend, and then preparing to close out a 60k square foot facility full of furniture. I'm a bit busy too, just without the pain of a car accident. Pain from shlepping stuff around yes.
