I'll have an update in a few hours. Sorry for the delay.
I think we’re waiting on Ema now?
Sorry, it's been a very busy week and when I've been home I've gotten sucked into Battletech on the PC. I'll have to get something up once I get home this evening as there's too much to look up to do it from here at work right now.
Out of curiosity, are there any priests back in town that are powerful enough to raise dead?
I will be out of town without internet access from Saturday 2/29 until Friday 3/6. It may take me until the following Monday to catch up on everything.
Not to make waves here, but I rolled a 2 for my iterative attack on the wihsaak. That worked out to a 14 total after everything else.
Oops, I misread your damage as an attack roll. I'll edit my previous post, sorry.
It only affects you, unfortunately.
Lack of sleep, lingering illness, and a busier than expected first day back at work have prevented me from updating today. I'll endeavor to do so tomorrow morning. Apologies for the extended delay.

Valentin could use the Handy Haversack and the wand.
With the Haversack, he could carry most of the potions and things that would allow him to move around and keep everyone else out of trouble.
I guess the breastplate is actually worse than the chainmail. For some reason, I thought breastplates were a higher ac than chainmail...
Well, we can either sell it or put it in the museum.
Yes, Simon, your story feat is complete.
Did you all want to visit Vriskirsa next or no? Nobody responded to Simon's question yet.
Sure, sounds alright.
Works for me.
Yeah, with the appropriate adjustments the spell tells you to make.
Post coming after work today, things are fairly hectic right now.

Any useful spells to have Valentin craft into a wand?
Higher level cure spells don't seem worth the cost. Prayer is a possibility, if we don't mind spending some funds from the party supply.
Channel the Gift is an interesting hack that would allow 3rd level (or lower) buffing spells to be cast without consuming a spell slot. Not very efficient for combat, but versatile for outside of combat. More useful in a dungeon crawl than what we have been doing, though.
Well, a wand of cure something could be useful as could one of lesser resto.
Does anyone want any crafting done by Ema before we head out. I figure we can spare the time for one item each and I can make almost anything we need at this point, particularly if someone can provide the spells I don't have direct access to.
Valentin came with a wand of CLW and Lesser Restoration.
If you think it is worth the price, I can make a wand of CCW, but since it comes at a cost well above 4 wands of CLW, it just doesn't seem economic for out of combat healing.
If we think Valentin will need to be doing lots of in-combat healing (not a bad assumption based on recent battles), it still might be worth it.

@Ema I am not sure if we ever got an answer whether you were taking the Pearl of the Sirines or the Ioun Stone that sustains a character without breathing.
Valentin will have the other.
Ema should probably also take the Ring of Protection +2. Simon already has +2 deflection against almost everything we fight, and I think Victrix might have a +2 ring already.
I think a big part of it depends on whether the pearl must be kept in hand once activated. If it does then it might be difficult for Valentin to manage using it since I, assume, he keeps his weapon in hand he would need to put it or the pearl away to cast. If he had a glove of storing that would rectify the problem very easily though. If it doesn't need to be kept in hand then anyone would be in good shape with it.
If he had enough ranks of use magic device we could make a wand of spectral hand for Valentin to use to deliver his healing spells with. Might be worth the investment regardless.
Ultimately I think Valentin will be served by the pearl better than Ema if we can make it work, especially since I can mover further with dimensional slide than any one else can in combat and since I don't need to move as much as the rest of you.

As for crafting, Simon already sent his spear to get Inspired, so he isn't looking for anything.
With the new Monstrous Physique combat angle, I almost wish we hadn't sold that amulet of mighty fists.
Is it possible for Ema to help Valentin to make scrolls (or a wand) of Greater Magic Fang? Being able to make natural attacks magical and seaborne would be a situational boon.

Valentin does not intend to get into battle often, so holding the pearl shouldn't be too much of a problem. Still, being able to actually use his crossbow might be important.
Holding his breath through a battle, if needed, isn't very hard in Pathfinder physics.
Being able to heal from range could be very useful, though, but he has no ranks in UMD. I'll look into that a little more.
Reach spell is really nice for clerics when it comes to ranged healing. Sure it makes the cast a full round to apply it (if it's a spontaneous conversion) but being able to suddenly cast that cure critical at range is very nice. Even better is when applying to spells like slay living, heal and harm.
Nothing says f%*! you to the bad guys like a harm spell delivered from behind your party's defensive line, Or when just casually flying past on a carpet.
Reached Breath of Lifes can be a life saver as well.
You might also want to consider spell expertise and it's greater version (if we end up high enough level for it) as they can be good for those situational spells you may need but don't want to waste a spell slot for or just have extras of.
Have we been in town long enough for the tower to be finished?
Yes, the tower is complete.
Got a PM waiting for a response. :)
Yup, getting to it shortly.
Is there more RP people would like to do in town or are we ready to move on?
I'm good to go.
Whoops, didn't realize that Simon. Craft Rod is one of the few that I can't actually do. You'd have to buy one or work the feat in.
The only other thing of note is that Ema would have been working on copying all of her spells into the blessed book. Would I have had enough time to do that. It costs me nothing but time and since we're going to be underwater a fair bit it seems I figured it might be a good idea to have this done if possible.
Also, if we think it worth the effort I could try and bind an outsider to come along with us. I could simply bring in an ally one of 6hd or less or bind one of up to 12hd. A huge water elemental might be really handy where we're going but the challenge of binding one potentially significant.
Yes, you would have had time to put all the spells in the book.
Woot!
Good thing I've got that bottle of air on me.
Ema is up!
Also, Simon, bless lasts 1 min/level so you don't need to keep track of rounds. :)
Woopsie! Sorry about that. Question, does the four armed sahuagin make the SR 10 check for the protection spell to work against the Orca?
Yes it does, unfortunately.
I'm rather shocked it even needed to roll. I guess it is the equivalent of a mook encounter though.
As I never stated I was getting out of the sub do I need to be able to see the target to affect them or do I need to be actually out of the sub to do so, with a spell? Looking to try and dispell the protection spell on the four armed one.
You need line of effect so you'll have to exit the sub. I'm pretty sure everybody has means of breathing underwater right now so it shouldn't be too much of an issue.
yeah, I was hoping, I'll get something posted when I can. Work is getting a bit busy just now so it will have to wait a bit longer.
Just to clarify what did I end up with for water breathing? I thought we had trailed off on the question about the pearl.
