Sounds like fun.
You realize you're leaving the inmates in charge of the asylum, though, right? The place might not look the same when you get back.
I don't have much choice, do I? :(

Hee Hee Hee! :D
So, we need to enact new laws - like the 'dress like a chicken' law and ensure that all osiriani women have to put on bright pink wigs at all times! :D
Game Concluded
And the 'Melodie must wear a leather corset on all days that end in "Y"' law. ;)
RETIRED - happily married and ruling Taldor.
I propose the 'Zhi only wears clothes when Melodie let's her law! :D
Game Concluded
Zhi opens her mouth to protest, but then knowing her wife's ability to get legislation passed, closes it without another word.

@Zhi: I'll amend that to the 'Honeymoon rules' law if you prefer sweetheart? :)

After what I just did for Zhi I am no longer taking the Am Nat Arm - if anyone else wants it, feel free! :)
I will be on a cruise next week from 4/1-4/6 without Internet access. It will likely take me till the following Monday or Tuesday to get caught up and resume posting.
Game Concluded
Is Sara planning a dip into a caster class now? :)
RETIRED - happily married and ruling Taldor.
I was just about to say that! Sounds like either Vox or Bard to me :)
I'm also beginning to feel terribly boring for sticking tight on a single class!
Game Concluded
Be warned that if Mel dips into another class then Zhi will have to escalate. Maybe take a level in Monk or something. :)
RETIRED - happily married and ruling Taldor.
If I was going to take anything a level of dragonscale monk would be my best defensive option! Or bard so I could perform.
Serious question, do people want more buffs? Me picking up one level and lingering performance wouldn't be a huge deal and all the melee would get an extra bonus out of it.
Game Concluded
I kind of like the fact that Mel has stayed focused on a single class. It'd be a shame to break that trend now. But you gotta be you. :)

I think bard would be thematic for Melodie, and more buffs are always appreciated, but the morale bonus wouldn't stack with the +4 from Greater Heroism, but we only get that bonus one minute a day.
Also, as far as Sara's build though, I'm considering Familiar Adept Wizard (so I don't hafta lug around a spellbook). There's no real reason to do so, but I have filled out my build featwise and I can afford a slight hit to HP or BAB, so a level or two of Encahtment Wizard will make the Envoy Rings spells slightly more effective, it'll provide interesting RP opportunities, I get a +2 to CHA skills and another +3 to Diplomacy with a familiar, and regardless of whether or not I take the dip, I have an arc planned out with TWR, and Sara is exactly the type of person to get really into something very quickly, and just as likely to abandon it as she is to keep it forever (justifying it being just a dip).
Also, remember I'm trying to beat a Dip of +54, after all, and I wouldn't mind my Intimidate being that high either.

Also is anyone able to lend me the 10k I need for my shoes?
Game Concluded
Zhi would do it if she had it. And just between you and me, I think her wife is broke now as well. :(
RETIRED - happily married and ruling Taldor.
Not broke - I have about 7K I'm not using. It's just that I spent 12 on Zhi :)

Ooh, so is anyone willing to lend me 3-5k? +5 boots would mean penetrating DR/Alignment which would be nice
Game Concluded
Eventually Zhi and Mel are going to have to have a talk regarding a joint checking account. ;)

Maria might have some cash to spare. After work today I'll look into what equipment she can buy for herself and work from there. If you're looking to get a +5 weapon then I really need to catch up on the gear front - Maria's weapon is still just +1 as far as base enhancement bonus goes.

So are Sara's heels, but they keep throwing extraplanar DR/Good at us and I can't use any of these Holy weapons
ADVENTURE PATH COMPLETE
Why can't you use holy weapons? They only inflict a negative level on evil wielders, not on neutrals.

Because they're not improvised weapons/ Brainiac ruled I cannot use the spear as a quarterstaff and maintain the enchantment. I don't mean Holy weapons in general; I mean the two spears we've already found.
RETIRED - happily married and ruling Taldor.
Let's see how Maria does - getting both of you to +3/4 is probably a better use of money than getting one to +5 and having one stuck at +1.

Is there a particular enhancement level that'll bypass DR/Adamantine? Or should I just finally get around to buying an adamantine backup weapon?
RETIRED - happily married and ruling Taldor.
Nothing that I can find - I think you just have to have an adamantine weapon...

C'mon, suggesting bringing in a wet-nurse hit the perfect storm of parental inadequacy crossed with negative self-image. XD
I half expected Mel to go running off to Zil with a 'What did you say to her?' on her tongue.
ADVENTURE PATH COMPLETE
It’s been a hell of a month for me.

Misinterpreted good-intentions like that are the stuff good drama is made from. :)

Still, feeling left out! *pouts*
ADVENTURE PATH COMPLETE
I had half a mind to ask Zhi if we should discuss the matter with the other ladies, since this woman would be in our house all the time, but she ran off! (I even considered doing an "interview" scene with the nurse so that everyone could "meet" her, but that might be overkill.)

But that's how the father always feels.
To be honest, Zhi still doesn't really know anything and that's par for the course. If you'd like to have it fleshed out a little more, the current physical symptoms/effects she's suffering are as follows:
■ Fatigue, lack of energy, sleepiness
■ Frequent urination
■ Nausea with vomiting
■ Heartburn, indigestion, flatulence, bloating
■ Food aversions and cravings
■ Breast changes
■ Rounding of the belly
■ Easier orgasm
■ Sensitivity to certain smells
As far as emotional effects, I'll leave that for you to figure out. ;)

I'm back from my trip. I will be starting the next adventure tomorrow morning. You can backpost any scenes that still need to be resolved.

I think we covered much of it - a nice relaxing downtime for once! :P
Hope you had a great time.

Welcome back o great and wondrous DM :)

Hope you enjoyed yourself on the trip, Brainiac.
Now that I've finally gotten around to looking into magical item costs - am I right in thinking that getting Maria's weapon and armour upgrade would only cost the difference between their current enhancements and what I'm upgrading them to?
IE: I want to upgrade her +1 inspired sword cane to a +3 one. This would take it from a total enhancement of +2 (which costs 8,000) to a +4 (which costs 32,000). Would I be right in thinking that getting it upgraded like this would only cost 24,000?
This is an aspect of magical item costs I can never remember.
ADVENTURE PATH COMPLETE
You are correct, you pay the difference.

Awesome. So that's her armour upgraded to a +4 mithral chain shirt and her sword up to a +3 inspired keen sword cane (I'd forgotten that I put Keen on it before we went to Zimar).
Shame I couldn't up the sword to +4, so DR/Adamantine is still gonna be a b@~~! to deal with.
Also, Sara, if you still want 10k to upgrade your heels, let me know - I have about that spare.
Anybody else who wants to talk to Carrius may do so now. I will move things along in the morning.

One small typo I noticed in Mel's story.
The hero and villain trade barbs, not bards as written... :D
"I'll trade you an Archaeologist 5 and a Diva 3 for your Arcane Duellist 7."
"Nah, I've got a Diva already. How about you throw in a first level Silver Balladeer and we call it quits?"
