I absolutely agree with everyone else. As the owner-operator of The Queen of Useless, I'm not even going to comment on your concern.
Oops, I guess I just did. :o/
Seriously though, if one wanted nothing but hack and slash one would play wargames. This is roleplay, and I say pathos expressed -- especially when it leads to backstory exposition (potentialy two backstories, the way this is headed) -- is a good thing.
Besides, seeing as how the boys have made noise about us "short girls" in the past, surely they can handle this on their own.
And if they get into trouble, no doubt there will be time enough for us to rescue them. ;o)

From what I was able to gather these are the abilities you get with Tier 1 Marshal Path. Everyone please note the bolded text on Rally.
Mythic Feat: Select one mythic feat or non-mythic feat as a bonus feat. You must qualify for this feat normally. You gain another mythic feat at 3rd tier, and again every 2 tiers thereafter.
Hard to Kill (Ex): Whenever you're below 0 hit points, you automatically stabilize without needing to attempt a Constitution check. If you have an ability that allows you to act while below 0 hit points, you still lose hit points for taking actions, as specified by that ability. Bleed damage still causes you to lose hit points when below 0 hit points. In addition, you don't die until your total number of negative hit points is equal to or greater than double your Constitution score.
Surge (Su): You can call upon your mythic power to overcome difficult challenges. You can expend one use of mythic power to increase any d20 roll you just made by rolling 1d6 and adding it to the result. Using this ability is an immediate action taken after the result of the original roll is revealed. This can change the outcome of the roll. The bonus die gained by using this ability increases to 1d8 at 4th tier, 1d10 at 7th tier, and 1d12 at 10th tier.
Rally (Su): As a swift action, you can expend one use of mythic power to rally your allies. This gives you and each of your allies within 30 feet the option to reroll any one d20 roll after the roll is made. The granted reroll must be used before the beginning of your next turn, and the creature must take the result of the reroll, even if it is lower.
So with 5 Mythic Power it took one use for the surge and another for the rally. Leaving you with 3 Mythic power to use over 2 rounds.

Thanks for clarifying that. Three mythic points over the next two round seems quite generous.
I must admit, it's not the best time, or perhaps the most dangerous opponent to spend this boon on. I figured, though, if she did not use the boon here, she'd never get to use it. Miko is going thermonuclear on the bastard. Oddly satisfying, I must add.
In that corridor with Crove in it, is there a space behind him? Asking for a friend.

Back now! The translation I got was 'priestess', but that's probably a mistranslation of shrine maiden. Either way, it's ambiguous enough for the cult of Razmiran to not take too kindly to that ;-).
BTW, if one of you still needs a 2nd edition Tome of Magic, I know a shop in Akihabara that is still selling one...

Well they're kind of priestess-ish. Not everything translates 100% literally, and because a 'miko' is a concept we don't have in the western world I think 'priestess' also works.
According to this site I found "The term Miko is difficult to translate. "Shrine maiden" is the most common English term that's used. However, historically Miko were essentially shaman who drove out evil, acted as a spiritual mediums, performed sacred dances and other acts that might be compared to magic. Most modern Miko work at the reception desks of shrines that sell lucky trinkets and answer visitor questions. They may also be involved in rituals and ceremonies such as offerings to kami, dances, festivals, weddings, funerals and miyamari. However, their role as shaman has been greatly reduced in modern times."
I've had this concept of a miko character for a while now, and I plan to (at least mostly) use the shaman class for her. She'll be somewhat based on Hakurei Reimu from the Touhou games, which I really like (games and character), and will work at a shrine dedicated to cats. Thus making her a neko miko! :D

I've been watching waaay too much Korean Drama series lately (a lot of them float around on the web, helpfully subtitled) This bit (link) was an inspiration for that last post. Not what you want to hear your daughter shout when there's a burglar in the room.

The link's been removed :(

You have to be faster (link) (sorry for the crappy sound - the full series is on [edit: I probably shouldn't be linking that here], but it doesn't allow linking by timestamp)

Whoooaaa... O_O
Sorry, guys. Flu wackiness plus holidays has kind of left me strung out. I will get back to posting on Saturday. Sorry again.

Also on that playlist, I realize now, is the Red Army Choir (later renamed Alexandrov Ensemble). That's the choir that was unfortunate enough to be in that Russian plane that crashed into the Black Sea. For me, the 'song of the planes' (the ones with grass on them) was always the archetypical Taldan song.

One of our local GMs used to stress that we didn't have to go everywhere and defeat everything. Sometimes discretion is the better part, etc. Let's hope this isn't one of those cases.
Yeah, this is probably really dumb. But I'm willing to accept the risk of my PC going in.
Now I definitely don't like the idea of everyone jumping in the pool at once. At least not until we have an idea of what's the risk.

Sorry for my delay. But I'ts been a brutal few days. I sort of need to be blunt. On Friday, June 9th, my father tried to kill himself. I'm the only close relative to him and so I've been dealing with that. It's been difficult to say the least.
I'm going to be getting back to my games a little slowly. But I do plan on coming back. Because frankly I need RPGs, especially now. I beg your forgiveness and ask for a little patience as I settle back in.
