Poor neglected owl. ;_;
*spanks Jediah*
Oh hush you. :P
Dagmar has an owl?
Yep, look at my character sheet. There is totally an owl on it. Now adays she mostly just flies overhead. There's only so much to do with a familiar that doesn't talk. :(
...yet
No crossbow cheese for me,
my mistress spends all her time with that Ulfen bear nowadays,
and now you all want to replace me with somebody else.
*sob*
Nobody loves me :(((

Oh, and in case someone has been reading the spoilers and is wondering why Thorvald postet for me: I've asked him to, so we could wrap up the events of that night quickly.
one word on improved familiars: mephit
This is like waiting for Christmas morning, except without the devastating neurotic guilt about wanting too much.
I know not of this "guilt" you speak of?
Sans turkey-coma as well.

Julian in or out of game we can always count on you for comedic relief.
Dagmar Ragnasdottir, Thane of the Kodiaks."
@Dagmar - did you notice that he just created you as minor nobility? Thane is roughly 'Baronette'. ('baron' is more frankish, 'thane' is very nordic) That's more than a knighthood, it's an actual Title.
At least for Isham, this is a Big Freaking Deal. I'm still rolling it around and trying to determine how Isham's going to react.
All Hail, "Lady Dagmar Ragnasdottir, 'Hand of Solace', Thane of Kodiak"
~~~~~~~~
OK, I'm working toward a group handle. Now that it looks like a fact moving back into history - and acquitted without undue disrepute - I'm thinking, "The Speakers of Savol Kodiakborn", or just "The Speakers" for short.
I think it works better than "Hydra Slayers" which ARC tagged us with a moment ago. I think "Wolfsbane" got leveled at Isham, and may stick on Julian (he's got a much cooler wolf-skin).
I haven't found a better thread of commonality among the group - "The Ambitious" probably isn't great. "Great Whacking Monster Slayers Are Us" probably not so good either.
Another option is to go aspirational - "Nation Builders", "Smiths of Nations", "Midwives of a Kingdom", "Herald of Galactus"
Thoughts, ideas?
Really? No, I hadn't noticed that at all. I'm going to have to go back and reread that and possibly alter my post. Though it is entirely possible that all the pretty things distracted her and the rest of what he said will hit her later.

Claws of the Bear or Kodiak's Claws?
Yeah I caught that, you were both given personal sigils and titles as well as the house colors and you are wearing Savols personal symbols as well.
thane
Pronunciation: \ˈthān\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English theyn, from Old English thegn; akin to Old High German thegan thane and perhaps to Greek tiktein to bear, beget
Date: before 12th century
1 : a free retainer of an Anglo-Saxon lord; especially : one resembling a feudal baron by holding lands of and performing military service for the king
2 : a Scottish feudal lord
"Julian and the Often Infeffectual Hornballs."
Bear Claws have raisins in them. I can't abide raisins (particularly cooked ones in pastries).
If we can all agree that Kodiak Claws have some of Thorvald's blueberries instead, then I'm all for "Kodiak's Claws".
"Julian and the Often Infeffectual Hornballs."
That's the title of Julian's future autobiography :)

Do these 'Claws' have nuts in them as well?
And should Dagmar warn Savol yet that she may have a potential suitor visiting him sometime in the future?
@Dagmar - do you even need to ask about the nuts? I'm betting there are even flakes.
@Dagmar - You'd probably be acutely aware (and Savol just reminded you) that Savol stands in a role close to 'godfather' or 'loco parentis' to you, as well as your liege lord. If he is explicitly told about a possible suitor, he'd probably feel obliged to pass judgement - with potentially matrimonial consequences. You would probably also realize that we didn't quite cement an alliance with the Oakrun, and marriage of a Thane of Kodiak to Samuel of Oakrun might just seal the deal - which puts Savol in an uncomfortable conflict of interest. Just sayin'
@Thorvald - if we're to be a band, then the rest of you need to learn to play instruments. or at least sing - but if you're just back-up singers, you also need to dance.

Yeah, I wouldn't say anything, I would just let things play out. We might never see that dude again.
We will just assume that Dagmar is too overwhelmed with everything to even think of Samuel right now then.
Still less complicated than Ana's relationships though. :)

Organization solitary, pair, gang (3–6), mob (7–12)

Ice mephits are commonly found on the Plane of Air. These mephits are cruel and aloof.
Leveled, and heck, even the much maligned stallion got some more hitpoints
Yes Rutilux, we know your stallion is impressive. Growing - rampant. Much bigger than everyone else's.
:P <phhhbbtt>
oh - oh no. Thorvald wants to turn Ana into the scary/dangerous Playboy Bunny of the northlands. what an image :) ROTFLMAO
Heh, unintended consequence my characters has good intentions, but now you have engraved the image in my mind.

You sure you want to encourage these metaphors when it has already been mentioned that Isham isn't very good at 'riding'? :)
Rutilux, can you post stats for a heavy horse with the advanced template added?
Sorry, I'm just using what Hero Lab gave me
Can you hero forge one up without it being a cavalier?
@rutilux - I've been taking lessons. Running around with you lot has been very instructive. :)

Rutilux with post 2000 whoo hoo
I'll go with a quicken metamagic rod, if you don't mind me taking the most expensive one.
We would expect nothing less of Ana. :)
Ana goes for the most expensive?! Never saw that coming. Did you take power word Shoe Sale yet?
I can sell the quicken rod for 17.5k, buy an extend rod for 3 k and still have 14.5k left for shoes. As opposed to no money for shoes, if I go for the extend rod right away. Think of how many shoes you can buy for 14.5k gold.
Seriously though: ARC, if you didn't mean to give me a 35k magic item (in addition to the other stuff), I'd understand and go for something cheaper.

Don't forget to set aside a little for your hair and nails.
Let's see, what shall I make with my new Alchemy skill. :)
Now I'm thinking I may take brew potions at 5th and wait till at least 7th for improved familiar.
How much would it cost to teleport in my hairdresser from Absalom? (and to teleport her back, once she has done my hair and nails)
Dagmar: make poison. Lots of poison. And then give it all to Julian. Either telling him what it is or not. Both could get interesting.
Summon beautician!
I misread that as "beautilican" first - and now I have this image in my head, of a pelican with a beauty salon in its beak.
