Well, yeah. But seeing as he, in game time, literally just learned about it, he's probably going to.
Might even find a potential ally among the pirates, although I imagine it would be harder to convince them.
Ha! An ally within the pirates of the shackles? Good luck! Even the best of them would gladly cut a Chelishman's throat before aligning with them.
As a player note to any who might be pondering: I'm playing the Princess as a Witch.
My S&S oracle is CG, and currently pushing for a team policy of "only pillage Chelaxian ships and slavers"

A witch? Oh. I just assumed that she was a Mythic Bard/Rogue/Ninja/Pirate/Witch. It is comforting to learn that Her Majesty is a merely a normal Witch.

Well, there is one more, but GM-Protean isn't a valid class, so.... Lol!
I'd hesitate to use the word "greed".
It's more like "ambitious".
The money I'd gain is secondary to the power and influence I would hold.
Just so the actual players can understand Val's motivations.
Wow, a witch? That is the class I would least expect a noble to have.
At least we know she's OP now.
/slumberhexop
I thought it was fitting. She's meet been outside the nation for educating, but it's beginning to become obvious that she's a powerful mage of some sort. Oddly, she's never seen with anything resembling a familiar though.
And I'm settling on her other bits... I think it'd be more fitting for a noble, but not what you would think for the Princess. She will be Gestalted.
Its far more entertaining for the nobles to buck tradition.
You shoulda seen my character for Kingmaker. The king of the nation holds court in plate, flies around on a Roc, and has a love of hanging bandits (to the point the noose is referred to as "Basque's Knot"). Also he might have hit on a centaur once.

Hmm, I am glad that the Princess is on our side!
She's not Gestalting with Gunslinger, is she?

"Father will heartily disapprove."
Eh... better a pirate than a Chelaxian.
Meanwhile, my Kingmaker character, working as the royal treasurer and economic advisor, is a professional tailor/architect who occasionally throws fireballs, constructs most of the barony's new buildings with the power of his mind, and is turning the local kobolds into an efficient silver mining operations. Yay for clerics of Brigh.
My Skull & Shackles one, on the other hand... is a Lore Oracle, who uses applied knowledge of engineering to fire siege weapons with perfect accuracy at maximum range, specializing in deadly alchemical ammo. Because... pirates?
Pathfinder gets weird.

Meanwhile, Lady Gabrielle may turn out to be even more normal than the NPCs!
That might be a problem. She might have to get wierder, so she can blend in.

I feel like the Soiree was just some light fun, but here's where things start to get interesting. lol!
I have absolutely no idea what is about to happen.
It should be fabulous!
Oh. Hmm.
Surely that's just a coincidence....
Err... you did remember to sweep the place for invisible assassins, right? Right?
....Extended Invisibilty Purge.
60' radius... eh, might be good enough. Rook probably has a general sense of what spells you're casting, and will save his paranoia for later, then.
Ok! For suspense reasons... And my sanity. I'll be going out tonight, so I won't be posting untill tomorrow. I think we're making great progress in the story. The quick fire posts weren't as taxing as last time.
It's actually 55, since I'm only Cleric 11.
But yeah, Detect Magic lights the entire room up.
There are tons of auras and spells and items all over the place.
He really didn't spare much expense.
Well, then, this can only end well
Yes, it was one if the last spells he cast.
Val wasn't taking any chances.
Sorry if that ruins anything.
Now that you mention it....yes.
It is. xD
I'm not trying to destroy whatever you're doing, I just didn't want to take any chances.
Again, spells=OP.
Again, spells=OP.
Tell that to my little friend.
Your answer to over powered spells is a more powerful spell? xD
Regardless, this is not the place for this.
I'm excited to see what, exactly, you're talking about, Gabrielle.
Nobody here can even cast AMF so the point is moot.
Good thing too, because both my characters seriously rely on magic and supernatural abilities.
If Val was being really paranoid, he'd have cast Protection From Energy: Electricity.
Err, I believe everyone else just sort of walked into the house? Are y'all awkwardly standing around outside?
The problem with AMF is that there's no way to stop it, and it takes all magic out of the fight. But eh, everything has its counter.
If Val was being really paranoid, he'd have cast Protection From Energy: Electricity.
Just make a tinfoil hat, should be fine
Sort of waiting for Nev to post but whatever.
Also, there's an excellent way to stop AMF. Be an anti-mage who doesn't let spellcasters ever cast anyways! (Argos is basically a spellcaster's nightmare, he teleports, he doesn't let them step away, his f$&~s with their defensive casting, and he can nuke them with Intensified spells).
Eh... Argos can certainly annoy an NPC caster. Then again, I think of a "proper" Anti-Mage as something like a Silenced Tetori or Maneuver Master with a bucket of Dispelling and Spell-Storing Darkness Shurikens. (The more intelligent spellcaster NPCs you fight, the more paranoid you get...)
Forbiddance, Magic Circle Against Evil, Magic Circle against Good, Nondetection- Val, True Seeing- Val, Freedom of Movement- Val, Invisibility Purge- Val, and False Vision.
I'm going to make a Eutropia NPC profile tonight, so I can continue this is a better manner.
Err... I've already sent him plenty of telepathic insults, I think I'll let this one slide.
Back you up in suggesting an invasion of Cheliax? Seems a little tetchy, maybe we should just move on with the conversation.
Of course, if we wind up needing someone to assassinate Valignatir, I'm probably a decent person for the job.
I figure that's an appropriate response to his guests suggesting that kind of thing.
Not saying I'm mad, but Val certainly is getting there.
Edit: let's try not to kill a party member so early? xD
His words, not hers. Constantine, you've got my back, right?
If it happened at the soiree or in private, of course! But straight to the Chelaxian asp while in his own villa surrounded by his soldiers and magic in a place that was shrouded from scrying? Not so much. Constantine doesn't care that the Princess seems to trust him, he treads carefully so not to encourage the asp to strike while he rests in its den.
Eh, more like there's no point in attacking this guy in his own home...
In other news, we're humorously powerful enough to take on most of WotR...
Gabby cracks me up, with her brass balls.
Also, I agree, having an NPC Eutropia would be awesome.
Happy 4th everyone!
It's family time for me, so I'm doubtful I'll be posting tonight, but if I do, hurray!
