The Lady of the Lake is a ghaele eladrin, for the curious....
.... Well no wonder no one EVER got the sword, they would die against Nessie alone.. and then She is like a giant FU-sign after they barely survive Nessie.

The Kraken, a type XXI German U-boat captained by Vampire Von Ulrik....

Are we to commandeer the Kraken or destroy it?
You can do whatever you want with it if you succeed in defeating the Vampire Von Ulrik and crew.... Would be a sweet prize, actually.... Only issue would be finding a loyal crew capable of operating a U-boat....

Michael Johnson 66 |

The Kraken is a type XXI U-boat (short for Unterseeboot--"Underseaboat"), capable of lengthy submersion. It previously ran on batteries and diesel, but Von Ulrik has had it outfitted with a nuclear reactor to power it.... It has torpedoes and four .50 caliber anti-aircraft machineguns mounted on its upper deck.... It has sonar, radar, and electric lights.... It's normal crew during WWII consisted of 5 officers and 53 submariners.

The Post-Apocthulhu Epic must grind on, no matter what else I'm up to.... Lol!

Too bad the new Pandora's Box is landlocked....
No marinas in the Grand Canyon....
We could park it off Baja California.

There is a pretty big river that runs through it, but it is shallow in spots.

Happy Memorial Day, all! Thanks especially to any of you who've risked life and limb against our nation's enemies in some branch of military service .
Hope everyone is still having fun, I know I am! This campaign is only gonna get more epic and more challenging from here, so buckle up! :)

When you think about it, any pathfinder/D&D character is ridiculously powerful.
Most RL people are level 1 commoners, right? so say you have 12 con that gives you 5 HP. a first level fighter has twice that. that means a 2nd level fighter which in an RPG is pretty weak can take probably 3/4 times as much damage. a 20th level barabrian in real life could literally kill any number of real people without taking 1 damage unless they were armed with tanks and such and then he would probably still win.

The higher in level a PF/DnD character is, the more like a superhero he/she becomes.

Thanks DM, I should have posted actions by timing, but I had a flow going. I am hoping not to kill anyone or myself here. I drew inspiration for this act from the opening description of the alchemist class.

Derrik Stonesmith |

There is no problem with that, as it is thematically cool and quite effective, Sometimes you do things that just seem plain awesome and that should be rewarded.. In my Case I wanted become a flurry of Holy axe and sword.. and the Dice gave me that chance... Well barring GM and other things; It should make for a satisfying Boom (( And a new pace as I dissected the new guys from the ground up..))

If we survive the blast, we are close to level 6. I thought it smart to take Wings discovery, but if I get haste as a spell, maybe infusion is a better choice? Then, do I infuse Koran or Stonesmith?

Derrik Stonesmith |

Heh, I dont think I will get as much publicity as Ruladin to be anywhere near that big, though I appreciate the praise; Thanx. As for Wings.. thats always a good choice especially since it is Ex and furthermore.. Haste will be more effective depending on the situation There are time when you would rather have Derrik Smiting evil on the HIGH DR boss having the extra attack or Koran against the Menacing Construct kicking our ass... However with Koran there is always the Risk of him turning on one of us for a sec due to confusion most of the time it would be Derrik so its not THAT bad of a problem.

Derrik Stonesmith |

Also another Note.. Just because you fail the Charm does not mean you are effectively Dominated unless your character is TOTALLY cool with monsters; They still have to work to get you to do stuff.
The spell does not enable you to control the charmed person as if it were an automaton, but it perceives your words and actions in the most favorable way. You can try to give the subject orders, but you must win an opposed Charisma check to convince it to do anything it wouldn't ordinarily do. (Retries are not allowed.) An affected creature never obeys suicidal or obviously harmful orders, but it might be convinced that something very dangerous is worth doing. Any act by you or your apparent allies that threatens the charmed person breaks the spell. You must speak the person's language to communicate your commands, or else be good at pantomiming.
So a +5 most likely ((Which won't help Levinston but will Yingzen)) and opposed Cha checks for other stuff and that does not AUTO make you like their friends either.
Did anyone else get a small Power Rangers vibe from the FO's randomly?
Some Deity: Merlin! Find me misplaced Heroes with a bad attitude!
FO's: Its Smitin' Time!

I read that entry in my book to double check before posting, and I wasn't sure if the +5 would apply as she wasn't being outwardly violent or threatening to me (and I miffed the save by more than that anyway).
Clearly it is stupid to follow her from a meta-gaming viewpoint, but I figured RP-wise if I see her as a friend now as the text suggests, I wouldn't be opposed to following her inside.
To address the other concern: I'm neutral on the good/evil axis, and I spend my time summoning creatures from beyond our plane. So my assumption is I am generally cool with monsters that don't try to kill me (which she hasn't done yet).
So while out of character I am banging my head on my desk, I think I made the right move role-play wise. But I'm still new to the game compared to you, so if I am making mistakes, I always appreciate the feedback.
And to further promote Grimm's promotion of you: I think there should at least be a Ruladin blog on the Pazio site.

GM, do you have an opinion on the alternative summoning options? Particularly I was hoping to have the alternative SM III choice of Silvanshee that was offered in Adventure Path 50 as an addition to the summon list for priests of Shelyn. Either ruling is fine, since it is Pazio but not Core. But I was just curious as I rather like the creature.

If the stats are available in the PRD, and you can cite the Paizo source including it as a summoning option, I'll allow it.

Sorry I havent posted. Tornados in Oklahoma are starting to get very very old. If you have to, put Rad on a ciesta or make him NPC for a bit. When posting can be more reliable other than random bits of cell phone access I'll come back, I promise!
Sorry to hear this. Hope you are ok.
