Hero Points have reset
OH! I was just an idiot that forgot that Vitalis was going alone in that initiative block XD
Reminder: "golems" aren't a thing anymore, and golem antimagic no longer exists.
Vitalis was using the term in a broad sense of the word.
That was more me putting out a reminder to the casters so they don’t immediately go “Sh*t, I can’t use any of my magic!”

FYI, Vitalis, your AC in your hotbar is incorrect. It says 32, but your AC is actually 33 (10 + 16 expert + 0 Dex. + 6 Hellknight Plate + 1 rune)
Thanks for noticing that. When I looked, my saves were also off by 1. I guess they didn't get updated correctly when I leveled last. It is fixed now.

Voted on Saturday!
Sigh Day off. If you know you know.
For the record, this weekend I’ll be going to a middle-of-nowhere section of a middle-of-nowhere part in my state to visit my grandmother.

I just want to say this (Primarily aimed at the people in the USA):
“Acceptance” is knowing that “what is so, is so.”
“Resignation” is the act of giving in to something greater.
Sigh He won. No matter how you look at it, he won. We have to accept this. But we do not have to resign to this.
The next 4 years will suck. No matter how you swing it, that is the truth. We must accept it. But if we resign to it, then we are just allowing them to walk over us. We must accept that the next 4 years will suck, but we do not have to resign to the “fact” that it will suck for ONLY us!
He cannot fundamentally change how this country works. That would require an amendment. That requires EITHER: 1) supermajority (2/3) of both House and Senate, or 2) supermajority (2/3) of states request it. THEN said amendment must be ratified by ANOTHER supermajority (3/4 this time) of the states. He’s never gotten a supermajority of states.
Finally, we must not resign to having no voice. I personally live in a very red state and am going to be going with some friends to the state capitol to protest during Transgender Awareness Week.
The next 4 years will suck. But it will suck for more than just us.
Yeah. It's definitely going to suck. Hang in there, everyone.
I don't have much worthwhile to say beyond what you two have already said. It's going to be bad, and it will be a while before we know just how bad it will get. Take care of yourselves and the people around you.
I'm having a helluva day today. Maybe I'll get to post later. Maybe tomorrow. We'll see.
Really weird day for me, mentally. I’ll get to posting tomorrow.
I'm going to wait to see what Jisara and Chance do first. It might change Vitalis' actions.
Does anyone have a way to boost a skill check like Athletics?
Chance should probably try deactivating the system at the somewhat lower Occultism DC (+23 mod vs. DC 35) before we attempt Athletics at DC 40 (and risk fatiguing Vitalis). I’ll get a post up this afternoon.

Removing it is bad for those of us that are cursed, but from the description, deactivating the machine and removing the battery are separate things. Would we get still get slapped by the curse if I turn it off and then walk away?
Yes you would. But I see where your thinking is at.
It’s any piece of that Hell Engine that’s unsafe, which includes the azata as it is/was the Hell Engine’s battery. The azata herself is what’s unsafe.
With strange cultural intersections woven deep into its history and a cathedral capable of transforming anyone (and their ideas) into the divine, Absalomians often believe that dedication and devotion to any ideal, no matter how abhorrent, has intrinsic value. As a result, even beliefs and cultures strictly banned elsewhere can find an open-minded audience and, with proper passion, the most pious philanthropists and heinous demagogues can gather a curious audience within minutes. As patient as Absalomians seem with strange notions, however, they’re vocal in their disapproval after having given a bad idea due consideration. Thus, the notion that citizens condone prejudice and tolerate violence largely stems from observers who never stuck around long enough to watch a sympathetic crowd turn on a bigoted loudmouth.
Today’s a really bad day for me, mentally.
Sorry to hear that. Hope tomorrow is better for you.
As Vitalis separates the skelm's head from his body, Edrakk snaps his fingers in realization. "OH! They're not individual batteries, they're two sides of the same battery! One's an azata and one's a fiend, and for added measure one's a woman and the other's a sexist a$&%~~&, and them being so diametrically opposed creates the planar equivalent of a voltage difference that they can use for power! That's... I mean, it's incredibly messed up, but also kind of fascinating, in a way? I wonder, do they have to keep them so far separated? I'm sure if they were closer together, it'd create more power, but in might be more unstable..."
…I…Can’t refute that…The text doesn’t outright SAY that, but…I’m giving Edrakk a Hero Point because I’m incorporating that into my headcanon now.
Yes, full rest.
I'd say the magical invisibility takes priority and your location would not be revealed by the mist.
