There is an interesting delicateness here where we want to avoid exposing our identities, and so for Suyro that means not really talking like an assassin who could offer such services. I get a bad feeling that even being "anonymous assassins" in this situation could get us Awareness.
I finally did my Egorian shopping. Nothing too exciting, just new skill items for Medicine and Acrobatics, and 5 emergency Potions of Invisibility.
Would anyone benefit from a Tesseract Tunnel to allow y'all to basically add 30 (or 40 if I use my bracelet) feet to a stride? We all have Translocate but we're more than 120 feet away.
Do we even want to kill the sea serpents, or just grab the book and run?
I think fleeing would make sense now we have the book
Good call. Will join the fleeing next round.
So...this week is gonna be chaos for me. We're closing on a house and having to move into it, so...yeah, if I'm a bit absent or sporadic, that's why.
Helping a friend with replacing his water heater and it took so lobg I had to spend the night ._.
Will try to post when I get home
Also turns out my realtor misled me into thinking I’d get the keys yesterday instead of today, so the moving-in chaos is actually occurring today.
Also, Quickened Casting only works on cantrips (of any rank) or 6th-rank or lower spells
Sorry, I keep forgetting that, although, then couldn't I quicken the translocate, which was a 4th-rank spell, and cast the higher sanguine mist?
Yeah, fair enough. lemme update that real quick.
EDIT: Done
Oof, Paizo site's been up and down like a yo-yo in a bouncy castle. Sorry for being unable to post for the last few days.
Yeah. It has been bad.
And yesterday was just...a particularly bad day for me. To the point where I basically spent the entire day incapacitated.
FYI, I will be on vacation from Sunday August 24 to Sunday August 31. I will be on a cruise so I will not be posting during that time.
Hey Suryo, you got greater weapon specialization this level; your Strikes should be doing 3 more damage (the damage is correct in your character sheet).
I'm pretty sure Ajoran does not have blood vendetta prepared.

Fixing. I have a google doc of bbcode to paste and it looks like I didn't do a great job updating it.

Achaekek's Moderate Boon. You came in later, so you might not have fully noticed that.
Oh! Good to know. I'll have to review the boons when I can.
Been having some hectic days, applying for scholarships and helping a friend with home maintenance. Will try to get a post in tonight.
@Yujin: you do not have any Hero points left; see the tangent in this post
Oh okay. TBH I don't always look under the spoilers for saving throws, etc. I thought I had 2. No biggie.
DC 11 flat: 1d20 ⇒ 11
◆ Blue vs Suryo: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (19) + 22 = 41
Slashing Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 4) + 9 = 16 plus 1d6 persistent bleedBlue persistent Bleed: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 1, 6) = 13
DC 15 flat: 1d20 ⇒ 4
Should I assume you're rolling these generally instead of me at the end of Suryo's turn?
I mean, you can do what you want.
Unrelated to anything: Y’all are aware of what heresy is, right? It’s basically just worshiping a religion in an unconventional way. Y’all never really asked about it, but Vatumledor worships Achaekek not as a god of assassins but as a god of arbitration and judgement. Vatumledor is a legitimate heretic—Talaro even said as such when he came for y’all. The only reason “heretic” is a dirty word is because, well, the Spanish Inquisition (and I think Warhammer 40k too).
I mention this because Prey for Death is actually a surprisingly good showcase of the difference between heresy, blasphemy, and sacrilege
Basically:
Heresy: A “wrong” belief
Blasphemy: an action that is anathema to a religion
Sacrilege: disrespect toward something that is regarded as sacred
Sister Maeri isn’t heretical by any definition of the word, as she is still a devout worshiper of Achaekek in his orthodox teachings. I would argue she is sacrilegious: the church tends to respect the power and authority of rightful rulers due to Achaekek’s anathema of “kill a rightful ruler,” and Maeri, as a part of the conspiracy to oust Jakalyn, is disrespecting the rightful ruler of the Red Mantis. There is nothing against it in Achaekek’s teachings, but it is not a stretch to extrapolate “do not kill rightful rulers” with “respect the authority of rightful rulers.”
Hey guys. I'm really sick today and can barely concentrate on anything, so I might not be able to get a post up. Just letting y'all know.
Ok. Feel better soon.
Take all the time you need. Get well soon.
Unrelated to anything: Y’all are aware of what heresy is, right?
Yes I know what heresy is thanks. Get well soon.

I’m also realizing that what I said before came out a lot more condescendingly than intended. My apologies.
Rest up and feel better!
Yup. It's Covid. Great.
I'm off to vacation now. I'll be getting back Sunday 8/31, so I'll resume posting that night or more likely Monday 9/1.
Hero Points reset in a week.
Just a heads-up: this weekend (8/29 – 8/31) I have a gaming convention that I’ll be attending as a Venture-Agent of the local Pathfinder Society, so I will be VERY distracted and predisposed, and thus unable to post.
Folks the GM asked me to pass along a note that he’s been tied up suddenly with an urgent issue that’s going to keep him from posting for a few days.
He’s okay, his attention is going to be completely kept from the boards.
To elaborate a bit: I got in a car crash and totaled my car. I am in a lot of physical pain, but I’m overall okay.
Oh no I'm sorry to hear that. I hope the recovery goes well, take your time and don't worry about the game!
Oh jeez. Hoping for a speedy recovery on your part. And a generous payout from insurance.
I'm home from vacation!
I'm sorry to here about your car accident. I'm glad you are okay.
Once I'm settled, I'll catch up on what I missed and resume posting.
Hero Points have reset
Apologies. I'm still not feeling fully up to posting quite yet. This weekend was...a lot.

Take as much time as you need. We'll be here, hoping the best for you.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to y’all. While I’m physically okay (save for a bit of a pulled muscle, I think), the car crash rattled me really bad, mentally.
I will also be absent tomorrow for, uh, no reason whatsoever.
Honestly, I understand the Silksong absence even more than the car crash. I mean we basically got Indie Gaming's Halflife 3.
Happy Bug Day!

No no. "Indie Gaming's Halflife 3" is getting Deltarune chapters 3 and 4 AND Silksong within months of each other.
Funny that, I'm just now picking Deltarune back up. Starting part 2 and loving it.
FYI I will be away in nature and unable to post this coming weekend, Saturday 9/13-9/14. I will return and resume posting that Sunday evening (US/Pacific time).
I guess they didn't want to talk.
If it's any consolation, the twins always break out into combat once they realize they've been found out. The fact that you brought up Mantis Keeper (whom they're not SUPPOSED to know outside of the conspiracy) just expedited things.
I am…having a really bad mental health day. It might change later, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to get a post in unless something changes.
Yujin probably would have sustained her mist but with Ajoran badly wounded, draining her ally further who not aid her cause. She lets the sanguine mist spell end and dissipate into nothingness.
Note: Ajoran goes before Yujin and is likely to move since Shirota moved.
