So to spitball ideas OOC, the theme of this room seems to be accepting and being peace with death. Our characters have access to the Crimson Shroud feat, which is a mechanical expression of this idea.
Finally, if you die while the shroud is active, you can choose to have your entire body vanish into red mist, leaving behind only your gear; you make this choice when you activate Crimson Shroud.
(Bolded for emphasis)
Perhaps having that active will bypass any traps and hazards?

Good job Janna!
Good job Janna!
Seconded.
In a world where powerful magic can raise the dead, Achaekek and His followers eschew such magic and actively work to counter it, to ensure that any that experience sacred death at the blades of one of the Mantis God’s servant will meet with Pharasma for judgement, and not circumvent the intended nature of the Cycle of Souls.
Interesting similarity to Pharasma here, but emphasizing the opposition to a different affront to life and death.

That seems like a reasonable idea.
FYI, Ajoran, Exploit Vulnerability is NOT the same thing as Recall Knowledge, so the bonus from your tome implement doesn't apply.
that as a grimoire Blaze is only really helpful to prepared casters
Yes, I can't scribe spells into it, but its activated abilities are all very cool, like ignoring 10 fire resistance or adding persistent fire damage as a reaction. I could also find creative uses for its heat sense and fire lore.
You actually can't use the "ignore fire resistance" thing, because that requires using a spell that was prepared from the grimoire. The other activations are fair game, though.
Hero Points reset in a week (see below)
Alright, so I know that my normal situation is that I reset Hero Points on the 1st of the month, but I am making an exception for November for very obvious reasons.
This week is gonna be chaos for me because, as I’ve mentioned previously, I’m getting married. I will be completely unavailable to post from 10/30-11/1 because I NEED to focus all my attention on, y’know, the most important social event of my life xD

I'm happy for you. Congrats again. Enjoy.
Reminder (maybe mostly to self?) that Suryo has
Otherwordly Mission - Ask for Orders
to use one time in this adventure.

Yes they do, but they have not ended their turn on the floor.
Congrats to the GM!
Might be slow to reply for a bit. Early in the week is when school days and work days overlap, and I also have a doctor's appointment coming up in the morning.
FYI, Ajoran: Personal Antithesis is now 10 damage (2 + half level), and Sever Magic usually only really works against spells specifically. You didn't hit with it, so it's a bit of a moot point, but I miiiiight have given you SOMETHING if you DID hit with it, just nothing really that intended by the activity itself.
FYI I'm heading out on a fairly long trip from next week, November 4th to the 24th. I haven't yet decided whether I'm going to take my laptop, but I'll have my phone at least. I will definitely be posting with a reduced frequency though.
Running around today like a chicken with my head cut off. Things are calming down a bit. Also, for those not in the know, the Paizo website is gonna be down from 11/3 to...I believe 11/5 (I'd need to double-check)

Yeah, the first draft of the post had a Recall Knowledge question relating to whether or not they could be dispelled and an If/Then split in spoilers about which actions Ajoran would take, but then the post got lost and I didn't have it in me to recreate all that on a 15 minute break.
Ah well, it is what it is.
Hero Points have reset
I make no promises that I'll be able to get a post in before the website goes dark at noon.
So now my 2024-2025 bingo card consists of "graduated," "got my first full-time job," "met the love of my life," "got engaged," "bought a house," "got married," and finally "got fired a week after my wedding."
Ugh.
Oh no! I just read that. I'm sorry. What happened?
It's a....really long story.
Alright, things are now back and running. I'll try to get a post going tomorrow. I...really did need this past week away from the forums because I just...it was a lot...
I'm sorry to hear about all that. Glad to be back, but I'm also happy you got the time off.
FYI, Yujin, Ajoran realized early on that these things are constructs, so…immunity to void and vitality.
You know, I kinda feel bad that we're fighting this lady. Partially because oozemorph is pretty much my favorite thing to ever come out of Pathfinder, and partially because she clearly has a better version than the playable 2e archetype.
In a kinder timeline, she and Ajoran would be sharing anatomy stories between sermons.
I didn’t realize constructs meant immunity to void damage. I’ll pick something else.
I didn't equate void damage to being the new negative energy. I still had Sanguine Mist listed as dealing negative energy damage so that threw me off. I'll update it to void damage as well.

No post today; American Thanksgiving. Spend time with your loved ones.
Hero Points have reset
To work so I can't edit the docc but I'll say the body not in melee with the dwarf is the real one.
FYI, Yujin, you might wanna note in your saves that you get a +1 to AC and saves against divine magic, because I didn't realize that and I know that bonus would've come up multiple times before.
I believe we actually decided it was a +1 bonus against occult magic because Yujin's dragonblood is sovereign/omen dragon.
It is on my character sheet but I will put it in a more prominent place as well.
In that case, then you should probably replace Divine Dragonblood with Occult Dragonblood.
Oh, I see where I missed that. I will update.
Ok, fixing that feat changed a few minor things.
For losing Divine Dragonblood, I lost +1 Initiative and Achaekek Lore skill.
For gaining Occult Dragonblood, I gain Occult skill and Oddity Identification feat.
I think the belt of long life would be best for Suryo or Ajoran.
Same, both take a lot of hits being in combat. Suryo would get more hit points out of it though
Do we actually know any good secrets to share?
I guess Lowl's whole plot may have some things they don't know?
Ahem Wrong campaign, Suryo.
And to answer your question, Yujin: these secrets do not have to be plot-relevant. Nor do they necessarily have to even be true.
Haha... righto-o :sweats: That's what I get for posting quickly at work.
I'm, uh, gonna invalidate that last post from Suryo (with the Opportune Backstab) because I already had one written in my post and I've had a bit of a day and don't want to rework all that stuff.
welp, I certainly like your roll for it so, yeah :D
I hope your evening is better than the day!

By the way, uh...I'm basically gonna say that we have Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off. Go spend time with your family.
Hope everyone is having a great holiday break!
I'll try to get something up soon. Been spending a lot of my free time with emergency car shopping, so it's been busy.
Hero Points reset in a week
Also, I don’t think I’ll be able to get to a post today; post-Christmas hit me really hard.
Take your time.
I’ll see if I can later, but as of right now I’m not confident I’ll get a post in today; the holidays are still kicking our butts.
No worries. Enjoy the holiday.
I have the week off and I'm sick so bleh!
Being sick on the holiday is a bummer. I hope it passes quickly!
Sorry that I’ve been so spotty recently; first Christmas season as a father/husband and I’m just…I promise I’ll be back to regular posting soon. Today I’m just…tired.
