I think our team works a lot better as a unit than to have someone try to solo them, so that would be my preference. Also so that everyone gets to participate.
Also this is now a good time to level up to 14th.
You can safely rest in Kul-inkit's rooms.
Sorry, ran out of time to update. Mondays!
"I dont like mondays..."
"TELL ME WHAT!"
"I don't like mondaaaays."
"TELL ME WHAT."
I wonder if anyone else gets that reference :') Sigh probably should have posted that, a bit random i suppose.

"I want to shoot the whole day down."
I did get it, one of the big ones for my generation.
Is everyone leveled up and ready to go?
I have ZERO idea what the reference is about.
I'm not leveled but let's just keep going. Hopefully, I can get to it by the weekend. Both him and Uma. My weekend is going to be super busy so I'm not real positive about it but we'll see.
Regardless, let's just keep trucking and I'll deal.
"I don't like Mondays." By the Boomtown rats. 1979.
About a girl who shot up her school and killed two people in Cleveland USA.
When asked why she'd done it she responded "I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day."
Saddest thing is this was 44 years ago and school shootings are still common in America. :(
Sorry, been a busy busy week. My youngest has started full time pre-k and its been a battle. I will do the level up shortly.

Leveling.
Gained another die to my sneak attack. Added 10 skill points. No BAB or save increase. :(
Cleric 14:
+8 hp, +1 bab, +1 fort, +1 will, +1 6th and 7th level spellslot. That's it, sadly.
Oh, right, 5 skill points. Guess I'll put 1 in diplomacy and 4 in bluff with how often I've been using the latter, then engineering and history as background skills.
@DBH thanks for putting that list together!
@Everyone if no one claimed the +2 elven chain mail I'll have Elrys equip is as it is a huge upgrade to her AC.
Everyone levelled up and ready to rumble?
Ready here.
I picked up a nice new hex, fun stuff there. Also picked up Insanity and Greater Teleport for new spells.
Yep, ready to go.
Good to have you back Raktar.
It's a big update so I'll do it tomorrow. Running short on time again.
Ready as well, just updating the header. I'll try and go through the profile later tonight.
Edit: Header has the accurate stats assuming the 13 minute duration of Good Hope casted just before encountering the consort has not run out yet. If it has, Elrys would recast it on everyone prior to meeting the Sovereign. She would also cast moment of glory on everyone prior to meeting the sovereign.
Sorry, no update. Health not good at the moment.
Whoops, seems I forgot to roll SM vs the guard. But at SM +26 (forgot to add good hope and the bonus is also 2 higher than I thought it was, high wisdom OP?), Elrys cannot fail that check.
@Everyone I feel like it shouldn't be purely my decision if we finish this diplomatically and evade a fight here if that is what people prefer.
If we do though, it feels like the next diplo check might be the last one. What should Elrys mention to really turn him on the League? I am inclined towards some passionate plea regarding how his people are being abused elsewhere in the nation, or even inside the city, while they seek to control him via drugs. However, as I was only here from near the start of book 4, I don't have too many of those examples. I can make stuff up, sure, but maybe others can chime in on what they've seen throughout the books regarding the League's many crimes?
I am happy to avoid the fight or limit how many we have to fight if it goes that way. Dilana does not have much to offer in this sort of situation (Diplomacy +0 and Sense Motive +1) as she can't really read people any better then my three year old can.
I mean, sure, but are there any particularly vile acts the technic league has performed during this campaign, to reference them? I havent seen at least the first half and only really encountered the slayer they sent to the scar of the spider to scout it. And the drugs here.
The vibe I get is this guy mostly only cares about himself so I recommend focusing in that direction. I am fine avoiding the fight with diplo if that can work, but we might need to take out the guy who is about to interfere.
Olimpia was owned by the Technic league and considered is slavery. But I doubt if this guy cares about that.
So, I leave on Thursdays and will be out of the country until the 30th. My wife convinced me to allow myself to be trapped on a large boat with strangers and then told me that TTRPGs are not a valid conversation starter. Every night I get to sit with my family and strangers at the same table to eat dinner. We will see how this goes. If you don't hear from me send help.
I'm going in for a couple of procedures on Wednesday. Today I am preparing for those procedures. These are a Colonoscopy and a Gastroendoscopy. Preparations are very unpleasant. :)
Hopefully this will find the source of my internal problems and get a solution sorted.
So no update today or tomorrow. I hope by Thursday I will have recovered.
The procedures went well. The prep is indeed the worst part.
Nothing wrong with my stomach, a couple of minor problems in my colon which were quickly and painlessly fixed there and then. Sadly no sign of what could be causing my anemia? So more tests I guess.
I did have to stop taking the iron tablets 5 days before the procedure and it was very noticeable how much I need them. Back on them now and feeling slightly better.
I'm taking today off to recover as flushing your insides out the cameras get a clear view does throw you off. :)
Good to hear things went well, DBH. I wish for a speedy recovery!

Yea, I feel you. I am not a cruise person either.
Apologies. I'm running late today so no update.
I just wanted to ask, out of curiosity: when I made Elrys, the recruitment thread stated that knowledge: engineering and heal as skills would be very good to have. However, I don't think there have been that many opportunities to actually use either? Have we missed story-related important uses of those along the way since the start of book 4?
I could have been mistaken. In my live game of Iron gods my Cleric had both at maximum. He was constantly installing cyberware which uses those two skills. We had a cyberware based character but sadly they dropped out in the last book.
Heal is for installing Cyberware in a willing patient.
Knowledge Engineering lets you identify Cyberware. So it is important, but not as important as Heal.
And as a broad hint there are a number of pieces of cyberware to come that are very desirable. :)
Luthor has those. +23 Heal and +16 Know: Enginnering.
Plus, he has these handy cool gloves
I totally did not remember that he had those. Makes me wonder what else he has that I've forgotten about. :P
...
No, I did not add it. I guess I should've waited for you first but I figured I'd better go ahead and go just in case it's another day or two before I can post. And I typically don't add anything until the person who throws out all the bonuses posts. Just feels like I'm cheating. :P
And for some crazy reason, I do NOT have Rapid Shot. Weird. I've no idea why I haven't chosen that one already. No idea. *shrugs*
.
That'll work. Won't argue that one. :)
Back from the cruise. It was a little different post covid but that worked better for me. The biggest change was that, instead of tables of ten with random people, you ate with the people you are traveling with. That removed 90% of the forced talking to strangers for me so it was a win.
Overall I would say it was a good experience.
Glad the procedure didn't find anything bad at least GM. Hope your feeling better and they sort it soon.
No update as Monday has ambushed me sorry.
The book says you should be level 15 when attacking the League headquarters. So get to leveling up.
It takes time to gather the Sovereigns forces so you do have time to rest and memorize spells etc.
Is the league headquarters where we would allegedly find unity or is that further below the city?
The city is called Silvermount as it's built against the mound made by the crashed spaceship which is where Unity is at the moment.
The Technic league controls the only way in so dealing with them first works best for you.
The league headquarters holds all the Technic league leaders. Lots of high level Technomancers to meet and have fun with.
And finally i get Spell Penetration.
Everyone leveled up and ready to move on?
I h ave leveled and will update my alias tonight.

Olimpia is updated.
The main thing she picked up is Spring Heeled Reaping which lets her Spring Attack two different targets as a full round action.
Just waiting for Luthor to check in.
Let's just keep rolling. I've got him leveled up in herolabs except for his feat. I just don't have him leveled on his profile. Probably be the weekend before I can get that done.
@DbH thanks. Do we actually have 6 six days to prepare or do we not, for that bow enchant? Afaik there isn't immediate narritive pressute but 6 days does feel like a long time. How long does the Sovereign need?
Sadly no. You have 2 days at the most.
No word from Ghartone or Tek-makul? The Sovereign is gathering troops? Something is up!
I can tell you there will be plenty of time for shopping and upgrading after dealing with the League, before you travel to and enter Silvermount to find Unity.
Cool, well no problem. I'll just buy a third stack of arrows and for now and get right to adventuring!
