Is 13 the number of victims needed to summon forth a Leukodaemon and bring upon the world a plague of massive proportion. One that will require social distancing of not 1 but 2 5 foot squares.
Is 12 the number of current sacrifices?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Please do a follow up,
also cudos to the artist.. I love how the blood is redder and thicker at the bottom of the clock and washed out at the top.

So I don't know how closely Paizo is looking at the Beowolf Saga , but it has been clearly established by Beowolf scholars that Grendel's Mother looks like a sparkly Angelina Jolie. I hope for Paizo's sake, the art and any future adventure path's will reflect this fact.

I guess the squirrelwind is a smaller version of the dreaded squirrelnado. Also not to be confused with the Polar Vortex which is the same thing but with Polar bears.

This will require some set up. and it's technically 2 lines

DM: Me

3.5 Forgotten Realms Home campaign (CSI Waterdeep)

PC's were on a remote island miles south of Chult, trying to track down a lost group of wild dwarves. The PC's stumble into the lair of an awakened evil T-Rex Wizard. They know he was a wizard by his conical hat and a wand in his tiny hand.
They decide to talk to the T-rex, which I hadn't planned for. So I had the T-rex go into this spiel about how island life had become boring. And in reflection he realizes that boredom and anger over being trapped had affected his mental health and led to him doing some evil things. What he really wanted was to pursue his dream of getting off the island and get an apprenticeship under a wizard in Waterdeep.

So this exchange ensues:

Fighter: Can he fit on our boat, even, he's got to be many tons.

Cleric: can we shrink him maybe?

Sorceror: I don't know if we'll even have enough food.

Cleric: I can create water, but I don't know if I can create enough food.

Bard: We'll maybe he can swim behind the boat and hunt whales or something.

Barbarian: Are they going to allow him in Waterdeep?

Then the rogue (who later on, actively betrays the party and assists in the destruction of the Dragon mythal, and helping to build a planar gate that brought invading armies of dragon-like aliens, in exchange for gold.) says:

"I can't believe I have to be the moral compass for this party. NO, WE WILL NOT take an evil T-Rex Wizard back to Waterdeep."

I hate the name Norgorber (pronounced NOR-gore-ber)... I feel like it's baby talk.

also sounds like Golarion fast food...
"Welcome to Norgorber, Home of the Norgorburger"

After fighting scarecrows, you find a locked chest... filled with straw.

My college roommate put me through this in first edition:

Deep underground, You come around a corner, the tunnel you are in continues another 10 feet and stops at a 5' wide chasm that drops 80 feet or more . Across the chasm the tunnel continues for another 15' and turns right.

Perception check (DC 10) to notice a shadowy humanoid figure peak its head around the corner and start to run as soon as it sees you. roll initiative.

The far tunnel and the shadowy figure are illusions. and all that is across the chasm is a solid rock face.

For some reason, the shadowy figure running away makes players throw all caution to the wind and jump into far wall.

95. A mob of farmers and peasants following the PCs at a safe distance They are waiting for them to kill something, hoping to pick up a discarded shield or a backpack and "strike it rich".

96. Ship captains that refuse to give adventurers passage because their ships only get attacked when adventurers are on-board.

I don't like to throw darkness spells and clouds. Not because they are difficult for the players. It just adds an hour to every encounter.

Did you hear about the cleric who was killed by an icicle?
He died of cold cuts

One other thought,
... you kind of still have to specialize into one or two types of spirits when you assign your stats. This is counter to the design for this class as I understand it, which is for it to be able to be a back-up to almost any role.

as it is now..
I'm going strength/ charisma & con, in that order and maybe I put some points into intelligence if I want to use the knowledge spirits..
because I would like to do some damage at lvs 1-4.

so I have to drop the dex & con & int spirits if they are doing something that is based on a dice roll/ skill check / maneuver check be cause the stat bonus is not there.

The other option is to crack out my charisma & just resign myself to the fact that I don't get spells until 4th & i'm going to be "bear" with a low strength.
When I think of a medium, I think of a fortune teller or some guy in Victorian-style clothing. Schwarzenegger is not someone that comes to mind.
I think this is a problem.

I don't think it would be too outrageous to have a power that let you substitute the Medium's charisma score or (charisma score -2) for either their dex, st, int or con based on the primary spirit's type. As long as it applied only when using the Medium's powers.
