<p>- Burn It seems to be the strongest ancestry feat par none. Unless everyone and their mum has fire resistance at high levels. If you want to be a Bomb-Focused Alchemist or a Blasty Mage, Goblin 100% seems to be the way to go just for that feat. Really hope we get over options like it for other classes later on.</p>
<p>- Alchemist. Very strong class. Lots of fun combos and abilities. I like it! ... Nothing more to say, really.</p>
<p>- No god of righteous combat using negative energy to smite down foes? Only way to be a good cleric but use negative energy is by worshipping the neutral god of magic? D:</p>
<p>- Druids are awesome. Wild & Animal order especially come across as awesome. And they still have their summoning capabilities, awesome.</p>
<p>- Fighter. The Open/Press keywords definitely give the fighter a lot more to think about, and are a lot less kid-friendly than before because of it... I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing tbh. Love some of the feat chains though, especially the extra reactions.</p>
<p>- Monk. Really wish the original stances got more focus, instead of transitioning purely into the other stances.</p>
<p>- Why do we only get master and legendary proficiency in heavy armour? Why can’t we get master and legendary proficiency in medium armour as a Paladin or Fighter?</p>
<p>- ... So is the Paladin the new Ranger now? Most of the others give me a strong Favoured Enemy Vibe. </p>
<p>- Shield of Reckoning doesn’t clarify if the Retributive Strike is a free action or not. </p>
<p>- So the fighting gets a free AoO and a free Shield Block if they want to... and the Paladin, despite being the Legendary Shields dude, doesn’t? Or a free Retributive Strike? That seems bad.</p>
<p>- Also, if your giving characters the same feat. Shouldn't you just come up for a term to refer to these feats and have classes able to access these groups? Like 'combat' or 'divine' or 'arcane'?</p>
<p>- Not convinced on Ranger’s Snares.</p>
<p>- Also, where’s the Rangers ‘Your AC can make 1 action even if you don’t command it this turn’ ability? Druid’s have it. Paladin’s have it. Cavalier’s have it. So why don’t Ranger’s have it?</p>
<p>- Also familiar’s suck. Apart from the extra Cantrip, none of abilities for master or not are off any use.</p>
<p>- Sorcerer is awesome, good at blasty and focusing on a single spell. I like it.</p>
<p>- Wizard is surprisingly awesome too. Universalist wizards get an extra spell at each spell level? Which Focus Conservation turns into an extra spell at each level but the two highest? And does Superior Focus just add +1 more use, +1 more use per level per day? Either way. Universalist Wizards be laughing at all this spells they have!</p>
<p>- Also metamagic’s suck. I mean, seriously. Not a single one gets my interest except the -10 resistance once. </p>
<p>- Formatting. For the love of god. Please. Stop formatting everything alphabetically! Have the general feats in one group, then the skill feats organized by skill! Organize the different spell lists by level and type! Organize the different magical items by type! Please, format properly!</p>
<p>- Oh and on the topic of formatting. Clean up the classes, please. We don't need every class reminding us about skill increases/skill feats/ability increases/ancestors feats when their all the same! Please, cut the damn space and leave them in the tables!</p>
<p>- Plus, have the powers that feats grant you displayed in the feat block. Making us go and check the spell, later on, is just frustrating.</p>
<p>- Ritual’s are neat though, and potentially hilarious. Pure Fighter party, coming right up to resurrect your dead folks! </p>
<p>- Multiclassing. Clerics give me 2 slots in level 1-8 spells. Rogue's give me 1d6 sneak attack damage. Seriously, what the hell?</p>
<p>- 100% not sold on Trinkets. </p>
<p>- Why bother with Twin and Charge keywords when only one weapon has Twin and only one weapon has Charge?</p>
<p>- Also Snare’s should not cost gp when normal weapons & armour cost SP. That’s just still. </p>
<p>- Not sure if the lower level consumables shouldn’t be in SP as well, especially the bombs...</p>
<p>- Oh and on that note, sad there isn’t any non-level 1 bombs. Considering Alchemist specified you can only empower level 1 bombs, I was really hoping there was more than just the level 1 collection, but nope! Sad days.</p>
<p>- Really don’t like shield’s needing to be raised. Can’t they give us a permanent bonus, then an increased bonus for raising them instead? Oh and why can’t cover stack with shield AC? That’s just silly. </p>
<p>And there we go. My initial impressions. Mix of good and bad imo, and we’ll have to wait and see how everything unfolds!</p>Okay, I just spent about half a day going over the playtest document and doing my best to pay attention to pretty much everything it has or doesn’t has, and now I have my initial thoughts about it!

And you respond by saying that the post is evidence that I am a slick, manipulative troll. Then you go back and re-read my old posts, and state that I have been an antagonizing bully?!

<p>I make a post, opening up to you about my difficulties. Openly admitting to you my flaws and apologizing for it. Hoping that my explanation will help you understand why there have been misunderstandings in the past, and how these misunderstandings might help us avoid them in the future...</p>
<p>And... and you see this as an attempt to manipulate you? You see me as some type of slick, manipulative troll, for making a post opening up about my flaws and disability?</p>
<p>That after I took the time to give you time to breathe and think about the decision rationally, that after I gave everyone else time to mull the situation over, and did my best to reach out to you, in order to work best the issues that you've only just fully communicated to me... your going to be going with a 'gut feeling' here?</p>
<p>Just... what?</p>
<p>... If this were play'd upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction...</p>... You have got to be kidding me.

Enough time for the initial emotions to cool down, for other voices to join in the conversation and state their own opinions on the matter. Enough time for people to step back, and look at the situation in a more rational matter. Hopefully now, we’ll be able to properly discuss this matter.</p>
<p>And I think it is best to start with an explanation about myself. As a high-functioning member of the autism spectrum, I have difficulties in certain areas of social interaction. The subtleties of conversation and more important the tone of a speech from the choice of words and statements is undoubtedly the most challenging part of social interaction for me. Once you take into account that the fact that communication over the internet is done almost entirely through emotionless text, without any further social cues like body language or facial expressions.</p>
<p>It is, quite frankly, a recipe for misunderstanding. </p>
<p>For example, when I made my post last page, pointing out the fact that Zadiel hadn’t actually used his Spontaneous Resurrection. I was simply amused at how Nameless’ dramatic rescue had been forgotten twice now. Probably because it really wasn’t all that dramatic and was a rather anticlimactic reveal of himself to the others, an error on my part. Monkeygod however, <i>from what I can tell</i>, took my post as a complaint. Going with his following post discussing ‘your whining’. Which in turn, lead to the recent... discussion between myself, Monkeygod, and the rest of the people involved in this RP. Which, I admittedly did not handle with the greatest of grace, reacting in a far too defensive manner at the start, and for which I apologize.</p>
<p>Then there is the straw. The passive-aggressive post that I made with Nameless. I completely and utterly failed to realize the fact that it was a passive-aggressive response until I showed a good friend of mine what I had posted. As up until he laid it out to me, I simply wasn’t able to see where my error was. Again, I apologize for the fact that my post was actually passive-aggressive, despite the fact that it hadn’t been the </p>
<p>Which, now leads me to the reason why you are uncertain at my continued participation in this roleplay Yasss... my attitude. On a personal level, I do not believe that my attitude has been such a significant issue that it would require me to be removed from this game. However, as I am very aware of the fact that it is very easy for me to misjudge the tone of my posts and the mood of other people. I can only offer an apologize for whenever my actions have caused you grief and frustration. The sheer potential, scope and possibilities that this game has provided is unlike any other game I have ever come across before, and I do not think there has ever been a game that I have ever been more excited about and invested in seeing develop over time. The fact that I have not come across as this is a fact that I can only apologize for... and hope that my explanation has helped you understand that it has never been my intention to cause trouble within this game. </p>
<p>If, after this explanation of how many of these mistakes have come about... If, after my apologies for the mistakes I have made... and if, after the others have voiced their own opinions on the matter, you still wish for me to leave... I will. I don’t want to. I don’t want to see my journey in this game stopped short before it could really begin. I don’t want to miss Nameless having a chance to grow and develop, to face the sins of his past, and come to terms with who he is. I don’t want all of the work and effort I’ve put into recording all of his numbers and abilities (and <i>still</i> forgetting half of them!), to go to waste...</p>
<p>But, you are the DM Yass. It's your call in the end.</p>
<p>... And as for that post of mine, where I gave into my anger and frustration? I can only give you my deep, sincere apologies for that post. Alongside a wish that I had been able to delete it, once the spur of the moment emotions had passed, and I realized how stupid of an action it had been.</p>
<p>Quite frankly, the fact that Paizo denies me the ability to delete or edit my posts after an hour has passed, just makes it so much easier for me to make mistakes...</p>

You are absolutely right. The power disparity between the different characters of this game is tremendous. Where on the one hand we have Alyssa, who at this moment in time is only a little stronger than your average commoner, and on the other hand we have characters like Vulture King flying around, who is a literal, and mechanical, God. Nameless’ own power levels, and the huge amount of resources and abilities that I’ve been pouring into his character makes the situation even worse, meaning that its nigh-impossible to give the party a challenge that is on par of all of their abilities without simply curb-stomping several of the weaker members into the ground.</p>
<p>But, isn’t that half the point of this game?</p>
<p>Yasss specifically stated that they were accepting anything and everything for this game. Whatever character you wanted, whatever flavour you wanted, and whatever mechanics you wanted. No matter how ludicrously overpowered or stupidly stuffed full of abilities that might make them. Or, no matter how surprisingly, laughable weak and pathetic it might have made them. Such an broad and open character creation means that it's almost impossible to avoid there being a significant disprancy of power between characters. Perhaps not to the extent that we are currently seeing... but undoubtedly expected to a rather significant degree.</p>
<p>Because of this, you can’t try and DM this game like this is an ordinary campaign, where you try and draw up challenges that challenge the entire party, and give them each an equal time to shine from a mechanical standpoint. This is a game where you have to balance the mechanical challenges of the characters, with the <i>thematic</i> and <i>emotional</i> challenges of the characters. Characters such as Alyssa, Zaidel and Kei? They will likely need mechanical challenges just as much as thematic and emotional challenges. Tough, powerful opponents that they will have to work together in order to overcome, learning how to work together as a team and pooling their abilities. Allocating their resources in the best possible manner to defeat the threats against them. </p>
<p>For a character such as Nameless however? The challenges have to be more on the emotional side of the RP. Testing how the endless march of time had left the powerful warrior numb to the world around him, and the struggles of his allies. Seeing whenever or not it is possible for someone with such a storied pass could come to regret the many sins he had inflicted over the aeons of his life, without being driven to the point of insanity due to the weight of these sins... and seeing how long his investment in the party, and their individual quests may be, when even now, there seems to be little he can find that can challenge him.</p>
<p>This game was always going to have a power disparity. Trying to eliminate it, is just going to eliminate what makes this game so unique and fascinating.</p>... You know what Monkeygod? Your right.

<p>“I got to stop doing that.” He grouched, shaking his head in frustration as the lamppost came spinning back to his hand. As he lifted up his hand to catch it, however, a thought swiftly came to mind... the Vulture King proclaimed himself to be a god, and from what he could tell, that was actually a true fact. And whilst it wasn’t always their domain, the power to bring the dead back to life was one of the most common of their abilities...</p>
<p>Okay, admittedly he himself had that power. But it tends to be rather draining, and he had the suspicion that the others might be quite interested to learn more about the Apogee Society, considering how they seemed to be linked to it. So it would be a much better use of his time for him to direct the Vulture King to the resurrection of the legendary gunslinger, and to do that, their current opponent would have to be dealt with. So as the lampost entered into his hand, he would use the momentum to swiftly redirect it and send it spinning towards that giant worm.</p>

<p>As it was, however... there was a more important fact involved at this moment in time. <b>“Roland King... lover of the Seer of Apogee...”</b> He would muse, even as he seemed to flicker before the gunslinger’s eyes.

It was almost insulting honestly. How all these people sprung into action in order to fight against these shadows. The godling and the god fighting together, back to back against this deadly shadows, whilst the martial artist was battling against a giant worm that could devastate the city single-handedly if not stopped. All whilst more exploding skeletons fell from the sky to massacre its inhabitants... yet not once did they stop and actually ask him to help.</p>
<p>Then again, these individuals didn’t seem to have much, if any, knowledge about who he was, or how he operated. So quite frankly he couldn’t entirely blame them for this... and then again, even those people who did have knowledge of himself would probably struggle to understand what made him decide to step in and join a fight, and what made him decide not to do so. Hence why he wasn’t insulted by the fact that they hadn’t directly asked him for his aid. That, and he didn’t really care anyway.</p>
<p>Still... it seemed that this battle was not going to be without some interest... there always were people whom seemed invested in taking him out, and killing him for one reason or another. So when this cigar smoking, leather-jacket wearing Stranger turned up, ignoring the chaos and battle around them in order to focus entirely on him... calling him out and stating that he was out for his head. It was almost impressive how calm and brave he was. This Stranger undoubtedly knew his reputation, and from his own words, knew just how much of a challenge it would be to actually kill him... yet. The Stranger was still willing to try.</p>
<p>Hence, Nameless stood away from the wall he was leaning against. Grabbing the lamppost that was his weapon and resting it against his shoulder, as he replied to the question asked to him. <b>“What is your name?”</b> For those who challenged him, despite knowing who he was... Nameless liked to remember them.</p>... It was almost insulting honestly. How all these people sprung into action in order to fight against these shadows. The godling and the god fighting together, back to back against this deadly shadows, whilst the martial artist was battling against a giant worm that could devastate the city single-handedly if not stopped. All whilst more exploding skeletons fell from the sky to massacre its inhabitants... yet not once did they stop and actually ask him to help.
Then again, these...The Nameless Warrior (alias of Fury of the Tempest)2018-05-05T11:41:12ZRe: Forums: Play-by-Post: Welcome to the Other Side!The Nameless Warrior (alias of Fury of the Tempest)https://paizo.com/campaigns/WelcomeToTheOtherSide/gameplay&page=23#11012018-04-17T20:15:44Z2018-04-17T20:15:44Z<p>He didn’t even flicker when portals opened up from above, and undead began to rain down from the sky.</p>
<p>From the explosions that followed, as well as the screaming, shouting and crying. It seemed that some of these undead exploded upon death. Doing even more damage to the city and its people, reflect the zealous nature of the being that had likely summoned them. It the gates hadn’t already been opened and many of its citizens already evacuated, then it was unlikely that many Al'Lamar’ citizens would survive. As it was through... it was quite likely that it was going to be a bloodbath. Especially if the necromantic powers that guided these undead to wreak havoc on the city below, was going to take those slain by the undead creatures, and raise them again as new warriors to fill the ranks.</p>
<p>Yet, he did nothing. Despite his tremendous reputation, despite the strength and might, he had at his fingertips. He did nothing. The plight of the city was nothing to him, and the allies he decided to watch over seemed strong and resilient. Enough to stand against the threat of this army, even if they were forced to retreat because of it. He had no reason to fight, these creatures could not even lay a single scratch on him, let alone prove to be a challenge in any way. No, he would stay, observing the Vulture King as well as Zaidel. Watching to see what they would do, curious about their strength, their power... and whenever or not one of them would remember him and ask for assistance.</p>He didn’t even flicker when portals opened up from above, and undead began to rain down from the sky.

He would just respond with a brief, flat, unimpressed look. As what else would he be doing at this in time? Exploring the city whilst everyone had evacuated, so there weren’t many people to get in his way or cause issue if he decided to go poking around some of the non-public buildings or shady areas?</p>
<p>... Okay, so he had done that from time to time, yes, but that wasn’t the point. The point was that he was with the group now, and there was the entire thing of Vulture King loudly declaring that he was putting the entire darn city under his protection for reasons that he just did not understand in the slightest... actually wait if the Vulture King did successfully protect the city, then as a god it was likely going to earn him a lot of notoriety and from that notoriety, worshipers. So he supposed he could understand the Vulture King’s motives, assuming that those motives were the correct ones that had prompted the Vulture King’s actions. If they weren’t... then he likely couldn’t understand the motives.</p>
<p>Motives aside. Vulture King had put the city under his protection, and being that he had no desire to see them die on him, when they had been giving him such tantalizing clues towards the history, the reason for his beyond-human ability and longevity, when he had been moving closer towards his purpose than ever before... so if one of them was going to get into a fight. He was going to be there to make sure they didn’t die.</p>
<p>Or at least, unless he got bored. And even then, he was only going to ensure they didn’t die. It didn’t mean he was automatically going to join every fight. Like this one, against this zealous Nightmare. There really was no interest here, so whilst the others would fight - Zaidel climbing a building, Bage launching a fire blast - he would lean against a house wall. Casually watching what was going on. Having no real desire to get involved unless completely and utterly necessary.</p>When Zaidel would call out to him, suggesting that he should go and help Vulture King, that avain god that was somehow part of the group.

<p>In his experience, education and wealth tended to go hand in hand. The more educated the general public, the easier it was for them to gain wealth, and for the nation to flourish as well. So hearing that the Al'Lamar was a rich city, despite the fact it had banned learning and education of any kind was unusual. Through from what he had learned the ban had been within a single generation, so it undoubtedly meant that the wealth hadn’t been drained away fully yet.</p>
<p>That and the rumours of the Thieves Guild reporting directly to the nobles meant that most of the wealth was likely focused extremely heavily on the top of the people of the city. With the strange disappearances of young men potentially linked to the wealth of the city despite its lack of education. Admittedly there were hundreds of different reasons why young men could have vanished with the authority none the wiser. Hard to tell which one it was without further investigation, and he really didn’t see much reason to investigate any further into the matter.</p>
<p>Then a massive city suddenly appeared overhead. Followed by a giant figure flying out from it and shouting that it had judged the citizens of Al’Lamar and had found them guilty. With the punishment being death.</p>
<p>Whilst this announcement sent most people both within and without the city into a frenzy of fear and chaos, fleeing from the city as best they could and causing a huge crush. He stood still and just yawned. Seriously, these zealots never changed. Always hammering on about sin and purity and how only death could absolve people of sin yadda yadda yadda... if he didn’t have a group of people that might have an answer to his existence. He probably would have just turned around and walked the other way. Dealing with Zealots got old real fast.</p>
<p>But, he had a group. So when the gates were actually opened to let people through. He would walk against the flow. People either letting him past, or him being able to weave through the crowd with a skill and grace that bordered on unnatural, and was undoubtedly eerie to watch. His reliable and famous lamppost resting against his shoulder as he walked through the crowd. Spying the one known as Zaidel as he turned back away from the crowd and moved to follow after him. It was certain that he was moving to join up with the rest of the group, and once there he fully intended to learn how they wished to deal with this zealot.</p>Hmmm.

<p>That, and he was curious about this land and its people. So he wouldn't go into the city upon arriving. Instead, after wrapping the lamp top so people wouldn’t be able to easily identify him. He would move through the camp, looking for information.</p>

He had thought that this Alyssa was a bit self-delusional due to how... insistent she had been in regards to the fact that the current goings-on was a dream. However, not only did she have a strong philosophical argument for such a case. She actually managed to come up with a strong reasoning as to how to accept evidence of how this might not be a dream, as well as being willing to risk the use of a wish in order to test her theory...</p>
<p>And then being able to accept the result. Noting that whilst it was possible that she was still dreaming, it was now much more unlikely then it had been previously. Quite impressive, not many people that he knew off could make such an argument, whilst also be willing to accept the results.

<p>It was pleasant, these continuous surprises. Though when the offer was made to just teleport them to the city, he would shake his head, saying. <b>“Not a fan of magic unless necessary.

<p>It seemed that the group had decided that travel was the best option, heading to the nearby city and hopefully the library there to help find some answers. It wasn’t the worst idea in the world, and quite frankly he couldn’t be bothered to see if any old contacts of his could be of aid at the moment. So instead, he decided to just tag along with them, see what the might turn up. Honestly, it had actually been a while since he had just taken a back seat and just gone for the ride. </p>
<p>Kinda refreshing that the others weren’t freaking out about his reputation. Even if he was rather sure that the fey-lord-guy was the only one that actually <i>knew</i> his reputation at the moment... oh well. Of course, when they began discussing the fact that not all of them had given away the Hydra eggs away to the Lady of the Woods and were actually looking forward to raising them, he decided to put forward his own thoughts. <b>“Personally Hydras aren’t all that difficult to raise. Size and heads aside, their just an animal. Raising a <i>child</i> on the other hand... now that’s a challenge.”</b> Which, was a bit ironic for him to say, considering they soon started bantering about sex and virility and the like... through he decided not to add anything else himself. He... didn’t like talking about certain material if he wasn’t asked.</p>[Spoiler omitted]

It seemed that the... godling, was it? Had a bit of an adverse reaction to explosives, if the fact that his instinct to the thrown bomb was to protect the female who so far seemed to be the weakest of the party.</p>
<p>Seemed anyway. He didn’t doubt for a second she did not have abilities of her own, it was just a matter of her coming to realise them herself.</p>
<p>Either way, it was still information that was taken and filed away for future use. What this future use might be precisely was uncertain, as it was extremely difficult to plan for the future. But it could be useful to give him a warning next time he needed to use a bomb for example... or us it to help cover a potential escape if he ended up opposed to the group in some form or another. And that was just the two first examples that popped into his head, there was likely many, many more.</p>
<p>Regardless, it seemed that some of the others were approaching him down, asking a very obvious question... to which, he had no answer. <b>“No idea.”</b> He replied honestly when he was asked just exactly who he was. His voice was deep and powerful. As if it was used to speak in royal courts, or communicating across battlefields instead of simple fields like this one. Still, his voice had a slight scratchy husk to it, as if it had been a while since he had used it. <b>“I have a reputation - your friend Liriiestil might have heard of it, or perhaps the army you have now - but it doesn’t tell me who I am.”</b> Casually shrugging away the fact he had admitted that he had little idea who he was despite the fact that his previous actions made it clear that he knew about his reputation very well. He turned to the second question: <b>“As for the lamp. A normal weapon got too boring. Decided to grab a lamppost out of the side of the road and use it instead. See if it would be a better challenge.”</b> He would then scratch the side of his neck as he glanced off sideways into space. <b>“I think that was say... Two, three thousand years ago now? Something like that I think. After a while people just got so used to it I decided I might as well keep it around.”</b> There was a pause before the very faintest curling upwards graced his lips. <b>“Plus I still get a vague semblance of amusement when I defeat an ancient embodiment of evil or a holy paragon of holiness with a simple lamp post.”</b> Pause, shrug and turn back to the others. <b>“The evil ones tend to have the better reactions. All those tears, sobbing and wailing of the holy tend to get dull.”</b></p>Hmmm. It seemed that the... godling, was it?

<p>Pun intended.</p>
<p>Still, one of the demons seemed to fail their attempt to teleport away, whilst the mental magic that was manipulating the Saiyan was still in control. Nothing that he couldn’t deal with, of course, just mildly irritating that he did. Still, he had committed himself to aiding this group now, so he would aid them fully. A few moments of consideration was all that he needed to figure out what to do. Digging into his pockets, he swiftly pulled out the miscellaneous material that he needed to swiftly construct a bomb. One that he lit and threw off... not at the Marilith, but to the side of it. So it was caught in the blast but the Elf wasn’t.</p>
<p>Not that he was worried about catching the Elf mind you. But the Marilith clearly wanted to get away, but it was summoned so it had to obey its orders... so he decided to try and dispel the magic that was holding her here instead of just smacking her down. Not to mention he had found that the explosions of bombs and firearms were surprisingly useful in helping others clear their heads.</p>

<p>Sure, Kami had already proven himself to be a creature of significant influence to have so many spies following this group. As well as being a being of immense ambition in order to risk the wrath of a Demon Princess, let alone one as powerful as Kanzen was. Yet he had not imagined that his influence was so great that not only did he have a Balor within his back-pocket, or at least a Balor who owned him a great favour. But a Balor who was likely one of the oldest and most powerful demons to exist, and a champion of a dark deity... </p>
<p>Well. Whilst his curiosity was already piqued by this group, by the story that the Lady had shared and the unusual familiarity that he had with these places, names and stories they were so willing and free to discuss and share with one another. The fact that a being of such power - or at least influence - was arranging himself against the group was quite attention-grabbing indeed. Regardless of whenever or not this group actually lead to the answers that he so desperately sought, it was likely going to be a worthwhile endeavour to linger and see how the situation would develop.</p>
<p>Besides, these beings were quite strong. A being with divine power from within, two strong martial artists, a sharpshooter, a mage and a swordsman's... oh and an invincible dude. So, he settled down to watch them fight. To battle against this new threat that arranged itself against them. Though neither the orge squad that they had convinced to work for them nor these... divine warriors stepped in to help. Meaning that he was getting a strong gauge of their abilities and capabilities. They were strong, ferocious fighters for certain...</p>
<p>But evidently. Not strong enough.</p>
<p>Blow after blow rained down on Zaidel, slipping past his defences to cut into his flesh and skin. The Marilith’s blows were swift and deadly, for sure to cut the swordsman down as he stood. Yet, as that final blow came swinging round, as the blade glistening in a deadly, silver, arc. A blur shot out of nowhere in order to intercept the attack. Knocking the weapon clean out of the Marilith’s hand. No, more than that, the blade span round to slam its handle into the Marilith’s skull, even as an object that had slammed into its hand span back, away from the demon and the swordsman...</p>
<p>And into the waiting hand of a new warrior on the field. A tall, toned figure with tanned, weathered skin and cold, blue eyes. Simple brown robes covered his form as he relaxed the weapon against his shoulders... save it was not a weapon he had thrown. But a simple lamp post, taken from its purpose and used as a weapon. Finally revealing himself, he spoke to the Balor in a calm, measured voice.</p>
<p>“Tell me Wendonai, Father of the Drow. Do you know who I am?” </p>

First, an attack with his pride and joy, the Magnus blade. Attacking not the vampire itself, but the spells that surrounded its form, trying to severely weaken its assault. The next attack would be aimed at the foe’s legs, trying to trip him up and leave him on the floor, prone and vulnerable.

As each and every attack rained down on him, the Barbarian saw his chance and struck back against this foe that was raining down attack after attack upon him.

The first blow from his razor-sharp falchion was not aimed at the Vampire itself, but any spells that it likely had to defend itself.

His second attack from his Magnus Blade carried with it a charge of electricity, not just doing augmented damage but also making it easier for his metallic blade, and the whip of pure metal his had conjured in his left hand to rip through the foe as well.</p>

He wasn’t entirely sure what to think about this entire situation.</p>
<p>There were so many different elements involved. The Lady’s explanation did make sense, a significant amount of sense for certain, but he wasn’t sure that he believed that it was entirely true. He didn’t go as far as Alyssa did, and discarded the situation completely... but at the same time, he knew that he was more than likely going to have to look into the situation in greater detail. To look into the Apogee Society, and whenever or not they actually did have a magic-less planet as a rehabilitation planet. To find out just how much of the Lady’s words were true... and how much of them were false.</p>
<p>But that was only the tip of the iceberg.</p>
<p>This... Kami of theirs. Not only was he the one that summoned them, looking for a key that could unlock any lock. Claiming without too much reason for suspicion that he was attempting to access a demiplane where the essence of a dead god rested, in order to free his sister from her prison. But he had made... enemies. Powerful. Powerful enemies. </p>
<p>Kanzen. Demon Lord of Kilk’Ill, Princess of the Jaaku. Even one like himself would hesitate to have someone like her as an enemy. If it came to a straight out fight, he was rather confident that he would be able to defeat her. But Demon Lords rarely fought fair, especially when going against threats that they themselves respected. Hence why her mere presence was more than enough to put him on edge. The fact that the party sought her out as an ally, and willingly made a deal with her made further confused matters. In all likelihood, they did not actually realise her true nature. That they simply saw her as a being of power, and not a being of infernal might. Otherwise, they would not have made her into an ally. </p>
<p>Yet... he could not be certain about that, and that was worrying. They were acting in an unpredictable fashion, despite how he had believed he had been getting a strong read on their personalities leading up to this revelation. Especially not when they did not just reason with the Ogre squadron sent after them but actually swayed them to work for themselves instead. Albeit at the rate of twice as much pay as Kami had been offering them. Neither did the spontaneous appearance of what seemed to be magical rings on their persons exactly ease his nerves in regards to this group...</p>
<p>They were different than anything he had ever come across before...</p>
<p>... It took him quite a while to realise that what he was feeling wasn’t anxiety.</p>
<p>It was <b>excitement</b>. There was no question about it anymore: He was going shadow this group, no matter what they did.</p>... He wasn’t entirely sure what to think about this entire situation.

<p>“It could have been a trick you know. Fey love to hide within forests like this, and tricks like that are the exact type of trick the more malicious ones would love to pull. For all, we know you were never under any threat at all.” There was a pause before Valar would glance at Marya, saying. “Still. There’s nothing wrong with taking extra precautions in case you did actually end up facing a vampire. I have doubts about our capability of fighting off such a vampire, even with all of us combined. But there’s no reason why we can’t take precautions now, is there?”</p>... Well. S@~%.

Earth was... a Prison?</p>
<p>It did make sense, considering the raw power, fighting prowess and skilled tongues that he had witnessed so far. He could understand why... some of the members could be considered rather dangerous, and in need of control or punishment if their crimes were severe enough. Doubly so if the prison was created and maintained by the Apogee Society as a rehabilitation centre... if any civilization had the ability to make an entire, artificial world as a prison, it was them for sure.</p>
<p>Yet... yet he couldn’t help but rebel against the idea. Rebel against the idea that this ‘Earth’ was nothing more than a prison. That all of the legends, myths and stories that had been crafted within that world were actually memories of the other realities gleaned through their dreams. That all of its people, all of its farmers, builders, warriors, crafters and leaders were either criminals going through rehabilitation, or simply made up by the Apogee Society entirety. As much sense as it made... he couldn’t accept it. Not even a single iota of his being allowed him to accept this as the truth.</p>
<p>Nor did he know why... through with one theory, that was rapidly becoming stronger in how true it may be: That he was somehow linked to this Earth. That he himself had gone through the rehabilitation process before he awoke with no memory and no purpose. It would explain why his emotions were stirring now once more, despite being dead for aeons... and yet, it wouldn’t explain why he was taken out of that world. Why he was removed from it, and what his purpose was...</p>
<p>Through, he had a theory... this world... this Earth... was a world without magic. Completely devoid of it in fact. So much so, that the magical bleed off from the previously very powerful magical beings was enough to lead towards the creation of an entirely new god... and perhaps not even the only one, though he had no way of knowing that himself. He... he wasn’t able to wield magic. He had tried: He has studied it for many years as a wizard, yet he was never able to perform even the simplest of cantrips. Whilst he was a skilled alchemist in his own right, he hadn’t even been able to use the powerful and temporary extracts that other alchemists were able to... heck, he had trained as both a monk and a ninja, yet had never been able to tap into the power of Ki.</p>
<p>Meaning... meaning that this body. This form, despite being far stronger, tougher, swifter, smarter and wiser than your average human being... was one from this Earth... and if that was the case... if he was superior to normal humans... was he meant to play the role as a jailer? Was he the jailer off Earth? The one that was meant to ensure that the rehabilitation process went smoothly and that nobody was able to infiltrate it to extract prisoners before their time? Or perhaps just kill them? He... he just didn’t know. It made sense, but he didn’t know...</p>
<p>What he did know, however, was that this story was only just beginning. Not just because the group he was linked with, were being summoned by Merlin himself... but also, and perhaps more importantly. There was talks of a Seal... and it was linked to the Apogee Society... The Great Sin of the Gods of Weal... there was only one seal that he could recall that was linked to the Apogee Society... if this theory was true... well. Well well well... it would certainly make things... <i>interesting</i>...</p>
<p>Through it was also amusing where he, the guy who had no memory or purpose for aeons, did not wish to reject Earth as simply being a prison. Whilst most of the group seemed quite willing to accept it very easily. Especially Joseph. Wasn’t he shouting about having a sister he needed to get back to, not even an hour ago? Talk about a swift turn around.</p>
<p>Regardless, he made his decision. He would see if he could talk to the Lady of the Woods alone... and follow the group to Merlin. Wherever Merlin was.</p>So... Earth was... a Prison?

<p>Regardless, it seemed that there was at least some information to be gleaned from this visit.

<p>The only female of the bunch... whose name he believed to be was Alyssa, seemed to be the most fragile, physically and emotionally of the group. Your typical kind-hearted maiden that cowed at the first sign of danger. Non to impressive, and likely not going to be much of a help in this quest.</p>
<p>Then there was this ‘Joseph’ fellow... quite frankly, it was going to be a surprise if he managed to survive for long. Emotionally, panicky and unreliable to a fault. He had done nothing but cause issue and chaos within this group, and it was a surprise they hadn’t straight up abandoned him yet... but perhaps he could change and surprise him. It was unlikely, but not impossible.</p>
<p>Bage and Zaidel were very similar in that they very much enjoyed strength and power, and enjoyed combat despite the risks that came with it. Very good, though he was uncertain about whenever or not they would be a challenge to someone of his own strength or skill. Not that it mattered too much, they likely had the capability become strong enough to do so eventually. Perhaps even give him a reason to keep growing stronger.</p>
<p>Liriiestil was the face of the group. Far the best at keeping a level head, and persuading people to side with them. A powerful being whose tongue was so sharp that it was almost a surprise that it did not use magic... he was basically the leader from what he could see, though it seemed that the group had not yet officially nominated him as said leader so far.</p>
<p>Kei seemed very polite and reserved. A strong-ish fighter, if the battle against the hydra was much to go by, but there wasn’t much to say about him in terms of personality. He was just... there.</p>
<p>There was the Vulture King, an old deity finally given flesh. A being that very much enjoyed his power and was seeking out further worship in order to strengthen himself in this new reality. He seemed practical, through proud. Helping others with the expectation of getting something out of it, even as something as tangible as a pray... through of course, defensive about his divinity, as old gods were oft to do.</p>
<p>It was ironic, then. That Lucas seemed to act as the oldest, and perhaps the wisest of the group. Sure, he foolishly believed in honour, but he could not blame the old man for that, as many people did the same. He was good at keeping a level head, yet swift to act when it was necessary to do so. All in all, a good leader as well, though perhaps he would serve best as an advisor and secondary leader to Liriiestil...</p>
<p>Still, no reason for him to approach them just yet, despite having a solid grasp of their character. More information, so that he could better predict, anticipate and control them as needed. Besides, it had been a while since he had been a hunter... and his ‘prey’ was always fun to hide from! Of course, he had another challenge soon approach him. The elven guard seemed rather insistent on the fact that they had to name themselves in order to be allowed access to the Lady’s domain. Being that he had not revealed himself, nor did he even have a name, he might be forced to reveal himself...</p>
<p>Not wanting to do that yet, however, he would study this portal and the area around it. Knowing that his long experience had allowed him to find, and study magical auras to see what they are... and if there are any magical sensors in the area.</p>

Then there was this ‘Joseph’ fellow... quite frankly, it was going to be a surprise...The Nameless Warrior (alias of Fury of the Tempest)2018-01-22T16:19:54ZRe: Forums: Play-by-Post: Welcome to the Other Side!The Nameless Warrior (alias of Fury of the Tempest)https://paizo.com/campaigns/WelcomeToTheOtherSide/gameplay&page=5#2202018-01-14T18:56:14Z2018-01-14T18:56:14Z<p>Hmm... this was an odd group, that was for certain. Some of them devolving into shouting and screaming in order to get their way, on the verge or flat out panicking already in regards to the unusual situation they found themselves within. Whilst others actually seemed happy with the circumstances they are found in, embrace this new life they there now had, instead of the old life they had before... as far as he could tell, it seemed they all believed themselves to have died, and have now been reborn within these lands and bodies.</p>
<p>Curious for certain, but unless he somehow was reborn, aeons before the others were... on top of amnesia, there was no connection possible between himself and this group. Not that he was discounting that possibility either. These worlds, these planes, they were all too... numerous and bizarre for him to fully discount any possibility. Hence why he decided to shadow them for now. Not introducing himself to them just yet, both because he would be able to glean more information as an observer rather than part of their group... and because he desired to see just what they were capable of doing.</p>
<p>And it seemed that Nameless rather swiftly had the chance to find out what they would be doing, after a bit of arguing and frustration as to where to go that nearly had two of them wandering off on their own. Not only was there the identification of an Opiate Orange, which proved that their transformation had given them knowledge of this world at least, but they soon found themselves fighting against an eleven-headed Hydra. A challenge for sure.</p>
<p>Except, it was no challenge to them at all. The ‘Japanese’ man named Kei managed to artfully dodge an attack from it, and slice a head off with a powerful blow. More intriguing, however, was the ‘gentleman’ calling himself Lucas. His rapid barrage of four shots cut down the beast with lighting speed, defeating it before it could properly strike against the foe. He was definitely one to watch in case he had to fight...</p>
<p>Oh and there was also a powerful mage of some description, or perhaps just a someone who was a dragon that transformed themselves to look fey... hard to tell honestly.</p>
<p>Regardless, they took on the threat with remarkable speed and potency. Perhaps, if he was revealed... he should test them further and see what they were truly capable of.</p>

Some people wanting answers before handing over the Key, and wanting more information about what Kamii wanted to do with it.

<p>It was unusual yes, but not the strangest waking up that he ever experienced. Broken voices in his head, like a weak and tentative sending spell that had only just managed to reach him. Foggy and dark memories of just what he had been up to during the stretch of time that had led to him arriving at this location... not that unusual considering how much he drank. To blunt, waking up in an unknown situation, amongst a group of strangers, and having no idea how exactly he had arrived there, was a situation that occurred pretty much once a week for him.</p>
<p>This time, however... this time. There was something... <i>different</i> about this group.</p>
<p>It wasn’t the fact that they themselves didn’t know what how they got here, as that was pretty common in these situations. It wasn’t the fact that they seemed to be in different forms than others, as that had happened before in circumstances like this. Nor was it the fact that these changes seemed to make some enthusiastic and happy, whilst others were deeply upset, almost on the verge of panic, and a wide diverse of reactions were part of the parcel with these experiences...</p>
<p>No... it was how... <i>familiar</i> they were, yet he knew for a fact that he had never seen anything like them before in his life. Like, the one who dubbed himself as Bage... the odd armour he wore, in conjunction with the device he wore over his eye... it was like nothing he had ever seen. Yet he knew them, and in fact, there was a sense of... Fondness? Happiness? Mirth? Or perhaps a combination of all three, that he felt upon observing him. And this... ‘He-Man’, and the way he held the sword above his head, shouting ‘I HAVE THE POWER’ brought that feeling of mirth bubbling up even more, as well as admonishment that he wasn’t doing it right... doing <i>what</i> right?! Then there was the young lad commenting that they were talking Japanese... a language that he knew, yet had never heard of before!</p>
<p>And when this... ‘He-Man’ began talking about where they were. Talking about Pathfinder as well as Dungeons and Dragons... there was just this... itch. This itch on the back of his head. An itch that couldn’t scratch and nearly had himself giving away his position in frustration until the appearance of the odd black-robbed boy finally distracted him. Now, this, this was something he was very familiar with... and he quite frankly could not believe that this group of people just agreed to the magic ritual to find this artefact. Despite having no reason to believe him and that he would keep his promise...</p>
<p>Still. A ritual to break barriers and wards... and a voice asking for him to make sure a seal was not destroyed? He had no reason to do so, beyond curiosity. These people, whoever they were, whatever this... ‘earth’ was... it was so achingly familiar, familiar in a way that he had never known before... so whilst the ritual continued, he prepared himself and his lamppost. Waiting for when the ritual would end and the artefact arrived... </p>
<p>Then he would take it for himself, and get more answers than this Kamii was currently offering. </p>

<p>Of course, getting other people to cast these spells on him (if at all possible), would significantly aid the speed of his buffing routine, thus granting him a higher level of power without giving the enemy too many rounds to buff as well.</p>
<p>Regardless, Dazneth is a beat of a beast in combat. Thanks to Beastmorph giving him pounce, and having a bite, gore, and either two claws & hoofs, or four claws, alongside his dual-wielding, Dazenth has a devastating attack routine, with his large size and Kinetic Whip giving him a long reach for AoOs. With his Construct Armour, Damage Reduction and high saves, he's pretty tanky as well, though he doesn't have Evasion or Stalwart.</p>
<p>AMF will definitely hurt Dazenth, as his Kinetic Blast and buffing is a huge source of his damage... but due to his size and reach, he might be able to lurk on the outside and attack into it with his sword... maybe.</p>
<p>Oh and Dazenth is a crafter, with quite a bit of spare GP to craft for non-wonderous weapons.

<p>Even if the sheer variety in Rhun’s suggestion got a brief smirk from him. As did Griswold’s quip about having a good axe arm... still, it seemed that the group had a consensus. Bind and strip the bandits of any gear they had, letting the bandits chance the forest if they really wanted to... or the mercies of civilization and its laws. Harsh choice for harsh crimes... Valar approved.</p>
<p>As for the loot, and Vaki trying to palm a diamond? Valar arched an eyebrow at him but said nothing in response to his claims. Simply turning to address his own desires in regards to the loot. “I wouldn’t mind some of their gear, like the caltrops and crowbar. More rope and a personal tent won’t hurt either.

<p>- Discovered their talent for magic at an early age, and began shaping it into a weapon to fight as soon as they could. They never dove straight into mastering the magic alone through, due to the orcish nature of their community.</p>
<p>- Not having the size or reach of other orcs, their fighting style shifted to throwing weapons in order to counter this difference. Aiming to slay enemies before they got close, yet still having a weapon on hand in case things went wrong.</p>
<p>- Left the orcish community at 25ish years old, realising that they were maturing and growing slower than the orcs were, and didn’t want to spend their entire life with several generations of family. On top of that, they felt that they had a much greater calling for their destiny.</p>
<p>- After many, many years of wandering and adventuring, they eventually settled down. Their adventures having brought them to help people, more than focus on their own delight, and the power of inspiring others instead of just solving the issue themselves. However, when the Kaiju came, they picked up the Starknife’s in order to fight.

Even before the arrows arched out of the gloom. Valar bitting out a curse as one sank into his shoulder. The ex-lycan rather annoyed that he was the only one of the lot actually injured!

Valaronex decided not to point out the very obvious holes in Igdus’s ‘counter-argument’. As there was many. For example, casting illusions over a plot of land was what they were a discussion, not casting an illusion over the caravan. Another example was that such magic was rather easy for any illusionist, and not as tricky as Igndus made it out to be... oh and they were potentially dealing with the fey. Fey, mind you, who much preferred to trick and torment instead of outright killing them either. </p>
<p>If the paratromaic couldn’t see these, then in all likelihood, he would pretend they did not exist at all. </p>
<p>When the patrol’s started, Valar stuck with Gerwyn, partially to hopefully get along with them better... and because they had better eyesight in such light that him. Which became rather useful when there was a loud, unusual thumb that caused them to spin around. Valar peered through the darkness, but couldn’t see much... so instead, he whispered quietly. “See anything?”</p>Like the others. Valaronex decided not to point out the very obvious holes in Igdus’s ‘counter-argument’. As there was many. For example, casting illusions over a plot of land was what they were a discussion, not casting an illusion over the caravan. Another example was that such magic was rather easy for any illusionist, and not as tricky as Igndus made it out to be... oh and they were potentially dealing with the fey.

<p>The idea itself wasn’t bad Valar had to admit. Taking advantage of a noticeable increase in danger within a forest in order to get agents in place in that forest. Hoping to use the nullification of that danger to make their reputation better, which in turn would make it easier to establish an actual safe haven for Lycan kind... perhaps rather idealistic, but Valar would always favour the idealistic approach over the cynical one any day.</p>
<p>It was the execution that was making Valaronex question its wisdom. To throw together a random group of strangers and hope that their common goal would allow them to put aside any differences that cropped up was foolish. Especially when they themselves did not know who the strangers were. Igdus alone was practically fracturing the group asunder with his paranoia and ruthless pragmatism, and the merchant that they were travelling with was frustrating others as well with his supposed uncaring attitude to the people of the caravan.</p>
<p>Yet at the same time, the way that everyone in the group was so swift to label the merchant as simply being concerned about his gains was incredibly unsettling... after all, the merchant's words made a lot of sense. There was little need for so many of them to go after one person, just two would have been enough, and if there was trouble they could have called out for assistance or retreated back to the camp. Not to mention wandering off into the woods by yourself was an incredibly stupid idea... and you can’t protect every stupid person in the world.</p>
<p>Natural selection existed for a reason after all.</p>
<p>In the end, Valar decided that he couldn’t just keep himself away from the group. They were too divided and split for him to be willing to trust them with his secret, the truth of his powers and lack of lycanthropy... so instead, he decided it was best to approach them individually. His first consideration was Rhun, in part because she was the only female of the group. But with the fact she wasn’t actually part of the group or guards, and how she was being so obviously watched by Igdus, Valar decided to opt out on that idea. Instead, settling for the fellow quiet wolf: Gerwyn.</p>
<p><b>“Mind if I join you here?”</b> He asked politely as he came up to stand next to them.</p>Valaronex was starting to wonder at the wisdom of their quest.

<p>Whilst Valaronex was quite frankly sick and tired off Igdus’s attitude like the rest of them, he had to grudgingly, and mentally, admit that he had a point about the Gnolls. In likely would've been best to leave one or two of them behind to wake the caravan, whilst the others spread out in order to ambush them as they tried to attack the caravan. Instead of just standing and waiting for the Gnolls to come to them. The opening attack would be a lot more effective that way.</p>
<p>But Igdus could at least be a lot more... polite when the other guards decided it was best to make sure the camp was awake and ready, as well as defending them whilst they woke... and Valar couldn’t blame them either. They were hired as guards after all, and making sure no own was set upon whilst waking up was very important for a guard to do...</p>
<p>Distracted and not thinking straight, Valar didn’t notice the gnoll charging at him until the spear sank into his leg, forcing him down onto one knee as he growled in pain. Luckily he wasn’t fighting alone, and Gray was all to step up, driving the gnoll off and giving the ex-lycan time to rise to his feet... whilst his curse was controlled, remnants of its power still lingered in his blood that began closing the large gash opened up on his thigh, swiftly stemming the bleeding as he summoned his true power once again.</p>

<p>Silver light gathered in front of his face, condensing into the shape of a wolf’s muzzle, completely with razor sharp fangs. Fangs that Valar now lunged with, intending to sink into the gnoll’s flesh to rip and tear.</p>The argument had distracted him.

<p>Great. That was exactly what they needed it. It could just be a coincidence, of course, considering the fact that there were many different reasons as to why the wolf seemed to have such a fascination with the caravan. Including the possibility that the wolf was a bit more intelligent than the usual animal, and was fascinated by the civilised races. Yet Valar couldn’t help but shake the feeling that it was no coincidence that it was a wolf showing such interest in a caravan that had a high concentration of Lycanthropes.</p>
<p>Because of this, Valaronex was starting to get... anxious. He had come on the caravan because he fully expected there to be trouble, to be able to fight and aid his family in ways that were simply impossible before hand. Now through, with no signs of hostiles... the tension was starting to build, and the ever-present possibility of the Lycans becoming outed was growing. Combine that with Valar’s own secret... and he wanted to get this caravan sorted with, sooner rather than later.

A leader must be open to criticism, otherwise how are they to see when they are wrong?”</b></p>“Its funny how you accuse me of hubris, yet you are the one in danger of it.” Karliah said mildly, not at all minding the fact that Rose was threatening to kick her out of the place so swiftly. It was after all the type of leader she was. “You accuse me of calling your honour into question. When all I have done is criticize your decisions rationally and logically. You ask for a reason why I should not be kicked out, yet I have to ask why criticism is not allowed.”

The investigator was relived to finally be out of the darkness... to be in this wonderful, wide world... but... well. Karliah was used to the darkness, used to having something over head. So when she first stepped outside of the underground bunker and into the light... it was frightening. For the world to open up around her, going on endless without an end... how did people live like this?!</p>
<p>But... Karliah was older than fifteen years, and whilst it was faint... Karliah could remember the time before her live underground. Of the wide open sky, of the bright warm sun... and the fear passed after an hour or so, allowing Karliah to take a deep breath and walk down away from her home for the majority of her life. It was time for her to explore... and spread the word of the Scarlet Sentinel’s Return to the world.</p>
<p>Thanks to her training in survival arts, Karliah was able to live of the land rather effectively, not wanting to use the food of her trail rations unless she needed to, knowing that the rations would keep for months without needing to be eaten, if not longer due to magical preservants. She was a little worried that the purple tinge to the water and plants would mean that they contained the poison, so she always boil everything, water and food alike before eating it, seeking to remove any poison. </p>
<p>Eventually though, things changed... Karliah came across a forested area that seemed to have been burned to the ground. Searching though it, the investigator was only able to find a necklace to slip into her haversack... and then she spotted the first signs of life, and it was not a human. </p>
<p>“Hello? What’s your name?” Karliah asked friendly, but cautiously. She didn’t know if this being was friend or foe, hence why Karliah didn’t approach, but didn’t lower a hand to her sword or grab one of her few prepared extracts. Instead, she studied the pale, frail looking humanoid in front of her, trying to figure out what she was.</p>
