Also, why am say I being straight? Good night is good night. Besides, not sure you can call any girl who sleep with Valeros "straight".
'what's wrong with Balthazar? Is unprofessional go into details. But he seriously creepy.
I demand pictures of the Pathfinder ball! Valeros in finery? Sounds too good to be true. Is not so much formal affair. More like feast and drinking and dance and music after two day spent reconnecting and brushing ups skills. And how do you know what Lem tastes like? Am not sharing details for this one.
Look like bad hoax. Seriously, how you get magic powers being descended from race that no have magic powers?
What would you wear on a first date? Red.
Thank you. Not consider self legend; just try to be good at job. This really better question for cleric. Inquisitor generally educated in causing harm, not repairing. Maybe you have parasite? Is possible for healing magic to invigorate creatures feeding on body, like sugar rush. If creatures large, or infestation particularly severe, may cause pain. Have also heard tumors sometimes react to cure spell. Have seen very rare case of tainted family bloodline tied to negative energy plane; cause healing spells to hurt and harmful spells to heal. Sometimes ghoul fever cause this as well. Positive energy should no hurt, so strongly advise you consult temple.
when you travel with a gnome or halfling have you carried them on your shoulders? and have you ever had to throw one across a river. Is sometimes faster carry Lem than let him walk, so may do if in hurry.Lini never need be carried. Would not let Balthazar touch me, let alone climb behind head. Throwing halfling or gnome seem counterproductive. Besides, very difficult. Weigh two, three stones, but all lose and floppy. Never travel as far as you think.
And she forgot to mention the ghoul did the same thing to Valeros. Heh, no.... Would be cute, though. Valeros have nice legs. But happen to every girl adventurer eventually. Happen to Amiri last year. That get ugly fast. Poor, poor baron.
Do Valeros and Alain get along well? They amicable. I not think they work together yet, so mostly just see each other at annual Pathfinder ball. If you were to throw (literally) Lem in a dragon's mouth, would the dragon think Lem tastes funny? In my experience, Lem not taste funny. If a tree falls in the middle of a forest, and only Alain's horse hears it, How would he find out how it sounded? Horse probably tell him. Horse is shameless gossip. If you had to be another class, which class would you be? Had wanted be cleric when young, or possibly paladin. Did not have proper temperament. Enjoy life as inquisitor, and do good work for others, so not focus much on what might have been.
Speaking of Seltyiel, have you ever worked with him? What was that like? Enjoy working with Seltyiel. We often recruited together when job need strong arm more than dedicated caster. Seltyiel very clean, very collected. He serious sometimes, happy other times. Very charming. Is pleasure to work with him, but sometimes worry I annoying to him. Am... less refined.
Imrijka, vould hyu know ov eny good hat-makers en Lepidstadt? Und just askink, hi-po-ded-tic-cally, vould you know of eny good hidink place north ov Ravengro? There many. Archibald & Son is favorite. Store now actually owned by Son, who run with two daughters. Make very durable working hats. They two blocks North of market square. Have no been to Ravengro. Hear there nasty bit of business up there recently though. Would advice stay away for now.
Out of all the iconics, I believe you are my favorite next to the dwarf and the paladin. Will you be starring in any short storied adventures anytime soon? Thank you. Always nice when hard work appreciated. Part of job of iconic to be elusive, not pinned down. Don't think they right books for us. If not,would you mind if I did? I not mind at all if you star in short adventure story, but you not need my permission.
Have you, or will you ever be in a book? I understand they publish chronicle of my exploring Harrowed Realm. Also of visit to Deepmar. Both very exciting!
Strength of what type? There are numerous kinds of strength. I tend break smaller companions. Require... durability.
Have you seen Reiko without the Gi covering her face? Reiko request I not answer this question. I owe her favor.
Single malt or blend? Single malt if can find. Available choice usually run gamut between blends and last season's moldy grain fermented with dead cat. Surprisingly strong, and is not pretentious. What happens if you make a hot toddy with holy water? Nothing if human. If vampire, hilarity ensue.
also now that you're here hanging out and chatting with us dare we hope that your long overdue biography is not far behind? Society contract chronicler. Chronicler drunken reprobate. Maybe in process?
I am just joining the Grey Lady's inquisition myself, and my companions keep reminding me what a bad reputation we have. How do you describe the important work we do to make others understand that doesnt involve your weapons (cuz Id like to try it without bloodshed first)? Temple of Pharasma dedicated to smooth transition between life and death, to ensuring balance in universe, and to protect living from abomination of undeath. Offer bereavement counseling and support when needed, maintain graveyards, and conduct services to help dead find way to Lady of Graves for judgement. People should no fear death. Death natural part of life. It bring one to final gift carved from lifetime of toil.
Have you ever encountered a Grammer Cleric? Am unfamiliar with this god. Has someone ever tried to make you sing a song in public? No. Sometimes try to make stop singing, though. What are the chances of other Iconics, such as Seelah, Balthazar, or Valeros, getting on the "Magic Blackbox" and being asked questions like these? Am unsure. Magic box sometimes hard to comeby. Be grateful for what have in meantime. What is your favorite food? Whiskey. Can you do a backflip? Can.
What's it like being green? Is no easy.
What kind of legal authority does an inquisitor of Pharasma have in Ustalav? Legal authority is not so much. Church more important than government, so try to keep from bogging down with day-to-day affairs of taxes and whatnot. Have great deal of social authority, though. Very few people tell Pharasman inquisitor no when ask for information or entry. Even nobles respect work done for church, or fear for immortal souls. Also, have you ever met a human who was an orc blooded sorcerer? Orc-blooded sorcerer? Sound crazy? Why having orc blood give magic powers? Orcs not have magic powers.
You ever think of trying to clean up the nation of Geb one of these days, or does that fall under the heading of a problem too big for one person to tackle? Nation of evil undead more of group effort to fix. Will not say impossible for one person to make diference; never know exact role mortal persistence, luck, and gods play in world, but very rarely plan to rely on such things.
What is the most powerful undead you've punched in the face? Ha! Love this story! Am once kidnapped by ghoul cult. Leader think he very suave, like vampire. They take gear, put me in fancy dress, make me sit down to nice dinner with him where he talk about plans for conquer world. I steal flatwear, use to make holy water once they take me back to cell. Tear up fancy dress and make into hand wraps. Soak in holy water, beat ghoul guard senseless. Finally have sword again by time meet very-not-suave ghoul wizard leader again, but incredibly satisfying beating back to death with bare hands. It easily most satisfying unarmed kill. Do not like having hat taken.
Do you have any pets? Am not so good with animals. Plus, travel too much for commitment. Also might die, then who would feed canary? Do you want to share them with us? You is offering to feed canary? Why is Erzen's Weasel smarter than Seelah at higher levels? Is very simple answer: Seeoni not have weasel. Also, Ezren not have weasel. Is Seltyel as emo as everyone depicts him? Seltyiel standoffish, but hopeless romantic.
Where can I get that hat and that great coat! You have such impressive taste in attire! Haberdasher ca provide hate. Coat come from talented leatherworker in Caliphas. Have had patches patches or repairs since, though; very little or original coat remain. Ask around; find good leather shop near you. May have to engage dye merchant separately. Crimson dye expensive.
Miss gulyásleves. Very delicious, but hard to find away from Ustalav, Rest of Avistan seem afraid of paprika. Father would make with mutton and parnsip when he visit. Varisian food very good. They make sort of almost-gulyásleves with chick peas and cale. Very satisfying.
You seem like a very serious individual. I am not saying that there is anything wrong with that, but I also think you have a certain, undeniable charm. Do you ever spend time relaxing, or going out on casual dates? and if you do, what would be a nice evening of fun for you? Lifestyle necessitates certain intensity. Difficult to take any long-term projects or commitments. But am generally considered hilarious by people who appreciate dry, Ustalavi wit. Find comfort in strong drink. Also strong men.
Who would win in a 1-on-1 fight: Pharasma or Urgathoa? Pharasma greater deity and crux of ultiverse. She control the movement of all souls in hereafter. Urgathoa scared little girl who run away rather than face judgement. Fight never even happen. More importantly, have you ever had to team up with a living, and intellegent, undead? Have not. No such thing as "living undead".
You wear reading glasses? o.O Yes. Am slightly farsighted.Good for archer. Bad for research. Apparently is common problem with orc blood.
Do you ever run into problems keeping your hat on in the wind? Have cord. It prevent such problems.
As a person of half-human ethnicity yourself, what do you think of other kinds of half-humans, i.e., half-elves, aasimar, tieflings, oreads, undines, etc? Try to keep open mind. Half-human have just as much potential for good as human. Or potential for bad. Not all tiefling evil. Not all aasimar good. Sometimes heritage have obvious affect on personality, but there world of difference between letting heritage influence you, and letting heritage dominate you. Also, I've noticed that sometimes in the artwork you're shown wielding a longsword, a martial weapon. Inquisitors are only supposed get access to simple weapons and the weapon of their deity. Pharasma's chosen weapon is a dagger, so where'd you learn to handle that sword? I have long, rambling, drunken discussion with game developer. Get special dispensation.
Also Valeros laugh at glasses. Mmm. Glasses look good, I think. Went through many pairs before purchase adamantine case to keep them in. Is paying for itself. Now I can keep in belt pouch instead of leave at camp.
How does Faerie Fire work? Is more of Ezren question. I assume it work like this: You cast spell. Spell happen. Ever wish you had changed your domain? No point in regrets or second guessings. Always make best of what you have available. If you only focus on wishing you bring holy water, you miss silver dagger lying in corner. Have you ever been on a train? Have been on many trainings. Training for bow. Training for meditation. Training for hunting.
Do you work with Seelah often? Not as often as would like. Jobs that call for paladin and jobs that call for inquisitor not overlap so much.
What do you get from a lot of TV? Have met one of those in Taldor! He very nice. Feija hate that he fit bodice as well as her. Why don't you just simply read a book? Enjoy book when find time to relax, but find very little time to relax. Also Valeros laugh at glasses.
What are your thoughts on grifters? You know, con-artists. I don't mean the bloke down the pub nicking people's pay with some fancy card tricks or the mean bastards that'd cheat an old lady out of her life savings, I mean the classy sort of grifter. Is not my particular area of expertise or enforcement. Judgement of mortal deeds and sins left to Pharasma, not her church. My job protect weak from strong. If you feel your lifestyle righteous, and lead to content eternity in hereafter, that your business. You use your lifestyle to do harm on others who can't stop you, then maybe you and I have unpleasant chat.
Agree. Imrijka and Kyra best tools for this job.
Not sure what you imply. Am have perfect Ustalavi diction. Am practice enunciation for years to compensate for tusks. Sadly, rest of continent seem to mutilate language.
Entire Half-orc race is iconic. Strong like the mighty Orc fathers of old, smart like humans. Lesser races fear us, as they should. This view short-sighted, racist. Many humanoid have good things to offer world. Talk of lesser races first step on very dangerous path. Pleasure in fear of others second step. Also, iconic Assassin is watching you, just over there. I don't recommend staring. Fear? Threats? Embrace human half. You not need to revel in such things, and you make rest of race as seem monsters when you do.
What about the Iconic Rage Prophet prestige class? That is definately an Orc or a Half Orc. What is his name? Is half-orc, yes, but prestige classes not have iconics. Can be considered runners up. Seltyiel is good example: Was not technically iconic until Magus class identified, but was fast-tracked into position by being prestigious. Have not personally met rage prophet. Do not know name off-hand. Assume he impressive warrior to even be considered for illustration.
So, who is the most ugly of the iconics? Is not proper to judge other based on appearance. Deeds and intentions far better gauge. Also, other iconics am coworkers. Should not badmouth publicly while sober.
Do you prefer ranged combat or melee combat? I ask because you seem to be a damn good shot with that longbow... Is shortbow, actually, but am good shot regardless. It pay to have options in fight. Generally like to avoid close combat with undead if possible. Many undead do unpleasant things to body and soul. Sadly, many undead also resistant to arrows. Often are need close, personal attention to resolve. Smart hunter attack from advantage and use ranged combat to soften opponent before closing, but must be strong hand-to-hand warrior as well.
Inquisition not for everyone. Is okay not to be. It require righteous fury and selfless dedication. Must have conviction of paladin, but willingness to compromise personal beliefs for greater good. Compensation quite good, though. The Lady of Graves provide me great strength in her service, and many undead accumulate good collections of gold and antiques which they no longer need after explode.
Do you go to shopping with Merisiel, feya and the others? Oh yes. Many times. Merisiel frequently attempt to leave me behind, but tracking skills very adept.
Imrijka, what is it like being the only Half-Orc of the Iconics that has a name? Is awkwardly phrased question. All half-orcs have names. But am only half-orc iconic. Is much pressure to be respectful of racial traditions, but not focus over them and make for bad stereotype. Has there ever been a situation where a you had to eat Alain's Animal Companion? Alain's? No. What is the meaning of "Rhojk den Grod"? Depend on context. It either insult, friendly greeting, or statement that object is overpriced. Who say to you?
Do you get your hat custom made, or can you buy it off the rack? Head somewhat larger. Must usually engage haberdasher. Have you ever considered a hat of disguise? Not really think about it. Would certainly make some things... easier, but am not ashamed of being half-orc, and am not accustomed to taking easiest path.
Do you like more humans, orcs or half-Orcs? Is... difficult question. Yjosch. Humans is humans. Is good humans. Is bad humans. But humans is humans. Was raised in human culture, surrounded by humans. Am not genuinely sure where human blood stops and not-human blood begins. But most of friends and family human, and am generally like company of humans. Half-orcs like humans. Is good. Is bad. Like good ones, but I not seek out half-orc friends above humans. Still, is sort of... camaraderie. Is hard to explain. Is like when go to war, or face down unspeakable beast. Sometimes is hard to talk about some things unless with someone else who fight in war or face same unspeakable beast. Will sometimes tolerate unpleasantness from half-orc would not accept from human companions. Not prefer haf-orc companionship, but sometimes find relief in it. Orcs... Orcs. Ugh. Not like to meet. Not like to fight.
Which judgement do you prefer in combat? Try not to pick favorites. Favorites is luxury reserved for those already very well-protected, or those who is dead. Judgement of Purity very good against undead, but wasted fighting giants. What was your most satisfying 'inquisition', or foe you had to cleanse? Putting down undead always satisfying. Scary monsters is threat to living and way of life, but undead threat to entire cosmic wheel. I once punch vampire so hard he explode. Was hilarious once wounds stitched up. Coat require many hours to cleanse, though. Had to purchase new hat.
Imrijka, I'm about to start applying for an Evil-PC Campaign. I'm thinking about going either Fighter-Assassin or Cavalier-Assassin. What do you think makes for a great villain character roleplay? Just so you know, I don't plan on doing anything in the campaign in real life. I just need to know what kind of EVIL Law-givers have you met. Good evil not rely on skills. Good evil, like good good, require likeability and gift to work as team. One violent madman easy to hunt down, easier to kill. Well-organized cult much harder to track, and very difficult to fight. Is one time I go to island of Deepmar. We fight girallon there--is big, ugly, mean ape, but just one. He give bruises, but at end not terribly scary. Other things on Deepmar work as group. Very scary. Leave scars. And evil law-givers, is Cheliax. Is well-organized machine that pull together in threat. Very dangerous.
Was Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego? your favorite game growing up? OR What was your favorite Monty Python sketch that started with "Spanish"? I not follow so good here. Favorite game growing up was King of the Stump. And I have seen many sketches of pythons, but I do not recall a 'monty' python. Is proper name or species? How do you feel about the perception of Ustalav being "xenophobic and backwards" much of the world seems to share? I find idea laughable. Rest of world seems very xenophobic and backwards. Is likely jealousy. Do you find yourself often lumped with that stereotype by others? Not as much. I find people have entirely separate stereotype for into lumping me.
