"Perhaps we should just infiltrate this new government and find the blade?"

"Would be wise to find that out. We need to find this enchanted blade and examine it. Assuming the worst, why would someone kill the man?"
Let's put some freaking fuel in this freaking campaign....
Sixth frowns at the lack of dangersense from Finnigin, and it gets even worst when the rogue adds to it. Seeing the group is lost and lacking direction, Sixth and his badass winged eidolon take over the lead of the group, deliberately acting with authority. First he addresses Cilian's comment: "Appropriate ourselves of guillotine blades with several thousands of souls inside?" Sixth gives Cilian a harsh look of disbelief, but he shakes his head as if drawn his conclusion already, further ignoring the mentioned idea. "Anyway, we're here to disrupt whatever Rovaghug's agents have planned for him. Judging by Balik's vision about the blades and the last rumors we heard, it is pretty clear there's someone trying to steal a blade or blades. If one, it's the one which is meant to destroy the guillotine blades. If it's more than one, and that's the worst case scenario, they are trying to steal the guillotine blades, and along with them come several thousand souls trapped inside. I don't even want to imagine how much trouble that can cause in the wrong hands. Whether to free known criminals or just to use them as fuel for something, we cannot let this happen." "The political scenario have apparently changed, so we might have a little more liberty, and we need to find out which one of the hypothesis is the most accurate. Let's split up and gather info, then reunite here in about four hours. We need to know when will be the "execution of the execution", how it will be performed and who's gonna do it. Whatever else you learn is welcome, and I'm sure you all have your preferred paths, so state what you will be doing or just do it. Please be careful, and try not to draw attention, as if we could. He draws his Scythe and and lays it over his shoulder. "Understood?"
"At least we won't have problem with the good folk in Galt, since there are none. The capital sounds fine, and we may learn some gossip about the last vision Balik had. Otherwise I'm clueless. But I don't think anyone would mess with us." He looks at Seventh, with his leathery wings. "Scout for us, willya?" The Eidolon takes flight, reaching enough height to have a decent look on the road ahead.
"Got it. Do we know where to start from? Maybe we should investigate who's in power right now? If it's been for a long time maybe there's some dark power behind it!" He suddenly recalls something. "Oh wait, are we late to act like the crow?"
"Now that the Avoral stopped taking the tea Alex gave them, he probably be ok in the long run. It's better than go after and killing him. After all, we saw the chain that Alex was holding drop, right? That leverage is no more! So I'm with you Cilian, to Galt!"
Think we need plenty more description on what happens and what we are doing...
still at the temple, watching the priest freak out.
I'm probably lost somewhere in the cinematics...
Sixth looks at his Undead Eidolon, Seventh.
Byron and a few others are saying Happy Birthday!!!
Congratulations!
"AND me and the little halfling here" - he points to Finnigin - "got some kind of diabolic disease that we need to get investigated, if you are able to."
Exactly the purpose of this campaign: get us killed.
yep, I know, but I'm more worried about the rest of the party, if we want to chase the avoral. After all, it is still carrying this spore thing, so we should stop it before it gets to a large city....
"Sure, I have no problems with priests, specially the good ones. They tend not to like Seventh, tough, but it won't be a problem."
TRAVEL NOTICE: I'll be on the road on the 18th (maybe connection at night), making an important exam on the 19th (no connection), and back on the road for the 20th (connection at night, maybe), so please DMPC me if needed. Please try not to get me killed.
"We're a long way from Galt, friend. We need to get moving soon."
I hear Canim speaking in the voice of Samwell Tarly... weird...
Don't worry just yet, I've got you covered...
I actually would bet you would do it for the fun of it...
He's never gonna be batman, then? I hate this life...
With nothing much to do on the city, Sixth lean against the wall in some large street, with Seventh and his wings hidden in an obscure alley, until they need to sleep or something happens.
Seventh would like to have a tatoo on of a skull on his skin... Oh wait, he doesn't have skin... nevermind then...
"What's wrong? Having the same problem I did?"
"Interesting..."
Sixth will walk around town at night, with Seventh flying 80ft or more ahead of him under the cover of darkness, keeping the good distance so he won't be seen by the common folk.
I believe that you sustain either the Eidolon or the summons with the same Arcane flowing power, so that's why you cannot maintain both. Anyway, I rarely use the summons, since I've focused on Seventh, and can recall him if needed, even if he died already in the day (by Summon Eidolon). Have you looked at the brood master summoner?
Wacky plans are wacky...
"Are you sure? Well, thanks, we appreciate it." He takes the thing. "Were I grew up we always hear tales about beings of good and hope, and they all had Greatswords or Bastard Swords. Scythes were the weapons of death. And it might as well be, we just don't know, and don't care. Seventh usually acts the way I would, were I him, but sometimes weird things happen. Not that it really mattered, you see, the unknown is far more interesting than the heavily calculated route. If you are really going down the summoner way we will have a lot to talk. I've heard about summoners who have multiple Eidolons, although weaker, while others protected themselves inside their Eidolons, like if it was an armor. It all depends on what you want, but the basics are all the same. Don't ask me how I cast no shadow, tough, cause that's something I just did not care to find out." He stops for a little, thinking for a second. "By the way, Eidolons change while we do. And I've been thinking, Seventh. We would be pretty much screwed if the avorals did manage to fly away. So, time for us to learn to fly!" As he speaks, the Eidolon suddenly curves his back forward, almost falling to the ground, but he keeps his balance, and enormous leathery wings sprout from his back, tearing through his cloak to spread wide and flap, throwing a gust of wind and dust on those nearby. "Feathery, you see!"
Sixth's eyes went wide by the change of behavior Byron presented. It must have been something in the spheres! Or maybe the woman?
"Seventh is not a Wraith, he's an Eidolon. A long time ago I learned one may summon forth a being of pure magical energies in the form they want. A being that could help them with their objectives, like a partner. As wizards use they studies to summon forth magic and warriors use their body to drive them through adversity, summoners like me materialize their will in the form they want. Or maybe not." He smiles to the Eidolon. "You see, when I was beginning my studies the image I got in mind was of an angel, fighting beside me, with feathered white wings and a holy Greatsword shimmering with white light. Well, you can see how good I was in accomplishing it right? Hun, Scythes! Up to this day I don't know what happened, if it was a curse, a mislabeled knowledge, weak willpower or something like that, I don't know. All I know is that, when I was ready, Seventh was the result of my efforts, and it has been like that even since. He's my shadow, and I'm his." You might think he is being metaphorical, but as you look to confirm it, you realize the summoner and the Eidolon cast no shadow. "Our life is a mistery. Our soul is a mystery. Our destiny is a mistery. We've learned to embrace whatever are put at our disposal through that path, so I guess it was worth it. I will guide you if you decide to summon forth an Eidolon, but I can't guarantee the results, as this is no simple subject. I'm pretty sure you will manage it much faster than I did back in that time. I had no teacher." He smiles.
Looks great! I am missing Seventh's jaw anyway, or is it just me? ^_^
If this was a joke I really didn't get it...
Well, I'm dying anyway...
"There was one simple detail by which we cannot tell both theories apart right now. Our basically didn't change anything, since in case the Avorals were a bastion of defense, Alec had already dominated them, and would use the bunch for even worst purposes, unleashing full demonic beings in the middle on the nation." He stops for a second, but adds something else. "By the way, I don't believe we will find a temple of Asmodeus anywhere around here. You see, people usually don't worship the Lord of Darkness in the open..."
"In any case, I didn't mean that the theory put Alex as the chain "key", but the group of Avorals. Like pillars for a tower, once you take enough of them out... Anyway, Galt?"
"Yes, we should get moving, but something worries me." He looks at the sky for a moment, then resumes.
"We also need to know what's wrong with this spore thing. Can anyone remove it, considering it is probably some kind of disease?"
"Go ahead Finnigin. Say something nice." Cause some people just want to watch the world burn!
"Actually I don't see any of their equipment... Let's take a closer look..."
Looks awesome! When I was a kid I used to draw things, but I stopped doing it and lost practice...
"Whoa whoa!" Sixth backs up tree steps from his position, and puts a feet farther behind to avoid falling. He focuses again on Byron, who could probably be tricking him into seeing this. But it wasn't him, he was sure about it. His gaze was fixed at him while the gnome was speaking. He turned to Seventh, beginning to understand that he had something to do with what just happened. "Heck! I know where they are!" He motions everyone to get close. "Listen up folks," - looks at Byron - "I saw the cage you mentioned, but I did not see what was inside. Over it there was a map, with five big dots all over Golarion. There was one where we are right now, but it faded. Others existed in Galt, Between Geb and Nex, Varisia and finally in Absalom." He waits for a second, to let the information sink. "Now, while I believe Absalom is a crucial spot, we have some information about what's going on in Galt, don't we?"
Oh, and by the way, the last post reminded me that the twin runes me and seventh had on each hand are now gone, and there's a single matching rune on each of our's foreheads. And if it was not enough for me to have an arcane materialization of my self walking beside me, now I have visions.... I'm betting I'll become insane soon enough....
Yeah, I do believe they only use the authorized books' images to make avatars, right? Seventh does have legs for now, as he have no way of flight, yet. In the future he will have either Skeletal wings or supernatural flight, or both, so it's up to you. For now he walks, although faster than us, but the clothes usually do not allow you to see it. Skeletal foot would be the appearing sometimes from the shadows. Scythes are terribly hard to balance when stowed, so I believe the handle goes up horizontally while the blade points backwards , usually tilting one way or the other. There would be wooden handles on the middle to secure them on place, but let one draw it upwards (somehow like a quarterstaff or greatsword) Yes, hoods please. Long ones, assassin's-creed-like (or a frontal protection like on "Brotherhood of the Wolf" btw a nice moovie), since most people would freak out with a black-dressed skeleton walking around with a scythe. Sixth's also has a hood to match it, although dark brow, not black. But they can be lowered.
Sixth begins to get a bit worried now.
"I am sorry, did you say five?"
