Drift engine use! Protean approved!
Safe for you and your children!
All banter aside, I think that Drift use is a massive gray area. We see some of the implications in Dead Suns. And I think it will be a major plotpoint for other stories and for filling in the setting with Fluff. Maybe we'll get space druids protesting drift use. Maybe we will get major corps saying drift is 110% safe.
I smell plot points.
It's also worth remember (unless it's changed from Pathfinder) most planes are infinite in size, so what is infinity minus some finite amount? It's still infinite.
Outer Planes are, but demiplanes are not. The Drift affects all planes but the Mateiral (that we know of). And I do mean all.
They may be infinite but tearing them apart and grinding them down and making them all bleed together like all the ships are mini-Maelstroms is kinda bad for the stability of the Universe.
We Proteans support mini-Maelstroms.
Oh Gods, you all have probably been throwing out Orchestra level performances ever since Drift Engines became widespread XD
We are currently sipping cocktails and looking trough the Ikea guide for ideas how to decorate our new summer homes.

im kinda lost as to what is happening. My own fault. Ill be without a computer all day. If needed you can bot me. Warrin will want to cast daze monster. The save DC is 15
Warrin screams and starts rolling on the ground to put out the fire.
reflex:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18I did specify that I would should at the first one to come out of the hatch. Also, its much more warrin-like to get distracted and then get set on fire
Hearing Warrin in distress, Jio slithers over. double move
Warrin and Jio still advocate that they should row out with an excuse. Maybe not dress up if the others dont want to, but what about if they pretend to come bring supplies?
Warrin and Jio raise their hands simultaneously.
"Ooeh, we can dress up! We read this once, in "The Devil who Tamed Her". We can dress up like ladies of the night and row up to the boat pretending we're a gift from the captain because they are working so hard and deserve some time off."
I wanted to make my last post longer, but realised that googeling 'cheesy romance novel titels' was a bad idea at work.
Warrin would cast mage armor on Jio, then Jio would get up on the roof with Estombra on his back. THem bashing in the sky light would count as the 'startshot' I think.
My idea was that we would be the distraction so the rest could get in unnoticed.
Because, you know. A snake with a wayang on its back falling trough your roof would be a serious distraction
Warrin and Jio happily crouch down next to the Wayang. "Oh, that was your nephew?" Jio exclains. "That was a lot of fun. It was before I had arms."
To illustrate his points, Jio waves his arms around. "I am happy I have arms now. So much easier to open jars."
Warrin points back to Jio. "Sure you can ride Jio, if Jio is fine with it."
Warrin looks at Shina. "You are not very nice to your ghoust are you? What about his feelings?"
During the boar trip Warrin and Jio do their best to make friends with everyone. Once he finds out that Araklifest is a librarian, he asks for a story every night.
Once they reach the docs, Warrin and Jio do get more serious.
Listening raply to VC Heidmarch words is a young man and a... snake? With arms?
Earlier when you were waiting to meet the venture captain, he had introduced himself as Warrin. A young man keen to explore the world. His goal was to learn much trough the society, and one day return home to be the first to get to the eye of abadego, the permanent storm that rages of the coast of his homeland, the Sodden Lands.
He tells you that the energies of the Eye affected him while he was still in his mothers belly. The strange energies changed him. But he is fine with that.
He strokes his beard as he tells you this, and you notice his beard is not made of hair, but of feathers.
His companion, Jio, is a large snake. With arms. Jio has a mane of feathers. He tells you Warrin is his best friend and together they are on an adventure.
"We dont know a lot about riddleport. But we could ask around?
diplo to gather information about Alejia:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 diplo to gather information to locate Alejia:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Warrin strokes his feather beard thoughtfully.
"Ive heard that before they took to their latest unlawful deeds, Alejia and her crew were well known among the pirate gangs of Riddleport. They are known for its ruthless tactics and efficiency in commandeering and sinking targets. But the juiciest gossip I've heard is that while she appears human fom a distance, Alejia is actually a vishkanya fom distant Vudra, making her blood and spit deadly poison against foes.

Attack Sequence:
[dice=+1 cold iron dwarven dorn-dergar]1d20 + 10[/dice]
[dice=damage]1d10 + 7[/dice]
Alaric will attempt to aid in the action of any Pathfinder, irrespective of any fey ties. In combat, Alaric begins by singing a song of Rage: of how the fey of the Darkmoon Vale reaped a harvest of blood among the young and old, of how the children laughed; fooled by fey magics as they were turned to meat and bone. He then moves up to assist Thurismund with turning a creature into pulp.
His dorn-dergar begins as a reach weapon, but is shortened to a close range weapon if the need arises or it is tactically more sound to do so. He casts mage armor at the beginning of every day on his Phantom (once it has materialised) and as many times as needed in the course of an adventure to keep it up on Thurismund. If buffing is needed and possible, he will begin with blur then follow with shield (if the threat seems to warrant it). He uses moment of greatness sparingly.
