The debate is mostly civil and ends in surprisingly little changes to how things were working: the Professor would become the official responsible for accountancy and management—more of what he had already been doing behind the scenes, in short.</p>
<p>The question of the ringmaster is put to a vote. Cubby, the talking dog, wins by a small margin over other candidates. Tahala and Ceija immediately begin work on an outfit which includes a top hat and a jacket studded with shiny beads.</p>
<p>For some, the departure is bittersweet. They had lost Myron, yes, but they knew Abberton was a bit better now than when they arrived, and to them this was of considerable solace. “Myron would have been proud,” they say. </p>
<p>Just as many are happy to leave this ugly town that cost them so much behind. “Let’s go somewhere where the biggest attraction is not ‘the temple of f&~%ing bloodthirsty monks’ this time, eh?”</p>
<p>Everyone, however, was very happy with the reward the Mayor of Abberton offered them. Though she would never admit it to anyone, Finch was pointedly not disappointed.</p>
<p>With goodbyes said and tents unpitched, the Circus of Wayward Wonders rode away on an early morning. And so this chapter in the life of the Circus of Wayward Wonders came to a close—hopefully a bloody and tragic beginning that leads to a long story of joy and merriment.</p>

The dark-skinned young woman with piercing amber eyes is, to the Wonders’ joy, Mayor Amber’s daughter. After a brief round of presentations, she sighs in relief.</p>
<p><b>“So I’ve got that old bugger of a father to thank for sending you…I'll never hear the end of it. But, yes, I assume you more or less pieced it all out. I came here with father's message, was met by some monks I had never seen before. Proper eerie bastards, I can tell you that much. They brought me to the guest room, knocked me out, brought me to some guy or girl I also had never seen before. They wanted me to deface some Gozreh relic, I tried to escape…and that’s all I remember. That old man over there, he’s the abbot. The others are hermits, I think.”</b></p>
<p>Slowly but surely the others wake up. Though none are hurt, many are malnourished, prompting a sharing of whatever rations and fresh water the Wonders can share. The return to Abberton is blissfully uneventful.</p>
<p>Their return, accompanied by the hermits and mayor Abber's daughter, quickly evolves into an impromptu feast. Grog’s tentative thoughts meet the undeniable reality. For these people, they are heroes. Not only because through their actions they saved a few people’s lives—he had heard about the old feud between Abberton’s residents and Gozreh’s hermits. And here and now, seeing the unbridled gratitude shining in the eyes of these austere and wizened men and women, he believes the rift might begin to close. Pandir sees the seeds she has sown with her friends and she does believe Mother Meredith would be satisfied. </p>
<p>The whole circus is invited, of course, and there is no shortage of little spectacles here and there—much to Finch's despair at the absolute waste. They could have been bleeding the townsfolk dry, but, no, apparently Ceija, Katala, and everyone else is happy to perform in exchange of smiles and rainbows.</p>

<p><b>“Hallowed be Gozreh, the impudent heretic is dead. You have done me a favour and for that I will let you live,”</b> he says.</p>
<p>The wall behind him erupts in a sudden storm of stone, lightning, and blood forming a terrible portal. Katala sends her lightning bolt just as he crosses the threshold and disappears—whether it hits or not, no one can say. The portal collapses at the same time as the flaming sphere.</p>

<p>One particular fragment catches Katala’s attention. Succubi offer profane gifts to mortals. These gifts grant a shard of demonic power to whoever holds it, but also allows the succubus to dominate that person completely. If, however, the receiver is in possession of a holy token and recites an enchantment upon being gifted the profane object, they can turn the demon’s magic against it and force the succubus to do anything they want—the author of the original tome was very keen on using the opportunity to banish the creature back to the Abyss.</p>

A curious thing happens when Grog ignores the wolf’s whimpers and lands his strike on the beast’s belly: as soon as it drops dead, its body convulses and snaps, the fur disappears and what is left is the tiny shrivelled body of a green demon.
Meanwhile, Finch turns towards where the group last saw one of the demons and searches for it, with no success.
Katala sends her flaming orb towards the...GM Omelas (alias of panegyric)2022-06-21T21:45:40ZRe: Forums: Play-by-Post: GM Omelas' Extinction Curse — GameplayGM Omelas (alias of panegyric)https://paizo.com/campaigns/v5748p75ivlsv/gameplay&page=17#8412022-06-15T19:18:10Z2022-06-15T19:18:10Z<p>Oops, just realised I wrote <span class=messageboard-ooc>Grog's up</span> instead of <span class=messageboard-ooc>Everyone's up</span>.

Afflictions (poisons, diseases, etc) all work more or less the same way: once you are exposed to it, you roll a first save. If you fail, you enter affliction stage 1 (in this case, some poison damage). From then on, each tick of the affliction (in this case, one round) you get another save. Failing increments the stage, succeeding decrements it. If you reach stage 0, you no longer have that affliction. Most afflictions tend to go away naturally as well, after a set amount of time (though of course reaching the final stage of some might result in death).</p>

<p>Not sure I nailed creating the tags: some seem very overpowered (e.g. can't die), but I'm assuming that their usefulness is tempered by the fact they can only be used together with a move?</p>

No other option.”</b> After dispensing her wisdom without any further explanation, she takes a drag, looks at him and points with her cigarette at a bunch of papers lying on a nearby desk. <b>“Check those partitures. I copied them, but don’t know, might have mistakes. While you copy, listen to it inside you. Feel it in blood, pumping inside you. If there’s fire, then is good. If you can make fire yourself, is good. You go far.”</b></p>
<p>After looking at each bill for no more than a moment — and letting out a stream of profanities in russian the whole time — she puts them in the pile of things that only make sense in this rotten country and which she will get the assistant to handle when he misbehaves.</p>
<p>Finally, she reaches Carmichael’s invitation. Whatever her comrades saw in that worthless puny man, Irina could not understand. Some of his work in the past was good, but now? Sodom? Useless. It wanted the world to stay the way it was. It was just pretentious bad sex jokes made by a limp , ashamed penis. The memory of their last encounter came as a distant memory — he had said something irrelevant thinking himself the master of wit, probably. Drunker than usual? The vodka she was drinking then was very good, she remembers that clearly. Nevertheless, she would attend his party. The Bureau instructions were to keep her eyes on him.</p>
<p>When the mirror cracks, Irina stops, raises an eyebrow, lights a new cigarette and then proceeds to crack all the mirrors in her new instrument. Once she’s done, she claps, satisfied, then hums the same note as before. <b>“Is good!

A few seconds pass before the boy hands her a few sheets of paper with the copied schematics of her latest instrument.</p>
<p><b>“Miss, these are–”</b></p>
<p><b>“Wrong.”</b> She grabs one of the sheets, looks at it with an expression of disgust then shoves it back on the assistant’s chest. <b>“Need three kerosene pumps. Above saw. How we have fire without it?”</b></p>
<p><b>“The…the stage people thought it was too dangerous and didn’t—”</b></p>
<p><b>“Art must be dangerous! Art that is not dangerous is imbecile!”</b> She slams the engine she was working on. <b>“This is piece of fire of proletariat! You need to listen to it and feel it so you are also burning so you wake up and tear down walls.”</b></p>
<p>Irina grabs the papers again and uses her blowtorch to set them on fire. Waving them very close to her assistant’s face, she begins to rhythmically bang on the metal whilst modulating between three low notes in her contralto voice.</p>
<p><b>“You feel it, yes! The heat of the furnace that is like drum of revolution!”</b></p>
<p>After she finishes instructing the wide-eyed boy, she sends him back with the express instructions of rubbing the ashes of the previous schematics on the face of whoever refused to follow her instructions. When he objects, she bends down so they are at eye-level, puffs a cloud of smoke on his face and shakes her head very slowly. </p>

<p>Irina Ustvolskaya would be a russian composer who builds instruments out of heavy machinery for her extremely avant-garde pieces — instruments like twenty car engines welded together, circular blade saws that destroy each other while someone plays the violin, etc.</p>
<p>She is striking (app 70), freakishly tall and thin (size 75) and a bit intimidating, with a sort of silent "I will kill you with my bare hands if I find you annoying" demeanour. Also she has no sense of humour and will very rarely be seen without a lit cigarette.</p>
<p>Her occupational skills would be (going off quick start for now):
<br />
listen - 70
<br />
mech. repair - 60
<br />
art/craft (welding) - 60
<br />
heavy machinery - 50
<br />
intimidate - 50
<br />
locksmith - 50
<br />
credit rating - 40
<br />
art/craft (piano) - 40
<br />
elec. repair - 40</p>
<p>personal:
<br />
brawl - 45
<br />
drive auto - 40
<br />
rifle - 45
<br />

<p>Do you think this would be an issue? I guess we could split skill focus in case we were both chosen (Irina could focus on listen, intimidate and heavy machinery, for instance?)</p>I am still not done with crunch, but the concept I was going for might be mechanically similar to @tomtesserae's, so I guess it would be good to check if we wouldn't be stepping on each other's toes.
Irina Ustvolskaya would be a russian composer who builds instruments out of heavy machinery for her extremely avant-garde pieces -- instruments like twenty car engines welded together, circular blade saws that destroy each other while someone plays the violin, etc.
