Is there like a guy that works in the mail room, and collects interesting paper clips, and mutters and laughs to himself often?

That would be REconverted to functionality. We really do own a screen-used Stormtrooper rifle and a Rebel blaster that were built from actual live-firing weapons, though we had to deactivate them when we brought them into the US.

You mean Cosmo? Sure. Why do you ask? He's a quiet guy... mostly keeps to himself.

I haven't met everyone at Paizo, but if there was money being placed on a no-holds barred free-for-all among the staff, my money would be squarely on Jeff Alvarez.

Jeff is an awesome guy and doesn't show up on the boards much. I met him at Origins and Gen Con, and to my recollection, we never talked about martial arts or fighting or anything like that. But my read is, he could break me in half, and then eat Logue for dessert. And I have respect for Logue's skills, too.

Just sayin'

It's always the quiet ones.

Dude, and he's from some small town in Idaho or something.

Daigle ponders the suggested revelence.

Really though, Teter could melt our brains remotely. Fear that!

I have no such powers.

I swear.

Spoiler:
Here is where I offer classic Cosmo implication that I do, in fact, possess these powers, most likely in ironic fashion. Which would be nice and funny.

But I really don't possess these powers.

Spoiler:
Not yet any way....

Jeff is STRONG! I remember when I first shook his hand at Origins...and pulled back a mangled paw! :-)

My brain is a terrifying and alien place. Much like the Abominations of the Far Realm, my synapses are freakish enough to be untroubled by such mental assaults.

Unfortunately, this means I tend to be pursued by the whitecoats a lot. Something about needing my medication. The fools! I shall CONSUME this world one day!

You actually had me for about thirty full seconds, Vic. Either you're really good or I'm just potato simple. I choose to believe the prior, though the latter sounds delicious.

Great. Now we will have to declare war on Taiwan so we have enough child hearts to power all of our interdimensional SUVs.

Nice going, Kassil.

Bah. That's because you need about fifty hearts to the dimension in those SUVs. I just need the one heart for a good thousand planeshifts!

Don't put the tape in your disc drive. The one that plays the youtube vid with the well, with the Wednesday Addams on a crystal meth binge lookalike girl that climbs out of the well. Don't do it, man. I know when you saw the movie you thought, " I ain't scared of that little scrawny emo chick. I'm a strappin' bugbear of a man. I could whup her like Conan whuppin' Frodo Baggins. Joke-ass ghost."
Just...don't do it. Do a sudoku or something.


What a ridiculously entertaining thread....and look at how many Paizonians came out of the woodwork...interesting. We shall have to continue our research as to what works as the best bait.

Lets see, Lilith has cookies and Backrubs, who else has something to contribute. I could certainly help with the bumrush. I'm 6'7" and about 300 pounds (goodly part muscle too).
Turin, just start using Hideous Laughter on them, I imagine you can use that at will, yes? If not get practicing!
If we can drag Allen along, we can let him kill their characters until they give in! ^_^

PaiCon here we come!


I'm standing behind Yasha when we charge.

6'7". 300 lbs. And Allen kills your characters. He must be a baaaaaaad man. ;)


Actually no, I haven't had the pleasure of dying in Allen Stewart Age of Worms campaign...but to die vaingloriously, in the persuit of so noble a goal, as getting into the Paizo office...that is the stuff of message board legend.

Check out Allen's Campaign Journal, hes killed I think 66 characters of varying levels, and they aren't even done yet. I LOVE death! Hmm...maybe thats a bit morbid...don't want to scare away the Paizonians. Just scare them into letting us in.

Um. I can...erm. I can hlep Lillith with the cookies! Or sneak in like a ninja and then wreck havoc like a pirate! Heeee-Yar!


Any contribution will be appreciated I would imagine. If all else fails, having a wall of expendable fodder will be probably needed to deal with the golem. If they have a dragon though....that will be a problem.

Our dragon got taken away. ;_;


To Mike: I am truly sorry...

If its any consolation, ours got taken away too...

To Everyone Else: You heard the man...no dragon to worry about, I guess that means the Polyhedron beast-thingy won't be a problem either.


I think we have enough ninja-pirates with cheap Golembane scarabs to sudden strike the Golem into gravel.

Onward to the Paizo office! (I'll get thier mooks, Tasha's Hideous Laughter gets a circumstance bonus from brutal satire I hear...)

Plus there is no Dungeon to toss us into if we get captured. That means you will have to make us work in the warehouse packing orders to go out! I could live with that.

Oh, wait, THL gets the bonus from the rest of your 'allies' going 'oooh, daaamn, that was harsh!'.

TSC gets the brutal satire bonus.

I suppose if Sharoth's Draconic pride will allow it, we might be able to get ferried over to the roof of the Paizoffice. Then we could attempt a two-pronged assault. Though why do I have the feeling that the Paizoffice is going to be a firetrap?

I suppose as long as the Paizonians don't adopt a 'scorched earth' policy.

(And by 'scorched earth' I mean 'scorched magazine and book stockpiles')
That would put a stop to the invasion rather quickly. We'd all surrender immediately. Hmm...this bears thinking on.

...I'd say you're a discredit to our species, but I know a black dragon who screams like a little hatchling and runs away if he sees anything arachnid, and a gold who panics when confronted with fish, even a guppy.

But then that's also why the species has ones like me... The ability to accurately spits little globs of molten rock come in handy when dealing with monstrous insects. It's funny the way they go *POP*...

And we've got a couple on our side. It looks more like we might have an advantage to counter their home-field concern.
