Fantasy NPC: Dame Zethala Virix. Another day, another knight(-ess).
She has no listed class. Unless she somehow has ten levels of half-elf ;P

At this point I'm really hoping for an appropriate Call of Cthulu ending to my family's Strange Aeons game.
Except...
...my PCs have enough knowledge and skills to deduce how to destroy the stelae, and the means and determination to do so. (Destroying artifacts is supposed to be hard, but providing the one creature in the universe that can do it to a party with a high-level necromancer is... bad...)
So I look forward to seeing how it plays out, but at the moment I think my party's just going to say, "Heck with the BBEG! Let's just destroy these stelae and trap him there and save the world in one fell swoop."
And I think it would be a really cool ending to an AP that has underwhelmed in books 3, 4, and 5.
She has no listed class. Unless she somehow has ten levels of half-elf ;P
She will execute you, peasant, if you keep claiming that she has no class, though.
Today, I hauled away 18 tons of earth, with about that much I still have to haul away.
Today was a good day.

Between my long hippie hair, the drone guy's man bun and plaid shorts, and co-worker having to wear jazzy sunglasses until his eye heals* I'd say we have the market for landscaping hipsters cornered in Wisconsin.
* He got cat hair under his eyelid and it turns out he's allergic to cats, he'll be fine in a week.

I read that as "long nipple hair" three times before I could read it correctly.

That's more medium length.
Not quite long enough to braid, yet.

It only took 2+ years but I finally was able to show the boss what I meant when I told him I could carve a fountain in a boulder.
So now he's probably going to line up a half dozen boulder carving jobs.
At this point I'm really hoping for an appropriate Call of Cthulu ending to my family's Strange Aeons game.

The cat hair thingie has happened to me more than once and it sucks.

It doesn't take a lot of thought, and if I can think of it, my family can.
For the record, since I'm curious whether Drejk knows more, by RAW we have:
Lesser Animate Dead: One skeleton or zombie. No [SU]s.
Animate Dead: Multiple skeletons or zombies. No [SU]s.
As you go higher, the rules don't tell you how to apply the other templates, so I tried Hero Labs instead.
Create Undead: Ghouls, ghasts, mohrgs, or mummies
Hero Labs lets ALL of these creatures keep their [SU]s, so maybe a flying polyp ghoul would do the trick for them.
Create Greater Undead: Shadows, wraiths, spectres, or devourers.
Same thing.
My issue is that Hero Labs is pretty much, "If there isn't an explicit rule against it, it's allowed," so just because it works in Hero Labs doesn't guarantee there isn't a rule against it somewhere...

Create (greater) undead generally creates a new creature, using the standard bestiary stats, unless the GM has access to templated versions of those and wishes to apply them to the monsters (or the player finds a nice templated monster from the bestiary with a note it can be created by one of those spells). That one (well, two) is more GM-fiat about deciding what happens when they are used on corpses belonging to non-humanoid monsters.

You're sure that shouldn't be "That's the angriest I've ever seen a man-eating chicken"?
Another day of hauling stuff away from the job site.
As opposed to tomorrow, when I'll be hauling stuff to the job site.

Yesterday I introduced my Kindergarteners to the concept of division (don't judge me, it's on my home curriculum checklist) by bringing my laptop into my kitchen and "dividing" the toppings on a dozen sugar cookies... 12 pecan halves, 48 chocolate chips, and 24 gold sugar stars. And then figured out how many cookies each person in my house would get. They certainly looked the most interested in math I've seen them since Home Learning began.
Then I had to conduct an entrance interview for next year for a 2 1/2 year old over Google Meet. She was not at all certain about the talking to the strange lady over the computer, but she showed me a drawing she'd made, stacked some blocks, and told me her favorite color was yellow because she liked lemon cake. (I'm supposed to assess speech, attention span, fine and gross motor, readiness/ability to comply with adult directions, and overall suitability for a Montessori classroom). Since her parents still have the money to pay tuition right now and she didn't actually fling poo at the screen, it's kind of a given that she'll be accepted, but we're apparently trying to sustain the notion that we're a harder school to get into, even now, because in Dallas, that makes people want us.
And since whether or not the teachers get renewed contracts for next year depends on enrollment, I'm going along with it, because I really don't want to have to go back to my fallback, which is nursing home administration, at this moment. (Not to mention that I've been out of that field for thirteen years, not even sure if I could still get hired.)

Query: what if she had flung poo at the screen in an artful manner? ;)
Seriously though, good job on making math relatable for them. It definitely helps. Not that you need me to tell you that.
I've been using Duolingo for the last 2 weeks, trying to learn some Japanese. All of the things they've had me translate as part of the lesson have made sense until just now. It had me translate the sentence "Excuse me, I am an apple". It really threw me because I was sure that was what it said, but it just makes no sense and so I was also sure that it couldn't be that. But it had to be. And it was. And now my brain hurts.
you havent lived until you have said the most random stuff in super polite japanese. Also, talking dirty in super polite japanese, regular polite Japanese and impolite japanese are all different things.

I was introduced to math like that once. It was interesting, once. Even simple.
Never again.

She sounds adorable.

But what if she has a cannon for an arm?

Completely understandable.

I'm kind of enjoying turning this whole "missing chemistry teacher" thing into a noir murder mystery.
March 22: "OK kids, you didn't like my Montessori style of teaching, and your parents didn't like me giving you all Fs by entering all the scores for all the year's assignments ahead of time, so you're on your own. See ya!"
April 04: After NobodysHome's first attempt to learn of the teacher's whereabouts, he mysteriously adjusts a few grades on the system.
May 01: The counseling department contacts NobodysHome about Impus Minor's F in Chemistry. NobodysHome reports the missing teacher again. NobodysHome never hears from the counseling department again...
May 04: Choir director pings NobodysHome about something else. NobodysHome mentions missing teacher. Choir director promises NobodysHome she'll look into it. NobodysHome never hears from the choir director again...
It really is pretty d**ned appalling.

Don't question me, mortal. I have resources the like of which would turn your brainmeats into pellets.
