A DRIDER?!?!? How is that even possible?

Next question, please.
Ms. Sillvari,
I have somewhat recently begun a career as a rogue in the service of the Pathfinder Society, based in Absalom. I am curious to compare notes with such an iconic figure as yourself.How much do you value physical power, especially in relation to speed and agility? During my training, many people advised me that I should spend less time with the weights and more time in the obstacle course; however, I felt a more balanced approach would better serve me in the field by enabling proficiency in whatever manner of athletic skill might be called for. I would say I possess strength and dexterity in equal measures at this point; what's your take on this topic?
Similarly, many fellow trainees believed that as a rogue I had a de facto obligation to develop my charm and personal presence. However, I felt that most applications of such aptitude were superfluous: anyone who might need to be lied to or intimidated is probably worth simply eliminating, and coaxing power out of magical items in the absence of a spellcaster is often inefficient anyway. All that leaves is matters of diplomacy, and diplomacy classes were much less burdensome to take than a full curriculum on the universal application of personal charisma. Even so, my bunkmates always balked at my priorities. Again, what's your take?
Thank you for your perspectives, Ms. Sillvari.

Merisiel, how come you're the only one who talks to us? I mean, don't get me wrong, you're great - it's just your friends are great too and I'd like to ask them things. Any chance you could prod some of them toward making some appearances and answering some questions?
Have you ever been shapechanged into a male form? If so, did you have fun?
And have you ever been shapechanged into anything else?
So I am guessing you don't have the same fear of spiders as you do of bats?
Are Paladins annoying?

Eilxirs of love. Those things are the best at causing trouble.

Speed and agility are super important. Strength doesn't really matter in the end if you're fast enough to run in, stab in a vital spot, and then run back out of range. Might take longer to kill a foe, but it's classier and neater and safer than just standing there and swinging a club.
And developing personal charm is good too. Because that's how you handle things that probably shouldn't be handled with stabbing. They're rare, but they happen.
were in Golarion do you find the best inns?
Kintargo.
Merisiel, how come you're the only one who talks to us? I mean, don't get me wrong, you're great - it's just your friends are great too and I'd like to ask them things. Any chance you could prod some of them toward making some appearances and answering some questions?
Probably because they're all too clogged up on their self-importantce. Fame's gone to their heads. They're all just kids though, so you can pardon them that.
Have you ever been shapechanged into a male form? If so, did you have fun?
And have you ever been shapechanged into anything else?
Not... exactly. But yes, it was fun.
*taps Merisiel on the shoulder, indadvertedly draining lots of con*
Fortunately, Con penalties don't impact sneak attack damage.
So I am guessing you don't have the same fear of spiders as you do of bats?
Nah. Spiders are okay.
Are Paladins annoying?
Absolutely.
Thanks for your reply to my questions.
Now, want to armwrestle?
Gross. Nope. That's dwarf lovin' stuff.
Only dwarves armwrestle? Surely you jest. Or was that supposed to be a jab at me not being a pureblooded elf?Gross. Nope. That's dwarf lovin' stuff.Thanks for your reply to my questions.
Now, want to armwrestle?
It was merely an observation that greasy man-conflict type games are things dwarves get all worked up about, and as such it's not really anything I'm interested in participating in. I'll be glad to pick your pocket while you're armwrestling Harsk though!

Your proclivity for petty pickpocketing perturbs me.
I get that you're supposed to be "iconic", but you also kind of encourage stereotypes which I have no interest in fulfilling. I tell people I'm a rogue, and they expect a lying, thieving weakling who can't fight with anything bigger than a knife and needs to be protected. They look at me strange when instead I'm a strong, disciplined, sturdy athlete with a sword strapped to his back and a penchant for protecting his allies in the front lines.
On the other hand, you're cute. Curse you and your mind games!
... I tell people I'm a rogue...
There's your problem! Tell them you're a merchant or a barber or a cleric or an undertaker. ANYTHING but a rogue.
How many Paladins have you met? Do they all act the same, or do different Paladins have different personalities and ways of handling things?

I've meet Seelah, of course. Most of the other ones aren't ones I've spent a lot of time hanging out with. They're actually really REALLY creative at coming up with variable and unique ways to be annoying, though. They don't all act the same at all.
How do you calm yourself down when you are pissed off?

We usually point her at the nearest monster (or Alain), and then it's stab, stab, stabbity, stab.
And if there's no monster around, I've never been brave enough to stay around to find out the other answer.

Particularly violent adventures do the trick. That, or kitties.

Dear Meri-chan,
how could this (NSFW) happen... and how much did you enjoy it?

Remember my comment earlier about elixirs of love? They're very versatile.

First, Merisiel, I am duty-bound to convey a message: "your services to Imperial Cheliax are appreciated, and in gratitude please accept this chest of coins and our warmest wishes." Hrmph. I imagine it has something to do with that expedition. The one with the snakes they're writing those ten-copper novels about.
In light of your meritorious service and the implied request that I not attempt to bring you to justice, are there any accomplices or rivals upon whom you would wish retribution? Do you recall their names and places of residence?
What is the deal with that Gnome in the big hat and his rooster-snake-ferret pet?
Do you know if you or any of the other Iconics will be appearing in Pathfinder Online? I know you and Ezren are pictured on the Goblinworks homepage, but I don't know if that's new art or re-used from a book I haven't seen.
That picture of us is snatched from other books (River Kingdoms and Advanced Player's Guide, I think). I've actually not been contacted by anyone at Goblinworks, nor have any of the other iconics. Whether or not we show up in there... I suspect we're still months and months away from knowing.
Do you like turkey?
Yuuuuup.
