Fame.

Prestige Points you turn in for favors from the Pathfinder Society? :) Speaking of which, has Ezren gotten over Lady Heidmarch turning him down for membership?

Lust. Which was interesting, since I don't think of myself as THAT religious. I would have guessed greed, but in hindsight I guess not.

Nope; I'm not part of that club.

And yes, he has.


Are the other people in your group busy?

They haven't been responding to questions as diligently as you have.

They're just lazy. Don't take it personally!

Or off adventuring, and they aren't as good at multitasking as Meri.

Alain, however, has just been pointedly ignoring you, Emilia.


Merisiel, you've mentioned previously in this thread that you worked a number of other jobs before embarking on your career as a professional stabber.

During that time, did you by any chance ever work at a toy-making facility in Irrisen?

And yet... They are at the same level as you, despite being decades younger. Elves are lazy... XD

I try... ;).

Seriously, though... I heard a pretty well-thought theory that the reason elves take a 100 years to reach the same skill a human achieves in 15-20 is because during that 1st century, they take 20 on everything they do... And therefore, take 20 times longer to do the simplest tasks...

Eating a sandwich? DC 0 Sleight of Hand check to take the food to their mouth... Elves take 20 and eat it as gracefully as possible... It almost makes sandwich-eating an art... Washing dishes? They will clean each plate using the flow of water in the best possible manner, not a single spec of dust will be left on those dishes...

And so on... 'til they go on adventuring and are then forced to fit the schedule of the shorter-lived races... Causing them to gain levels at "normal" rate. Like a crash course in adventuring/leveling up.

Is there any truth to this idea?

Nope. You humans just don't understand. Probably because you're always in such a rush to do things that you miss the whole point.


You should explain it, then... And remember: "If you can't explain it simply, you don't really understand." - some human.

Also, what's your favorite type of music?

Well, we don't have the luxury of taking the long view in life. We live our lives in the time an elf might decide to devote themselves to learning to play the lute. But then again, I've heard it said that the hottest fires burn fastest, so there's something to that as well.

How common is gender-changing magic in Golarion? We've seen a few examples of it in the books so far, but is it as rare as gender reassignment surgery here in our world? More common? Less? Does it freak people out as much there as it seems to here?

It's not super common, but it's hardly rare at all. There's elixirs that take care of it permanently, and anyone who knows how to cast alter self can gender swap all they want using that spell.

It freaks some folks out, sure, but it sounds like you on that side freak out more. I like to think that's how folks warn me not to waste time attempting to be friends with them.


Weird question here - what's your least favorite weapon?

Gun, probably. They're noisy, smell bad, and pinch if you put your finger in the wrong spot.

I knew I liked you for a reason.

Doesn't this get you in trouble with the gunslinger iconic, though?

No way! She's awesome! Especially since with all the noise she makes and stink her guns put out I can sneak around and stabby stabby stab so much easier.

You might be one of the few people who can actually complete a Minbari ritual meal. The opening movements take 2 hours alone.

On a related note, how do you and Shardra Geltl get on? Any commonalities besides your shared love of tiny lizards?

I've not had a chance to hang out with her yet, but I do like her tuatara. And don't let her EVER hear you call it a lizard. That would be... bad.


What's your favorite kind of music? And how often do you have the chance to listen to it?

What's the weirdest thing you ever ate? And how did it taste?

What would you wish for if a genie offered a single wish (assuming there is no chance of the wosh being twisted in any way)? For Kyra to live as long as an elf? I've seen an elf wish something similar once...

What would you do if you found yourself turned into a werebat, although with full control of your transformation (like natural lycanthropes)?

How did J.J. get you to answer these questions?


What exactly is it that goblins do in the street?

Pretty much nothing. As in they do everything in the street.

Opera. Not as often as I want.

Reefclaw. It was VERY delicious, but then I found out how smart they are and it werided me out.

Ooooh! That's a good wish!

Wait... can I have my wish back?

He just asked nicely.

Crusaders in general. Not just paladins. Seelah's actually pretty cool about it, to be honest.

So, rumour has it that your buddy, Amiri, will be making an appearance in the Pathfinder comic-book in the near future. Is she doing anything special to prepare for, or celebrate, this newest milestone?

Sounds to me like you should ask her. I'm not her secretary.


She has been doing a lot of press-ups lately.

For some reason she didn't appreciate me helping, though.

So when it comes to opera, what's your preference? Chellish or Taldane?

The bat, of course.

Spiders are child's play.

Bats are bad news, regardless.

Chelish.

Taldane "opera" is just talentless hacks screaming at each other in off-keys while wearing ratty wish-they-were-vintage costumes.

Doesn't Chellish opera have tendecy toward the macabre? Or is that their plays? I recall one work of theater which requires brutal acts done by the performers, to the point no theatre group has actually finished because all of the performers have died on the stage.
