Damn, they did a lot of leveling.
Also, our companions are mostly caught up now, pleasantly enough. Most are 16/15, and only Vee is really behind by being 15.

Even Maelor at level 13 is going to level fairly rapidly after his City of Brass mission.

They should each probably have at least one more level by this point, too.
The Companions are coming along very nicely. It was cool to be able to send three of them to the other side of the planet for a long-term mission and not be too overly worried about them.
Canonically she's around six and half feet tall, and strong enough to shove over a boulder the size of a cow. So STR seemed low to me even despite being pretty young.

That new policy of DP's to give XP for short adventures done mostly off-screen, as well as for Research and such, that kinda gave a huge push.
Honestly, kinda one of main reasons I felt so weird about the way this month goes, yesterday - it feels like we are being power-levelled via QM's fiat, even if by all right we should have gotten that XP.

Vee is pretty scary though, those elementals are nothing to fuck with on a purely tactical level.
And strategically she is worth about as much as a small army, but ten times as mobile and heavily concentrated, so much so that I think she could crush an entire center, turn a flank or cut off reserves singlehandedly, if not start a whole rout.

Nah, dude. There was a lot of Companion leveling recently because we did some stuff to earn a lot of XP. We haven't been getting into big fights as much lately, so XP gain has slowed down. To all of a sudden get a lot of XP might seem unusual, but that's just the perks of the job.That new policy of DP's to give XP for short adventures done mostly off-screen, as well as for Research and such, that kinda gave a huge push.

Yeah, Vee is a beast, especially with her newest feat. With Superior Summoning, she can just inundate an area with Orglash-templated Air and Storm Elementals that can toss around 15d6 Cones of Cold like they're going out of style.
EDIT: Something that's also neat but not as spectacular is the final ability she gained upon reaching 10th level in her Warden of the Wilds PRC. She can automatically cast a Touch-Range spell on creatures she Summons. That means she could Summon multiple Greenbound Dire Tigers with +3 Enhancement bonuses to their attacks thanks to Greater Magic Fang.

Exactly. Recently we've started up with actual adventuring again, whereas for the past few months we've mainly been politicking and consolidating the territories of the Imperium.

I've always been a hypeman for Vee.
But she is the one who's actually hurt by being 15 and not 16 as she's a spell level behind the top. Garin or Malarys, for example, don't get anywhere the boost she gets at 16.

She's... 5967 XP away. Two to three high-stakes fights before she breaks through.

That is a new headcannon for me now. Viserys has Braavos flashbacks about the early days. He wakes up from nightmares about lackluster items and a small treasury.

I too am a Vee fanboi. I think she's one of the best companions from fluff in mechanics, backstory, and character. Piss her off and she will literally blow your motherfucking house down! Irritate her and she sets your castle town on fire! Offend her and she pancakes your castle and paves a parking lot over the remains! Inconvenience her and she floods your city and cuts off all trade!

Yeah woo kill her enemies! And their houses!Vee deserved a Mythic Rank, but we blew it all on a Zomok and some more Greenseers
Well then, she'll have to tear it from the mewling corpses of her enemies !

Blowing houses down isn't quite within her purview any longer, since she retrained Flaywind Burst in order to learn True Seeing.
But that just means she needs to Summon a Greater Air Elemental to blow it down or a 25 ton Greater Earth Elemental to land on it.

That was really what I was implying, anyway.

Vee's next level is especially hype as she gets to summon Feral Giants.

Ack, that reminds me, we need to see those Westerosi Giants at the Fist of the First Men at some point.
... Wait. They built the Giant's Lance in the Dawn Age. Now that is something Darleth would have been impressed with.
