I'm not opposed to it, but to head off any potential issues let's make sure to get permission from the Sultana and Caliph.
I'm not sure about Vialesk, though. We still need to arrange a meeting with their High Council.

More Beetle Bombs and Heralds, for sure, plus restarting production on the gear sets for our 5th level Scholarium graduates. We're a couple months behind on that. I need to go back and tally up which types of mages reached 5th level recently to get an idea of who needs what.
Gives us more leeway to further equip some of our other baby adventurers who need gear. There are several of them in my notes, but whose names currently escape me.
EDIT: And more Sultan's Tributes, too!
There are currently 10 MirrorVision mirrors, 10 Whispering Braziers, and 5 Interplanar Whispering Braziers on the crafting schedule. We still have a few in stock, too. Depending on other expenditures, we might be able to add some more to the schedule as well.

ah, this trip has truly been wonderful.
Almost enough to not make me cringe excessively at the fact that we have a lot of MAs to run through in, essentialy, 10 days or so.
Oh well.
I'll just have to nag more actively, I suppose.

G'night all.

If so I didn't see it, Goldfish and I discussed how it would be ridiculous if they were dispellable but unless my memory is failing me (which it often does) we didn't get WoG.

Excellent.

Btw, I agree with this @Goldfish.
It's one thing to drop those off at our cities, and a very different thing to drop them off at our allies' cities, imo.
Best not to inadvertently make a bad impression of ourselves and our propaganda.

That's why I said we would need to secure permission from the rulers of each city.

I think the Mirrors should be at our embassies/trading houses anyway.
More tightly bind the prestige to our own name while also increasing foot traffic to our holdings, and it's an organic beginning to growing a personal district out from these economic and cultural beachheads.

Might need to be revisited for current levels of acceptable expense and effectiveness.
This being now post mass flesh forgings and spaceships, but yeah it basically does that.
@Goldfish
In the current context do you think it's still unreasonable to have inherent recall ability and still rely on Call Construct?
If we are using Call Construct can we work in an at-will set up in a 24 hour manned warded station?

You are correct they weren't quite finalised.
A little more elongated with a bluesteel construct finish.
Surfsteel Serpent, CR 8
Large Construct
Hit Dice: 12d10+30 (96)
Initiative: +4
Speed: 20 ft., Swim 100 ft., 20ft fly (clumsy)
Armor Class: 22 (-1 size, +4 dex, +9 natural), touch 13, flat-footed 18
Base Attack/Grapple: +9/+28
Attack: Bite +18 Melee (1d8+15/19-20 x2) or Spit Venom +12 (ranged touch)
Space/Reach: 10 ft./5 ft.;
Special Attacks: Improved Grab (Bite), Chokehold, Constrict (1d8+15), Poison
Special Qualities: Construct Traits, Damage Reduction 10/Adamantine, Darkvision 120 ft, Blindsense 30 ft, Immunity to Magic, Dimension Lock, Gullet, SLAs, Poison
Saves: Fort +4, Ref +8, Will +8
Abilities: Str 30, Dex 18, Con -, Int 3, Wis 18, Cha 14
Skills: Hide +25*, Spot +12, Listen +12
Feats: Weapon Focus (Bite), Improved Critical (Bite), Improved Natural Attack (Bite), Spit Venom
SLAs (CL 12): Nondetection, Camouflage - at will.
Chokehold (Ex): A Steel Serpent may chose to deal nonlethal damage while in a grapple.
Dimension Lock (Su): Any creature currently bitten and grappled by a Surfsteel Serpent is considered under the effects of a Dimensional Anchor spell. The effect ends as soon as it's free from the grapple.
Gullet (Su): A Surfsteel Serpent can swallow any unconscious creature smaller than itself. The gullet is an extradimensional space, and there is no extra burden for the Serpent to carry. Creatures inside are stabilized, but do not wake up, and are considered under Nondetection as if cast by the Serpent.
Poison (Ex): A Surfsteel Serpent's bite injects poison from a hidden reservoir within its body. Because it is a construct, the Serpent does not naturally produce this poison, and it must refilled manually. The reservoir holds enough poison for 10 successful bite attacks, after which the creature merely deals bite damage. Refilling the reservoir takes 5 minutes. Any injury poison may be put in the resevoir, though acid, alchemical substances, and even stranger liquids may apply.
*Already includes Camouflage.
Surfsteel Serpents have a +4 racial bonus to grappling and a +8 racial bonus to Spot and Listen.
A lithe automaton sheathed in smoky black dragonscale with the large cold eyes of a deep water predator and sharp swept back wings clearly more at home in the water than the sky.
Unlike most constructs, the Surfsteel Serpent takes great satisfaction and savage glee in it's task though it is still unwaveringly loyal to it's master and never let's indulgence in the hunt get in the way of the mission.
The Surfsteel Serpent attacks from ambush whenever possible, tracking it's quarry tirelessly to maximise advantageous conditions. In a successful ambush the Surfsteel Serpent will prioritise bringing the prey back to it's master by requesting Call Construct.
If an ambush fails the Surfsteel Serpent readily retreats and resumes pursuit, if faced with significant opposition the Surfsteel Serpent will retreat with Call Construct starting a new hunt over.
I would like to add the below to bring back some of what I was envisioning with this plan.
Aberrant Scent (Racial Bonus Feat): The twisting scent of aberrant taint is uniquely potent to a Surfsteel Serpent's senses, you can detect aberrant opponents within 60 feet by sense of smell. In addition, if you have the Track feat, you can track aberrant creatures by scent. You gain a +4 bonus on survival checks when tracking aberrations by scent and may move at full speed without penalty and up to twice your normal speed with a -10 penalty.
I added back in a low flight speed so that it can jump land bridges etc,
I like @Goldfish's idea for getting captures to the Snare though I would like it to be automated rather than waiting for someone to cast it, unless there are shifts. The whole point in a lot of ways is for it to be a terrifying, there one moment, gone the next scenario.
Healing @Duesal has always pushed for mending swarm items so that's good enough for me.
Stretch goal I would also like to have it retain a non-damaging fog effect and the ability to see through it to counter the obvious fallback spell trigger effects Illithid have for when they run into Constructs and Undead.
@DragonParadox
Can I justify a bump to Intelligence with the Life-Spark Gem same as the Elemental Wyrmlings?
Could Yss conceivably grant a Construct inherent boons? I imagine we would not be too concerned about serpentine influence on an already serpentine Construct.

That's my concern, too. Whether or not the expense and crafting time is worth investing in such mono-focused units.
Everything else considered, I think we would be better off not giving them an inherent recall ability or using a Call Construct station, but simply supplying them single-use Greater Teleport charms, if we build them.

Have a little mechanism triggered crevasse in the gullet. When the gullet is full, the construct depresses the switch and breaks the charm, teleporting it and the helpless target.

So it looks like we're not as far behind in crafting mage gear for our 5th level Scholarium graduates as I thought. We haven't actually had that many of them hit 5th level in the last few months, though there are a metric fuckton of lower level ones. One set of Combat Sorcerer gear, two sets of Wizard gear, and two sets of Mystic gear and we're caught up for now.
Our baby mages don't know how good they have it.

I think it's still in our interest to have a dedicated Call Construct effect built into the secure chamber we must have to receive them anyway.
If not The Snare itself we'll need something on that level if we don't want to endanger people with Illithid fishing.

This is rather awkward but i cant seem to find the information for the wyvern anywhere(the fighter jet apparently?), im rather new and ive been binging the thread so i missed where it was discussed im around pg 12000 or so, could someone put a link to where the information is?
Sorry for the inconvenience i would really appreciate the help.
