What does a battery of divination say about the test flight to orbit?
Well or Woe?
Minor complications? Major ones?
Deathly omens and cryptic perils on a scale from 1 to mysterious Asshaii tablets found in a ruin?

Good idea, so on this first test what are we going to do for redesign incase something doesn't pan out well?

[X] No one. As much as one may imagine this a momentous occasion, this is, in fact, but a dangerous technical task, on which the fewer people are on the ship, the less trouble an unexpected break can cause.
-[X] We can show the void above to everyone later, once we are sure the vessel won't break under them, and if something does break - we are aware and ready for it.
-[X] All non-essential crew off the ship for the duration of the testing.
Amended a little, just so that we don't have to go out there and collect frozen giblets in space if a part of the ship decompresses violently.
Just background it as "safety retrofits done" under some rng'ed price from DP.

Azel gone, I have about zero interest getting into details.

Edits, done.
No catastrophic omens but a few odd ones which will be included in the next update

Wait were did Azel go? Did he leave again or something? Last I saw he was good and having a good time participating.

Here's what I've got so far; Advanced Giant Divine Cleric Creature Dire Sea Cat[+15 Racial Hit Dice] (CR 20)
It would result in a CR 20 Gargantuan-sized Sea Cat Herald of the Ferryman. It would be less physically powerful than Nirah, though not by a huge degree, but more magically potent and capable of 9th level Divine magic. I think he would be happy with that.
@DragonParadox, what sort of sacrifice would we need to empower the Ferryman's Herald? I don't think we already paid it in advanced, did we?

@Duesal, would you be fine sacrificing the entities we originally penned in to cut up for Psionic Research?
In the light of recent events, doing it becomes pretty much untenable until after we've dealt with Illithids already.
I reckon, getting MK a Herald would be a better use of that worm and dragon, currently.

I don't support that. The value in those sacrifices is in their variety. We've had setbacks with psionics, a lot of setbacks, but that's not justification to scrap all of our experimental samples.
There are plenty of other things to sacrifice to the Merling King. @DragonParadox just needs to give us the CR requirements that need to be fulfilled.

@Goldfish We can't begin psionic research until we develop more sufficient security protocols. Those "light" defenses are absolutely not sufficient for more than preventing easy access to our other research going on there, or sabotage of the forge.
The new Watchmen servitors help, but we can do better.

Did you mean to tag me on this? I completely agree about delaying Psionics research until our Forge's defenses are at maximum strength.

Here's my entry for the new Water Elemental Creche. I'm going to add it to the Forge Mechanics page.
@DragonParadox, does this look all right? I used the CR costs for other Forge servitors matching the CR of the various Elemental sizes.

I tagged you because you disagreed with upping defenses too much before evaluating what we could do (as we have usually done. We have put off warding so many things mechanically).

Did I? I thought I voted to implement "light" defenses immediately, in addition to other warding spells, while we dedicated research time to developing the much heavier duty defenses.

That's a neat template, but the modified Divine template is much better for a Herald, IMO. It's normally just a +2 CR template, but DP let us use a +4 version for Nirah, Yss' Herald. The +4 version grants all of the special attacks and special qualities of the template, not just a few of them. That includes Divine spellcasting ability.

No, we haven't really done that.
Not in the 2nd month, anyway.
I can walk anyone through my reasoning for the current selection of RAs though, I'm open for discussion... like I'm asking for about 5th time now.
Like, I mean, I get it, some people agree with stuff, some didn't read it yet because it's not "turnvote-time" yet, at least technically.
But I just dislike spending time arguing and compiling stuff in the short day-long window DP's turnovte gives, so I try to force discussion beforehand :/
