I'm having hard time not skipping chapters, so I try to pace it all more reasonably OOC.

Ah, see, I don't have this problem. I don't skim updates entirely, only the first read-through to catch any inconsistencies.

Alright. I'm approaching midnight where I live and I have, after a grueling month and a half, managed to read through every story post to catch up with the thread, with a few diversions here and there. It. Is. Done ! I haven't read anything else I've got watched or followed on Spacebattles or sufficientvelocity in that entire time, with alerts piling up left and right! But I have conquered this mountain!

You think you've caught up, but I've seen people who have caught up who are probably hundreds of pages behind us again.

@DragonParadox, can we get the XP and levelups for this arc?

egoo said:
@DragonParadox, before I forget shit actually related to the chapter, could you get us a total account of Devil bodies/prisoners we got from this action?
They've gonna be questioned and have their buddies summoned throughout the next month, as usual for us.

I'll cover these in the morning

If ability to cast Mindblank themselves is unachievable, every divination-confusing method should be added instead.
From spell-like abilities that give false divination info, up to starting designing them from a base of a Lead-encased Soulforged Undead.

They really need Divination-evading capabilities if they are to face hundreds of imps who'll be constantly running divination in Slavers' Bay.

If that's a priority, we can use Pseudodragons as a template again to take advantage of our ability to boost their innate Telepathy to give them the Telepathic Creature template like we did with the Mind Dragons. The Telepathic Creature template gets 1/Day Mind Blank as a SLA.

Instead of using the Mighty template, we could instead add Watchman and increase their Racial Hit Dice. We could tailor their spellcasting to focus on Divination, like Scrying and other useful spells, while also adding stuff to block Divination, such as Mage's Private Sanctum or Nondetection.

We could call them Watchwyrms!

Or else.

Edit: Jokes and obscure meme-vidjya references aside, it's nice to have you here, fam.

Salt mines are closed for renovations, DP promised to open them up "Soon".
Make yourself at home.

Oh, right, there was this to take care of.

With luck there might be an artifact or some legendary crafting materials to take. Maybe a hunk of starmetal.

@Goldfish I really want rolls for mages.

What did they actually recover in the end?

The two templates the devils used on Unsulled. Added for clarity,

Also, now that I'm here, I want to congratulate, well basically everyone who contributed to the quest over the years for making something so fundamentally unique, interesting, and enjoyable that I exclusively read this as online content for the aforementioned 2 months. Bravo DP, Crake, Azel, and everyone else!

@DragonParadox, can we assume the remaining team we have left there, as well as good CR 24.5-Queen already handling that?

Don't you have to empty your library and try to draw a card to win the game?

There's the obvious desire to not share loot, ally or no.

I would like to highlight the most significant contributor to this thread... the one who has crated beautiful art which we can all appreciate... yes, that's right...

@das_slash! We love you!

I was more of an artifact of me not wanting to go through the thread participants 1 by 1 at this late hour in any serious way, thereby making any omissions actually egregious. Know that your blyat has been a treasured companion throughout this journey and a source of much joy.

You guys can delegate it if you want, but if you delegate it to Naamaru she is going to want some of it

Good night guys, see you tomorrow with probably the first results of a lot of background rolls.

Fair is fair, but I think we really, really shouldn't go back to Sarnor this month in any form sans a report.

There's just too much jumping around otherwise, imo.

With out loot-sharing agreement, and eventual subsumption of her state, we'll still get all she loots as a result, will we not?

EDIT: Partial DP'ening.
