Still kind of surprised by this. Just a little bit.
Well hopefully the "in laws" thing will be more tolerable now.
Woo! Shipping power!
This please. I want a monkey pov at long last.

Blood for the Old Gods!
Scarbrand Grovetender is on a roll! Do all of these fights merit him a level up or two?
I'd like an Asha PoV too.

I'd actually like to see Shara vs Belos. It'd be cool to see our elite mooks in action and I'd like to know what Shara's been up to. Has she gotten her sword back yet?
Thoros vs Umber would e awesome to behold.

I mean I'm all for just more blood sport right now. I don't really care who fights as long as they fight. I had a rough class and I need some catharsis. Even if it's fictional.

Thanatopic Spell (Metamagic) – d20PFSRD
Found a nice feat.
Mostly for our enemies, though Wyla might profit from it too.
Good to know our Soulfire stuff is not absolute.

If we start using that feat, I want to have the PF version of Reach Spell available.

Part MMDCLII: Of Bolts and Battle
Of Bolts and Battle
Twentieth Day of the Eighth Month 293 AC
No one raises any further objection against 'Tor's' ghoulish choice of name, though Dany warns him not to play any cruel games with the Windward Society using any memories he may have inherited from the thrice-damned mage. To help keep him from the path of temptation you also require your new vassal to write a book containing all he knows of the twisted empire laying under the Shadow and its dreadful lord. Ink and parchment may yet reveal clues which would otherwise be passed over in simple conversation.
Bidding farewell to Svitran, you leave the temple silently with none daring to ask about the stranger you brought forth from the inner sanctum. As you make your way towards the tower to leave him in Teana's keeping, you are surprised to find Beryl hailing you near the Philosopher's Tree. The redheaded incarnate seems far more at ease than she had been last month, smiling as she greets you.
She reports that the engineering school is on track to opening next month, the influx of new talent from Myr and Lys going a long way towards ensuring that the new school will have a solid core of instructors. "I suspect we might develop a bit of a friendly rivalry with the new university since most of their founders are Braavosi," Beryl declares with relish. "It will help keep us sharp."
"Just as long as it's not too sharp. We wouldn't want anyone trying to settle disputes with bolt throwers," Dany says in jest.
"I'll make sure drunken brawls are the worst the lawmen will have to handle," the incarnate replies in like manner, though there is an edge of seriousness to it just the same. Beneath her fiery manner Beryl shares Lya's thoroughness for any project she takes on.
Siege Engineer and Cannoneer School Progress: 4 + 9 = 13/20

Returning home for dinner you are pleased to find Bronn, Tyene, and Leila returned from their expedition, with tales of conquest and settlement in the wild lands of the Rhoynar. The sellsword in particular seems determined to assure everyone that his deeds there more than make up for missing so much of the melee. Leila, however, seems far grimmer than you had seen her. At first you suspect it is just the return of old sorrows come back to haunt her, but there is steel behind her gaze, a newfound determination. Her familiar seems content to leave her mistress to her thoughts rather than nuzzle her hand or settle in her lap to distract her.
The tale that comes out is gruesome as it is tragic, a young woman slain by a sadistic fey playing games with one of the brigand lords who had surrendered to your companions. "I can't just sit and whisper spells into talismans others will bear in battle," Leila confesses. "I have power, more power than that poor girl ever had, and I can become more skilled, better, so that next time I won't be left holding a body."
A grim place to have found one's self confidence to be sure, but everyone around the table commends her resolve while Tyene is quick to add her own praise for all the help Leila has already been making peace with the more kindly of the local fey.
"So are you interested in trying out for the team fights?" Bronn interjects.
"I'm not... I don't want to play at fighting," the golden-haired mage replied. Then likely fearing she had given offense she adds: "I mean... there's nothing wrong with that, but I..."
"I've found it helps to practice when the stakes aren't for blood," the sellsword replies, waving away her apology. "It helps to plan with a cooler head, not to mention being able to try something that might be stupid when you aren't betting your life on it."
"Umm... I'll think about it," Leila replies, still dubious, not wanting to put herself forward before the crowds.
For the rest of the meal you are careful to keep the conversation to lighter fare.
What do you do next?

Can Shadow!Tor serve as a teacher in the Scholarum when he's not doing tasks?
This has probably already been asked. I guess technically he's more like an advanced student at the moment.
...can he gain levels like a student? Even one or two more through study? Seeing as how most of those caster levels seem more through innate abilities and knowledge, taking a semester of Scholarum courses seems like they would be worthwhile.

I think we should do this.
The Hall of Mirrors can't really reliably answer his question if his daughter is alive or dead.
It would be ore efficient to do a Commune for that answer and then lesser divinations to find out how she is and where to find her.
So we can either offer to do the Commune, or direct him to Yss, rather than let him waste his price money on questions that are suboptimal for our institution's lesser spells.

- Maybe, he is not really that advanced in terms of magic
- Seeing as he is already level 4 I think one more level though study can work.

We should give him to to ... absorb SD before approaching him.
I guess, but I thought it'd be appropriate to talk to him when he finishes in the melee.
@DragonParadox - could we host an official feast? I'm pretty sure that's been happening in the background, but we could specifically go all-out in making the best feast ever with Viserys personally hosting. Maybe at the end of the melee.

Having an Outsider gain Outsider HD (the basis for his casting) through study at the Scholarum feels weird though :/
@egoo, @Duesal - let's have our Drow minions help whoever will be deciphering the Blood Maiden Plaques! @DragonParadox, the input of actual Drow should help to decipher tablets about Drow history written in a language devolved form Drow, right?
EDIT: Statting up the two Drow now. I was thinking of a buddy cop sort of build, where they're decent alone but have abilities that synergize very well. And having them come from a high-magic civilisation, I can justify some sweet sweet caster and magic rogue stuff! No more shitty Ironborn martial builds!

Thank's, but I have no idea how to actually approach him.
The idea is mostly based on meta-knowledge from the interlude, first we have to get there.
- I was thinking a proper sorcerer level if you go for Scholarum training
- That would help yes
- Feats appropriate to a High Magic civ are good yes
So it looks like no consensus on the interlude. Should I just roll for it?
