Decultured. 😏
 
In semi-related news, I believe Baelish's usefulness has run its course. We might want to consider killing him at the end of the month. That should prove distracting for everyone, enough to make a couple of other moves.

Just went back and checked. It looks like DP didn't update Glyra's sheet when I DOn't it to hik. I'll send it to him again tonight.
Crake said:
Ping @Goldfish, he updates the sheets and reminds DP when he has done so as well.

Speaking of which, @Goldfish, append the level-up plan for Velen? He's going up to Bard 7/Sublime Chord 2 up from Bard 7/Sublime Chord 1

  • Pact-Bound (Ex): In spite of her chaotic spirit, Glyra is bound by her Fey nature to follow at least the letter of her liege lord's word. However, should she grow disenchanted with her master or her lot in life the interpretations of that word will grow more and more creative.
  • Discordant Aura (Su): Glyra radiates an aura that imparts both gullibility and susceptibility to mental influence. Creatures within a 20-foot radius take a -2 penalty on saves against Compulsion effects, and Bluff checks attempted against such creatures gain a +5 bonus. This bonus also applies on opposed Charisma checks against a Charmed creature within the aura.

    • Additionally, a group of six Dawn-kin Erinats working together over the course of 1 hour can create an effect identical to Pronouncement of Fate (DC 16) but only if the target has done evil in the sight of one of the Fey. During the casting of the ritual, they must designate one of their number to contain the spell which he or she may later release as a Standard Action.

  2. 2/Day Instantly teleport up to 10 feet to an unoccupied destination within line of sight and line of effect. The wearer can teleport with objects, up to their maximum load, but cannot bring other creatures.
Bag of Tricks (Tan):
  • This small sack appears empty. Anyone reaching into the bag feels a small, fuzzy ball. If the ball is removed and tossed up to 20 feet away, it turns into an animal. The animal serves the person who drew it from the bag for 10 minutes (or until slain or ordered back into the bag), at which point it disappears. It can follow any of the commands described in the Handle Animal skill.
Boneward Belt: +6 Constitution
  • Healing (3 charges/day): 1 charge (Heal 2d8 points of damage), 2 charges (Heal 3d8 points of damage), or 3 charges(Heal 4d8 points of damage)

  • Special Ability: This weapon magically poisons one bolt fired, then requires 1d2 rounds for the to replenish the poison. The poison is similar to Black Marsh Spider Poison, but the save DC increases by +2 for each Size Category the target is larger than Diminutive (DC 20 for Medium).
Earring of Arcane Acuity:
  • 3 Charges/Day: 1 Charge (Darkvision 60 ft., 1 hour), 2 Charges (See Invisibility, 10 minutes), 3 Charges (True Seeing, 1 minute)
Greater Ribbon of Disguise: Alter Self, Magic Aura, Undetectable Alignment (At Will)

Handy Haversack: This backpack is of high quality but appears otherwise normal.
  1. It has two side pouches, each of which appears large enough to hold about a quart of material. In fact, each is like a Bag of Holding and can actually hold material of as much as 2 cubic feet in volume or 20 pounds in weight. The large central portion of the pack can contain up to 8 cubic feet or 80 pounds of material. Even when so filled, the backpack always weighs only 5 pounds.
  2. While such storage is useful enough, the pack has an even greater power. When the wearer reaches into it for a specific item, that item is always on top. Thus, no digging around and fumbling is ever necessary to find what a haversack contains. Retrieving any specific item from a haversack is a Move Action, but it does not provoke the Attacks of Opportunity that retrieving a stored item usually does.
Inquisitor's Redoubt: Create an extra-dimensional space which can serve as a base of operations and secure resting place in dangerous or hostile territory.

Launcher:
  • Somewhat resembling a crossbow where the bow mechanism has been replaced by a two foot long and two inch diameter hollow steel tube, this device allows its wielder to shoot items no larger than Tiny-size or weighing more than 10 pounds using the Launch Item spell up to 440 feet. Where applicable, the wielder must make a Ranged Attack roll to strike a target.
Minor Cloak of Displacement:
  • The wearer is protected by a Blur spell, granting a 20% miss chance on attacks made against them. It functions continually unless suppressed as a Standard Action. Another Standard Action restores the effect.
Muleback Cords: Strength score is 8 higher than normal when determining carrying capacity.

Psionic Items:
  • Crystal Mask of the Mind's Eye: Wearer benefits from a constant Detect Psionics effect.
  • Gloves of Object Reading: Wearer can use the Object Reading psionic power at will.
Portable Nekro-Kraken: Contained within this specialized triple capacity Portable Hole is a CR 15 Nekro-Kraken which is under the command of the hole's owner.

Prankster's Amulet of Protection from Evil: +6 Charisma, +2 Wisdom, +2 Intelligence, +5 Resistance bonus to saving throws
  • 1/Day use Major Image at 5th caster level.
  • Reinforcement(3 Charges/Day): 1 Charge (12 Temporary Hit Points), 2 Charges (18 Temporary Hit Points), 3 Charges (24 Temporary Hit Points), Duration: 10 minutes
Ring of Chameleon Power:
  1. Use Disguise Self At Will
  2. +10 Competence bonus to Hide and Move Silently skill checks.
Ring of Grasping Vines(Slotless): This polished steel ring is crafted to resemble tiny braided vines.
  1. The user can cause the cable to retract back into the ring as a Swift Action with a pulling force equal to their own Strength attribute. The cable must be retracted before it can be extended once more.
  2. The ring can produce lengths of steel cable (Hardness 10, 5 HP, Break DC 26) that look and feel like a sturdy plant vine. At will as a Standard Action, the user can shoot a cable from the ring as though it were a grappling hook, except the range increment is 50 feet and its maximum length is 100 feet.
Soulfire Mithral Bracers of Arcane Freedom (+1):
  1. 2/Day apply the Still Spell Metamagic feat to a spell as a Swift Action.
  2. Immune to all Death spells, magical Death effects, and Energy Drain, and any Negative Energy effects
Spectacles of Aberrant Revelation: Wearer benefits from a constant Detect Aberration effect.

Spectacles of Understanding: Wearer benefits from a +5 Competence bonus to Linguistics skill checks and can read unknown languages as if affected by the Comprehend Languages spell.

Staff of Swarming Insects (50 Charges):
Traveler's Anytool: This 12 inch iron rod can transform into any tool the user might need, including Masterwork-quality artisan tools.

Wand Bracer: Up to five wands can be stored in this clever bracer. A wand can be drawn from the bracer as a Swift Action.
  1. Wand of True Casting (43 Charges)
  2. Wand of Resilient Sphere (41 Charges)
  3. Wand of Dimension Door (47 Charges)
  4. Wand of Cure Light Wounds (50 Charges)
  5. Wand of Reach Shivering Touch (32 Charges)

This is ridiculous, we've not had a single hint of them being advanced in this discipline.
 
I've added Velen's level up proposal to my plan. Velen's character sheet will be one of my next projects. It's in severe need of an overhaul, and he needs some basic gear. We'll take care of that this month for sure.

For Velen's level up, there isn't really any focus on significantly enhancing his combat power, as that's never been his focus. Instead, he's keeping to his preferred support role. Good Hope is a fantastic multi-target buff spell and Song of Healing is a great way to augment already really effective Bardic Music performances to provide ongoing healing.

I've selected Encouraging Spell as Velen's new feat because it makes several of his spells more effective. Increasing Morale bonuses by +1 might not sound like much, but it's actually pretty damned amazing. With it, Velen's Elation spell goes from +2 Strength/Dexterity to +3 for both, his Harmonic Chorus spell goes from +2 caster level/spell DCs to +3 for both, and his Good Hope spell goes from +2 to saving throws, attack rolls, ability checks, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls to +3.

And if he uses Moment of Greatness on those affected by his Encouraging augmented Morale boosting spells, they can temporarily double the bonus. A +6 bonus to anything listed above, even for only a single action, is amazing.

[] Velen Level Up
-[] Attribute: +1 Charisma
-[] Feat: Encouraging Spell
-[] Class: +1 Sublime Chord
-[] Skills (4 points): +1 Diplomacy, +1 Knowledge (Arcana), +1 Perform (Oratory), +1 Sense Motive
-[] New Spells
--[] 3rd Level:
---[] Retrain: Dispel Magic >>> Good Hope
--[] 4th Level: Song of Healing

@egoo wanted that included. I didn't mind adding it, as a balm to his paranoia. I agree, however, that the Efreeti aren't likely to have any such capability.

What if I just left the part about mentioning the Wyrmling Red Dragon so they can be on the lookout?

Sure, most likely she's just a chair ornament now.

But if she isn't, do we want to keep such info away from our far more involved allies?

Dragons are a really rare strain of shit to find across the Planes, and Chromatics - doubly/triply/quadrupy so.

I have little faith in Efreeti not putting her to some use in their war-campaign, as a unique resource if nothing else, and it all stands on what DP decides to roll for them.

If it annoys you overly much - feel free to delet, I will not try to choose it as the hill to die on.

But I still think warning the spymasters of the possibility is a sensible idea.
She's Mindblanked against Divination already, after all.
 
Yes, please remove it @Goldfish, and I will underline why it is ridiculous and runs contrary to much of the current world-building.

A) The Deep Ones have numerous Flesh-Grafters and Shapers, and do a lot of their work in much the same way we have produced artisans in the art of enchanting--by hand, with the least skilled doing the busy-work and dealing with the dregs/servitors, and their most skilled making the complex horrors.

Which leads into:

B) Neither the Deep Ones, nor the Efreeti, have Flesh Forges (dubious veracity for the Deep Ones, I admit, but that does nothing to explain why the latter would have the capability), which is as close to 3D printing an army as you can get without having something similar to the Anvil that one Marid Emir had his hands on.

This has huge implications for the setting.

C) The Efreeti are more likely to have constructs in their army than war-beasts, as evidenced by everything we have learned about their magical disciplines. They also seem to heavily favor mercenaries and Outsider generation, as observed by the Divs.

Would Fey Spell Versatility be a good future feat for Theon/Soft Strider? Theon was a sailor/officer under Moonsong and the Children of the Forest are fey right?
Click to expand...

That could be pretty nice for Theon, since he's a Mystic Ranger and already able to cast 4th level spells despite only being level 8.

Definitely one to keep in mind for when he reaches 9th level and learns a new feat. There are several useful spells he could add to his Ranger spell list.

Jesus, Varys as an actual force of stability in Robert's court. The absolute actual hilarity of it all. And cool, looks like Other memetic power's aren't that strong, go ahead and frame away. Though I'm thinking depending on how weird the kid is, it might join the changeling triplets et al as Viserys' ward on virtue of being an interesting magical oddity.

And man I'd love to know exactly what shook Baelish up so much. Did one of those Daemons Hannibal lecture him on how shallow and self defeating his whole "king of the ashes" shitick is?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

King of the Ashes was only Baelish's Motivation in the show, in the Books he simply wants to prove Hoster Tully and everyone who was dismissive of him as a youth wrong by taking over a Major Lordship like the Vale and making Sansa his replacement Cat.

The show motivation doesn't even make sense for the backstory he was given. it was yet another baffling change from Martin's Original material. . .

It's not the worst change though, that would probably be the character assassination the show did on Stannis Baratheon. . .

From the Mage Guilds at least I can confirm that they don't have much of a tradition of fleshcrafting.
The Brass Shapers are the closest to these arts and they prefer to work in metal and souls, for Golems and such, with regular undead as a secondary discipline.

Flesh is not viewed as a particularly respected material to craft with there.

When the Efreeti enhance living creatures, it results in things like Rune Giants or Fire-infused warbeasts. Meaning it comes from breeding and directly applied magical augments, not mix-and-match fleshworks.

Edit: Doesn't mean they are sure not to have good fleshcrafters though. There are lots of mages in the City, some will try things outside of the major traditions.
