They're Russians, if he really want to threaten them go for the liver or kidneys, you need those to drink vodka, and there's no worse punishment, than forcing a Russian to be sober :D
 

b/c I needed a break from midnlessly translating the 20 pages of copypasted texts from articles and research papers for my own pointless work.

@DragonParadox are you interested in ideas for nonsense things Viserys could have gotten? Maybe some Sand sculpt Resin so he can make epic sand sculptures in his copious free time? A Snake Charmer's Flute that makes the same sound a Quasit does when it comes out of Smokey Confinement in Yss's sanctuary? Perhaps Soul Soap to help wash up after a long day interacting with snotty nobles? :V

I counter your Sandsculpt Resin with Shapesand!
Shapesand

Shapesand is a special kind of wasteland soil that is psychoreactive; it can be sculpted into any form according to your will. The new object is made of sand, but serves as a normal item of the same sort. A shapesand hammer functions just like an ordinary hammer, and a shapesand waterskin is just as watertight as an ordinary skin.

Controlling shapesand is an exercise in willpower. A DC 16 Wisdom check establishes control of a volume of sand based on the shaper's Wisdom score:

Wisdom ScoreControllable Volume
1-3None
4-71-ft. cube
8-112-1/2-ft. cube
12-155-ft. cube
16-197-1/2-ft. cube
20-2310-ft. cube
24++2-1/2 ft per 4 points of Wisdom

If your Wisdom check succeeds, you can reshape the volume of sand as you desire. Once control is established, the shape lasts as long as you remain within 100 feet of it. Thus, those with sufficient patience and strong enough will can construct small fortresses out of shapesand, even if they must do so a few cubic feet at a time.

Another character can wrest control of a shapesand item away from you by succeeding on an opposed Wisdom check, though the winner's Wisdom score must be high enough to shape an item the size of the one contested. For example, if two characters are attempting to control a 5-foot cube of shapesand, the challenger must not only beat his opponent's roll, but must also have a Wisdom score of at least 12.

If you are a sand shaper or a cleric with the Sand domain using shapesand in conjunction with your sand shaping abilities, you do not count shapesand items against the total number of items you can maintain at one time. In addition, if you are a sand shaper, you can give control of shapesand objects to other individuals, and those items persist even if the new owner takes them outside the normal 100-foot control area. The new owner need not make a Wisdom check to establish control of the item, so long as his Wisdom score meets the minimum requirement for the object's volume.
This stuff can be produced via Alchemy. I've thought about proposing to mass produce it, but it's fairly pricey (20 IM to 10 pounds to purchase, 6.67 IM to craft). Would still be very neat to have, though.

That's pretty cool, though it does have limits in that it is a really flexible multi tool and not a vector for changing mundane material directly. It probably makes a better gift, but for mass production it's kind of meh.

the resin might actually be useful for something like that though. Suppose you set up something like the hardening chamber but for Sand to Stone. Resin could be used to make lots of sand sculptures of simple goods like coffee mugs, cooking equipment, and various home goods like that. Pop them into the sand to stone chamber and pull out an item made of solid rock without any obvious tool marks or hidden material flaws, presumably in the same coloration as the sand it was made from.

Cheap, durable, good looking, and easy to make. We'd make a mint on it if we ever had the free time to set it up and a way to get a stable resin supply without using up crafter time at industrial levels.

Yeah that was a mess and a half. Sorry about that.

The problem is not in you at all.
The problem is that instead of setting clear goals for yourself. To kill Lucan, or to gain recognition from the belief that Robert was illegal, we got into some completely meaningless petty political squabbles. Poured into a thread that seemed to be about to apologize to Lucan for "all the evil that we have committed."
To be honest, I don't know what's next and I'm frankly scared to read the discussion further ...

No, the problem was me. I tried to force the narrative in a way it should not have gone. That is all I'm going to say on he matter, no sense stirring up old issues.

Well, at least judging by the fact that no one even noticed my last post.

Mah man, that is a know problem for some people here.
I have no idea what causes it, but several new participants that came in, had their posts appear for everyone else only hours after writing them.

So, uh, don't take it personally, chances are, it was literally not seen by anyone.
Iirc, Bronzetongue's and Nickan's first posts had the same issue happening?

Conclave was a shitshow for all the parties involved, because the thread lacked direction, QMs lacked coordination between each-other, and I personally egged Azel on and then did 180 on him, of which I'm not proud of.
We all got cucked in the end, so we choose to not look back at the moment whatsoever.

Yep. I don't recall how long it took, but there was significant delay on my first few posts. I think it's an anti spam policy; if a new account is made and starts posting ads everywhere or something they can catch it before it even makes it to the site.
