She didn't break under torture, that should be worth something.
Actually it was left pretty ambiguous if she broke or not (which I lean towards yes, at least borderline), but it was ultimately irrelevant because she had no answers to give. What she most definitely did do is bounce back vengefully once she got a bit of respite, which was definitely a feather in her cap.
 
If this were negaverse inquisitive scholarium student quest, this whole thing reeks of an event where 'hold out until help arrives and don't break', netting a hefty amount (for the level we'd be at at least) of XP. GM wouldn't just shove such an OP encounter down our throats and not reward us somehow when we come out alive and with the King's interests! Surely!:V:V:V

Or perhaps the encounter was already determined to start with us being saved, but it depended on our preformance and our folllow up questions/guts to see if we caught the Dragon King's attention (thereby giving vindication to the part of the thread which voted to call him out loud during his class at the scholarium).

Don't know if funny or insightful.
 
Oh, she is going to be such a good omake material

I even have ideas for when we make the Inquisition and start purging down Tyrosh from the cultists
 
Entirely unrelated question: @Diomedon, @Duesal, @TotallyNotEvil, @Goldfish, how many hours of Lyre time could we squeeze out per week and player again?
Related to the lyre, we can send out for the most skilled string players in Tyrosh and interview them/delegate interview to use the lyre - add a few protections to the item and get the person to use it. And if they need time to get used to it/magic, all the more reason to get people to look in a day or two.

Doesn't work. After being played, the Lyre goes inert for a week and no mere mortal bard will be able to match Xor and Kira in skill.

As long as the player can continue to make their Perform checks, the Lyre will continue to function. Once they stop, though, it has a mandatory week of downtime.

A Ring of Sustenance to take care of water and nutrition, and to reduce the need for sleep, combined with Keep Watch and Lesser Restoration spells to replace sleep entirely and remove fatigue, would technically allow someone to play indefinitely.

Lyre of Building – d20PFSRD
 
Let's see.

0.5 hours of Lyre equal 100 men working for 3 days. Assuming a 12 hour work day, that's 3,600 work-hours per 0.5 hours and 7,200 work-hours per hour.

Kira has String Instruments 11 and rolls against DC 18 after the first hour, so 7+ is a hit, giving us an average of 14 hours + 1 hour base. She can cast Divine Insight 10 times, allowing 10 auto-successes.

That's a total of 25 hours of playing for a total of 180,000 work-hours per week.

Assuming pre-fab parts, she can chew through 14,400 tons of material in that time. That equals homes for 1,200 persons with perfect infrastructure and plumbing.

Hm... a WIS-booster seems to be in order.

@Goldfish, WIS+2 and a ring with +5 Perform String? Together with the Masterwork Lyre, that let's her play indefinitely.
 
For Mia, instead of the usual Craft Wondrous Item she'd Get at level 5, I'm thinking we shape her into a true inquisitor. There are plenty of anti-Fiend PrCs out there.
Nah this was just a diversion, the Dragon King don't even know of our true plan, to send the world to Abaddon though sacrificing every living soul in the Summer Isles.
That'd be the perfect excuse to conquer them.
 
@DragonParadox could we pay Yss in HDs to refurbish a whole city district instantly / over a short time period?

Dont mind if it is snake themed so long as mortals with legs can live there. :V
 
@Azel, didn't we want to get rid of current Lyre after having finished building everything we can at SD?
Kind of dangerous to use one for everything there is.

Sounds good, but why Wisdom? Perform is a Charisma-based skill.

Could have sworn it was WIS.

Nah. We can augment that number by throwing paid grunt labor at the problem. Use the Lyre to do the heavy lifting of brick-laying and paving, while the finishing touches and some prep-work are done manually.

Will cost us a bit, but flushes coin into the economy, which is a goal in of itself. We need to get slaves into employment and paid employment at that.

A worker costs us 1 IM per month and gets us another home for one person in that time. Splurge 10,000 IM on that and calc in 4 Lyre binges and we got homes for 15,000 people in top condition, as jn we've just build the entirety of SD.

The biggest bottleneck is the materials for that.

Edit: Or homes for 20,000 people if we add Xor.

Material is no bottleneck at all, at least not suitable stone. As I detailed a week or two ago, one day of concerted effort by some of our casters could produce millions of uniform stone building blocks.
