...To commune with Abadar and tell me how far I should trust you and your otherworldly knowledge.

Permalink

That makes sense. You should also put us in an antimagic field and see what that does (if anything).

Permalink

Antimagic fields trade directly against teleports, but maybe.

Kroft will head back to the meeting room to fetch Zenobia and the rest of the party. When she gets there, she intends to say that she intends to spend Korvosa's more-or-less last commune on something, and ask if anyone else has things they'd like asked for if Zenobia winds up with spare questions.

With that intention firmly in mind, Cressida Kroft opens the door...

I hope Liv is doing alright.

Does anyone remember that thing she did that time to turn all her first-circle spells into time stops and gates and wishes?

You had to build for it, I think, it wasn't just a spell you cast...

Sorcerer-something, right?

Hey, Cheryl, what are you doing back behind the GM screen?

What else? 

GMing.

Pathfinder Chronicles: Guide to Korvosa states on pg. 4 that:
Those who live in Korvosa respect and admire ostentatious displays of wealth, power, or knowledge. They consider confidence and competence the greatest of assets, and they deride or heckle those who display weakness, indecisiveness, or inability. Korvosans are quick to judge and slow to forgive. [...] In addition to power, Korvosans love predictability. They like to regulate their lives, creating strict regimens for themselves that they then slavishly follow. Upsetting a Korvosan's routine can ruin his entire day and likely makes him cranky.

And to none does this description apply more than it does one Harmanuel Kendall (who is currently leaping to his feet and slamming his hands on the table - with startling force -, as Korvosans are inclined to do).

His routine is upset, and Harmanuel is cranky.

"So what if Golarion is doomed!" he says, "it wouldn't be the first time that's happened!

Canny men have survived worse! But they didn't do it by pissing and moaning and wishing it just weren't so!"

Permalink

Oh, that's excellent! The Kendall in the room just made a target of himself, which gives the rest of us something to do.

Permalink

With Improved Initiative and a familiar hare, Master Irevotnin gets the first word in.

"This is worse than Earthfall, which killed all the canny men of Azlant save one." 

Permalink

And we're doing more than piss and moan. 

We're selling our souls to Hell.

That counts as a plan, right?

Permalink

Oh really?

You're planning to sell your soul?

You seem a touch soft for Hell, Gaskelinni.

I bet you'd cry.

Permalink

Well, right now I'm waiting to see if anyone else does first

I wouldn't want to sell my soul superfluously, y'know?

I'm not sure my soul would make that big a difference, anyway.
