Hello,

I jumped back in when I heard there were claws in the game. They were very nice and I enjoyed myself with the static content and a DM quest or two.

However, as per usual, the human element has been truly special in a negative way, and I'll be taking my leave.

Thank you for making such a lovingly crafted server so profoundly unpleasant to exist in.

Goodbye.

Work requires discretion and experience with secure gates and doors.

Send a letter to Don Souk. He'll get it.

[This has evidently been scrawled by a child, and was probably dictated.]

Dun Souk, um, wants buddies for a big, uh, job-thingy.

Shh, don't tell nobody, and don't care 'bout what the 4th thinks.

Lotsa money for you! Call Dun Souk for deets. Leave your knife stabbed in this here paper if you wanna know more.

Bye!

squeev... my boy...

Have you seen this man's hair or neck?



Please let him know he is not alone in his tragic condition.



He resides at the Banda Fortress.

Hello,

Been fooling around with a lvl 6 ranger with the Vermin FE and I don't seem to get the conditional +2 Listen, +2 Spot, +1 AB, +1 AC, while within the Sewers.

I'm not sure if that's because the Gutters aren't marked as sewers or not, or if that's intentional, but it seems the most sewer-like place I can find so it seems buggy to me.

I've tried resetting bonuses in the crafting tool, transitioning in and out of areas, and no dice.

Thanks!

Greetings,

As a fellow dabbler in the material sciences, I am interested in acquiring membership in your guild.

Perhaps a meeting could be arranged.

Makes for a fantastic assassin, however I do have a couple things to say:

• The summoning theme, which is apparently central to the perk's flavor, is not great? Not mechanically, but thematically. It's just increasingly bigger snakes with the same name up to Summon III. They don't really get any sort of... Nothing new to them? It's like the same creature with a bit of a buff each level up. With the reduced amount of Sorcerer spells taking Summon spells vs taking spells with poisons attached feels like a no brainer.
• The poisons on rest are all spider weapon poisons at least up to level 6. It's a bit odd on two counts: Getting spider product out of snakes, and also being a sorcerer. If  instead of spider weapon poisons, they were ingestible poisons it'd also work better with the perk's "Poison Empower" mechanic.

Basically the Perk has 3 (Summon Theme, Poisons on rest and Poison Empower) aspects to it which are very cool but in practice don't really work together at all.

The poison on spells aspect however is very strong: I tested it on Karpie's fighter by tagging him with a Dark Reaver Powder, which is on Ghoul Touch, and if he hadn't drank an antidote almost on reflex his PC might've died on the spot. DC 18 2d6 + 2d6 CON damage is no joke. 

Your average non-fort class with 14 Con needs to roll a 14 to pass the save if they're level 8 (Assuming no extra saves bonuses), and once they've failed the save they're going to lose 7 points of CON on average, which makes passing the next roll even harder. There's very little chance for counterplay too, since if you're rolling that low on a fort save there's very little chance you passed the spell's DC for Paralysis (DC22 or so on a GSF Necro sorc). If they fail the next roll, they're going to lose on average another 7 con. That's their entire CON score.

Opening the thread cus it seems like a really nasty result out of a single spell from what seems like an inocuous perk.

Great fun tho.

Ambassador,

Congratulations on your appointment. I believe there is an outstanding diplomatic issue with the Banafsi which we should discuss.

Atticus,

I have a first draft of the legal modifications you requested. It's rather simple. For the second bit, I think we'll need to meet and pool some knowledge.

ON THE SUBJECT OF BROOKING WITHIN THE PENAL CODE:

It is a publicly observed behaviour that Brooking with unsightly spirits within the Well is not only a danger to it, but also all surrounding lands. Likewise, a Brooker near the well will put it at risk. Like disease, the trafficking of favors with beings otherwordly twists all who come into contact with the Brooker.

We propose the removal of Brooking outside the walls as a Serious offence, and elevating all cases of Brooking to the Capital. Expediency and celerity in the excision of the canker afflicting the well with its obscene influence minimizes the possibility of a spreading rot. Like the physician acts decisively when presented a gangrenous limb, so must the Well act swiftly when the body is threatened by the mark of the outsider.

ON THE SUBJECT OF EVIDENTIARY PROCESSING OF THE CRIME OF BROOKING:

Apothar Azimi,

After talking with some other witnesses and parties to the Merizad brooking case, I have a couple of follow up questions.

Apothar Azimi,

Going through some older Mermaid Tale issues, I found you were involved with a Djinn curse in the Krak des Roses.

I've got some baublium I don't need. I need the details of that story. Let me know if you've got time to talk.

Balestriere Oar-Back,

I was shuffling through older Mermaid Tale issues and I came across your description of a Djinn curse in the Krak.

I need the details of that story. Let me buy you a round.

These odd postings suffer a trembling hand. They are hastily scribbled. A picture of a strange field littered with rubble is attached to it. It seems to have been ripped from a book. There appear to be strange mechanisms there...
