"how many other siege weapons can fire special ammunition designed to deal with a variety of situations?"

Also, one of the dungeons in Artume now contains a Deter-Ant boss monster, possibly specialized in action denial.

You know, between the inept halfling ninjas,* disparity in troop numbers, steampunk cannons and the tequila I've been drinking I'm half-tempted to say screw it and join Team Evil.


*If (s)he's Branson's I am actually starting to consider this a point in his favor--I'm now more afraid of his army than I am his ability to have me quietly assassinated in some grand betrayal.

Team Waike has always had plenty of openings for the ambitious and profit-oriented. I will not railroad you into any particular alliance.

I will note that Sense Motive can tell you Bransen's just fed the party a major load of politician-speak, tailored to the ideals of a stereotypical River Kingdom inhabitant. And there may be some significant subtext.

you mean subtext like "I'm a wind-up Randroid and my disinterest in expanding our borders neatly ties in with my complete inability to expand said borders"?

Fortunately, Reve just put all her extra points into Sense Motive. On a completely unrelated note, she prepared Detect Poison as one of her cantrips this morning. Expect it to see frequent use while we're here.

That went differantly then I expected to say the least but I think we got some valuble info. First I think the regent may have converted a large portion of his weath to artwork that way he could hide his wealth in plain site while keeping under heavy guard in the castle not to mention its lighter then gold. Also if we use the monney he gave us to fund our missions he gets a portion of the credit for our success not that I'm complaining but I think he had more in mind then his towns safety when he handed us that gold. Third I promised I would sell him that blue print but not sell it to anyone else I told the truth if I manage to finish the disign ill sell it to the regent then give copies to all his enimies for free I'm also thinking of building in an intentional week piont

Well, I think you are starting to get an idea what goes on in the warrens. It's... probably a good thing nobody rolled a paladin.

Someone in this game wants their character to try something via PMs. Do we want to do that, or should things stay transparent?

I don't mind, as long as we get at least the gist of it post-game.

Would the skill heal work on non humaniods such as fey or animals?

Yes, but you might take a circumstance penalty.

I have not heard a plan for the 2500 gp the regent gave us I was thinking we just spit the cash 5 ways 500 each and leave the remaining 500 in case koumei comes back or we could just spit it 4 ways 625 each

I think the party might have spent some of it already.

I'm not particularly fussed about it. There isn't anything I want very badly, or at least not in the price range we're talking about.

Realy when? Reve paid for the map with a scroll and veld has been trading spells not spending gold and since no one mentioned greasing there gather info checks with gold I assumed we still had 2500 also yellow paid the enjineer out of his personal stash that's why I reduced the gp on my sheet from 340 to just 40 so unless some monney was spent at that brothel or in a pm I think we still have it all
