Jerynboe

Startup 62: Child Labor

In which Cog is deeply disappointed in Curtis’s ability to make deductions,

Sosima makes plans to cold call a psychotic demigod,

And Curtis fails to explain why murder is bad.

61a: Good Recommendation

Our boy sent out a trio of giant mutants a while back. Wonder how they are doing?

Fun fact: in my version of Golarion, catfolk coloration works a lot like how it does with real cats, in that different cats from the same litter can have dramatically different colors. Pepper and her sister look pretty similar in the eyes of a catfolk, but a human would at minimum assume Cabbie was the one who got a lot more sun. Also I had a bit of fun playing with an image to video app; let me know if t...

Startup 61: Internal Review

In which Curtis considers the tactical applications of cannibalism,

Conchobar sleeps with a woman entirely out of his league,

And Gobron watches from afar.

Startup 60: Schmoozing

In which Mistress D’ave goes shopping with her attendant,

Emrys gives a gift worth more than a year’s wages for someone like Owlbear,

And Curtis gets to appreciate an incredibly hot woman from up close.

Level 7 Feats as well!

Second verse, same as the first. Emrys is starting to be a firm enough build that these will be a little bit more curated and focused on building on areas he’s already good at or responding to recent threats.

Channel Companion- Allows Ve’ra to be summoned into Emrys’s body as a possessing spirit. He will be able to use any skills or supernatural abilities she has, including her new Steal Identity talent, and functionally she will replace Autopilot temporarily whenever he do...

Startup 59: Backroom Deals

In which Syl checks to see if Emrys is a scaly,

Sosima goes shopping with the girls,

And Filli proves her loyalty before having a good cry.

Level 7 spell options

Thanks to that crazy large pile of exp dealing with Kelizar, we are pretty dang close to level 7. That means a new spell and a new feat. So here is the spell poll first. Emrys will be getting Suggestion from his bloodline and a curse spell called Ghoul Hunger that he will probably never use.

Blood Sentinel- Creates a somewhat longer lasting body for Ve’ra, lasting 10 minutes per level. Requires the use of a life sized statue or figurine of a small animal for her to inhabit, which coul...

Startup 58: Misaligned Market

In which Rowe attempts to look as hideous as possible,

Curtis runs the least impressive drinking competition of all time,

And Lubo deals with a petty distraction.

Startup 57: Shipping and Handling

In which Yael loans Emrys her sweet ride,

Dierdre struggles with a new set of instincts

And Conchobar reads some esoteric sheet music

Dragonsthrall visit

Emrys will be visiting Dragonsthrall in order to maintain appearances, and it would be unwise to do so without a plan. Can’t be wasting too much time. We are two experience shy of level 7, but Emrys doesn’t want to spend more than a day or so (or a single chapter) there.

Try to meet Aashaq face to face, even if only briefly. This might take some doing, but it’s worth 1 exp and a magic necklace that will boost Emrys’s magical strength and charisma.

Network with dragons. The...

Startup 56: Arbitration

In which Cog dances with (un)death,

Emrys learns why golems are so expensive for him to make,

And Kelizar shows us all why he’s in charge here.

Startup 55: Crisis Management

In which Halid doubles, triples, and quadruples down,

Dr. Cogward provides free preemptive grief counseling,

And Sandara uses the term “whoreson” as an insult directly in front of Cog.

Startup 54: Sunk Cost

In which Varossa strings along her ex, Jerynboe googles what the effects of a flash freeze would be while underwater, And Ve’ra wrestles w

In which Varossa strings along her ex,

Jerynboe googles what the effects of a flash freeze would be while underwater,

And Ve’ra wrestles with a man nearly twice her size; not in the fun way.

The Many Faces of Dierdre

Looks like our next Companion perk is going to dear Deerdah. That means she’ll be getting multiple forms that Emrys can choose between every time he summons her, with another one coming online every time he levels up. What’s she getting for level 6?

(This is every 6hd fey in pathfinder 1e I could find, whether or not I thought they were actually a good idea, minus a few I felt were redundant)

Dierdre will remain fundamentally Dierdre no matter what happens, which will soften m...

Let’s try that poll again

I made a few critical mistakes when posting the options for a certain mission’s potential rewards, so I’m reposting it. I did get a few votes regardless, so only the options that got at least one vote made it to round 2.

Rowe- Goblin Gunslinger: all goblin followers will learn how to properly use weapons (especially guns) that are altogether too large for them, and Rowe will start building new Kit for herself appropriately. Medium sized guns do moderately more damage than small size...

Startup 53: Offshore Maneuver

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IO1D0RsSEoyVNYUptHkMNZpv9pWDxDN7lXBlD4VyjD4/edit?usp=drivesdk

In which Emrys enlists the dubious aid of a grief counselor,

Sandara harasses an innocent topless woman who is just doing her job,

And Varossa visits her old place of work.

Startup 52a: Budget concerns

Something of a recap of Emrys’s financial situation, level, missions and capabilities within that space. It takes place the night before the

Something of a recap of Emrys’s financial situation, level, missions and capabilities within that space. It takes place the night before they bring Kelizar aboard, because that’s when I started writing this.

Startup 52: Women Led Initiatives

In which Sandara demonstrates the fine art of communicating with a horny man,

Varossa bitches about a former employer,

And Filli begins executing a brilliant plan.

Startup 51: Leveraging Assets

In which Cog beats himself up,

The short king stands to take his throne,

And Emrys realizes that he does have another use for corpses if Jerry doesn’t want them.

Startup 50: Corporate Hospitality

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qzg5kHf5Tj8ZbHlnK0alHJsNCXme9zWaGh5_p2toDKg/edit?usp=drivesdk

In which literally no one cares about Cog’s sick juggling skills,

A dragon turns into a sexy green sphere,

And we get a peek at the Chelish opera scene.

Premium dragon slayer rewards tier

Emrys seems to have a rascally plan in mind to take down this dragon, somehow. Let’s assume that it works; what does he get in return?

Dragon’s blood elixir - When drunk by a person of less than PC tier, advances them to PC tier in a draconically themed class or subclass. Can only be used by party members or followers. Can be used by those already of full player character status, but will instead only provide one bonus feat.

Demand Parley - No man of the sea would dare to stri...

Startup 49: Board Meetings

Naomi inconveniently manifests a spine,

And Sosima asserts dominance

Startup 47: Strategic Pivot

In which Emrys does his best Neo impression,

Curtis shows his true skillset as head of HR,

And Rowe becomes a role model

Taker of a thousand ships.

If Curtis can knock Gobron off his ship and take it over, he will have earned a new perk

Faction Sphere: Shae - establishes a permanent tie to the Shae of House Ankari and backs the alliance with a feat (similar to adding the entire noble house as a follower, making betrayal less likely). Allows Emrys to borrow or purchase items from the Shae without spending spell points to summon Yael. Potential loaned items include weapons, armor, mounts, and alchemical items. Items beneath ...

Startup 46: High Risk Venture

In which Dancing Lights earns its keep as a spell,

No one sacrifices his troops like Gobron, but he does have competition,

And Sosima dances with death.

Sorry for the delay. Turns out multiple consecutive bonus chapters during peak season at my job was a bit much to commit to.

Startup 45a: Jerry

Checking in with our old friend Jerry. Last we heard of him was Emrys sending him some corpses and an invoice. So how did that go?

After that, we check in with our dear dear Sosima.

Startup 45: Treading Water

In which Curtis stares at Ve’ra’s ass,

Bered does not appreciate how much his wife enjoys the taste of testicles,

And Dovnu has a drink with an old friend.

Part 2 of a 5 part series of bonus chapters leading up to Emrys’s triumphant return.

Startup 44: Low Profile Launch

Shishe shows the incredible power that comes from having magic someone else doesn’t know about,

And I’m not going to lie, Emrys and Filli go to a pretty dark place to escape.
