By the way, I know exactly what I'm taking as my 6th level feat.
Bardic Knowledge
Prerequisites: Bard
You gain a +2 feat bonus to Arcana, Dungeoneering, History, Nature, Religion, and Streetwise checks.
Combined with the 1/2 level bonus we get at 6, this will give me the following skills at 10 or above (plus other notable scores!):
+10 Diplomacy
+11 History
+12 Streetwise
+14 Religion
And my favourite:
+16 Arcana

What???
Jesus! You get like everything! I'm sitting over here with my 5s and 6s for my skills.
I'm about to take Unseen Aid as my utility to give me a +2 every five minutes and you get a +2 willy-nilly! AGH!
*tantrum*
I'm cool. >_>

Now imagine I take Jack of All Trades later on, giving +2 to everything except Arcana, Diplomacy, Streetwise and Insight.
Bringing my Religion to +16 and History to +13, and I think my Nature/Dungeoneering/Acrobatics to double digits.

I hope you die in a fire.
An arcane, resistance-piercing, fire.

Most of a path has been planned out, but need feedback on what you guys would like to see in this week's game. Do you guys want to question Bertrow and involve him into the plot more, or would you prefer to deal with Astrazalian politics more?

I'd imagine somewhat, but that's kind of up to Serin.

Well, I obviously want to involve Betrow as much as possible, but I'm thinking Serin is fine with handling Aztrazalian's politics right now (questioning the council and everything) and saving Bertrow for a bit later. She doesn't really feel like keeping up with a shapechanger in a big city while trying to handle their politics too.
If we get the cube, I'd definitely be asking about that at the very least, but request he remain in jail until our business is settled.

Is that wise? What if we get in a situation where the city is going to cross over and we have to get him out quickly?

Mm, that's a good point too. I guess we'd pretty much have to bring him with us. I guess I could tie a chain around his neck and (seeing as I'm not allowed to escape stuff like that) neither could he.
So yeah, I guess we'd need to collect him and then do some more investigating.

Things just kept getting weirder and weirder...
I think a pile of undead showing up was the most normal thing to happen to us.

So:
Last council member = crazy
Council Member's elected official = unseen and crazy
Mystery Cube
Harmonium
Never-before-seen Earthquakes
Stranger beckons us into an alley and disappears
Le mystique!

I'm curious how we're gonna get out of this path...
I guess following it is a start, but this is just weird. I really hope we're not stuck here so long we get flipped to the Feywild.

I feel guilty for suspecting it, but.... I dunno....
I actually kinda suspect this may happen... But I think Shawn's a better DM than that.

He's like,
"Haha, marvel at my DMing prowess! They-" *looks* "Oh shit. They don't WANT to go to the Feywild. >_>"
Maybe he's planning it so that we escape city limits JUST as the city passes through!
Actually, we still have what? Two and a half days? I think we've only been here for 2, so we've accomplished what we already have in less time than we have left, so we ought to be fine.
... Ought to.

I wouldn't begrudge Shawn if that happened, even though I don't want it to happen. If there's something that happens within the story that we do to cause ourselves to get stuck there, even when we don't want it, I'd rather Shawn not Godhand the events and instead make us be stuck there as consequence, if that is the true consequence of our actions. We didn't HAVE to follow the asshole into this place and get attacked, you know?

It doesn't seem like we did very much to avoid it, considering we could have left after freeing Alderbrush, with Bertrow and the cube in tow.

Just to put aside any fears, no I don't have any plans to keep you guys in Astrazalian when it crosses back over. As someone mentioned I gave you a choice on if you would want to stay or not. You decided not to, so I have no evil desire to go against what you guys want and are trying hard to accomplish. Despite some delays that have kept you leaving the city, you are in no danger of finding yourselves in the Feywild unless you decide to stay on purpose.

Aw. I was hoping you'd keep us in suspense, just like our characters. Will we make it? Won't we?? WHO KNOWS!
