Fire & Safety Information
Your safety and security is our top priority. Keeping this in mind, the residence halls are secured by a card swipe system or locked entrance. You will have access to your residence hall only.
Safety and Security officers patrol the campus, including the residence halls, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Residence Hall Safety Tips
- Keep doors and windows locked, especially when sleeping or when you are not in the room.
- Secure valuables out of sight and password protect your computer.
- Know your neighbors.
- Know the location of the nearest blue light phone.
- Report suspicious people or events to Security.
- Do not give your keys or student ID to anyone.
- Report lost keys and/or IDs immediately to Residential Life or Security.
- Do not prop doors open or leave doors open. Propped-open doors provide access for intruders.
- Do not loan your credit cards or your pin numbers to anyone.
Fire Safety Information
Fire Hazards
In order to keep the residence halls and campus buildings safe for everyone, the College has identified specific fire hazards that are prohibited on-campus.
Candles/incense may not be burned in the residence halls for any reason, including religious purposes. Please contact your residence director for assistance in finding an appropriate location for burning candles or incense for religious purposes.
Fire Alarms
- Feel the door to see if it is warm (if warm, remain in room and call for help [i.e. phone, shout]). Test the intensity of heat in the corridors by touching the inside of the door or doorknob.
- Wake roommates and suitemates.
- Close windows and doors as you leave. Lock your room door if there is no presence of fire or smoke in your room or in the hallway.
- DO NOT USE ELEVATORS. Walk to the nearest stairwell. If the stairwell is blocked by smoke or fire, use the other exit(s) located in your hallway. If you have special needs, wait for emergency personnel in your designated evacuation area. If you have special needs that have not been disclosed to the College, please contact the fire marshal at (585) 385-8025 to discuss your evacuation plan.
- Leave the building and move to your building's (see table below) and wait for further directions.
- Keep out of the way of the Fire Department equipment.
- Return to building only when instructed by a member of Safety and Security.

Fire/Safety Inspections
The College makes periodic fire/safety inspections of the rooms during the year and reserves the right to remove all items considered to be fire/safety hazards. Any questions regarding the acceptability of items you wish to bring into the residence hall or about electrical hookups must be directed to the campus fire marshal.
Emergency Information for Parents
Emergency Phone Information
Your student should list his/her emergency contacts in the ResLife Online system, which is the place that they apply for housing.
Medical Emergencies
If your student is involved in a medical emergency during the day, you will more than likely be informed by your student from the Health & Wellness Center. You will not be contacted by the Health & Wellness Center if your student makes a routine visit. The Health & Wellness Center is unable to give out any information without permission from your student.
In the event your student is involved in an after hours medical situation involving transportation to the hospital, every effort will be made to contact you at the phone number that your student has on file.
Insurance Cards and Medical Emergencies
All students must have health insurance and it is advisable that your student brings his/her insurance card to college in case of an emergency. Students should also know to what medications they are allergic.
Weather Emergencies
Should the College need to close for any weather emergency, it will be broadcast in the Rochester area on 1180 WHAM as well as local TV outlets. Information will also be posted on the main College website www.sjfc.edu. Please do not contact the College switchboard or the Office of Safety and Security; both need to remain open for emergency calls.
Be Fire Safe Every Day
- Unplug hair dryers and curling irons when not in use.
- Be aware of your surroundings - Know Two Ways Out [pdf]
- Don't use space heaters. Report any heating issues in your room to Facilities.
- Don't use extension cords or cube taps.
- Don't overload power strips.
- Keep halls and stairwells clear of clutter.
- If the building evacuation alarm sounds - leave the building.
- Know your residence hall short-term and long-term assembly points.
Residence Hall Fire Alarms
Smoke detectors are sensitive to a number of items in addition to smoke from fire, including high levels of dust, powders, steam and mists. A room or hall smoke detector may activate upon exposure to these products. This type of activation is classified as a nuisance alarm. The Fire Department must respond in emergency mode to any fire alarm activation on Campus, and the College can be fined by the Town for excessive nuisance alarms.

An oil and water tonic at an Italian spa proves the right treatment for a troublesome tum
MISSION To see whether a few days of relaxation at a hotel and spa deep in the heart of Chianti country could help to relieve an uncomfortable bout of irritable bowel syndrome.
USP Signature spa treatments that use extra-virgin olive oil prepared from the olives grown on the hotel's large estate. Plus, location, location, location. Before even a potion is uncorked or a lotion applied, the glorious views of the rolling Tuscan hills as far as the eyes can see, with vineyards, olive groves and the odd medieval village dotted around, are a sight for sore tummies.

The suspect is a man, approximately 5-feet 6-inches tall, and according to police he has a "large build with a belly and a deep, loud voice." He was wearing a blue Adidas hooded sweatshirt with a front zipper and white vertical stripes under the sleeves, gray sweatpants, and blue Skechers shoes. He had a unknown type mask and wore gloves.
Anyone with information is asked to contact state police at 357-1960.

My take away from this set? Aubrey's dress is refreshingly different- not sure I love it but there's something about it that's kind of interesting.

Thank you for Ron and Tammy Swanson with my boo Aubrey Plaza to ease the heartburn of Giuliana Tansalona.
Aaron Eckhardt! <3ReplyCancel
Rancic looks Rancid in that dress… and someone give her a cheeseburger and a pizza. PLEASE.ReplyCancel
The fabrics this year all look so CHEAP. Is it the HD on my TV that's confusing me? Have they always looked this thrifty and dare I say homemade?
It's reminds me of the 2009 awards, during the financial crisis, when everybody eschewed luxury so as not to be gauche.ReplyCancel
The NY Post is claiming Bono dissed Puff Diddleywiddley when he pulled away from a kiss he was about to receive from him.ReplyCancel
We get it J. Law, you're so "real"
Bono is the WORST.
Love Audrey but that dress is no goodReplyCancel
Loving Leslie Mann's and Jennifer Lawrence's dresses!! Taylor Swift is freakin' flawless!!ReplyCancel
I like megan mullally more with her brunette locks. Love her dress though.
Giuliana rancic actually looks good in this pic. Dare I hope that she ate a sandwich. Yeah, I kmow thats a stretch. Well maybe a quarter of a sandwich without the bread lol. Tand for godssakes some one needs to tell her to stop with the smile. It looks garish, cryptkeeper-esqueReplyCancel
I don't think JLaw is going to change to a scripted automon any time soon. Aren't there enough former Disney stars her age to be robotic in interviews? (I don't think I've ever seen a real moment in a Zac Efron interview)
There may be a touch of Frances Farmer in her. At least she's safe from helpful lobotomists in this century. Let her be.ReplyCancel
Leslie is so pretty, but she's lost too much weight and injected too much botox.ReplyCancel

I'm a big fan of W Bed home furnishings. I personally own a feather bed, duvet, sheets and even the grey bath robe (hey it pays to be a work-at-home blogger sometimes!)
The W store frequently runs sales, but today they are on one of my favorite online discounters RueLaLa.com. It's an invite only site, so you can use my referral link to sign up if needed (I get $10 in credit if you buy anything). This site routinely has discounted vacations/luggage/jewelry, etc so I use it pretty frequently. As always, comparison shop before you buy anything to make sure you are getting the best deal.
I like Rue La La especially because you can get 4 points per dollar through Chase Ultimate Rewards and 3 American or 2 Delta miles per dollar through their shopping portals.

Take A Friend Fishing
By SChaconas - Published November 06, 2013 - Viewed 2263 times
It was an interesting week. While it was slow, things did pick up, but you had to be versatile. Fish were in suspected areas, but you had to work for them. While some soft plastics like tubes and stick worms landed a few fish, the lipless crankbaits were the winners. Size did matter, not to match a bait size, but for ease of snapping out of thick grass. The lighter smaller Lucky Craft LV 100 was perfect. Long casts and holding rods high to keep the bait from going too deep allowed the bait to just barely snag the grass and be snapped free with a controlled fall on semi slack line. Fluorocarbon line enabled sharp strike provoking snaps.
One of my regular clients, who usually fishes with me alone, brought a buddy! This is fun, but different. When there's only one guest on my boat, I can provide 100% of my attention. With 2 guests, the person on the front of my boat gets about 70% of my attention. In this case, my regular client was on the back of the boat and was content to share this trip with his friend. We had a great time.
I tried to bring the guest up to speed, as my regular knew the ropes as we fish a lot together. Everything from the terrain, to the lure selection, to how to vary retrieves...it was new for him. It didn't take long to start catching a few fish and enjoying the conversation and company. The guys had a blast. They had been talking about this trip for a while. It was their first fishing trip together. I don't think it will be their last. They spoke often about getting together again soon.
It was nice to be the middleman in forging a fishing friendship. By breaking the angling ice, these guys found a level playing field. Whether fishing with me or in their own boats, these guys have now found an additional level to their friendship.
Take a look at my latest BoatUS ANGLER DIY column - Bugs Bunny Meets Kermit The Frog http://www.boatus.com/angler/bugs-bunny-meets-kermit-the-frog.asp
Until next time, see you on the water.
WEAR a PFD! I'm gone fishing.
Capt. Steve Chaconas

The shite name really belies the quality of this release.
Written by Erik M. on 09.09.2014 at 21:55
It's a typical BM album title. I don't see what's wrong with it. In fact, I like the title... though that's probably just about the least important thing about the album.
Written by !J.O.O.E.! on 09.09.2014 at 21:57
I don't think it really represents the music all that well tbh. Even if the music did match it's a dumb combination of words.
Written by Erik M. on 09.09.2014 at 22:00
Yeah okay, I guess the title does come off as a bit funny, in a silly way (or vice versa). I still like it though...
Written by !J.O.O.E.! on 09.09.2014 at 22:02
BTW I'm referring to the band name, not the album name, which is just very generic I hadn't spotted you said BM album title up there.

Lin was beside herself, Min was going to be Furious with her, this had not been one of her best ideas. It was too late to scold herself though, best thing of a way back, right away. As she focuses on the sights sounds and the foul smells around her, she found the sounds of the children screaming made her feel torn between pressing on or finding a way back to inform the others of what was within this terrible portal. She pressed her head against the red 'X' hoping it would bring her back to the promenade. The smell was slowly filling her nostrils and she tried desperately to not grit her teeth in righteous fury at the oppression that surrounded her.
If the X, fails to provide any results.
She quietly makes her way towards the door on the right and keeps a wary eye around her as she hoped to not be discovered yet.
K: History - does Lin know of any possible prisons residing in a volcano? lol... >.>; 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Perception 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24
Stealth 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
|Sir Justahl of NeoWald
|DM Downrightamazed
Did Ad'an or anyone actually succeed in detecting alignments DRA? I am assuming no at this point ;), welcome back btw! Have fun? :O
No magic of any sort works in, or can pass through, the gem prisons. And thanks! Good to be back, and fun was had, though it's kinda a fire-to-frying pan situation. Thus far, this is the only pic of the weekend's shenanigans, though I'm sure more will surface eventually. (I'm the one in the middle with the guitar and all the hair, obvs.:-D)
|DM Downrightamazed
Any luck getting a bit of blood or other item from Ormir for scrying purposes?
Kelne let out a faint sigh of relief at seeing Lin return through the tapestry. It hadn't occurred to him until too late that the portal might be one way, nor that there might be such a sharp transition.
"Alright, that's another tapestry to steal," he said, "Lin, if you could bring it down and start rolling it up, I'll give the others a hurry along. We don't have much time." With that, he ducked back into the prison/treasury tapestry, intent on chivvying the others along. The dragonflight had been very organised, and while he thought they still had enough time to get out without being intercepted, there was no sense cutting things fine.
Which puts Kelne in line to crash into the escaping wyvern. If he sees it coming, he'll let it go without trying to stop it.
When Lin reappears, she falls back unceremoniously on her rear. Visibly shaken, she rises shakily and looks to Kelne. "A terrible place lies beyond, the smell of death and sounds of pain linger in the air. The earth beneath your feet is hot to the touch, burning hot. There was a door to my left a great ways and that was where the sounds were coming from, to the right was a similar door but no sound emanated from it and a great red X was splattered on the wall behind where I appeared. That X was how I returned here thankfully." As the shock wears off an anger rose in her, the sounds of the children screaming echoed in her ears. She turned to Kelne looking him dead in the eye. "I swear I will crush the information out of Ormir when I find him, I will make him reveal what that place was so that we know how to save those trapped there..."
Remembering that the dragonflight were quickly approaching Lin rose to her feet, shaking off the remaining brurning sensations that were creeping across her scales. "So how long unitl we are ready to move the tapestries?"
Thanks for the response DRA, thats what I had thought. ;) Awesome pic, must be an awesome lifestyle to have, traveling around and performing. =)
Lin nods to Kelne and begins doing as he asks, making sure to start on the other side of the tapestry and avoid getting pulled back in again. She made sure to work quickly as to avoid dilly dallying as the Red Dragonflight came ever closer.
DRA: Do I need to make rolls to Roll it up or handwave? ;)
How close are Jorzan and Belsarious-and whoever else is helping-to cutting and rolling up the Stormfare tapestry?
Jorzan again briefly looks over his shoulder at the crash but otherwise keeps hurrying at his work
|Aylaeth Brely'an
Aylaeth also calls out to the fleeing creature but in Draconic "Stop! We mean you no harm! This is why we freed you!" but does nothing else to stop it.
She does though put a hand on Min's shoulder to stop him, and as well puts up a hand to stop the Paladine Justahl as well when he moves to help, saying "Hold a moment friends. I moved to free the Wyverling as we could be fairly certain that it would not prove to be an enemy. With these three others however, we have no such assurances at all. They are in no danger at the moment in their prisons and as we are taking this prison with us, we shall be able to free them at a more opportune place and time. Should this Elfess prove hostile, that would take more time we simply do not have, for the Red Dragonflight is almost upon us. So we must gather the tapestries and flee this place with all due haste."
In the Promenade
Startled at Lin's dissemblance, Tora'a snorts a quiet sigh of relief at her return. At the mention of the children in peril though the noble celestial steed becomes rigid with anger and says with some heat "Children! We must see to their safety at once!"
As he hears the windy woman speak, Jorzan calls out without even turning around "Right! So less talky talky and more cut-y cut-y. The more of you helping with this the quicker it will be done!"
He fails to see the glare directed at his back by the magus, but he does smile slightly to himself as he sees her move to help with taking the tapestry down.
|DM Downrightamazed
|DM Downrightamazed
With everyone chipping in, all the tapestries are about wrangled and wrapped. As Kelne moves to the north tapestry, he is surprised when a silver-and-black wyverling suddenly rockets unsteadily out of the thing and makes a b-line for the hole in the wall. The tiny proto-dragon sails out into the night and disappears without a word.
If Lin has assistance, she should be able to yank down the southern tapestry and roll it up in just a couple minutes. The ones in the Promenade are quite large; 40'x40' and nearly an inch thick.
|Belsarious II
Just to be clear, we are only going to be cutting down and rolling up 3 tapestries in total. The Stormfare one, and the two in the Promenade. So are you saying that we are finished with the Stormfare one, have all left the prison and are almost finished with the two in the Promenade? Oh, and btw, before they leave the prison, Jorzan does make sure to retrieve his magic rope
|DM Downrightamazed
"Alright, let's move, people," Kelne said, reentering the room, "The red dragonflight's unquestionably gotten the upper hand, and it'll only be minutes before they arrive here."
He helped pick up the Stormfare tapestry, intent on carrying it back out onto the promenade.
Sorry for any confusion on my part, just trying to get the timing of everything right. If we've also rolled up the tapestry to the prison, that would mean we would have also all left it already, correct? So..
When Kelne came in Jorzan nodded and helped carry the Stormfare tapestry out. Once in the Promenade, he again used his slippers to help roll up the prison entrance. With everyone helping, it had gone much faster.
As they finish rolling up the prison tapestry, Jorzan moves to help Lin roll up the Southern one.
Hope that works to get us all caught up?
|DM Downrightamazed
From off outside the palace courtyard comes a series of heavy thunks that you all instantly recognize as the sound of catapults firing. That same distinctively whistling hiss that you heard earlier makes you all look up in time to see several more flaming catapult bolts headed your way. Most strike other parts of the palace, but one hammers through into the west ballroom, rolling and sliding across the once-elegant marble, carving great rends in it as it goes. The entire floor shakes under your feet. The white dragons roar in triumph, and the sound grates on Lin and Min's nerves like fingernails across a chalkboard.
It looks like the last of Ormir's defenses -- those that chose to fight and not run, anyway -- have fallen, and the Red Dragonflight is now going to stand outside the perimeter of the castle courtyard and take down big chunks of it with their catapults. To what end, none of you knows. Surely they must have some idea of the riches contained herein?
A shattering crash reaches your ears and you catch one of the towers crumbling to bits out of the corner of your eye. Maybe the Red Dragonflight don't care for riches...
Cassandra is hugging her brother. She looks from Kelne to Jorzan to Justahl with tears in her eyes. "He's going now, isn't he? With the dragon-man and the others? I have to leave him don't I?" For his part, Kevin is trying to be stoic, but it's clear he's lost and terrified. The phylacteries on his chest gurgle and bubble and he winces in pain. The level of the liquid contained therein is alarmingly low, and the glow of his eyes is dimming.
|Sir Justahl of NeoWald
Sir Justahl puts his arm around Cassandra and tugs his helmet off. Looking at her directly, he tries to be reassuring.
"Cassandra, we... YOU have accomplished a monumental task and have snatched your brother from the jaws of the Baron. But the task is not finished yet. To recover his life, Kevin must venture to Stormfare with these Dragon Knights. He has a fighting chance, but he must go without you. For now. Until your task is accomplished."
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28
|Min Bein'Meleth Rámalóce
Min wasn't pleased at the idea of leaviing those people imprisoned in a room with a devil or demon in a neighboring crystal. Although as he listened to the sounds of the Red Dragonflights bloody victory and the imminent fall of Ormiria he couldn't help but shake his head sadly. There wasn't anything they could do, although if the white dragons showed their faces he would bring them down. Hard. He had saved some of his more powerful arrows for just such an occasion.
As Sir Justahl reassured the young child, Min kneeled down and looked her in the eyes "Cassandra is it? My name is Min, my large friend friend here is Lin and we promise to take good care of your brother for as long as we can. Besides this isn't goodbye, this is but a short parting because in the end you will see him again and he will be better then before. But for now little one we must go, this place isnt safe for any of us.". With that Min stands and nocks a tier 2 flamestrike arrow as he waits for the others to enact their plan.
"All capable archers nock arrows and prepare to counter attack, best we hit them hard if they stick their ugly snout in here." He drew back on his bow and readied to fire at the slightest provacation.
Lin was torn, but as the tapestry was fully rolled up she looked to Tora'an and shook her head sadly. "As Much as I wish to save them we cannot just yet. Besides these tapestries are their's to deal with, but I do hope that Ormir is brought to just over the foul pacts he has made..." As the flames spread in the west Ballroom, Lin turned and gave a great gout of ice to extinguish any that threatened the tapestries, temporarily driving back the flames. But as she finished exhaling yet another blast of her icy breath, she turned to watch out of the hole in the ceiling. She was tired and her strength was flagging but as Min had said to her earlier. Hold as long as you can and she would do just that.
To the last breath if needed...
Then she remembered that the wolfguards had used arrows similar to what Min used and she trundled over and inspected the fallen enemies. " Could someone aid me, they had those Enthaldi arrows, I would hate to see those go to waste under rubble..." Lin starts scrounging up what she can prior to the departure. She tries to gather up at least one set of blades the wolfguards were wielding and sni[s the slings off the quivers as she tries to carefully pluck the quivers off the fallen and set them in a pile near Min as she turns and puts the Warbarian Quiver closer to him so he could sort them.
The entire time though Min watches out of the gap in the ceiling.
@DRA: To save you some time reading~ Gather a set of Wolfguard blades, and whatever arrows and pouches Lin can get before we leave.
|DM Downrightamazed
Cassandra nods solemnly at Justahl and Min and squeezes her brother, gently so as to avoid touching the phylacteries. She then looks up at Min. "Thanks Dragon-man. I hope you get your arm back from the swamp. Don't sit on the tree stumps!"
As another volley of catapult bolts comes sailing in, everyone except Karthan and Lin step through the Stormfare entrance. After working quickly to roll up the tapestry as huge chunks of wall and flaming stone crash and tumble around them, Karthan invokes the teleportation spell, and the two of them vanish to the quad, which the half-orc knows so well that there is essentially no chance of the spell misfiring.
The two join the others in the quad. Unsusrprisingly, it is pouring rain. The first group has already sought shelter in one of the large gazebos a short distance away, where student gatherings or outdoor classes are held on the rare sunny days in the city. From this central location the main lecture hall looms over the trees to the right (the north), the barracks and administrative buildings of the troops and guards from Izmir and Warbane are visible in front of you (the west), the Great Tower of the Hec Salazar Memorial Library rises up into the bleak sky to your left (the south), and behind you the paths twist away into the low trees and topiary and towards the other buildings of Stormfare University. Even at this late hour, there are lights visible in some of the windows.
The air is quite chilly and the rain is hammering down hard, appearing to be mixed with hail. You are at least dry, for the moment, but anyone not protected by warm clothes or Endure Elements or similar is going to be pretty chilly.
It's probably just a trick of the dark and the rain, fooling your tired eyes.
|Min Bein'Meleth Rámalóce
Min stood in the stormfare street, clearly the cold rain didn't bother him in the slightest, as he took in the sights and thinking on the odd thing Cassandra ad said to him. After a minute or so he walked over to Justahl and Jorzan speaking quietly. "Does she say strange things like that often?"
He pauses though and looks out to towards the quad, the bond had shifted almost lurched suddenly, but when Lin appeared along with Kelne Min relaxed visibly and turned back to the pair of men waiting for an answer.
As Lin stood in the crumbling castle she flinched with each impact of the catpult's and sighed. There is nothing we can do here now, for now the Red Dragonflight have won. Its time to move foward and discover what I can about what the child had said... As she slipped her neck under the tapestry and draped it across her powerful shoulders as she waited for Kelne to complete his casting.
As the castle walls began to fade away, a stray catapult round slammed into the roof near where they had been standing. Thankfully they appeared in Stormfare just before the rubble began to fall, regrettably she was still thinking about what the child had said when she appeared. Hopefully Min hadn't noticed. As she took in the sights she commented lightly, enjoying the cold rain running along her scales. "So this is Stormfare! Hmmm... Always imagined it was bigger, maybe the rain is ruining the sight of it." She looked down at Kelne then. "So where do you want me to drop this off at?"
Just a note that, as the resident sorceror and native of Stormfare, it was Karthan who made the hop with Lin.
"Alright," Kelne said, finding a reasonably sheltered spot, "I'm going to scry out Ormir and we'll go from there. We don't have much time before he heals up and can move about, so we'll have to move quickly. That means we'll have to ask the Skyknights to take charge of the tapestries, prisoners and treasure. Best to keep them all in secure locations. We know at least one of the tapestries is a two-way portal with hostile creatures on the other side."
After a short time perusing the scroll, he beckoned Karthan over, "I think we're better off with you making the attempt," he said, "The spell's considerably more complex than anything I've tried my hand at before, and while I may be more familiar with Ormir than you, that doesn't help much if I can't cast the spell in the first place."
Perusing the rules for Use Magic Device, it's the emulate ability score bit which is the real hurdle to Kelne. He'd need a roll of 18+ to emulate the necessary Int or Cha score of 17, followed by the check itself, which has the possibility of mishaps on failure.
By my reckoning, if Karthan succeeds with the casting, it's a DC 23 will save for Ormir, with a -10 penalty to his roll for having a body part (the blood). Very nearly the same as it would be for Kelne, with much less time spent or chance of failure.
|Sir Justahl of NeoWald
Sir Justahl at first looks around at the comforting familiar environs of Sormfare, feeling the irony at having ventured so far to simply return to the starting point... Maybe they should cut north from here when they venture forth again. He looks down at the light on the waterfront. Venture forth by sea? Hm.
"Does she say strange things like that often?"
Distracted by the light, Sir Justahl replies; "Yes, all the time. And true, if incomplete. I say, does anyone else wonder what that bonfire is doing down by the wharf? That is a serious safety hazard to say the least."
|Maiathreen Gyssearnith
While waiting under the gazebo his arm around Livain, Maiathreen feels Servais shake and a black cloud of thought emanates from him. He waits a moment for Servais to speak but he stops shaking and the darkness fades. Though the feeling remains.
Maiathreen looks towards the ocean his gaze almost drawn to what he can only assume is a wharf district. He sees a very well lit area probably to light the way for cargo workers. A boat that is anchored off shore suddenly draws his attention away from the light. It appears to have great dark wings behind it. Were those wings? Surely not... He thinks unconvincingly to himself. He grips Livain's hand tightly as he suddenly remembers the conversation he had with Captain Harrix.
"There is one last thing; the cleric who fell says he had a vision which he believes is related to whatever...agenda...Servais has. He saw very plainly the shores of the ocean, in the west. He was on a dock. There was a boat with a man on it, the man was dressed all in black. He had no eyes." The captain gives you a concerned look. "That's all he remembers. Does this mean anything to you?"
Just what are you playing at Servais... He thinks to himself as he taps his fingers against the ornate hilt of the blade that had been with him and his wife for so many years and to find out that there was so much they didn't know. Its like a chasm in his mind he is almost afraid to approach.
"We should investigate...see what's wrong... He says while thinking it will give him a closer view of the boat.
Perception:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26To get a better look at the boat.
Min looks to the distant fire and then suddenly turns to look at Lin in shock, she returns the look with an embarrassed, head down, stance before glaring back at Min. Just as she starts glaring at him, he starts chuckling but the laugh is short lived, it was her turn to stare at him in surprising, tilting her head and raising a scaled brow in a questioning fashion.
"Yes, you?"
"Yes..." Min smiles as Lin grimaces at him. "Never ends does it?"
"Your not helping..." She glared at Min as he continued to smile. As Mai spoke about investigating she momentarily thought about hugging the Aellar as his words interrupted the conversation and brought Min's thoughts back in line. "Yes we should investigate." She held back a sigh of relief as Min's smile faded and he was focused on the distant fire. Sometimes her rider could be such a bother, didn't help her fortune was so ominous and comical to him.
Without another word Min climbed into the saddle and looked at the large tapestry doubtfully. "You think you can make it Lin?"
"We will see, if no it will be a spectacular crash." With that she flexed her wings, spreading them wide. She hoped that she had enough room to get a running start in the street. After gauging the distance she started a slow trot and built up into a faster run before finally leaping into the air.
|Aylaeth Brely'an
Hey just wanted to point out that it had been my plan, as i mentioned in the OOC, to have Jorzan go off looking for Grippen, taking one the scrolls of teleport with him.
But if it's too late to do that, or if it would be obviously suicidal to do so-like the entire castle is about to collapse, then we'll just skip it, no worries.
As they step through the tapestry Aylaeth takes a big breath and can't help the smile the creeps up her face, despite the pouring rain. She had always liked the University town very much. In fact, after her dear Leshotho, Stormfare was her second favourite city in the Land. Getting her bearing quickly she says "I know we have other matters to take care of as well, but I'd like to get to the university as quickly as possible. But perhaps we can kill two harpies with one stone for Karthan's mother might be able to aid us in the safe care of the tapestries as well." looking to Karthan for confirmation as she says this.
When Justahl mentions the fire on the dock she looks over with a curious frown, but says nothing.
Also, did Karthan have a chance to answer this? As the sorcerer finished telling them about the Power Orb, Aylaeth replied, with great interest and curiosity "Really?? How facinanting! But exactly does it do?"
|Livain Gyssearnith
While waiting under the gazebo his arm around Livain, Maiathreen feels Servais shake and a black cloud of thought emanates from him. He waits a moment for Servais to speak but he stops shaking and the darkness fades. Though the feeling remains.
Maiathreen looks towards the ocean his gaze almost drawn to what he can only assume is a wharf district. He sees a very well lit area probably to light the way for cargo workers. A boat that is anchored off shore suddenly draws his attention away from the light. It appears to have great dark wings behind it. Were those wings? Surely not... He thinks unconvincingly to himself. He grips Livain's hand tightly as he suddenly remembers the conversation he had with Captain Harrix.
Just what are you playing at Servais... He thinks to himself as he taps his fingers against the ornate hilt of the blade that had been with him and his wife for so many years and to find out that there was so much they didn't know. Its like a chasm in his mind he is almost afraid to approach.
"We should investigate...see what's wrong... He says while thinking it will give him a closer view of the boat.
Perception:1d20+13To get a better look at the boat.
Livain enjoys her one of few moments of romance she has with Maiathreen as he has his arm around her. Those are the few moments that keep her feeling like the world really isn't as horrible as she thought. Her thoughts were broken as she heard Servais quiver in his sheath. The familiar sound of the metal rattling gave her an uneasy feeling. Livain's eyes lingered on the sword for a bit before shifting back up to her husbands face. She could see that Maiathreen's mind was inundated by some thought. She couldn't help but watch his face as he looked off to the ocean. She gives him a moment and after studying his face some more she asks,"Is everything alright? You look a bit lost in thought. What is it with Servais?"
When Maiathreen proposed to "investigate" that was when she knew her husband was up to something but she didn't know what. She knew he was at the very least curious.
|Karthan Zhosk
Assuming I've got everything right...am I in Stormfare, or with Kelne setting up the scrying? It looks like I ran the teleport spell to the quad on Stormfare that we were going to use to go to Ormir's den; on the off chance I'm mistaken:
Karthan nods. And pulls out a scroll of eagle's splendor, casting it...then pulls out the last scroll of Divination, a small mirror, and a brazier.
Casting that scroll of Greater Divination, burning Ormir's blood and watching the tendrils of smoke get captured in the mirror to tell us where he is.
"Get your stakes ready.
|Belsarious II
|Min Bein'Meleth Rámalóce
@Karthan: Yep your in Stormfare, setting up the scrying with Kelne under the shelter of a nearby roof. :)
@Belarious: We're in Stormfare bud, so no more looting for us. I will have to remember to scavenge a little sooner next time~
|DM Downrightamazed
Baron Ormir DC23 Will save vs. Scrying: 1d20 + 13 - 10 ⇒ (19) + 13 - 10 = 22
The scrying spell reveals a room, cold and made of stone. Torches gutter in freezing gloom around a dais, and terrifyingly skinny thralls and minions and spawn lurch and rush about, watching all over, their jaundice-colored eyes glowing with hate at those who hurt their master and brought him so low. Looking around, other guards become visible, wearing furs and armor and possessed of long beards and hair, the mist of their breath indicating both their humanity and the frigid temperatures of that place at the same time. A medallion that holds their fur capes in place tickles Kelne's memory: Pechora Militia.
Ormir is in Pechora, then, in the vast cold expanses of the black woods of the north.
|DM Downrightamazed
As Kelne and Karthan gather and cast their spell, there is movement visible through the gloom over at the barracks. "Hoy there!" a voice calls out. "Who would you be, here in the quad at this hour? I am Sergeant Mar Lannstrom of the Paladine of Izmir, who goes there?" You can see the gleam of guttering torchlight off the sergeant's plate armor about 50 meters away.
Justahl smiles in recognition as the paladin speaks, as Karthan surely would as well, were he not otherwise engaged.
|Belsarious II
|DM Downrightamazed
Ok, since he didn't take off on his own, Jorzan would've for sure helped Min loot the bodies of the wolfguards. Plus don't forget we also have the unconscious wolfguard and Lenny with us
Jorzan looks over at flame on the dock but wasn't too concerned. Stormfare wasn't their problem at the moment and besides, she had many defenders. Ormir was their problem and they had little time to deal with him. Looking over the sorcerer's shoulders he asks aloud while also thinking himself "Do we know if any of the tapestries lead to there?"
"Pechora," Kelne said in a satisfied tone, utterly focused on the scene revealed in the scrying bowl, "We've got perhaps half an hour before Ormir's up and about. If we can get a scroll or something similar quickly, I say we teleport directly into the room, kill the guards and stake him, rather than trying to find our way from wherever the tapestry comes out, through whoever he has guarding the exit point."
"Once that's done, we can return to Stormfare and plan our next move." That might necessitate another teleport scroll, but right now money was absolutely no object. It was just a matter of whether they could roust somebody out of bed to provide them with one on short notice.
Not sure whether Pechora's outside the 900 mile limit of the remaining teleport scroll or not, but the failure chance for a location viewed once is non-trivial in any case.
|Maiathreen Gyssearnith
"I'm not sure...but there is a boat anchored off shore...there is something about it...I thinks its related to Servais...let's find out what fate has planned for us this time. Shall we my love?" Maiathreen says and then he leaps out into the rain and takes flight heading towards the wharf rushing headlong towards whatever fate and Servais have in store for him.
|Aylaeth Brely'an
"Maiathreen!" Aylaeth calls out loudly and sharply, looking with a frown between the airborne Aealler and their Captain. It was not her place to say, yet while true their Captain -who had been unusually quiet of late- did allow an unusual amount of leniency and freedom in his unit, still, this was a military unit, and thus its individual members were not free to simply come and go as they pleased.
Not sure what to do, she turns to the only other female in the group, her friend "Livain! I know not what has got into him to just take off like that, but I beg you get your husband to return immediately before he draws the wrath of Captain Lamorak!"
With at least that fire hopefully put out, she next moves to stand beside the paladine knight Justahl. For he clearly seems to know the approaching guard and the magus hopes to also speak with the Stormfarian and get things moving along as quickly as possible.
"Excellent plan Kelne" Jorzan nods as he looks at the Northern warrior. "We have one teleport scroll left, but if we're to get another quickly, I think Karthan here may be our best shot of getting it. Although..." as he looks around the quad, placing their exact position "I may know someone nearby who could provide one as well"
Knowledge(local): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17
|Sir Justahl of NeoWald
"Who would you be, here in the quad at this hour? I am Sergeant Mar Lannstrom of the Paladine of Izmir, who goes there?" You can see the gleam of guttering torchlight off the sergeant's plate armor about 50 meters away.
Justahl smiles in recognition as the paladin speaks,
Sir Justahl roars out; "Don't you recognize a Knight of Izmir when you see one Seargent!" He strides forward as he exchanges salutes with the surprised Seargent, then puts him in a bearhug.
|Karthan Zhosk
"Sergeant, I need to talk to my mother. Immediately. It's an emergency. We'll need to requisition two scrolls of teleportation. Do you know where she is?"
1d20 + 19 ⇒ (20) + 19 = 39 Intimidate to impress upon the Sergeant the urgency of the mission.
|Min Bein'Meleth Rámalóce
Min and Lin didot stop, if there Skynight insignia wasn't enough to prove who they were then his comrades could take care of the rest. Besides, dragons didn't turn on a copper piece. Especially when this heavily loaded. Min prepared for the tongue lashing he would receive for breaking ranks but if the fire was an abnormality, then he'd rather investigate then stand around.
Lin and Min held to a low altitude, flying over the main streets unarmed so they weren't perceived as a threat. Hopefully...
|Aylaeth Brely'an
Ah, I missed that Min & Lin took off too, but I'll just roll with how it is and say that Aylaeth also somehow (how do you miss a big silver dragon taking off??) missed it as well : P
"Make sure we get somebody to take a look at Kevin and somewhere to store the tapestries," Kelne reminded Karthan, since he was taking the lead in arrangements, "As soon as we get them under cover, I'm going back in to break out the prisoners. They've been in there long enough already, and might just have useful information." Since the Skyknights were off to investigate the harbour, it fell to them to organise things, and Kelne intended to do right by the gem-bound prisoners.
"And this one too" Jorzan adds, giving Lenny a light shove with his foot "If they're to have any chance of curing the boy, they're going to need to know whatever this one knows. Whatever we're doing though, let's make it fast."
He then turns to Kelne, his opinion and the Northerners once again moving in different directions. "Again Kelne, just because those in the gems were the enemies of Omir, does not mean they are good or that they will be any friends of ours. I agree with you that they could posses useful information, but our time is short enough, having to deal with potentially hostile prisoners may just take up all the time we have left. Like you say, they've likely been in there a while, so a little longer isn't going to hurt them any. But we miss our shot at Ormir, that may be the last one we ever get. And besides all of that, surely you don't mean to free the demon?"
|1 person marked this as a favorite.
Kelne gave Jorzan a studiously level look, "Of course I don't mean to free the demon," he said, "And I shall charitably assume that you're being facetious, rather than thinking me an idiot. I could easily delay their release, I suppose. Let them stay cooped up while we deal with Ormir. Let them stay there if we decide we have other urgent business. Or while we sort through the treasure. Or dither about how somebody Ormir locked up might be evil, dangerous or both." A distinct tone of anger had crept into his voice, "These are peoples' lives, Jorzan. Every minute they remain unjustly imprisoned is a minute too long. So yes, now that we're not under siege by an army, I'll take a minute to correct that injustice while Karthan is sorting out our travel arrangements. And if they're stupid enough to attack myself and a couple of burly friends, after we've freed them, then may whatever gods they worship have mercy on them, because I certainly won't."
Jorzan simply shakes his head, knowing well by now that the chances of convincing Kelne when he had that tone of voice and look in his eye were slim to none. Instead he just nmutters darkly "And may the Gods help us that we still have a shot at taking down Ormir once we're finished playing 'rescuing heroes'."
Knowing that Kelne was going back regardless of what he said to convince him otherwise, the shadowdancer resolved to head back in with him to help move things along as quickly as possible. They'd really need Justahl along as well, to make sure they weren't releasing more evil into the world. But would the paladine be willing to leave Cassandra behind? Should he? They hadn't even freed the others yet and already they were a problem to the rogue's way of thinking.

Moving ahead – letting go of the past . . .
The end of a school year fosters bittersweet emotions for many of us. This guest blogger offers strategies for moving effectively ahead.
Moving ahead – letting go of the past . . .
By Victoria Bork, School Psychologist, Valley High School
Jordan School District
Are you tired of spending a lot of time and energy trying to change the past? Here are some suggestions that may help you move forward:
- Make a conscious choice to move forward. Start by listing the pros and cons of dwelling in the past. You may notice after making your list that the cons far outweigh the pros and therefore you will make the choice to move on.
- Limit the time you allow yourself to dwell on the past. For example you may want to set aside 10-15 minutes a day to think about the past. You may find that you are getting bored/tired of dwelling on the past and move forward as a result.
- Check the reality of your situation. Things may never be exactly the same again but that doesn't mean you can't move forward with new people and experiences in your life.
- Clarify your values. Perhaps you have lost someone in a relationship or lost a job. In restating your values you may come to realize that you don't need the same individual and/or job to make you happy and you can move to your new chapter in life.
- Enjoy the moment. Create new experiences for yourself; e.g., join a club, take up a hobby, etc. Focusing on the present and the future will help you to move on!

AUSTIN -- An attorney for Gov. Rick Perry and the special prosecutor leading the criminal case against the governor met with the judge on Friday.
After Friday's court appeance, Perry lawyer David Botsford said he plans to file a motion in the next seven days to have the charges dropped. The legal team said it would challenge the constitutionality of the indictment.
Perry did not attend the hearing scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday. His legal team filed a waiver of arraignment prior to the hearing so the governor would be free to take a scheduled trip to New Hampshire.
The case against Governor Rick Perry had its first day in court Friday, but don't expect it to be over any time soon, said special prosecutor Micheal McCrum.
Before the meeting, Judge Bert Richardson addressed the media in the court. Richardson said they may set a date for the next hearing.
The hearing remained on the docket despite the fact that Perry pleaded not guilty and waived his arraignment scheduled for Friday in state district court. The grand jury indicted Perry on two felonies: abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public servant. It comes after Perry vetoed $7.2 million in state funds earmarked for the District Attorney's Office, when DA Rosemary Lehmberg refused to resign following a DWI conviction.
The governor was at a Heritage Foundation event in Washington D.C. on Thursday. Before talking about immigration, the governor talked about the charges against him.
"I am very confident in my case, and I can assure you that I will fight this attack of our system of government and with my fellow citizens, both Republicans and Democrats, I aim to defend our Constitution and stand up for rule of law in the state of Texas," Perry said.
Perry is in New Hampshire, the site of one of the first presidential primaries in the nation. Perry has not yet confirmed speculation that he is running for president.

Tucumcari police officers were accused of inappropriate behavior by five different individuals who spoke at Thursday's Tucumcari City Commission meeting held at city hall.
George Aragon, Jeff Cordova, Shari Anaya, Amber Martin and Anthony Hendron all complained about police to commissioners. Chief Dennis Townsend was not at the meeting and declined to discuss the allegations.
Aragon read from a prepared statement, which he said detailed his being verbally abused by Townsend on July 7 at Tucumcari City Hall in front of witnesses.
Aragon said he came to city hall to obtain a certificate testifying about an officer's training in using radar guns.
Aragon said he spoke with assistant city manager Marty Garcia who told him the information was a public record and he was entitled to receive a copy from police. But Aragon said police would not release the information. Aragon said he then went back to Garcia's office where he and Garcia called Townsend on a speaker phone. "Mr. Townsend was very irate and screaming over the speaker phone and then hung up," Aragon told commissioners.
Aragon said Townsend eventually showed up at city hall with the requested certification, left once again and then "returned screaming and acting very obnoxious again."
Cordova, Hendron and Martin all complained about police response to a "drinking in public" incident on Friday, July 2 at Tucumcari's city softball field. Cordova said while he was being cited and charged with drinking in public he said an officer told him she knew where he lived and knew his wife.
"What did she mean by that?" Cordova asked commissioners. "They (the police) are there to protect and serve, not to harass."
Hendron said despite not having any alcohol he was still cited for the illegal activity. "I had a Diet Coke in my hand. Just ask (Officer) Derek Shaw," said Hendron. "It would be a different story if we were leaving the place a mess, but we don't." Anaya spoke to an unrelated issue when her son was confronted by police. She said an officer told her son that he was familiar with Anaya because she had been arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. Anaya said the allegation was "totally untrue and very negligent and very unprofessional."
Later, Townsend referred questions to City Manager Richard Primrose saying that since he was not at the meeting Thursday, he could not comment . Primrose and Garcia on their parts declined comment because the issues were "personnel matters." "I will say we are looking into all aspects of the allegations that were made," Primrose said.
Commission members and the mayor said they saluted the citizens who came forward to make the concerns known.
"I know it took a great deal of courage to come up here and speak to us," said Commissioner Mary Mayfield, "but I for one want to thank you for doing it." Mayor Antonio Apodoca said commission members would meet with the police chief and the city manager "to get to the bottom of this."


text: I had to stop bf 3 days ago (see my "I'm radioactive" thread if you want the details), but I can start again tomorrow morning. DD got about 28 oz of formula a day during the break. When I start nursing again, how do I know how much to give her? I was pumping so I know there is still some milk there.

So, my party seems to need a cleric, and while I don't mind filling in gaps...I tend to hate playing clerics. I don't like roleplaying being religiously devoted to anything, I don't like classes that encourage you to tank it up in big heavy restricting armor, and I don't really like playing casters in general. Oh, and I like battlefield control spells when I do cast, which cleric is lacking in.
That said, I'm trying to see if I can salvage a cleric that is sufficiently different from the typical kind. Samsaran is the keystone to this, as it will let me choose 6 good and interesting spells to add to my list. If people could make suggestions, I would appreciate it, but this is my current list of spells that caught my eye.
Litany of Righteousness (Pal 2, Inq. 3)
Greater Invisibility (Inq. 4)
Invisibility (Inq. 2)
Telepathic Bond (Inq. 5)
Overwhelming Presence (Inq. 6)
Bloodhound (Inq. 2, Rng 2)
Entangle (Drd 1, Rng 1)
Stone Call (Drd 2, Rng 2)
Shifting Sand (Drd 3)
Ball Lightning (Drd 4)
Echolocation (Drd 4)
Obsidian Flow (Drd 4)
Sirocco (Drd 6)
Spells that I especially like are bolded; ball lightning is bold solely for the potential to combine w/ Dazing Spell.
I would also like domain suggestions. I do not really want to worship a god and the DM is cool with making one up to match my domain needs, so any 2 that don't conflict would work. Please just throw out suggestions w/o regard for what deity grants what. Thus far, the most appealing ones seem to be:
Travel w/ Exploration subdomain
Madness Domain - I love vision of madness, not so hot on the 8th level or spells
Liberation Domain
Animal w/ Feather subdomain - But not sure I want to have a pet
War w/ Tactics subdomain - Great abilities, but the spells stink and my last druid just had this
Healing w/ Restoration subdomain - May as well embrace the main reason we need a cleric
Part of the problem with picking domains is I really don't have much of a theme or concept yet. All I know for sure is I want a Samsaran with a guided weapon and maxed out wisdom. Probably go sword and board (guided property doesn't incentivize 2H much) and probably use a morningstar, due to no deity proficiency, unless I spend Exotic Prof. feat on something really nice. Also, planning to use mithral breastplate, though dex will not be nearly high enough to get optimal AC out of it.
Would start at 8th level, and I'm not sure how high it'd go, but for things like spell picks (as Samsaran) I don't think I have the patience to wait for anything above 6th level.
Thank you for your help.
Play a Druid or Oracle, you don't have to be tied to any diety, you can take a domain instead of an animal companion, and you've got spell options either way.
If your having trouble picking two domains you could always take the crusader archetype, pick one domain (healing if that's what you need) and then follow your sword and board plan, using the extra feats to augment your AC with shield specialization since you don't plan on having a high dex.
Personally I'd go with the healing domain even if you don't need a dedicated healer only because as a samsaran you will be taking that con hit, but that's just my opinion. If you can get a custom built god, may as well try for an exotic weapon, like the bastard sword or maybe katana, depending on setting to have a little edge in melee since again, you will be slightly behind on hit points.
Heh, the domains are so good I'm having trouble picking only 2, if anything. Definitely want to keep both. I would be open to picking up a variant channeling, but cha will likely be mediocre, so it probably wouldn't matter much.
Since our group knows well the value of CLW wands and thus many of our healing needs are to combat stat damage and status effects, the disease channeling variant seemed promising.
The thing with domains that will matter a lot is the synergy between the 2, I think. By that I mean...only a rare few domains have a good/great spell at *every* level. So ideally whatever 2 domains I pick would cover each others' weak levels. I suppose metamagic or just plain paying a higher slot for a lower level spell can ameliorate that, though.

I personally like Spontaneous spellcasters better than Prepared ones (I like the flexibility and don't like the planning needed for Cleric / Wizard). One of the big complaints that the build gets, however, is a limited number of spells. Au contrare, my friend! Let me show you the craziness you can accomplish with a Dual-Cursed Oracle of Time with the Blackened and Haunted curses!
Let's dissect this monstrous build!
Time Mystery
First, the Time Mystery has some great revelations (one of them mimics either Haste or Slow, which is a nice utility revelation), but Time's strongest point in my opinion its its spells, which are as follows:
memory lapse (2nd), gentle repose (4th), sands of time (6th), threefold aspect (8th), permanency (10th), contingency (12th), disintegrate (14th), temporal stasis (16th), time stop (18th)
So yup. You get disintegrate AND time stop, along with some other pretty cool spells (threefold aspect is especially flavorful and sands of time is a Str / Dex / Con penalty on a humanoid enemy with no saving throw or spell resistance).
Dual-Cursed Oracle
However, Dual-Cursed makes the deal even sweeter. For one, your 2nd, 4th, and 6th level spells with the following:
ill omen (2nd), oracle's burden (4th), and bestow curse (6th).
From the three you're giving up, only memory lapse isn't on the cleric spell list, so its not a huge loss to give up those three spells, especially for ill omen, which is an absolute nasty penalty to bestow on someone. Oracle's burden is also disgusting when combined with the curses I am going to suggest for you, and bestow curse is always nice. Where the archetype really shines, however, is the fact that it gives you two extra revelations, along with access to two of the most powerful revelations in the game if you choose to take them:
Misfortune (Ex): At 1st level, as an immediate action, you can force a creature within 30 feet to reroll any one d20 roll that it has just made before the results of the roll are revealed. The creature must take the result of the reroll, even if it's worse than the original roll. Once a creature has suffered from your misfortune, it cannot be the target of this revelation again for 1 day.
Fortune (Ex): At 5th level, as an immediate action, you can reroll any one d20 roll that you have just made before the results of the roll are revealed. You must take the result of the reroll, even if it's worse than the original roll. You can use this ability once per day at 5th level, and one additional time per day for every six oracle levels beyond 5th.
CursesNow, the curses are what really make this build. The first thing you need to know, however, is that one of the oracle curses will not improve with the oracle's level. This means that you have to pick which one of these two you want; personally, I will pick blackened every time.
Penalty: -4 Penalty on weapon attack rolls (reduced to -2 at 10th level)
Bonus: Add burning hands (1st), scorching ray and flaming sphere (5th), wall of fire (10th), delayed fireball (15th) to your list of spells known.
Penalty: Retrieving stored gear takes a standard action and dropped objects land 10 feet away in a random direction.
Bonus: Add mage hand (1st), levitate and mirror image (5th), telekinesis (10th), and reverse gravity (15th) to your list of spells known.
Some pointers; Haunted's penalty is not huge if you go strictly spellcaster; there are times when it might come into play, the biggest being when you try to retrieve stored wands and scrolls. Its additional spell isn't huge either, but it is an additional spell oracles normally do not get, which can make it nice. Blackened is the real champion here; its spell list is phenomenal (especially for doing something that an oracle is normally not good at; blasting) and while its penalty is bad, if you stick to being a straight spellcaster it is barely noticeable. But what's more importantly, with Oracle's Burden (the spell you got for being Dual-Cursed), you can take that -4 penalty and slap it on your enemies! If you have a friend who can disarm or are fighting someone who is using many scrolls, using Oracle's Burden (Haunted) can be very nasty as well.
The Total
Before we even move on to Mystic Past Life, this is what you're getting so far:
All of the cure/inflict wounds spells (you probably want to go good for this build; as you'll see, this build gives you SO many better damage spells than inflict wounds).
burning hands (1st)
mage hand (1st)
ill omen (2nd)
oracle's burden (4th)
scorching ray or levitate (5th)
flaming sphere or mirror image (5th)
sands of time (6th)
threefold aspect (8th)
permanency (10th)
wall of fire or telekinesis (10th)
contingency (12th)
disintegrate (14th)
delayed fireball or reverse gravity (15th)
temporal stasis (16th)
time stop (18th)
You suffer a -4 penalty on weapon attack rolls, need to take a standard action to retrieve a stored item, and items you drop land randomly within 10 feet of you. At 10th level the weapon penalty becomes -2.
You get two additional revelations, one at 7th level and one at 13th level. You add two additional revelations to the list of which revelations you can select from the Time Mystery (fortune and misfortune).
As you know, Mystic Past Life lets you select a number of bonus spells equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier. Samsaran do not have a Charisma bonus, so 16 is probably more feasible than an 18 for you, so you're looking at 4 to 5 additional spells. There are some incredibly powerful choices for blasting from the Druid spell list, Invisibility and Greater Invisibility from Inquisitors and Antipaladins if you want to go that route, and King's Castle form the paladin list allows you to swap places with an ally, making it an incredible get-out-of-jail-free card that you gain access to nearly half the game sooner than its intended class (its a 4th level spell).
Basically, with these options you can build a divine blaster with extremely strong debuffing utility who can also heal as well as any non-Healing domain Cleric (save you don't have Channel Energy). Taking Craft Wand and making wands of cure light wounds will solve all your problems.
If I haven't convinced you yet, maybe the Samsaran's favored class bonus for the Oracle will:
Oracle Add one spell known from the oracle spell list. This spell must be at least one level below the highest spell level the oracle can cast.
Sure, its not ALL the spells on the Cleric spell list. But that's a LOT of spells ....
Why is no one willing to help with what I actually asked for?
Well, the "I don't like roleplaying being religiously devoted to anything, I don't like classes that encourage you to tank it up in big heavy restricting armor, and I don't really like playing casters in general" thing made it sound like you were looking for an alternative.
Alternatives were then provided.

That's what I thought too when I read the quote. Honestly sounded like you needed a healer and you were thinking of cleric, but you hated everything about the cleric class.
Glory, with the heroism subdomain, seems like a decent choice. As does Protection with possibly the Defense subdomain. Maybe Law with the loyalty subdomain, though i know alignment domains are a little more useful when your dealing with a regularly aligned enemy. I know those aren't on your list but they had powers that seemed to be generally useful, I dunno what kind of enemies you usually run into.
We most often fight undead....no incorporeal ones yet. The major antagonists currently seem to be some sort of vampire cabal, although they have a fair amount of warforged (type of sentient construct) helpers.
Heroism domain: Not bad, I'll add it to the consideration list. Nothing really amazing, but nothing really bad, either.
Protection domain: None of the benefits are very stack-friendly with basic magic items we all have... The energy resists are decent, but paltry compared to what a communal resist energy could grant. Don't really like the spells, either.
Defense domain: The spell changes are nice, but the power is completely worthless.... +2 deflection bonus...
Loyalty Domain: It replaces the best part of the law domain with an extremely situational benefit. The spell replacements are upgrades, but still mediocre.
I had to go to d20pfsrd to find loyalty, which caused me to look at other law options. Tyranny seems pretty cool. Wish it got rid of more of the anti-chaos spells, and the 7th level replacement is horrid, but very nice overall domain. Kind of worried that getting healed would ruin the 8th level power's ability to actually do something, but prohibiting being healed is probably something that could be included in the demand. We do have the witch, perhaps if the enemy is put to sleep and then I hold off on a coup de grace (my reading says that the CDG would still force the save vs. death, but no damage would be dealt and thus save DC would be easy to make)....
Couple of things:
-Litany of Righteousness specifically says you need a "good" class aura, or your type has to be "good". How would you fulfill this?
-Are samsarans allowed to pick and choose from two different class lists? (eg Inquisitor + Druid).
1. Cleric gets an aura of good as a class feature. Unfortunately, strict RAW.... you seem to need to worship a good deity for it; it's not actually based on your own alignment. That is massively annoying and might require making up a god or asking for DM houserule.
I pity the paladin who detects evil on the true neutral cleric of a NE deity, picks up his aura of evil, and wastes a smite...
2. I don't know. Consensus on this board seems to be no, you can't choose from multiple class lists. My DM probably wouldn't care, and if he did, thus far it looks like I can nab the best stuff just sticking with Inquisitor anyway. Some of it just might be 1 spell level higher than it would otherwise.
I'll throw in the suggestion that if you're going to get healing domain, use the automatic empowered healing to your advantage and worship a neutral god and choose negative for the channels. that way your healing domain spells and automatic empowerment isn't wasted. Plus you get a little offensive versatility. Also, though it goes further down the road to heavy armor which you don't like, Holy Vindicator adds some nice defense with vindicator's shield and versatile channel.

Do you know how to breed the peridot dragon? Probably you dont because the dragonvale peridot dragon was just released moments ago on the dragonvale game play. The peridot dragon is the the latest gem dragon and it replaces the ruby dragon that was available for the month of July.
Apart from the peridot dragonvale dragon, there have been other dragonvale gemstone dragons such as the emerald dragonvale dragon and the pearl dragonvale dragon.
The peridot dragon is the gemstone dragon for the month of August. For September, we will have the sapphire dragonvale dragon. However, Even before we talk about the peridot dragonvale dragon breeding, here are some facts you will have to know about the peridot dragonvale dragon:
Even if the peridot dragon may be as ugly as stated by the dragonvale fans, the dragonvale peridot dragon gemstone earnings still remain the same and this is enough reason why you will want to get your peridot dragonvale dragon!
- Dragonvale Peridot dragon level recquirements
Do you know the level that you have to be in for you to breed the dragonvale peridot dragon? If you dont, then, you have to be in at least the eleventh level of dragonvale game play for you to breed this dragon. If you want to buy your peridot dragon instead of breeding it, you will have to buy it at 1475 dragonvale gems. However, the selling price for the peridot dragon is 1,500,000 dragonvale coins.
- Dragonvale peridot dragon earnings
A level one peridot dragon will give you one dragonvale gem in a month while a level ten dragonvale peridot dragon will give one dragonvale gem in a week. Also good to note is that the habitat for the dragonvale peridot dragon is gemstone habitat.
- Dragonvale Peridot Dragon Incubation period
If you want to breed the new peridot dragonvale dragon, you have the whole of this month to breed your dragon. Therefore, you should not panick when you dont get your peridot dragon on the first try. However, if you get a dragon with 31 hours incubation period, then, you have most likely landed yourself on the dragonvale peridot dragon. This is because the incubation period for the peridot dragon is 31hours.
- Breeding the dragonvale peridot dragon
Here are the best combinations so far for breeding the dragonvale peridot dragon:
- Dragonvale iron dragon combined with dragonvale fog dragon
- Dragonvale iron dragon combined with dragonvale evergreen dragon
- Dragonvale lava Dragon with Dragonvale malachite dragon
The best combination for the peridot dragonvale dragon is the dragonvale cactus dragon and the dragonvale crystal dragon. However all the other mentioned are also good at getting the peridot dragon.
Do you have any other combination for breeding the peridot dragon that we know not of? If you have a working combination for breeding the dragonvale peridot dragon that we know not of, feel free to post it here. Otherwise, we are still updating this blog post with more about the dragonvale peridot dragon and it will be good if you check later for more information regarding to dragonvale peridot breeding time, dragonvale peridot dragon eggs, dragonvale peridot incubation period and much more!

RUSH: Just a little juxtaposition. Yesterday we had story after story after story on the latest crime wave in this country, and that crime wave is corrupt Democrat officeholders -- mayors, state senators, you name it.
In fact, I want to show you something on the Dittocam. The NRA already out with an ad in California about San Francisco Democrat Leland Yee, and I want to hold this up to you. I'm gonna describe it 'cause those of you who don't have the Dittocam are not gonna be able to see it. It's a picture, billboard shaped, of a smiling, happy San Francisco Democrat Leland Yee. On the left side under his face it says "State Senator" in red, "2006: A+ Rated by the Brady Campaign, a national gun control group."
On the right side of his face as you look at this: "2014: Arrested by the FBI for Trafficking Firearms." Are you ready? There is the ad. Now, that is how you do it. The NRA is already out. Is that not a perfect-looking billboard? There you have San Francisco Democrat Leland Yee.
So, in addition to that, we had all these other mayors and so forth, and what did ABC's World News Tonight open with last night? Seven minutes with Chris Christie. Worse than Obamacare and lying. They opened with seven minutes. In a 22-minute newscast, a seven-minute interview with Governor Christie over this Bridgegate business and his own internal investigation which exonerated him. And that's the name of the game. That is how the Democrats at ABC News decided to circle the wagons yesterday.
So we'll have more detail on the pope and also this crime wave that is sweeping. By the way, I've run into a bunch of people, you know, I offered a theory yesterday because a lot of people were saying, "You know, there's not one Republican here that has been stung by the FBI. Every one of these major elected figures indicted for corruption, gun trafficking in this case, child pornography in another case, they're all Democrats."
And people were saying, "Man, Rush, this is like a rogue operation, and the FBI's part of the Regime and here they are turning on Democrats." I said, "Well, it's possible --" I didn't say it is, I said, "It's possible that what they're doing, they know these guys are in trouble, they know they're eventually gonna be discovered, so let's just get rid of 'em now in late March, rather than have this come out closer to the election."
And then you said, "We'll know for sure if that's what this is if any Republicans' indictments are announced, say, in September or October." I can't tell you the number of people who sent me notes last night that said, "I think you're wrong about this. I don't think there are any Republicans." It must have been eight people that told me that this is strictly Democrats, and this is the tip of the iceberg.
There's so much hope. I'm telling you, what this means to me is all these people want this to be a rogue FBI. They want this to be the FBI working undercover even behind the scenes of the Regime, trying to undermine the Regime and protect the country. There's so much hope in the fact that that's what this represents. And I hope they're right. I hope they're right. We'll find out. It isn't gonna take very long.
RUSH: Now, look up here on the media. Right now it's been going on for the past 20 minutes. Is it with San Francisco Democrat Leland Yee? No. Is it with any of the five disgraced Democrat members of Congress, state legislators and mayors? No. You can't even find any mention of them in the news today.
Grab sound bite 27, though. It's Leland Yee. I want to take you back. This guy has been indicted for gunrunning and munitions running, illegal campaign contributions. He had $2 million worth of M16s, $2.5 million worth of bullets, and other things. This guy has ridden on the magic carpet of being anti-Second Amendment every day of his life, to get elected and to hold stature. This is March 4th this year. It's a Google hangout with KTXL-TV Eyeball News in Sacramento.
This is San Francisco Democrat Leland Yee speaking about guns...
YEE: Whatever I can do to prevent, uh, the availability of these particular kinds of weapons, you know, I want to do that. There's just absolutely no reason why anyone would be carrying a military-style weapon, and so that's the reason why I would, uh, argue that there ought to be a ban on that particular type of weapon.
RUSH: While he is selling them, M16s. This guy's out there gunrunning $2 million worth of the things, and he says that. What phoniness and hypocrisy and so forth.
