Well, we should plant explosives on the systems and wait for an opportune moment to detonate them. Blowing them up prematurely will attract their attention and be regarded as hostility.

The Traveller was able to psionically melt cutting tools that the examiners tried to use to dissect it: it appears that even in a dormant state, it can attack with Matter Agitation. Because of this, it may be unwise to recklessly get too close to it with explosives, because it may use the same ability to neutralize the harpoon.
How do we get past that?

Perhaps there might be a way to incapacitate The Traveller so it can be safely destroyed.
The real issue is that we don't actually know what The Traveller is, the limitations of its abilities, or the nature of it's power.
However, if it has stats, you can kill it.

For Archery, feats are probably a bigger concern than class. Like two-weapon-fighting, it's a very feat-intensive build.

If Kira is a Strength-reliant Archer, Ranged Pin may be a worthwhile feat to consider would be Ranged Pin. It lets you grapple at a range, which means that Kira's natural grappling capabilities, including her strength, size, and racial bonuses, would apply to the opposed check.
Woodland Archer is also good, because it would have let Kira avoid that sniping fiasco in that last encounter.

What is Kira's racial template anyway? Size? Scent? Natural Armor? Improved Grab? Venom? Str/Dex bonus? Knowing your stats can help me find recommendations.

That makes the fight harder for the rest of you. The amount of damage taken will be very random and might cost all the healing supplies you'll get anyway. That's assuming we win.
>I don't trust that the commies wouldn't side with the GRU over us if forced to choose. In fact, for that reason, I would prefer to avoid talking with the GRU at all.
The idea is that the communists in the party might help in pacifying the GRU. If they fail, and the GRU attack, they would be much more likely to join our side than if we attacked the GRU ourselves.

I was going over the logistics of my plans to contract demons and create monsters that could conjure a giant obsidian tower (Crystal Palace style) above Curwhinny's dungeon after I bought it, when I stumbled upon a huge flaw in my plan: Zoning Regulations.
I'm probably going to have to make some checks to figure out what Posey can legally build near it's okay to set up a totally-legitimate-and-not-evil magic research facility.
Hmmmm, Perhaps Glass Horizons could help me with that. He likely has some ranks in Profession (Real estate), Knowledge (Law) and Knowledge (Local). I might be able to pay him for Sage advice on setting up guild operations there. Of course, I have to convince him to sell it to me first.
If I can successfully get the property from him, that could give Posey clout with the university, having effectively monopolized the site away from the communist rivals; Posey could use that clout to get University approval and licensing to make her stronghold appear legal in the eyes of the regime.

I'm trying to figure out how to maximize Posey's Influence Score at the appropriate level so I can start playing EaW with the military leadership, but it might take sufficient feat investment, and isn't going to work for several levels in the future.. Probably going to need Undead Leadership Rulership, and Favored in Guild (to get Guildmaster as a bonus).
Sadly, that would not leave Posey with very many feat slots for metamagic or improved necromancy... I guess sacrifices need to be made for the Black Crusade. Nobody said taking over the world would be easy.

How does GM feel about the Rulership/Influence system in Powers Of Faerum? I was hoping to use it and insert my followers into various institutions to gain political control of New Mareland, before amassing enough power to retake Equestria from the Changelings. Defeating The Traveller could count as a significant military victory to increase my Influence score with The Blackhooves (and if not, it's still a good mark on my resume as a freelance Warmagus), and seizing control of Curwhinny's farm could count as a significant victory within my current guild (the College Of Arcane Sciences). I would like to take the Rulership feat at a later level and insert my followers into powerful institutions, to slowly maximize my influence score over the course of the game until I can eventually rule my own settlement on the battlefield frontier.
It was a thing I thought I mentioned when I entered the game, but now I'm not so sure if it's worth the resource investment. I was hoping to emulate EaW and play a mass scale war/politics game, but it wouldn't really work unless GM is interested in running such a game. I know Leadership was welcomed, I just don't know about other leadership based system..
It's going to be many levels off until I can start my leadership-based plans, but I figured I should ask now, to lay the groundwork.

On second thought... Does this feat even do anything? Influence gives you what, +1 to Int/Cha checks related to your Rulership for every 200 points of bonus? I think I'll put that off until higher level (if it ever comes). Posey isn't ready to be a ruler (yet).

After we scare away the GRU, out next step is to torch the systems and head to the Kostroma, right?

I'm a little bit nervous about how the fight with the Traveller might go, but I think this party has done well neutralizing enemies and preserving resources so far. I still have plenty of spell slots, so I should be able to counter the Traveller's summons with my own.
Amoebic Crawlers have piss damage, but they're large size and have a lot of HP, so they can help put distance between us and the enemy.

This is canon though. I am roleplaying Gloomy Sundae, who is a canon character. I have not roleplayed him very much because I was preoccupied with Posey's quests, but I still want to characterize him. I can only really do that with the occasional meanwhile post, or by describing a flashback. I want him to be likeable if he becomes a cohort, or mourned it he dies, so I have to at least describe him.

I know you won't do it, but just so there's no confusion and that I can say that it's been said explicitly: the deaths of the colts will cause Silver to reach villain arc levels of anger that will likely result in the deaths of every single living and undead creature he can find. So...best that Gloomy keeps that talisman safe.

And also just so there's no confusion thinking that I'm saying you can't roleplay as Gloomy having fun with the colts, I am very happy to see Gloomy interact with the colts. Just as long as everyone's kept safe and alive, everything's good.

Oh, yeah, don't worry. I wouldn't actually just kill off your character's friends. I was just roleplaying to add some mystique to demonstrate Posey's obsessive and protective tendencies towards her own colt. That's the reason I didn't bring the potentially-useful disguised aquatic ghast on this mission

Also, while the Talisman was something I found for Gloomy's equipment, I have neglected to write down the source material (DR #3??), caster level, or maximum range of the item it's based on, so it's up to GM if it actually works or not. Perhaps he might prefer to surprise Posey with her precious little lamb having been kidnapped when she was absent at some point.

Well, Posey could instead order it to kill anyone who invades the household instead in the event of an emergency, if she cared to maintain a relationship with Silver (which she does).
It is currently disguised as a living (albeit wet) stallion dressed in unmarked military attire, with a rapier at its side.
>One cannot just march a ghoul into the Duke's Court. But as the fumes issuing from the cocoon surround the creature, the form of the ghoul is replaced with that of a stately courtier armed with a rapier. Of course, it will have to keep its mouth shut.

This is untrue. Nothing about domination shields the creature from additional mind-effecting attacks, such as fear or morale effects. Otherwise players would just dominate their allies in combat to make the Fighters and Rogues immune to debilitating effects.

I theorize that The Traveller functions as a form of possession, functionally replacing the target's mind with the mind of The Traveller. It may also be conferring its own immunities to its thralls, such as with a Ghostly Visage (Posey's preferred familiar choice at lvl 7).
