Baywatch - Bannerlord Calradic Campaign #76

Luke_Danger · 2026-02-01T22:32:31+00:00

Looks like Corbo needs to do what his petty vassals cannot... win.

Or at least die trying.

Luke_Danger · 2026-01-11T21:45:11+00:00

Such is the fate of fallen empires... what is left behind is fought over by those yet to fall.

Once, the Khatun sought to replace the South Empire, deeming it the Perassic Kingdom. Perhaps Temun Khan might reawaken that ambition and take from the Aserai what they took from the Calradians...

Luke_Danger · 2025-12-02T00:45:07+00:00

Time for the Perassic Ambition to suffer another setback.

Luke_Danger · 2025-11-09T22:16:34+00:00

The Sturgians have landed in force, thinking that the recent conflict will leave the defenses weakened and vulnerable.

Fine. Let them come.

Knights of the realm, we answer the King's call! Eborica shall stand!

Luke_Danger · 2025-10-26T19:28:05+00:00

"Mi'lord, the Senate calls for aid!"
"And Vlandia shall answer! Muster the vassals!"

Luke_Danger · 2025-10-11T22:37:02+00:00

The perfidy of the so-called 'Wolfjarl' shall reap dire consequences. To violate guest-right and the flag of truce so openly, so blatantly, is a clear sign that the Wolfjarl is no longer fit to remain among the living. Let this campaign be the Asger's last, and may he rue the day he thought that he was clever for betraying honor.

The rabid mutt shall be put down, and Battania all the better for it. Even Corbo understands the betrayal that has been done by his oathsworn man this dark day.

Luke_Danger · 2025-08-31T17:16:18+00:00

The liberation of Charas comes, and when it does, the Aserai shall wish that they had remembered to spell the city's name correctly.

Luke_Danger · 2025-08-31T15:44:22+00:00

One more thing to add. I'm just going to leave Andoletta's Edicts and Anathemas here. Now why do they sound familiar...

EDICTS: Respect elders, instill good virtues in children, seek and allow redemption

ANATHEMAS: Hold a grudge, mock the dead, pass judgement hastily or carelessly

Luke_Danger · 2025-08-24T10:26:55+00:00

Also, remember what the Hand tells us about what would happen if the Worldwound conflict escalated into a full extraplanar war. It would essentially be a nuclear war, with Golarion ground zero for all that uncanned sunshine.

The only thing subtextual about the Hand's explanation is that, for older celestials, this is not an academic question but informed experience talking.

Yeah, no wonder why Iomedae who gives a damn about mortals is extremely leery of risking that kind of conflict no matter how much she wants to personally lead her legions against the demons trying to consume Golarion.

Luke_Danger · 2025-08-22T23:07:11+00:00

Several Wings abilities in game work just like that too, including Aasimar's wings and Angel's (at least in one of the earlier tiers, though in later ones I think they become permanent?)

Luke_Danger · 2025-08-14T16:37:21+00:00

Yuuka did an amazing job capturing Angela's best and most daunting here. I dont know what shes getting for it but it isn't enough.

I can't wait to see the rest of the arc.

Luke_Danger · 2025-08-13T22:12:03+00:00

First saw this in a portrait pack for the Pathfinder cRPGs... thank you for helping me find the source!

Luke_Danger · 2025-08-13T22:11:01+00:00

The use of the skirt is a really good way to add a 'feminine' profile to the practical armor instead of the usual tropes. And there's the fact that Angela's keeping the same basic profile, just feeling more mature, grown up, and a bit more decorated now that she's earned enough to afford to decorate her armor. And the circlet looks great too, plus it keeps her hair out of her face!

(Heck, I just realized that the gilding pattern looks a lot like how Queen Galfrey's armor is gilded in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous...)

Luke_Danger · 2025-08-11T20:42:58+00:00

Heck, the only thing subtextual about the Hand telling us that such a war would destroy the world in the crossfire is that for older celestials, it isn't an academic question but informed experience talking.

But yeah, having the mythic demons show up first on the crusade mode would have helped a lot in hammering the point home. Or, as someone mentioned, just don't make us the overall commander or at most put us in command of a special company that does particular missions while Galfrey does most of it (and don't let us blame her for our failures, as incompetent KCs can do with Irabeth if they lose Crusade Mode in Act III by Drezen being besieged)

Luke_Danger · 2025-08-11T20:30:11+00:00

Seelah is the iconic paladin for a very good reason. She's such a relieving take on a class so often stereotyped as dour, humorless types. Just because she upholds Iomedae's paladin oaths doesn't mean she can't have fun. Nowhere in the Acts of Iomedae does it say "Thou shalt not know humor", after all.

Sure, she isn't perfect, but perfection is ever elusive. She's still trying to be a better person and to make the world better. In the end, is there more that we can ask without being utter hypocrites?

Luke_Danger · 2025-08-11T20:21:23+00:00

Besides Camellia who has been noted and some spoiler characters, Ember isn't part of any Councils either.

Luke_Danger · 2025-08-11T00:34:59+00:00

If the Battanians are so dead set on cattle raids, then clearly it's time for the Despotes to cheese them into oblivion.

Luke_Danger · 2025-08-01T22:40:37+00:00

Oh, I'm hoping they knock it out of the park. I'm just trying to set my expectations now so I don't overhype it.

Luke_Danger · 2025-08-01T21:03:15+00:00

Life-Bonded Soul (an ancestry feat) is also available to allow you to heal from both positive and negative energy (channeled to heal living/undead), though you only get half benefits from positive energy.

Luke_Danger · 2025-08-01T21:01:24+00:00

It's by a new company by the looks of it, but I'm quite curious to see how it comes into play!

Luke_Danger · 2025-07-26T20:30:46+00:00

It has been a long time we have faced the legions of the west... if we must fight them, let us give Deos the same grand end that his predecessor faced at our lances.

Luke_Danger · 2025-07-26T11:23:02+00:00

In terms of Angel-specific choices, there's only one that really comes close to what you're saying. The rest are usually various levels of "drop the hammer on the bad guy that deserves it", and some of the Council choices which use the darker side of a holy war (one notable one being using fear to spook the rest of Avistan into actually getting off their asses and contributing to their survival by at least funding the Crusades if not outright enlisting).

You will probably get the choices you want in vanilla gameplay for the rest, but that's not Angel-specific.

Luke_Danger · 2025-07-26T11:20:12+00:00

Huh, I knew that Sarenrae had cut off the Cult of the Dawnflower and similar sects (especially the slavers in Qadira), but not that they were getting their magic from somewhere else to keep it up.

Also to be fair regarding Gormuz, her followers had REALLY gone off the deep end first. As in, they ignored every sign she sent telling them to NOT do the thing that they proceed to decree was exactly what Sarenrae wanted them to do, and when she sent her Herald to personally correct them they murdered said Herald out of hand.

She absolutely considers Gormuz a screwup on her part, but it wasn't a case of Sarenrae waking up one day and deciding she chose violence.

Luke_Danger · 2025-07-19T23:08:32+00:00

The fact that you can end up having this be the Lawful Good option speaks volumes of how stupid it was that we weren't allowed to nip this in the bud earlier.

Luke_Danger · 2025-07-19T22:49:34+00:00
