#Rods From God

[grayrazor]

It’s a bit of a lapse how they send Kamille to Glasgow to keep him out of the way of a Colony Drop targeting Dublin. An object that size being thrown at the Earth should be closer to a Dinosaur-Killer Asteroid, make a nuclear bomb look like a firecracker. Nowhere in the British Isles would be safe, probably nowhere in Western Europe.

Maybe I'm a bit thrown off because later Gundam media like 08th MS Team and Gundam: The Origin had more hard sci-fi sensibilities, showed the Operation British colony drop killing billions of people with tsunamis and climate change beyond just the initial impact fireball. A massive crater where Sydney, Australia used to be and snow falling in the jungles of Southeast Asia

Nevertheless, it’s kinda weird how normal Earth looks in Gundam Unicorn and Hathaway, how there’s still an overpopulation problem. After the various massive impacts between MSG and Char’s Counterattack, Earth should be a wasteland, in the middle of the biggest mass extinction since The Great Dying. Maybe that plays a bigger role in Gundam F91, Gundam Crossbone, and Victory Gundam. I haven't gotten around to those yet.

As time moves ever forward (unless the Lich), so too does my little project where I voice all of @vexwerewolf's Lancer Memes in the style of Loading Ready Run's character of Dave's Spokesman. Today we return to Harrison Armory for a mech that one of my Lancer GM's once noted as "being able to hold a combat scene hostage." This means it's time for the Barbarossa:

I hope you enjoy, because I am not asking this time. The Apocalypse rail is already at stage two.

Magic Item: The Throne of Dawn

Unique Greater Artifact (requires attunement)

CL 20, Overwhelming Conjuration and Divination

The Throne of Dawn is a gleaming golden throne, with an odd mechanism at the top of the back, about head height. It seems to be simply an ornate chair, but, in truth, is a weapon of unimaginable power.

When the throne is occupied, usually but not necessarily by a construct, the throne allows the occupant to sit so high in the sky that it orbits the world as the sun and moon do. From this position, the occupant may move around with a thought and bombard the surface with gigantic 20' long, 1' diameter metal rods which strike the ground with enough power to shatter mountains.

Generally, the throne is sat in by a construct that is under the control of the owner of the throne. A construct need not eat, breath or sleep, and will only get bored if they are given enough of a mind to do so. A living creature can occupy the throne, and it will magically preserve them without food or air, but it cannot do anything about the boredom. Either way, the odd mechanism on the chairback inserts into the head of the creature seated upon it. This deals no damage, but is painful and incredibly disconcerting to most living creatures.

5e

In 5e, the Throne allows the occupant to Teleport, Scry, and create 20' long rods of adamantine (as the spell) Creation) at will, and the throne acts as a ring of sustenance.

3.x

In 3.x, the Throne allows the occupant to use the spells Greater Teleport, Greater Scrying and Major Creation at will, and the throne acts as a ring of sustenance.

PF2

In PF2, the Throne allows the occupant to use the spells Teleport (heightened to 7th level), Scrying and Creation at will, and automatically receives the benefits of the spell Sustenance each week.

The caster level of all effects is 20. Orbit of a world is assumed to be 160-320 miles above its surface*. If a world does not have orbits, the throne is simply able to hover in place at a similar height.

The throne's Scrying effect should be used to scry on the owner or an ally of the throne occupant, and allows this target to call down a strike, as the occupant is able to see and hear the target (who voluntarily fails their save). The scrying can be used on other targets, such as the target of a strike, but in this case it follows the usual rules for scrying on an enemy.

The rods created by he Throne** strike nearly instantly once created, but due to the need for a strike to be called, the occupant to move into position, and then create the rods, once called, the rods will strike their target within 1d4+2 rounds.

The actual effect of a rod striking varies by distance from a targeted square, and are as follows:

40' radius from the target square: replicates a fireball (caster level 20) except the radius is 40' and it deals 20d6 fire damage, and 10d6 fire damage out to a radius of 370'.

41-370' radius: 10d6 fire damage to all creatures and objects.

Within a 160' radius: creatures and objects take 20d12 bludgeoning damage (which overcomes hardness of 20 or less).

161-340' radius: creatures and objects take 10d12 bludgeoning damage (which overcomes hardness 10 or less)

341-860' radius: creatures take 5d12 damage, in a rough mix of bludgeoning, piercing and slashing.

The Throne of Dawn is an artifact of immense power, among the greatest magical items ever made, even if it's actual component spells are relatively minor.***

*This is based on the spell Nailed to the Sky in 3e's Epic Level Handbook

**based on the hypothetical Tungsten rods, which travel at speeds of 8,000 miles per second due to gravity and a low air resistance. The effects, or more specifically radii, are based on the NUKEMAP, using the 11.5 ton yield of the hypothetical tungsten rods.

***Strictly, if you want to know what this is worth in 3.x, it would be 765,000 gp per the item creation rules in the DMG, and constructing one requires a golden throne worth 1,500 gp. This is just above the wealth by level of a 20th level character, but a party would be able to buy one easily, so you probably shouldn't put it in a shop.

Your post about misogynistic/patriarchal women really resonated with me and I empathize SO much girl I would be rich if I had a dollar for every single time i’ve seen a woman say some variant or another of “women are WAY worse than men!!!!” and wholeheartedly mean it. It ESPECIALLY makes me feel like the Joker when I see women who by all means carry themselves as feminist/progressive say shit like “misogynistic women are way worse than misogynistic men!!!” or some other misogynistic gaslighty bullshit that came straight from the ancient misogyny playbook.

I wish there was more of us having the space and drive to criticize our own sex class’ actions in a fair and just way without carrying the guilt of how our sex class is treated & without also following the subconscious path of least resistance (woman bad, man good). I wish there were more outlets for us to just be so fucking for real with each other, but in the way of respect, maturity, empathy, dignity, and accountability. I wish we all had more self awareness about the patterns we perpetuate.

It sucks when you not only have to cope with 50% of the population automatically hating you because of the morally neutral biological sex you happened to develop as in the womb, but you also have to deal with the members of your OWN sex perpetuating the cycles of subjugation and working against their own interests on top of that because of how deeply the knife of misogyny is plunged into our stomachs. As an individual girl/woman in the world, you have to incessantly deal with and mentally prepare for the indiscriminate bombardment of misogyny that is almost guaranteed to sneak up on you from every single direction possible. Feeling like you have close to no true allies, or only very few of them on a global scale. It’s a brutal, harrowing feeling.

It definitely gave me more insight into how the human mind copes with pain and injustice in bizarre and miserable ways, I guess. Newlyy I am ripping off the skin of my face thinking about this, it truly is suffocating. The patterns, the cycles, the history repeating itself!!!! I see you and I get it

exactly. you're completely right. no notes.

there is nothing more delightful than hearing forsy talk about fishing absolutely nothing more delightful than that so behold. forsy talking about fishing.

"More than just hockey, you're also a big fisherman. Why fishing?" "I don't know, it's something that I did growing up with my grandpa, my dad and my two brothers. It's a good way to relax and get your mind off hockey—Everything really in life. You're focusing on fishing and that's it." "So, when are you buying your boat here in South Florida?" "Well...we'll see. It's mostly a summer thing but I wouldn't mind a boat. I'm pretty simple like that! It's hockey, fishing and family-life. Yeah, that is pretty much it for me." "You're a simple man!" "Yep!" "It's good! It's probably why you're a good player 'cuz you got your focuses. You're locked in!" "Yeah, yeah."

WSFL Inside South Florida | 4.11.24 (x)

"When you disconnect—When you step away from the rink, what are some of the things you like to do over the course of the summer?" "I'm a big fishing guy, so that's pretty much all I do when I'm working out back home." "Where do you go to fish? Where are the big spots in Sweden?" "Can't tell you the best spots. Just around—We actually—Me and my fiancée just bought a house back home. We haven't seen it yet so it's gonna be fun to see the house by the lake...I'm gonna fish that way." "It is furnished? Or are you walking into an empty house?" "No, it's gonna be empty!" "Oh, that's a summer project!" "Yeah, so we got a lot of things to do." "What do you go for? What's the most exciting thing you've pulled in?" "I enjoy pike fishing. I love big pikes. That's probably my favourite." "Is that part of the off-season workout? I mean, the upperbody gets a good workout fishing." "Oh, yeah. I think it's a lot of mental, too! Like, a mental game. So, you know, you gotta stay patient. It's a lot of fun."

Territory Talk | 6.15.22 (x)

"First question, I gotta ask you. What's something recently—off the ice, outside of hockey—that's brought you joy?" "Ooh! When I'm home during summer usually I fish a lot. So, that's something I really enjoy. I've been doing a lot this summer...Yeah, fishing, I would say." "Fishing. That's something you do with friends, with family, by yourself?" "Yeah. Actually both. I fish with my brothers and my dad, and a lot of buddies." "That sounds great! That sounds like a nice way to unwind!" "It is!" "—And the total opposite sort-of mentality of hockey which is so 'go-go-go-go!' physical in-your-face." "Yeah, it's still very competitive. Fishing it's—but it's fun!" "When you're dealing with a professional athlete I can't imagine theres anything that's not at least a little competitive." "Exactly!"

Miami Mic'd Up | 10.12.23 (x)

"We're seeing you're a big outdoorsman... ya like fishing?" "Yeah. I love—I'm a big fisherman." "Yeah? Do you have any—Have you been on a big fishing trip? Or you've just been fishing in Sweden? Down there in Florida? Where you at and what do you like to fish?" "In Florida it's mostly deep sea fishing. I'm more a lake guy. I mean, I'm starting to get into it more here in Florida. Ekblad is fishing a lot, so, he took me out a couple times. It's pretty cool to get a big Tuna and stuff like that...but I'm more of a lake guy, I would say." "Does Ekky make you pull in the big fish? 'Cuz he already said how big and strong you are, 'throwing a 250'... He's like—he gives it over to you or what?" "Yeah, but he's got the whole electric stuff so he's—" "Oh, he's cheating! With the big rod riggers!" "Yeah! He rigs—" "He got into that a few years ago when I was down there with him. He's still into it, he's still on that deep sea stuff. I can never do it, it made me sick." "Yeah. Yeah, he is."

NHL Network | 3.14.24 (x)

man who absolutely wanted to be asked to reel in a big one by his partner but absolutely did not get the privilege because ekkys gone electric mourn for him hes want to be a big strongman and useful but now he cant because of technology.

but also the lakeguy vs seaguy fishing fued we got here is utterly delightful im not surprised if ekky took him out fishing just to try and convince him that its better can you imagine the amount of squabbles theyve got in over fishing. but also ekky took him out fishing. several times. like that happened. okay im gonna normal about that 👍

also not them damsel in distressing ekky like ohhhhh does he make you do the heavy stuff he talks soooooo much about how big and strong you are does he put you to work *bats eyelashes*

forsy, who really desperately wants to be put to work: no no he doesnt 😔😔

and here are just the multitude of photos of forsy fishing (redfin perches and northern pikes) over the years and posting it to ig and the captions are all filled with the weight and length of the fish like oh hes a real fishin boi give me those numbers (x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)
