#cayden cailean

Okay, I love that Arazni (who is very negative towards almost all gods) feels comfortable in the company of Calistria and Cayden

I can just picture the three of them sitting at Calistria's, with wine and fruits

And then

- Mistress, as you requested, we cast a ghost touch rune on each of these wasps.

Calistria, now with a nest of wasps in her hands: Guess what we're doing now?

Arazni:

Kaiden: *finishes wine and puts his hand on Arazni's shoulder* we're going to your ex, babe

Arazni:

Arazni:....fuck Geb

New Year, New Deity, Day 4: Cleric of Cayden Cailean

It's here, the one you've all been waiting for: The Cleric of Cayden Cailean, the Accidental God! Raise a glass in toast for this fun and helpful cleric!

This Cleric build focuses on a being helpful and daring, and that's why I used the swashbuckler dedication! What better way to help the cleric accomplish feats of derring-do? They act as a flanker and skirmisher, while being able to provide powerful aid to their allies thanks One for All. Their spell list focuses of course on Heroism, as well as a suite of counteract spells to deal with whatever ales you!

So, if your champion of Cayden Cailean gets really seriously injured, can you put them IN a booze keg, like Luke in the bacta tank? I think that should work.

A favorite from my last commission of 2022. A pirate bard with an affinity for mead and mischief. What more could you ask for?

Old wip that I quickly polished up (and once again forgot caedrinn's aeon quintessence) of Cae ^.^ He was having a bit of an existential crisis about being an aeon after wintersun and one of seelah's companion quests.

I really want Owlcat to make a Skulls and Shackles game. It's right up their alley. The discourse over what you can do when raiding would be legendary.

Well, you're pretty darn close! (Divine Mysteries SPOILERS! under the cut)

According to the new Divine Mysteries book, SHELYN gifted Arazni a divine realm, one of her rose gardens in Elysium. Shelyn, knowing something of the kind of transformation Arazni's been through after seeing what happened to her own brother (Zon-Kuthon), knew she'd need her own personal space, both literally and figuratively, to continue healing (and more importantly to stay the FUCK out of her business unless she comes and asks, something other righteous gods and their heralds don't seem to quite get yet). Arazni's found tending the roses (more for their thorns than the actual flowers) therapeutic, and has made the garden into a secure and defensible home. Also, she lets foxes (her favorite animal) roam the place, which has culled the population of songbirds Shelyn had there, which Arazni appreciates because she prefers the quiet.

That said, Calistria ABSOLUTELY draws Arazni out once in a while (and since her realm's in Elysium too, technically they're neighbors), with their shared values of revenge and self-determination (and a spa day!), and sometimes Cayden Cailean hangs out with them too. His boisterous temperament may annoy her, BUT she knows he's got her back and is always ready to beat up tyrants and abusers with her!

Silly Arazni headcanon

Since Arazni is yet to get her own divine realm, I like to imagine her crashing on Calistria’s couch

And Calistria be like, “Guuuuurl, we ARE going to plan terrible vengeance on your enemies, but we should get it WHILE getting our nails done (by the way, you need it). With cucumbers on eyes. Now, what kind of wine do you want to drink as you watch them burn?”

3, 7, 11 for KAM!

3: Who is/are their best friend(s) among companions and why?

Seelah and Arueshalae <3 Seelah's been there from the start and they have pretty similar priorities, despite their differences on the Lawful/Chaotic axis-- you look out for people, and then you go to the tavern and have a good time. and Arueshalae gets the sense of belonging to Elysium, so they just fall into being friends really quickly.

(romancing Arueshalae was considered but no, Kam would NEVER be happy with Arueshalae's happy ending. they wouldn't work.)

7: Is your KC religious? If yes, which deity do they follow? If not, what is their view on religion?

so, in my "completely new to Pathfinder lore" decisions, I made Kam... Calistrian. which becomes fascinating after going through all the Azata and Desna connections...

so Kam went to Calistria to learn how to be selfish. to embrace spite. and it never fully lets that go-- yellow capes, half-jokes about the Calistrian prostitution rites, and the Red Mask plotline... and it gets balanced with a healthy dash of Desnan semi-worship.

11: For martial KCs, favorite weapon? For spellcasters, favorite spell?

the Marching Terror glaive is the weapon I always associate w/ Kam, BUT once we got to the dragon-riding he swapped to spears. I don't remember off the top of my head WHICH spear was the main one but <3 mounted Charge.

favorite spell is not from the skald spellbook but Azata-- Heroes Never Surrender <3

Having had a bit too much of the Dragon's Blood Wine at the Draconic Harvest Festival, Midori breaks into song:

🎶🎶🎶 Here's to Cayden Cailean, Cayden Cailean, Cayden Cailean Here's to Cayden Cailean, he's with us tonight He's happy, he's jolly, he's blessed us, by golly! Here's to Cayden Cailean, he's with us tonight! 🎶🎶🎶

Gwen: "Hello, druid Mauseth! We've come to seek your wisdom and aid!"

GM: there's no response.

Gwen: "We've got beer!"

GM: There's no response.

Gwen, with total confidence: "She's not here."

Anithil, my Hero of Kvatch turned Pathfinder PC, showing off some of her shadow magic. :3

She’ll be a rogue 10 / umbral scion [shadow-blooded sorcerer] 10 / arcane trickster 10, who specializes in illusion and shadow magic, general sneak thievery, and sniping.

The shackle tattoos around her wrists are a nod to the wrist irons canon Ani wore throughout her game, but now they’re mirroring Cayden Cailean’s broken shackles [note also the little tankard charm she carved from bone and hung on her rapier]. The bit of black on her neck is part of a tattoo of Black Butterfly’s symbol—her main deity.

Lines and a bit more rambling under the cut!

The other tattoo she has is a set of Calistrian daggers on her left shoulder, which usually remains hidden. I’ve put her in the shadow jumper’s tunic because it is both very fitting and very pretty—she’s a roof runner from Korvosa and very light on her feet.

All the little trinkets on her belts she carved from bone and stained dark. She uses as little metal as possible—only her dagger, rapier, buckler, some of her arrowheads, and the chain of her haramaki are metal, as well as a little reinforcement on her buckles and the ring on her chest. The grips of the dagger and rapier are also stained bone.

Polaroid pictures with pathfinder characters, if wotr and km were films and they were actors, that our gang from Pathfinder Ask made! 1) me and @boggubozakatochnihmashinok (Ramien) "I wanted a prop like that too!" (Varn) "This is a blessing of Cayden Cailean!" 2) @ronavorona16 (Lann) "You thought I was always so handsome? But that's a makeup!" 3) @laurelinlote (Tristian and, behind him, Kalikke) 4) Ilrand (Commander and Excess) "Am I real? Is he real? Haha, in fact we are both real." 5) RadSilv (Commander) "This is me auditioning for the role of the сount Arendae. But playing the lead role was also good!" 6) @doctorpasta and @kutkhart (Commander and Irabeth) "Will Deskari become a butterfly after a kiss?" 7) kutkhart and @alittlecrazy23 (Regill and Nenio) "We need coffee. At any cost." 8) kutkhart and Lina (Stitch, Areelu and Regill) "Discussing villainous monologues." Thanks to Kutkh for organizing this!

What would you say is the craziest piece of lore in pathfinder?

take your pick of just a sampling of the lore i've already talked about

The commonly cited insane Golarion lore of "gnomes die of boredom," "there's a wizard that lives on the sun," "cayden cailean ascended as part of a drunken dare," and "there's a giant hole in the world that demons constantly pour through" seems almost tame when compared to nuggets like "Yhidothrus might be a tongue or finger of a distant godlike being," or "Yderius and Yig might be the same species," or "Fantasy Pluto is an egg that's also pregnant."
