Touch is one of our most basic human needs, yet for many men, meaningful platonic touch can disappear from their lives for years, sometimes even decades.  In this deeply moving conversation, Dr. Dan welcomes Aaron Johnson, public speaker, facilitator, filmmaker, touch activist, founder of the Chronically Untouched Project, and co-founder of Holistic Resistance and Grief to Action. Aaron's work explores the emotional and relational lives of Black men and the messages many have received about what masculinity is supposed to look like. Be strong. Hold your emotions in. Take care of yourself. Don't show vulnerability. Through intentional listening, platonic touch, consent, tenderness, and community, Aaron is creating spaces where men can experience a different way of connecting with themselves and with one another.  Aaron shares how this work began with his own grief after the death of his father and his nearly year-long journey to regain access to tears after approximately 20 years of not crying. Rather than forcing an emotional breakthrough, Aaron discovered that being deeply and consistently listened to created the safety necessary for his emotions to emerge. That experience became foundational to his work and to one of its central principles: “Listening is the first hug.” Aaron and Dr. Dan explore what happens when men are given permission to move beyond the roles they have been conditioned to play. Aaron describes the powerful question that became a cornerstone of the Chronically Untouched Project: When was the last time you experienced three minutes of thoughtful, platonic touch? For many of the men Aaron has worked with, answering that question means searching decades into their past. The conversation explores why something as simple as holding another man's hand can feel profoundly vulnerable, particularly for Black men who have absorbed cultural expectations around hypermasculinity, strength, sexuality, and survival. Aaron explains how creating safety through listening and explicit consent allows participants to slowly experience touch without coercion, pressure, or judgment. Aaron also takes listeners inside one of the most moving practices featured in his films Dark and Tender and Dark and Tender: Big Island: the “tuck-in.” Grown men are invited to ask directly for the kind of care they need… pillows, blankets, a hand held, someone sitting near them, or simply the presence of others and then allow themselves to receive it. It is a seemingly simple act with profound implications. Aaron describes these experiences as an interruption of the belief that grown men, and particularly Black men, cannot or should not be held tenderly. Dr. Dan and Aaron also discuss the broader potential of this work. Learning to listen, communicate boundaries, practice consent, and understand vulnerability within our own bodies may influence how we treat other people's bodies and relationships. The conversation expands beyond individual healing into questions of violence, community, family, parenting, and future generations. Aaron emphasizes that homes and families can become powerful places for change. By modeling positive touch, listening deeply, making room for tenderness, and helping children use their voices, parents and caregivers can begin changing the messages boys receive about what it means to be strong. Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to reconsider connection itself. Strength and tenderness do not have to be opposites. Vulnerability does not have to diminish masculinity. And sometimes healing begins not with having the perfect words, but with creating enough safety to listen, to feel, and to allow another human being to be present with us. 1. Listening can be a form of connection before physical touch ever happens.Aaron describes listening as “the first hug.” Deep, nonjudgmental listening creates trust and emotional safety, allowing people to take increasingly vulnerable interpersonal risks. 2. Emotional breakthroughs cannot always be forced.Aaron spent months trying to regain access to his tears after his father's death. He ultimately discovered that safety, patience, trust, and being heard—not pressure—allowed the grief he had carried for years to emerge. 3. Three minutes of platonic touch can reveal how disconnected many men have become.A few minutes seems insignificant until someone realizes they cannot remember the last time they experienced sustained, intentional, nonsexual touch. 4. Consent becomes especially powerful when people experience it through their own vulnerability.Aaron's workshops emphasize explicit yeses and noes, careful listening, and respect for boundaries before physical contact takes place. 5. Tenderness and strength can coexist.Aaron's work challenges cultural narratives that teach men—particularly Black men—that softness, vulnerability, emotional expression, or being cared for somehow diminishes their strength. 6. Receiving care can be as transformative as giving it.Exercises such as the tuck-in give adult men permission to identify what they need, ask for it clearly, and experience being cared for without having to perform, compete, or prove themselves. 7. Changing the culture begins at home.Aaron encourages parents, caregivers, and families to create homes where healthy touch, listening, tenderness, emotional expression, consent, and the human voice are modeled from childhood.

Dark web shop stocks 153 million driver's licenses Nexus, a new dark web service, claims it's selling scans of more than 153 million US and Canadian driver's licenses, plus over 10 million ID cards, three million travel and international IDs, and at least 579,000 medical cards. The images appear tied to Louisiana-based IDScan.net, which provides identity verification to retailers, rental-car companies, and others. KrebsOnSecurity matched some records to licenses scanned during Hertz rentals. IDScan says it's investigating and hasn't determined the breach's nature or scope. The FBI's New Orleans office has opened an inquiry.

Under new Enterprise Frontier Safeguards, customers can keep data in their own cloud and block Anthropic employees from reviewing it while automated abuse monitoring continues. Anthropic calls that privacy equivalent to zero data retention. Developed with more than 100 customers, including Salesforce, the system is due later this year. (CNBC) Astra enters OpenAI's cyber red zone OpenAI says Astra is its first model to reach a "Critical" cybersecurity threshold, meaning it can find unknown flaws and build exploits across well-defended systems without step-by-step human help. It's due soon, but the advanced cyber capabilities will start with a small test group before expanding through Daybreak Blue. OpenAI says Astra refused 91.5% of cyber jailbreak requests, versus 59% for GPT-5.6 Sol, and monitoring can pause suspicious activity. The Information reports Astra's latent reasoning may hide parts of its process, raising doubts about chain-of-thought monitoring.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a moment many first responders eventually reach — the moment the tools that have been holding everything together quietly stop working, and nothing is waiting to replace them. Dark humor stops landing. Exercise stops clearing the head. Staying busy stops keeping the thoughts away. The drink at the end of the shift stops providing relief. And the first responder is left standing in the gap between what used to work and what has not been found yet — often without the language, the support, or the permission to admit that the gap exists at all.

Dr Emily Friedman is a scholar whose work centers on storytelling. For the past few years, one of those focuses has been on TTRPGs and the vibrant communities that have developed over the decades. Her work looks at both the long and understudied early history of the medium and its modern popularity boom, and looks ahead to the future. It also highlights the community's traditions and structures, and how they're changing.Today's conversation is one of the most interesting we've had recently, giving us a chance to dive into the industry's meta and the community that bolsters it. The conversation dives into a wide range of lenses and analyses of how TTRPGs and their players have changed over time. She shares great stories and analysis from her years of work, and it was a blast asking questions and hearing her perspective on the community. Check out Emily's Website, YouTube, and Instagram. And pre-order her book!Show Notes for The Episode!Dungeons and DragonsWhite Wolf Steve Jackson Games VampyreIn Nomine I Hit It with My AxeChaosiumGamechangersManners TTRPGAll About Love by Bell Hooks************************************⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support the show for as little as $1 a month: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Add this to the end of your link on DriveThruRPG to support the show: ?affiliate_id=1044145Example: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/397612/Court-of-Blades--Scandal-Forged-in-the-Dark?affiliate_id=1044145⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out our live-streaming content on ⁠⁠Twitch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Don't miss our RPG Actual Plays, tutorials, and gaming content on ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen to an excellent board game ⁠⁠podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Go to the Writer's Room for ⁠⁠7th Sea Adventures!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out the great games from ⁠⁠A Couple of Drakes:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen to Tales of the Manticore⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on ⁠⁠Facebook,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on BlueSky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comNancy and Sarah welcome Ethan “crackerjack mouth” Strauss back to Smoke ‘Em for round three, this time inspired by his recent piece about a fake 49ers player who scammed scores of women out of more than a million dollars. Dark? Yes. Also hilarious, in terms of perpetrator Daejon Love's come ons, e.g., telling women his family owned part of the Gucci store “on Saks Fifth Avenue.” They also talk Ethan's recent “get that nose to the grindstone, kids” piece about making money in sports media, how to help your aging parents not get scammed, and whether anyone on the panel cares what people think of them. (Spoiler: 1.5 yes/1.5 no.)Also discussed:* Katie Herzog retools her addition to help others* “Unnecessary cleavage” * Ethan as Chuck Klosterman of the week* Daejon Love is nowhere near as hot as Napoleon* “I was a white girl on Tinder”* “Necessity is the motherf**ker of invention.”* Some love for The Gift of Fear* The iPhone as elder abuse* Cary Grant, anyone? Anyone?Plus, football as an old-fashioned striptease, baseball as a good sport to do your taxes to, why Gen Alpha likes golf best, and much more!Oh hello, Sarah's upcoming book is AN OPRAH PICK! Buy it now xxMemoirist Hepola returns after her acclaimed recovery memoir, Blackout, with a wickedly lovable account of three lost loves: a married man, a younger man, and a New Orleans cop she once believed was the man of her dreams. The title arrives when she phones the married guy for advice about dealing with his 29-year-old successor. “I'm scared I only want what I can't have,” she tells the ex. “Oh baby,” he replies, “It's the only thing there is to want.” This line feels to Hepola like a skeleton key to her existence, unlocking the surprising amount of pleasure (not to mention the very good stories) one can find on the path of an apparently hopeless quest. Hepola's self-deprecating candor and perfectly paced storytelling make this book anything but the boohoo-fest you might imagine. Possibly the perfect gift for a friend going through a breakup.About that unnecessary cleavage…

What if your body isn't broken, and the symptoms you've been fighting are actually trying to tell you something?Physician, author, and educator Dr. Karyn Shanks joins Giving Pain Purpose for a powerful conversation about chronic illness, trauma, the nervous system, and what it means to stop seeing ourselves as problems that need to be fixed.Together, Dr. Shanks and Lyndsay explore how our experiences can shape the way our bodies respond to the world, why creating a sense of safety matters, and how curiosity and self-compassion can change the way we approach healing. They unpack the frustration of living with symptoms that don't always come with clear answers and the emotional toll of feeling disconnected from—or even betrayed by—your own body.Dr. Shanks shares her holistic perspective on healing, bringing together science, psychology, and lived experience to challenge the belief that illness means something within us has failed.At the heart of this conversation is a powerful shift in perspective: instead of constantly asking, “What's wrong with me?” what happens when we begin asking, “What is my body trying to tell me?”For anyone living with chronic illness, navigating trauma, or searching for answers after feeling dismissed or defeated, this episode is a reminder that you are more than your symptoms, and healing may begin when you stop fighting your body and start listening to it.Episode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Dr. Karyn Shanks and the show's focus(01:53) The disconnect in modern medicine and the root of trauma(04:12) Dr. Shanks' personal health journey and realization(06:53) Understanding the body's organization and response to trauma(10:59) The importance of listening to the body's messages(15:00) Pain and suffering as portals for healing(18:04) The role of safety and connection in recovery(21:55) Holistic, systemic approach to chronic illness(24:00) The significance of storytelling and safety in healing(27:49) Western medicine's limitations and the need for integration(29:58) Closing thoughts and resourcesFind Dr. Karyn Shanks Online Here:Website: karynshanksmd.comInstagram: @karynshanksmdFacebook: Karyn Shanks MDLinkedIn: Karen Shanks, MDBook: UnBroken: Reclaim Your WholenessFind Giving Pain Purpose Online Here:Website: givingpainpurpose.comInstagram: @givingpainpurposeFacebook: The Giving Pain Purpose PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: @givingpainpurposeShop: thegivingpainpurposeshop.comSubscribe on YouTube | Merch Shop is OPEN!! | COMING SOON: The Pain Hub - A Women's Healing Community.

This week, Da7e and Neil are time-hopping through the origins of John Stewart and his complicated path toward Green Lantern candidacy.In The Calm [04:58], they assess the show's levels of wokeness. And with the help of numerous emails from listeners, they continue to theorize about the Lanterns rings and the "imperfect system" of choosing candidates.Then in The Storm [52:20], they attempt to predict how the rest of the season will be paced and whether there is a classic Damon Lindelof show narrative pivot right around the corner.Next week, Lanterns returns with a fourth episode that gets back to the conversation with Hal and Sinestro and maybe, just maybe, brings in some big action beats.To interact with the show, send your comments and questions to stormofspoilers@gmail.com, and follow us on Twitter/X and Bluesky @Da7eandNeil.You can also support Da7e and Neil and get all kinds of bonus content (from the Game of Thrones era to the LOST rewatch to our Twin Peaks rewatch project to our current Adventure Pod and Dark watch project) by subscribing to our Patreon here: patreon.com/Da7eandNeil

Weirdos! For August's BONUS EPISODE we are focusing on an entity that has MANY faces and wears MANY hats: The bogeyman! For as long as people have been telling stories, these supernatural beings have been lurking in the woods, or in the dark alleys, or under the bed. They might look different depending on the culture they come from, or be called by another name, but their function in society is consistent: to invoke fear! References Briggs, Katharine. 1978.

A cinematic classic meets a striking new musical vision in this special screening of “Frankenstein”, at Stissing Center in Pine Plains, NY starring Boris Karloff, featuring the world premiere of a chamber ensemble score by composer Michael Shapiro. Performed live by the Argus String Quartet with pianist Steven Beck—praised as “vivacious” by The New Yorker—this reimagined score brings new emotional depth to the film's iconic imagery. Shapiro's full orchestral version has already been performed by more than 80 orchestras worldwide. The evening begins with a Q&A with Boris Karloff's daughter, Sara Karloff. At the heart of the score is the mirrored relationship between Henry Frankenstein and his creation. “The monster is the doppelganger of Henry Frankenstein,” Shapiro notes, a connection reflected musically in unexpected ways. Dark, driving themes underscore the doctor's ambition, while the monster is accompanied by music that is at times gentle, haunting, and deeply sympathetic. Karloff's portrayal—imbued with a sense of soul—feels newly illuminated through this lens. Shapiro's score ebbs and flows alongside the film, heightening both its terror and its humanity—from the charged electricity of creation to the quiet, tragic innocence of the monster's brief encounters with the world.

With a single step, a world shattered and the stars faltered. Those who witnessed the destruction must face the future and pick up the pieces, but first they must escape the Dragon Path and return home—or at least near it. To do that, though, they'll need to capture Jonathan's airship, the Adventure Beckons, from the Creed of Oracles… This week on Perpetua: Escape the Rumbling Castle! 07 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.06] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] Creed of Oracles Infantry [NMCOIN] Typical Traits: Gritty, Grim Type: Humanoid Hunter Level: 10 Rank: Soldier Stats: DEX 10, INS 8, MIG 10, WLP 6 Attacks: Holy Salvo, Forceful Flurry Special Abilities: Summon Platemail Elemental Affinities: RES: Physical | VUL: Dark, Poison In-Game Description: With blessed light armor, rifle, and bayonet, Infantry make up the bulk of the Oracle's ranks. The rank-and-file soldier in the Creed of Oracles. If you decide to rush across the open courtyard when you first arrive to area of the castle, you can fight an infinite number of these guys. They aren't especially hardy, but their Holy Salvo is built specifically to knock out sturdy physical characters, so don't underestimate them! Starter Tip: If you can do it, try to dispel their summoned platemail, it'll make fighting them toe to toe a lot easier. Hovering Pyroclastic Typical Traits: Precise, Devoted, Short-fused Type: Humanoid Support Level: 10 Rank: Soldier Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 6, WLP 10 Attacks: Ignition, Volcanic Charge Special Abilities: Flying, Bracing Ash Elemental Affinities: RES: AIr, Earth [Can gain Fire] | VUL: Dark, Ice, [Starts with Fire] In-Game Description: A soldier in the robes and armor of the Creed of Oracles with flamethrower and a number of volcanic explosives at their belt. These floating demolitionists punch through your elemental defenses and their volcanic charges are like sticky grenades that give a boost to anything that hits your side of the field. Most importantly: They can cover themselves in a magical ash that will boost their might and give them a Fire resistance. Once they do this, they sort of become solid all-arounders, so it's best to knock them out before they can do that. Starter Tip: Hit them with Dark or Ice damage to bring them down to melee range! Fares, Devout Chef Traits: Tricky, Inventive, Religious, Adaptable Type: Humanoid Saboteur Level: 10 Rank: Soldier Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 8, WLP 8 Attacks: Poison Vial Special Abilities: Bottled Vigour, Enervating Powder Elemental Affinities: RES: Earth, Fire, Light| VUL: Air, Dark, Ice In-Game Description: A chef of the Creed of Oracles. Master of the Kitchen and Pantry. This guy SUCKS! I don't even mean in combat, he's fine to fight. But as a character, I hate how he can draw you into conflict. There's basically only one way through his conversation tree that doesn't draw you either into combat with him immediately (with reinforcements coming soon after) or up into the Barracks where his friends are. Personally, I prefer to just knock him out ASAP and then sneak up to the hidden passage a few rooms away. Starter Tip: If he manages to poison you, don't forget to use your IP for an Antitote. Poisoned doesn't do damage over times like in some games, instead it saps BOTH your Might and Willpower, so whether it hits a bruiser or a mage, you're in trouble!  Ushala, Conduit Traits: Mysterious, Possessed, Sacrificial Type: Demon Mage Level: 10 Rank: Soldier Stats: DEX 10, INS 8, MIG 10, WLP 6 Attacks: Heaven's Light, Heaven's Glory, Heaven's Call Special Abilities: Flying, Pressure Gauge Elemental Affinities: IMM: Light | RES: Physical, Poison | VUL: Dark | Pressure Points: Dagger, Sword In-Game Description: A member of the Creed who temporary gives their body up to be possessed by the spirit of the holy Oracles.  So, as far as I know, there's two versions of Ushala you can fight. The above is the "standard" one, which is what happens when the Gem Scene goes the way it almost always does. But I've heard that if you manage to get the gem away from the Draconic Elf safely, then Ushala can become possessed (by who? My theory is Lucena) and then she gets a second, much harder phase. Which is saying something, because even this version of her is NO JOKE. Starter Tip: If you can, hit her with Shaken and Poisoned (the status condition, NOT the damage type). All three of her attacks are based on WLP, so it helps to knock that down as far as possible. Sarithe, Shieldmaiden [NMSRSH] Traits: Courageous, Devout, Charismatic, Armored  Type: Humanoid Sentinel Level: 10 Rank: Champion (4) Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 10, WLP 8 Attacks: Face Me!, Intercepting Javelin Special Abilities: Elemental Shield, Head up, Soldier!, Not this time!, Get behind me!, Strong Will, Honest Heart!, Pressure Gauge Elemental Affinities: IMM: | RES: Light, (Can gain Air, Earth, Fire, Ice) | VUL: Bolt, Dark, Poison |  Pressure Points: Flail, Firearm, Spear, Heavy Weapon In-Game Description: A knight in elementally-charged armor, wielding a tower shield and a javelin that hums with power. Despite being fully kitted out in heavy armor, Sarithe's abilities seem designed to make her a strong support character. She keeps her crew safe not only by taking hits for them, but also by healing them, stopping Opportunities (critical hits), and granting them multiple elemental resistances. Starter Tip: Because she has a pressure gauge (from the Armidirge games), she doesn't take extra damage from the elements she's weak against. Instead, if you can hit her six times with something she's vulnerable to (including her pressure point weapon types), she'll get staggered and she loses all of her actions for the rest of the round. Be sure to take advantage of this!!
