POPULARITY
By a quirk of fate (and the meddling of a peculiar being named Gnova), two bands of adventurers came crashing into each other in the middle of the Dragon Path. After greeting each other and gaining an invitation to the mysterious Castle Eschatonica, they crossed the debris of echoed worlds, dodged the hungry eyes of a dragon-owl, and made their way into the castle. Now they face challenges like they've never yet seen… This week on Perpetua: The Castle Eschatonica 02 Perpetua Guide [Temporarily On Hold - v.0599] Some Feedback [Page 56 of 56] TheUnforgivenIII So I guess Nei is never coming back huh. What a loser. Doesn't he know people were counting on him? If you don't have the cajones to stick with a FAQ you shouldn't bother starting one, it'll only disappoint people. TheDiamondRanger My dad got me the official strategy guide and I could write some hints from that in here if you wanted but I wouldnt wanna give away any big spoilers so maybe I wont Alukard83 Hey man, that's not cool. Back off. TheDiamondRanger Okay Im sorry I didnt knwo that I wsnt alllwoed to post from the guide i thought i was helping im sorry CarlsSr Wow, three dumbasses in a row. Alukard83 Not you Diamond, I meant Unforgiven, who is being a real jackhole. Nei is really going through it, plus had to step away because of holidays. If the FAQ doesn't get finished, then we'll just have to wait for someone new to step up. Doom_Tree_Anne I wouldn't mind helping for a little bit, if you want! I've always wanted to try my hand at writing an FAQ. n.n I'll message you on the IRC!

Vale, no es primavera aún, pero este ensayo bien vale empezar a buscar esas canciones que condensan la sensación de los días que se templan y las noches que se acortan. Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever despiertan de su hibernación de 4 años con 'Sunburned in London' con la que empiezan a calentar nuestro corazoncito musical. Poseedores de las guitarras más brillantes, siguen siendo capaces de capturar la calidez, la alegría y la relajación de una tarde de primavera.Además, la escritora Laura Chivite se asoma a nuestro cuestionario cultural en FAQ! Y citamos en un "Punto de encuentro" a Jaume Claret director de 'Extraño Río', y las directoras Sofia Esteve e Isa Luengo por el cortometraje 'Perpetua felicidad'.

Tunesië: ooit het hart van de vroege kerk, vandaag een plek waar christenen vaak in kleine huiskerken samenkomen.In deze aflevering duiken we in de geschiedenis van Carthago en het getuigenis van Perpetua (203 na Christus). Daarnaast ontmoeten we ‘Nadia' en ‘Abdel', twee jonge christenen die vanuit de islam tot geloof kwamen. Thuis blijven ze niet altijd veilig: boeken worden verbrand, familie zet druk, en soms volgt verstoting. Wat kunnen wij leren van hun volharding? En hoe ondersteunt SDOK de kerk in Tunesië?
The year is 397 BE—Before the End. And in the wide and colorful abyss known as the Dragon Path, fate spins two disparate threads together… This week on Perpetua: Castle Eschatonica 01 IRC Log started Dec 21 20:37 Channel: #perpetuaSpoilers 20:37 : It's not a big deal Nei, just wish I had thought to message you about it on the forums! 20:37 : It IS a big deal. I feel like I really F***d everything up with everyone relying on me and the faq. Plus, the same thing happened to me when I tried to do the Imago walkthrough at launch without knowing there was a Chiaroscuro ending. A lot of people who were playing along with the guide got to the end and felt like they'd missed out on the true ending because they were following my advice. 20:38 : Well they should've played without a guide then. 20:38 : No one says they had to use a guide, though. 20:38 : Jinx! 20:38 : sry, i dont really get it, u think ppl on some form are gonna be mad because u didnt know about the castle? 20:38 : The forum can get pretty intense, Hoagie. I feel like people are always trying to argue over there. 20:39 : Not you though, right? n.n;;;;; 20:39 : No! I just don't like it when people get things wrong. 20:39 : Yeah, and guess who just got a BIG thing wrong. Idk guys, I think I gotta take a break until the holidays are over. I'll make a post on the forums I guess. Sorry.

In this episode, we explore the life of Tertullian, a brilliant lawyer from ancient Carthage who became a fierce defender of Christianity. We learn how his intense faith and advocacy were shaped by the martyrdom of Perpetua and Felicity, leading him to coin foundational theological terms while also showcasing his uncompromising and controversial nature.Chapters00:00 Carthage and Tertullian's Early Life01:18 From Pagan to Christian Apologist03:42 The Martyrdom of Perpetua and Felicity08:20 The Blood of Martyrs and Theological Innovations11:32 Tertullian's Fierce Defenses and Controversies15:07 Strictness and Lasting Legacy
Above Spillaway Peaks, the crew of the Little Snail has found signs of a horrible corruption, tainting not only the town's oxen and their food, but perhaps of something even more fundamental. With only one clue to go one—the presumed whereabouts of a mysterious food seller—they travel further up the mountains in search of answers. What they find will draw them deeper into adventure than they ever could've imagined. Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.058] Some Feedback [Page 32 of 32] XxZelgadyskXx You KILLED the little paladin egg guy? Doom_Tree_Anne Well the thing is, the only character I had left standing was Nicky, and he'd already declared a bond of hatred against the Sentishell, and it seemed like the only winning outcome I really had left. So I didn't have a choice n.n;;;; Alukard83 That's crazy! I would just load my save if that happened to me. TheUnforgivenIII Brutal… But that's the way the world is. Sometimes its life or death. Him or you. You know? And when that happens you gotta fight with your whole heart. If you hold back at all your gonna die. Killing is what it takes to be a hero. TheDiamondRanger No way. A real hero never kills anyone, like Batman or Spider-Man. TheUnforgivenIII The real world isn't like those cartoons. It's blood in blood out, little man. Plus, Batman doesn't even have a sword. If he did, he'd probably kill a LOT of people. FriendofNei Hey, someone just sent in a tip and said that something special happens if you finish the Sentishell fight with a complete Eastern Continent Act 1 save already? Anyone do this? Did you have to do anything special? XxZelgadyskXx OMG you didn't get that????? Come onto IRC, I'll message you!

Homily from the 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time, given at St. Perpetua.
What do you do when the pressure to conform feels overwhelming? In this message from our Against the Flow series, we look at Daniel 1 and the quiet determination that helped Daniel and his friends remain faithful in a culture trying to reshape their identity. Through the stories of Daniel and early Christian martyr Perpetua, we're reminded that what we often call peer pressure is really fear pressure — and that obedience to God puts His faithfulness on display, even when deliverance doesn't come right away. When culture presses in, God is still forming, sustaining, and guiding His people. Join us as we ask: when pressure rises, will we drift with the current or stand firm in faith?
Te invito al próximo taller para resignificar tus heridas y ser el ser sexuado que deseas ser. https://pinksecretonline.com/producto/24-febrero-kintsugi/¿Cuántos abusos más hacen falta para que dejemos de llamar “casos aislados” a lo que es una violencia sostenida por el silencio?En este episodio de Sexualidad Sin Misterios hablamos de violencia sexual, indiferencia social y responsabilidad colectiva, tomando como referencia el caso del urólogo que ejerció abusos durante más de 25 años, amparado por el prestigio, el miedo y la falta de acción. Un caso que duele, pero que también revela una verdad incómoda: el abuso no persiste solo por quien lo ejerce, sino por todo lo que se calla alrededor.Este episodio invita a mirar de frente el papel del patriarcado, la normalización del abuso y la urgencia de una educación sexual clara, ética y humana como camino de prevención y reparación. Hablamos de pasar del silencio a la conciencia, de la culpa a la dignidad, y de cómo transformar el dolor en fuerza sin exigirle a nadie que sane a la fuerza. Porque nombrar lo que pasa también es una forma de cuidar los cuerpos, el deseo y la vida.Aprende mas de sexualidad sin misterios, te invitamos a ver nuestra escuela online con diferentes cursos en temas de sexualidad que encuentras listos para ser vistos, desde cualquier lugar del mundo www.pinksecretonline.comInstagram: pinksecretcol y anasgiraldo TikTok: sexologa.anasgiraldo Citas con Ana: https://www.pinksecretonline.com/reservarNo olvides activar la campana para que me sigas, compartir y dejarme tus comentarios ♥
This episode includes discussion of animal injury and illness, including descriptions of wounds and death. A mystery (and the need for a little spending money) has sent the crew of the Little Snail up into the hills of Spillaway Peaks. In between attending to their escortee, the locally famous photographer Waylon, Veile, Nicky, Jonathan, and Elena encounter the edges of a strange curse. What has happened to the Oxen of the Peaks? Can it be reversed? And what might it mean for the Perpetuan Cycle… This week on Perpetua: A PIcture of the Hills 04 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.058] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] Waylon, Local Photographer [NMWY] Traits: Stubborn, Experienced, Prickly, Soft-Hearted Stats: ??? Attacks: ??? Special Abilities: ??? In-Game Description: Spillaway Peaks local photographer has been serving the community for hundreds of years. His hard shell covers a soft interior. To be honest, I haven't actually seen Waylon's "soft-heart" yet, but maybe that'll come in time. Starter Tip: If you fail to convince him to make a detour while you grind or do other side quests, do NOT let him wander away! He will immediately start taking damage once you're on a different screen. Brown Flegg [NMBF] Typical Traits: Mischievous, Stubborn, Direct, Family Oriented Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 8, WLP 8 Attacks: Flegg Strike, Infuriate, Flegg Gale Special Abilities: Stoneshell In-Game Description: A living egg. It comes up to your shins. Hey, why are these ones brown!? A leveled up version of the classic Flegg. They're level 10, so expect a higher HP pool. Their Flegg Gale also gives them a little extra "oomph." Be careful if you have a status that weakens you to Air damage! Starter Tip: Their resistances and vulnerabilities are different than the base Flegg. These ones are strong against both earth and fire damage, but are weak to poison! Sentishell [NMSS] Traits: Justice-Seeking, Protective, Noble Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 8, WLP 8 Attacks: Hilt Bash, Holy Slash Special Abilities: Holy Aegis, Stoneshell, Threaten In-Game Description: Extra-large, light-green Flegg with brown splotches. Wears shining platemail armor and helm, visor raises so that you can see his brave expression. Wields a long sword and Kite shield commensurate to his size. A Paladin-type Flegg!? Yup, your eyes aren't deceiving you. This little guy has pretty standard stats, but lots of defensive moves to help keep him and his crew safe from incoming damage. I wonder if we could recruit him to OUR side. Starter Tip: Both his Holy Aegis and Threaten skills can be canceled by hitting him with either Dark or Lightning damage! So prioritize those!

Though the office of the Shining Star stands on the second of Spillaway Peaks' three tiers, on a clear night, its rooftop beacon can be seen from miles away. This, Thelonious, the newspaper's editor-in-chief says, is a recruitment strategy. Those who see the light and travel through the wilderness towards it tend to be inquisitive and adventurous enough to make good freelance reporters. And though they followed the Shining Star's reputation before its shining light, couldn't the same be said of the crew of the Little Snail? This week on Perpetua: A Picture of the Hills 03 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.058] Side Quests[SDQS] Spillaway Peaks [SPSQ] Escort the Waylon the Photographer - 300 Asta Description: It's time for Old Waylon to take the yearly photo of the town. Guard him on his journey up the mountains to the best angle. Definitely take this quest before leaving town. You're gonna be going up that way to do other side quests anyway, and while Waylon isn't worth a damn in a fight, he also doesn't actually cause you too much trouble as long as you keep up with him! Terrapin Interest Story - 25 to 425 Asta Description: The Shining Star is paying for feature stories about the people of Spillaway Peaks. Brainstorm an idea, interview your subjects, write your article, and supplement it with art! This one is a pain in the butt and it seems really random how much you make from it. Basically, you pick from easy to difficult in each phase of the quest (topic, interview, etc.) and depending on how you do, you get more money. Each of the topics also requires you to go to different places, so like if you do a story on the school play, you have to go to the Clutch area to interview parents and children, where as if you do a story on the port's guards, you need to go down to the water to talk to them. I guess if you really need the Asta, go for it. Investigate the Livestock Deaths - 400 Asta Description: Beula's Giant Oxen have been getting sick, and some have even been dying! This is a problem, since it's almost time to dredge up new Rice Paddies. Though this looks like a side quest, it's basically mandatory. Unless you were inducted into the Luminaries by Commodore Onyx before leaving Calstega Bay, when you meet with Thelonious, he'll basically put you on a path to do this quest. As such, go read the main Calstega Bay quest section of the FAQ to learn more about this one. Kill 17 Frostoads - 100 Asta Description: N/A I honestly don't understand why this one is even on this side quest board. Isn't it supposed to be a newspaper? Why would they pay you to kill random toads? There's not even a description on it! Paper Delivery - 20 Asta Description: Deliver the Shining Star to all 15 of its readers. Okay, so, you have to go from the Shining Star to 15 different NPCs spread all across the town. And with a 20 Asta reward, it sounds like a really boring fetch quest that just wastes your time right? Well. I guess I won't say it isn't a time waster. But the important thing is that you can do this once per every Rest action. And because you can stay for free in Jonathan's family's house… that's right. It seems like you can just grind money here indefinitely. I say "seems" because I haven't tested it yet, and there is a chance that just resting repeatedly and not advancing the main plot could have consequences, like it did in Shine-Divine War Armidirge. So be careful, but let me know what happens if you do try to get infinite money here!

As you consider your 2026, we invite you to consider how you will walk out living in God. Dan looks at church history, and how Perpetua and Felicitas embodied this in a radical way when they stepped into a Roman arena with joy, unity, and unwavering faith, leaving a lasting impact on those who witnessed their sacrifice. Today, we face our own arenas, and the question remains: how will we walk the way of Jesus?
The crew of the Little Snail has come to Spillaway Peaks in search of an ally: Thelonious, the editor-in-chief of the Shining Star newspaper and a member of the mysterious group called the Luminaries. But before they can go, meet Theo, and earn his trust, they first have to do a little shopping… This week on Perpetua: A Picture of the HIlls 02 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.058] Town Maps [TNMP] Spillaway Peaks [SPMP] The Shell Barrow You know that big dome you can see at Spillaway Peaks from the world map? Yeah, this is it. This is where they do their "Weekly Rehearsal," which is like Church Sunday for them. Depending on how things go, you can visit this place at the end of the arc and get a buff. The Clutch This is where Terrapine kids grow up and go to school. You can get a pretty good Jonathan scene if you go here, but that's about it for now. The Docks and Administrative District There's not much here, except a way to get back on the Ferry and head back to Calstega Bay Jonathan's Family Home This is the only of the Clan Homes you can actually enter, but it's pretty big! It's four or five levels high (depending on how you count) and there are a ton of rooms to explore, random NPCs to talk to, and some loot too! If you do a side quest for Jonathan's dad, he can build you some gear in his workshop! The Shining Star The town newspaper. If you're ready to advance the main plot, head up to the second floor of the Shining Star. You'll automatically run into Theolonius (and Jonathan's sister is working there as an intern or something, too). But if you aren't ready yet, you can stay downstairs and use the quest board to grind out some XP and asta! Shopping District The highest level of the Spillaway City map (not counting the Spillaway Outskirts, but there you have to load out to the world map before getting there, so I don't count it!) There are three main shops here. A general store, which basically just lets you recover IP and get basic items, and then Abelene's Armory and Stokely's Specialties. Abelene's Armory Armor: Reinforced Mud Suit 300 asta | 11 Phys Def / INS size +1 Mdef | -5 Init | Earth Resistant Armor: Meditation Robe 1000 asta | Def: DEX die +1 / MDEF: INS die +2 |-2 Init Whenever you recover Mind Points, you recover 5 extra Mind Points. Armor: Choir Robe 1000 asta | Def: DEX size +1 / Mdef: INS size +2 |-2 Init Counts as 1 bonus SL of "Sound Barrier": After you sing a verse with medium or high volume, all physical damage you suffer until the start of your next turn is reduced by【SL】(applied before Affinities). Shield: Eyecatching Cape 800 z | +2 Def /+0 Mdef As long as you don't have a martial armor or another shield equipped, you may apply the effects of the Dodge Skill (see Core Rulebook, page 203). Shield: Seasoned Potlid 1500 asta | Martial |+2 Def /+2 MDef When you deal damage with a delicacy (see page 151), you deal 5 extra damage. Shield: Plated Tambourine 1700 asta | +2 Def / +0 Mdef If you have the Resonance Skill , consider your Skill Level in it increased by 2 (up to a maximum of SL 5). Weapon: Giant Fork 1000 asta | DEX + MIG | HR + 16 | Martial | Physical Damage | Spear | Two-handed | Melee | When you use this weapon with the Knife and Fork Skill, you may add the High Roll to the attack's damage (you don't have to treat it as being equal to 0). Weapon: Electrified Flyswatter 1300 asta | MIG + DEX | HR+10 | Bolt Damage | One-handed | Melee You may attack Flying creatures, but you take -3 to the roll. Stokely's Specialties Accessory: Ring of the Occultist - 600 asta Spells you cast with a target of "Up to three creatures" instead have a target of "Up to four creatures" (you must still spend additional Mind Points for the fourth target). Accessory: Spare Magicannon Chamber - 800 When you summon a Magicannon, you also receive an extra Elemental Chamber, matching the previous elemental type you stored. Accessory: Ring of Denial 600 asta When you cast the Dispel spell (Core Rulebook, page 192), its MP cost becomes "10 × T" and its target becomes "Up to three creatures". Accessory: Lightcatcher Cage - 800 asta You are Resistant to bolt and light damage. If you enter Crisis, the effect of this accessory ceases until your next rest. Accessory: Ancient Pocketwatch - 600 Asta When using the Entropist skill Stolen Time, you may use any of its options one additional time per skill use (paying requisite MP cost as normal).

On the western continent of Perpetua, four fated adventurers set out on a prophesied journey. While to the east, in the Elevana League, a trio of travelers began to investigate a metaphysical sickness. What, if anything, connected these two groups? Who was powerful enough, invested enough, to watch each from above or below—besides you and I? Perhaps, if not for the impending stress of a familial reunion and the ever present struggle between one's responsibilities to their culture and to themselves, the brilliant, Terrapine inventor Jonathan would find the perspective necessary not simply to answer these questions, but to intuit that they exist at all. Yes, I think that if it were laid out for him, he would see the patterns by now, the etchings and the echoes. But we… We have the perspective, the maps, the right roles: Storyteller and listener. And we have the chapters open in front of us: The Shadow of the Dragon Tower. The Flames of Burzin, Journey to the Bay. On Track to Iron Chains. Sizzling Rivalry. Crashing Waves. A Roar Across Cenn. Aquatic Ambush. In Too Deep. Indeed, those seven adventurers were themselves "in too deep" to know what was about to happen, to sense that there even were other heroes like themselves, whose stories carried a strange and powerful resonance. You will learn soon that they were not the only heroes across Perpetua's many cycles. And perhaps this will be part of a new map you can come to understand in time. A map which will raise a new question: Are these echoes part of a careful, yet uncanny balance in the cosmic play of our lives? Or a poetic rhyming that keeps existence itself aligned? This week on Perpetua: Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.058] Some Feedback [Page 29 of 30] CarlsSr Hey I have a question: Why does Jonathan's family suck so much @$$? XxZelgadyskXx Great question Carl! Nice to see you make a more substantive post! I definitely understand why it might seem that some of his family isn't great, but I think they're just frustrated with how long he's been away. Even for a Terrapine, that many decades seems like a long time! It also seems like they're going through a little bit of a family crisis with how his mom is getting older and sicker. Maybe if we saw them in the old days, before he left, they'd be a little more likable! TheUnforgivenIII Yeah right, once an asshole, always an asshole. The truth is that Jonatahna is a bad ass who doesn't need his family. They can't make flaming guns out of thin air. They don't have a sick ride. All they do is hold a guy like him back. Plus their music f'ing SUCKS. Doom_Tree_Anne Wow Zelgadysk, do you ever do any RP on IRC? Sounds like you'd play a great Jonathan. XxZelgadyskXx No comment! But join the server, I'm sure some people would love to talk RP with you. Alukard83 I think it's easy to get mad at a video game family that's been written to make you mad. Real family is tougher to deal with, because a lot of times you love the same people who really tick you off. That shit is tough! CarlsSr Yeah. [Extra words added to reach minimum word count.] XxZelgadyskXx Do you think Jonathan's little sister feels the same way about him that you feel about your family, Unforgiven? TheUnforgivenIII I didn't say SHIT about my family, asshole. My dad is a kick ass bike mechanic and my mom used to be a rock station DJ. Way cooler than Jonathan's dumbass church family.

Show 12-26-25 The show begins in doubts of the veneration of Cicero. and the derogation of Aggripina Minor. 1880 SULLA SACKING ROME ROME BEFORE THE EMPERORS: CICERO'S RISE Colleague Josiah Osgood. John Batchelor introduces Josiah Osgood to discuss Marcus Tullius Cicero, a "new man" who rose to political prominence through legal skill in the 1st century BCE. They examine Cicero's debut defense of Roscius, accused of patricide, a crime punished by being sewn into a sack with animals. Cicero proved Roscius was framed by relatives seeking to seize his inheritance, establishing his reputation for storytelling and detective work. NUMBER 1 THE PROSECUTION OF VERRES Colleague Josiah Osgood. Cicero takes on the corruption trial of Gaius Verres, the governor of Sicily who looted art and money from the province. Although Cicero usually defended clients to earn favors, he prosecuted Verres to align with political shifts demanding reform. Verres was backed by the Senateestablishment and Sulla's followers, making Cicero's move a bold attack by an outsider against a "crooked establishment" to cleanse the government. NUMBER 2 CICERO VS. CATILINE: THE CONSPIRACY BEGINS Colleague Josiah Osgood. Cicero captivated the jury against Verres by describing the governor partying while pirates raided Syracuse, causing Verres to flee into exile. Later, Cicero achieved the consulship by defeating Catiline, an aristocrat who became his bitter rival. Desperate after losing the election again, Catiline conspired with a fashionable group of young men to overthrow the government, leading to a showdown with Cicero in the Senate. NUMBER 3 THE EXECUTION MISTAKE Colleague Josiah Osgood. Cicero ordered the execution of five high-ranking Romancitizens allied with Catiline without a trial, believing them to be traitors who forfeited citizenship. This decision, made despite Julius Caesar's suggestion of life imprisonment, became a major political error. Cicero's gloating and refusal to grant due process alienated the public and powerful figures, turning him into a target for the populist movement and threatening his future career. NUMBER 4 THE BONA DEA SCANDAL Colleague Josiah Osgood. A scandal erupts when Publius Clodius infiltrates the women-only Bona Dea ceremony at Caesar's house disguised as a female musician, allegedly to pursue Caesar's wife. Although Cicero initially hesitated, he testified against Clodius, destroying his alibi that he was out of town. This testimony created a dangerous enemy in Clodius, who, despite the sacrilege charge, managed to secure an acquittal through bribery. NUMBER 5 EXILE AND THE TEMPLE OF LIBERTY Colleague Josiah Osgood. Seeking revenge, Clodius transitions to plebeian status to become a tribune and passes a law punishing anyone who executed citizens without trial, specifically targeting Cicero. Forced into exile, Cicero flees Rome while Clodius destroys his mansion on Palatine Hill. Clodiusdedicates the site to the goddess Liberty as a political coup and a humiliation to Cicero, while also harassing Cicero'swife, Terentia, who remained in Rome. NUMBER 6 THE IDES OF MARCH Colleague Josiah Osgood. Cicero returns to a Rome on the brink of civil war, eventually being pardoned by the victor, Caesar. Resenting Caesar's tyranny, Cicero seemingly encouraged Brutus but was not part of the assassination plot. On the Ides of March, Cicero witnessed the murder in the Senate; Brutus shouted Cicero's name while holding the bloody dagger, linking the orator to the restoration of the Republic in the public eye. NUMBER 7 THE DEATH OF CICERO Colleague Josiah Osgood. Following Caesar's death, Cicero returns to politics to oppose Mark Antony, delivering the "Philippics" and allying with young Octavian. This strategy backfires when Octavianreconciles with Antony, leading to a kill order against Cicero for his anti-Caesar rhetoric. Cicero is assassinated, possibly meeting his death with theatrical heroism by extending his neck to the soldiers, a scene likely popularized by his loyal secretary Tiro. NUMBER 8 THE SABINE WOMEN AND AUGUSTAN HISTORY Colleague Emma Southon. Emma Southon discusses A Rome of One's Own, examining history through women's perspectives. They analyze the myth of the Sabine women, abducted by Romulus to populate Rome. This story, recorded by Livy to flatter Augustus, culminates in Hersilia and the women intervening in battle to unite the warring fathers and husbands. It establishes women as the "glue" holding Romanfamilies and society together. NUMBER 9 LUCRETIA: VIRTUE AND SUICIDE Colleague Emma Southon. The discussion moves to Lucretia, the model of Roman female virtue. During a contest among husbands, Lucretia is found virtuously weaving wool while others party. This leads to her rape by Sextus Tarquinius, who threatens her reputation. To protect her honor, Lucretia confesses to her family and commits suicide, an act Augustus later used to define female virtue and which sparked the end of the monarchy. NUMBER 10 TULLIA AND THE BIRTH OF THE REPUBLIC Colleague Emma Southon. Contrasting Lucretia is Tullia, a figure of female ambition and wickedness. Tullia conspires with her brother-in-law to murder their spouses and her own father, the king, even driving over his body. Her crimes and the subsequent assault on Lucretia by her son, Sextus, justify the overthrow of the monarchy. Brutus uses Lucretia's body to incite the revolution that establishes the Roman Republic. NUMBER 11 CLODIA: THE PALATINE MEDEA Colleague Emma Southon. The segment focuses on Clodia, a wealthy, independent woman and sister of Clodius. Cicero, feuding with her brother, attacks Clodia's reputation during the trial of Caelius. In his speech Pro Caelio, Cicero characterizes her as a "Palatine Medea" and a seductress to discredit her claims of attempted poisoning. Unable to speak in court, Clodia is silenced by Cicero's rhetorical assassination of her character. NUMBER 12 JULIA: THE EMPEROR'S REBELLIOUS DAUGHTER Colleague Emma Southon. Augustus uses his daughter Julia as a political tool, marrying her to Marcellus, Agrippa, and finally the reluctant Tiberius to secure an heir. While she had five children with Agrippa, her forced marriage to Tiberius leads to rebellion. Julia engages in public adulterous affairs to humiliate her father, resulting in her permanent exile and eventual starvation by Tiberius after Augustus'sdeath. NUMBER 13 QUEENS OF BRITAIN: CARTIMANDUA AND BOUDICCA Colleague Emma Southon. This segment contrasts two British queens: Cartimandua and Boudicca. Cartimandua, queen of the Brigantes, collaborates successfully with Rome, understanding they are "not to be defeated, they're to be pleased." Conversely, Boudicca represents resistance; provoked by Roman mistreatment, she leads a rebellion but is defeated. While Tacitus claims Boudicca committed suicide to preserve honor, English schools celebrate her as a symbol of resistance against tyranny. NUMBER 14 WOMEN OF COMMERCE AND THE FRONTIER Colleague Emma Southon. We meet Julia Felix, a Pompeianentrepreneur who ran a luxury bath and dining complex, offering "bougie" experiences to the middle class before dying in the Vesuvius eruption. The discussion shifts to Vindolanda in Britain, where letters between Sulpicia Lepidina and Claudia Severa reveal a vibrant social life for women in military forts, including birthday parties and domestic luxuries like wild swan and imported wine. NUMBER 15 PERPETUA AND THE RISE OF CHRISTIANITY Colleague Emma Southon. The final segment discusses Perpetua, a young nursing mother and Christian convert in Carthage. Defying the Roman mandate to sacrifice to the emperor, she views suffering as redemptive rather than a punishment. Unlike Romans who viewed suicide by poison as honorable, Perpetua and her slave Felicity choose martyrdom in the arena, having their throats cut to demonstrate their faith, signaling the rise of Christianity. NUMBER 16

NUMBER 16
Does Jesus bring peace or conflict? In this message, we explore the startling tension between the "Peace on Earth" announced by the angels at Christ’s birth (Luke 2) and Jesus’ later claim that He came to bring "a sword" (Matthew 10). Many of us want an easy peace—the kind that avoids conflict at the cost of compromise. But the Peace of Christ is different. It is a light that exposes darkness and a sword of distinction between what is holy and what is not. In this video, you’ll discover: • Why the "tension" in Scripture is necessary and real. • Moving stories of martyrs like Perpetua and Hans & Sophie Scholl, who chose the Light over safety. • How to identify where you might be compromising yourself for a "false peace." Whether you’re feeling the joy of the season or the division that often comes with standing for Truth, this message will challenge you to take up your cross and follow the Prince of Peace.

A sudden confrontation! Having 'sniffed out' a lead, Antistrophe, Brontë, and Caoimhe have dug their way towards the truth. That truth rests in the underground archive of the Hexcloaks' regional headquarters in Cenn, City of Iron Chains. But such a basement does not go unguarded. To arms, Team ABC! This week on Perpetua: In Too Deep 03 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.055] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] Hortensius, Venomous Hexcloak [NMHR] Traits: Joyful, Experimental, Cruel Stats: DEX 6, INS 10, MIG 6, WLP 10 Attacks: Toxic Whip, Poison Cloud Special Abilities: Heal In-Game Description: A misanthropic hexcloak with a mastery of toxins, venoms, and other poisons. Hortensius may not seem like the most dangerous of the Cenn Hexcloak Trio, but his mastery of poisons means that he can really wear you down (or set you up for another of the trio to knock you out.) Unsurprisingly, he resists poison damage. Starter Tip: Poison Cloud can hit everyone, and it always hits. Get ready to use some tonics! Maxi, Earthen Hexcloak [NMMX] Traits: Tough, Direct, Snobbish Stats: DEX 10, INS 6, MIG 12, WLP 6 Attacks: Stone Maul Special Abilities: Status Immunity, Stoneshield In-Game Description: A Hexcloak soldier who combines expertise of earthen enchantment with finely honed martial prowess. Maxi is proof that sometimes all you need is a big stick. She doesn't have special attacks or active abilities, just a collection of strong defensive passives and a really high Might (which she tends to keep high because of her Status Immunity ability). Starter Tip: She resists both earth and, more importantly, physical damage. Spell damage is your best bet here! Mercurion, Voltaic Hexcloak [NMMR] Traits: Laconic, Rude, Mercurial Stats: DEX 10, INS 10, MIG 6, WLP 6 Attacks: Electrified Dagger, Hexipistol, Fulgur Special Abilities: Flying (Bugged?) In-Game Description: Impudent in speech. Electric in action. Mercurion seems to be the leader of the Cenn Hexcloak Trio, and for good reason. They can dish out big damage QUICK with their Fulgur ability (and it also has a low chance of making you dazed). Try to knock them down even quicker, or else Hortensius' heal will make them a real pain in your behind. Starter Tip: The game says they're flying, and they have a hovering animation, but some people have reported that Mercurion isn't actually flying in their boss fight. So don't worry if it seems broken, it's just a bug!
Castine, Living Metal, has retreated to his chambers to channel his power. An ancient dragon continues to slam at the city's protective dome. Kley Kaina has been dragged away by Commander Thereus Aegir. Something suspicious lurks inside the Hexcloak Headquarters of Cenn, City of Iron Chains. And Antistrophe Landrace, Brontë Adelvys and Caoimhe Wake have pledged to get to the bottom of it… literally. This week on Perpetua: In Too Deep 02 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.055] Dungeon Maps [DNMP] Cenn Tunnels Map [CTDM] Honestly, even though there are a few spots where you can get into fights, it's hard to call the Cenn Tunnels a dungeon. But because there's a boss fight at the end, and secrets throughout, I decided to put the maps here. It's important to remember that you can dig anywhere but only the spots I've marked here will lead to anything. Don't waste your time digging into empty hollow areas! Map Map with Solution S - Starting Point Whenever you leave from here, all the enemies encounters down here will re-populate. So if you really wanna grind during this section of the game, this is probably the only place to do it. 1 - Wormking Nest If you are desperate for XP, you can dig into this hollow in order to fight a wormking (it's like a ratking but for worms). Each time you dig a new passage into this zone, another battle will start. Not worth the time in my opinion, but maybe it's worth it if you're right at the edge of a level! 2 - Buried Dig Site An old dig site from before Castine's Moon appeared a hundred years ago. There's a few random valuables that you can find here. I got a golden shovel! 3 - Ore Vein You can get some upgrade materials here. Especially useful if you're trying to upgrade Antistrophe's shields! 4 - Flegg Alcove Three level-synched fleggs will spawn here as soon as you enter the tunnels at point S. If you take too long, they'll start wandering around and can actually ambush you! E - Exit This is where you can start digging your way towards the Hexcloak Headquarter Basement. Make sure you're all healed up and ready for a boss fight! Hosted by Austin Walker (austinwalker.bsky.social) Featuring Janine Hawkins (@bleatingheart), Sylvi Bullet (@sylvibullet), and Keith J Carberry (@keithjcarberry) Produced by Ali Acampora Music by Jack de Quidt (available on bandcamp) Cover Art by Ben McEntee (https://linktr.ee/benmce.art) With thanks to Amelia Renee, Arthur B., Aster Maragos, Bill Kaszubski, Cassie Jones, Clark, DB, Daniel Laloggia, Diana Crowley, Edwin Adelsberger, Emrys, Greg Cobb, Ian O'Dea, Ian Urbina, Irina A., Jack Shirai, Jake Strang, Katie Diekhaus, Ken George, Konisforce, Kristina Harris Esq, L Tantivy, Lawson Coleman, Mark Conner, Mike & Ruby, Muna A, Nat Knight, Olive Perry, Quinn Pollock, Robert Lasica, Shawn Drape, Shawn Hall, Summer Rose, TeganEden, Thomas Whitney, Voi, chocoube, deepFlaw, fen, & weakmint This episode was made with support from listeners like you!

La Iglesia, desde los primeros siglos, ha profesado y defendido como verdad de fe la doctrina de la Virginidad Perpetua de María. L'articolo La virginidad perpetua de María – Miércoles 03 Diciembre 2025 proviene da Radio Maria.
A confrontation with the Hexcloak Commander, whose ominous air suggests dire motives. A conversation with the living god of metal, whose curious mind pries into their own. A conflict with an ancient draconic mole, whose thunderous anger threatens the city of chains. Antistrophe Landrace, Bronte Adelvys, and Caoimhe Wake have faced all of this and more during their stay in Cenn. And yet, for now, they've remained to help the city—now blocked off from the rest of the world by a massive sphere of pure iron—as it rebuilds from the dragon's earth-shaking attack. A city as great as Cenn can recover, but it needs more than time. People need healing. Structures need mending. Fearful spirits need to be calmed. But mysteries abound. Where is Kley Kaina? What is the sourcerot? How are the hexcloaks involved? Lost, they turn to a pair of surprising allies. Johnny Cakes and Jimmy Cones. Mango Chili Chutney. Pineapple Basil. Matcha Sesame Brittle. Mango Habanero. Lavender Lemonade. Coconut Lime Sorbet. Lemon Basil Sorbet. Beetroot Ginger Swirl. These are the leading flavors of Cakes and Cones Ice Cream this year. Sold and delivered across Cenn by the Dessert Brothers' team of noble White Caps, whose confectionary comportment gives them access to the lowest of gutters and the highest halls of power. Perhaps these ice cream boys will have the perspective that team ABC needs to crack their investigation wide open. Or, perhaps, the clue is closer than that, mixed in with the dairy and the fruit and the flavor extract and the sugar, buried in the tasty, tasty cream itself. This week on Perpetua: In Too Deep 01 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.055] Some Feedback [Page 25 of 27] Doom_Tree_Anne What do you think every party member's favorite flavor of Ice Cream is? Personally, I think Veile likes Mango Chili Chutney and Elena likes Mango Habanero. For obvious reasons. CarlsJr The best flavor is chocolate. Doom_Tree_Anne But chocolate isn't on the list of available flavors from the Desert Bros., which is actually FASCINATING because of the lore implications. It suggests one of two things is true: Either the people of Cenn (or perhaps the Elevana League, or even the whole Eastern Continent) don't have a taste for it (which is hard to believe!), OR they don't have access to the cacao plant, which would mean no chocolate. In fact, the inclusion of TWO mango flavors might suggest that the flora of Perpetua is more closely tied to that of the Indian Subcontinent and the rest of Southeast Asia. I visited my grandmother in Indonesia when I was on summer break between high school and college, and she had a HUGE mango tree in her back yard! XxZelgadyskXx That's really cool Anne, but remember, Elena did mention chocolate in the marshmallow scene! :3 Anyway, I think Antistrophe probably likes the Matcha one. I haven't had it, but I looked it up and it looks green and healthy, and he seems like someone who takes care of his body in that way. And I think Jonathan would do the Pineapple Basil. I don't know why, I just do. TheUnforgivenIII Sorry Doomtree, we don't really have a good answer for this. Maybe if Nei actually kept this FAQ updated like it was SUPPOSED TO BE then we'd know what all the flavors do and what the the best ones are for each character. TheDiamondRanger I read in a preview that all the flavors get randomized when you start the game, so that doesn't make sense. Alukard83 I think that's only for Nicky's abilities. Anyway, Bronte likes the most expensive flavor for sure. And I think Unforgiven doesn't like getting any dessert at all because he's always so rude!

The Little Snail floats aboard Captain Hornbeam Hypostyle's Crystal Conch Express, strapped down to its large, open deck, cutting a boxy silhouette against the light of the horizon. Beautiful though it may be, it also sends a sharp signal to any ill-willed onlookers: There is cargo aboard! It is for this reason that Captain Hypostyle does not like to transport vehicles across the bay… This week on Perpetua: Aquatic Ambush! 02 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.05] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] Kay - Clay Crewman [NMKAY] Typical Traits: obedient, learning, gullible Stats: DEX 10, INS 6, MIG 10, WLP 6 Attacks: Arm Club, Clay Toss Special Abilities: Construct, Self-Repair In-Game Description: A strange, humanoid figure seemingly made from red-brown clay. No facial features, fine details, or clothing. The Klaye Pirates are a group you'll get used to fighting if you end up doing a lot of sea travel in the game. They're like the main humanoid enemy group there. And the Kays are the lowest rank Klayes, so you'll fight them the most. The good news is they're really straight forward, especially since they're weak to fire. They're strong and fast physical damage dealers, and they can self-heal in a pinch, but that's about it. Starter Tip: Their "self-repair" heal is really annoying! If you have one in crisis, it's worth knocking it out! (That's a good tip in general too: You almost always want to tackle one enemy at a time, so that you can reduce the incoming damage you're taking quicker! Don't spread your damage around. Focus wins fights!) Kel - Stony Sailor [NMKEL] Typical Traits: bold, carefree, salty Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 8, WLP 8 Attacks: Clay Cutlass, Flint Flintlock Special Abilities: Counterslash, Self-Repair+ In-Game Description: A humanoid made from clay, with baked-in sailor's garb. If the Kays are the Klaye Pirates low level grunts, I guess the Kels are sort of their average workhorse. Their Flintlock attack can target two of your party members each round, and their counterslash makes it a pain to do melee damage to them. The good news is that they're weak to bolt damage, so blast em from above and watch them break into little pieces! Starter Tip: As constructs, they're immune to poison damage (and the poisoned status) and resistant to earth damage! Don't waste your time, just smash 'em! Klaw - Muddy Mate [NMKLW] Typical Traits: ??? Stats: ??? Attacks: ??? Special Abilities: ??? In-Game Description: ??? I haven't actually fought one of these yet (so I haven't had the chance to do a study action on them), but one got added to the fight just before I escaped to Spillaway Peaks, so I saw the name. Anyone know what the deal is? Starter Tip: Kay, Kel, Klaw. What is up with these names? Hosted by Austin Walker (austinwalker.bsky.social) Featuring Ali Acampora (ali-online.bsky.social), Art Martinez-Tebbel (amtebbel.bsky.social), Jack de Quidt (notquitereal.bsky.social), and Andrew Lee Swan (swandre3000.bsky.social) Produced by Ali Acampora Music by Jack de Quidt (available on bandcamp) Cover Art by Ben McEntee (https://linktr.ee/benmce.art) With thanks to Amelia Renee, Arthur B., Aster Maragos, Bill Kaszubski, Cassie Jones, Clark, DB, Daniel Laloggia, Diana Crowley, Edwin Adelsberger, Emrys, Greg Cobb, Ian O'Dea, Ian Urbina, Irina A., Jack Shirai, Jake Strang, Katie Diekhaus, Ken George, Konisforce, Kristina Harris Esq, L Tantivy, Lawson Coleman, Mark Conner, Mike & Ruby, Muna A, Nat Knight, Olive Perry, Quinn Pollock, Robert Lasica, Shawn Drape, Shawn Hall, Summer Rose, TeganEden, Thomas Whitney, Voi, chocoube, deepFlaw, fen, & weakmint This episode was made with support from listeners like you!

Before he departed from Calstega Bay, the man named Onyx, Commodore of the Valte Empire and member of the mysterious group known as the Luminaries, gave the crew of the Little Snail some words of advice: Take a boat east, to Spillaway Peaks, and find an ally there under the Shining Star. Thus do Veile, Elena, Nicky, and Jonathan head towards the shoreline, towards new adventures—and for one of them, old haunts. You may not know Spillaway Peaks. Indeed, places like that are too easily overlooked. Many would tell you a history of Tidaline, Perpetua's Western Continent, focused only on its greatest kingdom, its most powerful church, and the invading armada that scourges its shores. And while Grand Sonnerie, the Holy Protectorate, and the Valte Empire have tried as hard as they can to control the chronicling of time, take it from this old historian: The smallest gust can usher in a hurricane. So learn these names: Belowave. Geseis. Nezt. Invernal. Salann. Burgton. Stitchscore. Spillaway Peaks. Cities hidden under the waves or behind the hills. Places which turned away warships with simple ribbons, or confounded pillagers with puzzles. One village of games, one village of spies, one village where soldiers refused to be soldiers anymore. Call them parochial or call them provincial if you must, but understand this. Perpetua is not the territory of territory alone. It is not a battlefield made by battalions. It is a world where heroes move history, and where heroes have homes. Some such heroes, if they are lucky, may even get to return to them one day. This week on Perpetua: This week on Pepetua: Across the Bay Pt. 1 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.05] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] Hydrazoa [NMHDZ] Typical Traits: floating, glowing, silent, transparent Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 10, WLP 6 Attacks: Acid Touch, Stinging Tentacles Special Abilities: Flying In-Game Description: Every slithering tentacle of these bizarre, floating jellyfish monsters is filled with a powerful neurotoxin. As far as I can tell, the only way to encounter these guys is by generating an ambush on the shoreline or in the sea. And something is really FISHY about these jellyfish, too. They have original art, but it's almost like they're ripped directly from a different game in terms of their moves and stats and even their description! Maybe they're a holdover from the original Fabula Ultima game engine? Starter Tip: Even though they do bolt damage with those tentacles, they're also weak to bolt! They might sting you, but sting 'em right back. Living Seaweed [NMLSW] Typical Traits: aggressive, cursed, quick, tangly Stats: DEX 10, INS 8, MIG 8, WLP 6 Attacks: Corrupting Grasp, Dark Sting Special Abilities: Plant In-Game Description: A tangle of ravenous kelp. I don't really get this thing. It's like some seaweed that wants to choke you? Why. It doesn't have teeth. It doesn't have a mouth. It doesn't have a stomach. Seaweeds don't need to kill to survive. So why is this one trying to munch on the party!Starter Tip: Don't even bother to give them dazed, enraged, or shaken. They're immune!
Mining Stock Daily welcomes Jon Cherry, CEO of Perpetua Resources, to discuss the strategically important Stibnite Gold Project in Idaho. Stibnite is advancing as a critical mineral supplier while simultaneously committing to the responsible restoration of a long-neglected mining district. The project holds the United States' only SK 1300 published reserve of antimony, a critical mineral the U.S. currently relies on from foreign sources. Antimony is vital for national defense, as the Stibnite project is expected to supply about 35% of the U.S. demand, including crucial antimony trisulfide for military munitions. Cherry details the project's recent milestones, including receiving the federal record of decision and the final 404 wetlands permit, allowing the company to break ground on construction about a month ago. The CEO unpacks the monumental $255 million financing package, featuring investments from Agnico Eagle and JP Morgan Chase, highlighting that Perpetua was the inaugural recipient of the latter's Strategic Resilience Initiative funding.

Recording date: 4th November 2025The gold mining sector demonstrated extraordinary financial performance in Q3 2025, with gold stabilizing near $4,000 per ounce and silver between $47-49 after a recent $300 pullback. Major producers generated unprecedented free cash flow despite market volatility, positioning the sector for sustained growth.Agnico Eagle Mines produced exceptional results with $3 billion in revenue and 66% gross margins, generating $1.2 billion in free cash flow at all-in sustaining costs of $1,400 per ounce. At current gold prices, this translates to approximately $17-18 million in daily free cash flow. Newmont Corporation similarly posted strong performance with $8 billion in revenue and $1.6 billion in free cash flow from 1.4 million ounces produced.Despite Federal Reserve rate cuts temporarily reducing global liquidity flows, the fundamental investment case for precious metals remains robust. Market weakness may extend through November, but recovery is anticipated approaching December's Fed meeting as monetary debasement trends continue supporting sector strength.M&A activity accelerated significantly with Fresnillo acquiring Probe Gold for $780 million cash, marking the world's largest primary silver producer's expansion into Canadian gold assets. This departure from Mexican operations may signal jurisdiction concerns given limited recent permitting activity. Coeur Mining's acquisition of New Gold demonstrated valuation arbitrage opportunities, with the U.S.-domiciled company leveraging its 50% premium to double operational scale while achieving 40% net accretion.Strategic investments are flowing downstream from major producers to developers and explorers. Gold Fields invested $50 million in Founders Metals targeting Suriname projects, while B2Gold deployed $10 million into Prospector Metals for Yukon exploration. These investments represent modest commitments relative to daily free cash flow generation Agnico's $180 million Perpetua investment equals just ten days of current free cash flow.The preference for cash transactions injects capital directly into specialist mining funds likely to redeploy within the sector, creating a multiplier effect. Development-stage assets trading at 0.4 times net asset value versus full NAV multiples for producers enable immediate accretion through strategic acquisitions.This capital migration down the market capitalization structure from major producers to mid-tier companies, developers, and explorers represents an early-stage phenomenon with substantial additional activity expected as producer profitability compounds at sustained gold prices.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Dr. Nijay Gupta Dr. Kelley Mathews Dr. Nijay Gupta, author of Tell Her Story, joins BOW Team Member Kelley Mathews in this fascinating discussion of persecuted women in the early church. What can we learn from their stories? How do their stories encourage our faith and our own courage? What can we learn from them? What do we miss when we fail to study them? These women's stories provide models for us today to stand up for Christ, to know that he is better than anything that comes into our lives, and to be willing to cling to him no matter what happens to us or our country in the future. Recommended resources By Dr. Gupta Tell Her Story: How Women Led, Taught, and Ministered in the Early Church Redeeming Eden: How Women in the Bible Advance the Story of Salvation by Ingrid Faro and Joyce Koo Dalrymple nijaykgupta.substack.com Christianity Today article by Dr. Gupta, "Junia, the Female Apostle Imprisoned for the Gospel" This episode is available on video if you prefer watching.

I'm your host Kelley Mathews. And today I have with me Dr. Nijay Gupta. He is a professor at Northern Seminary and a prolific author. Welcome, Nijay. Dr. Gupta >> Hi, Kelley. Looking forward to our conversation. Kelley >> So this is going to be fun, I think. I mean, well, fun. That's relative, I guess. But it'll be intriguing I think. Nijay has written a lot of books. He's been a professor for a while. A lot of his books have to do with Paul and the New Testament letters that he wrote. But he's also written one particular book that is specific to our topic today, and it is called Tell Her Story came out a couple of years ago, and it basically tells about the women in the New Testament who were really involved in leading and participating in the mission of the church. So it has become quite popular, from what I understand. I certainly enjoyed it. Dr. Gupta >> Yes, thank you. Yeah, it's funny. I, you know, just had an idea to write this book, and I sent it to an editor friend of mine, Anna Gissing, and she was so excited. And then it just sort of took off from there. So a big thank you to Intervarsity Press for publishing it. Kelley >> Oh, they're great. So one of the women in that book we're going to start with. Our topic today is specific, not that broad of women involved in the church, but specifically ones who were imprisoned for their faith. And one of the women you cover in the book does hold that honor, I suppose. And we're also going to talk about one who is post biblical days who are still in the early church and maybe will hit a third one. So, Nijay, tell us who Junia is and why we need to know about her. Dr. Gupta >> Yeah. A lot of my work on this subject owes a debt to Romans 16, which is the last chapter of Paul's big letter to the Romans. And I used to think of Romans 16 as a bunch of kind of hellos that Paul gives at the end of the letter, almost like end credits in a movie. And you sort of get up, you don't pay attention. You leave the movie theater. And so I had a friend in seminary who actually memorized the whole book of Romans, and he asked me, how should I memorize Roman 16? And I said, You're at the end. Just finish it off. But there's that sense of you're preaching through Romans. You kind of, you know, have so much to work with. Just in the first four chapters, let alone get to chapter 11, let alone if you get to chapter 15 that I don't know if I hear from any very many sermons on Romans 16.
Cenn, City of Chains shakes and rumbles. A threat once only felt through the tremors of the ground emerges, claws long, hide scaled, and sharp… sharp all over. Even whiskers sharp. A master of the earth. A being that digs not only through the earth, but through—or around, or perhaps outside of—time itself! The Draco-Mole appears! This week on Perpetua: A Roar Across Cenn 04 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.05] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] Rotten Draco-Mole [NMGNS] Traits: Frenzied, Confused, Furious, Single-Minded Stats: DEX 6, INS 6, MIG 12, WLP 8 Attacks: Stone Cage, Heavy Claw, Plate Swipe Special Abilities: Dragon's Breath, Rub Some Dirt On It!, Dig In-Game Description: A massive, draconic mole shaking with an ancient power. Chances are that you managed to de-escalate or speed through the Kalsi confrontation, which means that there's a good chance that this will be the first "real" boss fight for your eastern party campaign. So: Make sure to come in prepared: Rest up (and use your most combat-focused camp activities). Top up on inventory points. Make sure you get your equipment sorted. And then go fight a big friggin' dragon! This thing (which I heard you can learn the 'real' name of, but I haven't found it yet) is TOUGH. A ton of HP and really solid defense compared to most enemies you've fought so far. Plus, it has a full set of elemental resistances, immunities, and weaknesses. It doesn't take "neutral" damage from ANYTHING. Focus on Dark, Light, and Poison damage if you have any abilities, and don't forget about the power of elemental shards! In terms of staying safe, the Rotten Draco-Mole mostly does physical and earth damage, so prep to resist that, too. You should also try to time your healing right. When it hides underground, that's your chance to spend a turn licking your own wounds (just like it can do!). Starter Tip: STONECAGE DOES NOT GO AWAY ON ITS OWN. You have to break the walls or dig the person stuck inside out yourself. Prioritize this!
This week's long-form episode of Mining Stock Daily welcomes back Adam Hawkins and Chris Temple to focus entirely on the mining industry within the United States, following Trevor Hall's attendance at the Idaho mining conference. The core discussion revolves around whether the U.S. is a better jurisdiction for mining now than it was a year or two ago, considering both favorable geology and turbulent policy issues like construction costs and tariffs. A major topic addressed is the significant $75 million investment by JP Morgan into Perpetua's Stibnite project, marking a potentially unprecedented moment of major U.S. financial institution involvement in hard rock mining. The guests agree that while capital flows are modestly improving, the country generally lacks the comprehensive industrial policy needed to rebuild the extractive industries. They express concern that the U.S. regulatory system is "unhinged" compared to countries like Canada or Australia, noting that permitting holdups and subsequent litigation are costly for investors. The conversation also delves into geopolitics, stressing that achieving mineral security requires a strong North American partnership and urgent action to overcome China's long-term planning advantage and rebuild U.S. processing infrastructure. Ending on a positive note, the hosts celebrate the news that the University of Idaho is opening a new geological engineering school, signaling a step in the right direction for the domestic industry.

All across the Elevana League, pilgrims leave their homes and travel over great distances towards the city of Cenn, determined to meet with the only member of the Ennead who deigns to walk amongst their worshippers. As a matter of propriety and faith, what transpires between Castine and his believers is largely kept between the embodiment of metal and his visitors. But it is not uncommon to see echoes of the conversations in the life that follows. Greater confidence. Lesser cruelty. A new found curiosity. When you walk your lap with the Living Metal, it is said, you may find yourself newly tempered. This week on Perpetua: A Roar Across Cenn 03 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.05] Some Feedback [Page 22 of 24] Alukard83 What do you think you'd ask Castine if you could walk with him? FriendOfNei You actually can if you get the right answers during the Temple Infiltration. But that's a good question, I'll load my backup save and try to update the FAQ soon with as many answers as I can get from him soon! Alukard83 Oh thanks. But I meant in real life. Like would you ask about the future or about the past or maybe about some secret only he would know? TheDiamondRanger I'd ask him where the ultimate weapons are! TheUnforgivenIII Wow, a rare good question from Reverse Dracula. I think I'd ask about my grandparents (mom's side). Never really got to know them. XxZelgadyskXx I don't know that Castine knows about stuff like that. He seems more into like, statues and shovels and things made of metal. XD Alukard83 I mean he's a God right? God is omni-scient, so he'd have to know about things like TUIII's grandparents. Even if we just meant in Perpetua and not IRL, he could watch them from like… candle sticks and forks and stuff right. CarlsJr god doesn't exist lol Doom_Tree_Anne I think it's a good question, Alukard83! From what I've read, it's not clear what exactly Castine (or God, if she DOES exist, I'm agnostic) can or can't do. Sure, there's clearly a lot of miraculous and powerful stuff that happens in the story (game and IRL religions). But there are always limits, right? Like how Castine couldn't see into the Hexcloak office because Aegir did that trick with the light and with Caoimhe's sword, or how in real life, a supposedly benevolent (that means kind and loving) God lets bad things happen to people. But that doesn't mean that they aren't loving. Just that they aren't actually all powerful. A lot like us. Anyway I thought it was a good question so I wrote a fic about it over on the Creative Writing board. If you search for “Walking In Iron Shoes” you should be able to find it. Let me know what you think n.n;;; TheDiamondRanger What's a fic???

There is plenty puzzling about the doctrine of the resurrection, no matter which way you slice it. But it's extra puzzling if you prioritize the immortality of the soul over the resurrection of the body, and if you prioritize the resurrection of the body over the resurrection of the dead. In this episode Dad and I warmly invite Cappadocian father Gregory of Nyssa and his accomplished sister Macrina the Teacher to show us all the good impulses toward a doctrine of the resurrection, along with all the bad ways to defend it.

Mothers and children were devalued in ancient Greco-Roman society. The advent of Christianity, however, introduced a radically different perspective - that every human being at every level of society has value and worth because we are all made in the image of God, the Imago Dei. What can we learn from the early Christians about valuing human life and what it means to live as a Christian in the world but not of it? We talk with historian, author, and mother Nadya Williams about these and other issues pertaining to the value and worth of human beings both in ancient societies and in our own. Nadya Williams (from the publisher website): Nadya Williams (PhD, Princeton) walked away from academia after fifteen years as a professor of history and classics. She is now a homeschool mom, book review editor at Current, and a contributing editor at Providence magazine. She is the author of Cultural Christians in the Early Church (Zondervan Academic, 2023), and numerous articles and essays in Current, Plough, Christianity Today, Front Porch Republic, Fairer Disputations, Law and Liberty, Church Life Journal, and others.

After an ominous meeting with Thereus Aegir, leader of the Hexcloaks, Caoimhe Wake regroups with Brontë Adelvys and Antistrophe Landrace, fresh from their victorious Beachminton showdown in Seawalk. Caoimhe shares the ultimatum she received from Aegir: Find out whether the recent earthquakes are tied to Castine, Living Metal. Which raises the question: How does one go about investigating a member of the Ennead while he is surrounded by his most loyal followers? This week on Perpetua: A Roar Across Cenn 02 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.05] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] I've been waiting to put these in until we had stats, but I guess we just aren't getting those during the early acts. Jimmy Cone & Johnny Cakes [NMJJC] Traits: Arrogant, Ambitious, Competitive, Playful Stats: ??? Attacks: Ace Killer, Back to the Fundamentals, Big Little Bro Backhand, Big Little Bro Beachminton Bash, Classic Comeback Shot, Desperate Dexterous Swing, Dexterous Hit, Final Shot, Jimjam Slam, NORMAL OL' HIT, Patty-Cake Patty-Cake Baker's Lob, Rapid Fire Double Down Super Shot, Slippy Slappy Overhand, Signature Dexterous Hit, Veteran's Return Spells: ??? In-Game Description: Brotherly heirs to the Cenn City dessert empire. Sigh. I don't really get it. Why do they share a character profile page when they clearly have different stats? Why aren't their stats visible even after you beat them in Beachminton. Is their whole concept some sort of reference I don't get? I think this game is pretty funny, but every comedian has some bad jokes. Kley Kaina [NMKLA] Traits: Skeptical, Mysterious, Just, Vengeful Stats: ??? Attacks: ??? Spells: ??? In-Game Description: Caoimhe's childhood friend, a Poison Elf who has trained to be a doctor. Somewhere along the way, they developed strange allegiances. You know when you watch an anime and you go “I hope that side character gets a whole episode?” That's how I feel about Kley. What's their deal!? Why are they so pissed off about Caoimhe joining the Hexcloaks. And what “strange allegiances” do they have? Delani Kaina [NMDLK] Traits: Faithful, Brusque, Determined, Demanding Stats: ??? Attacks: ??? Spells: ??? In-Game Description: Kley Kaina's mother and a loyal follower of Castine. On a pilgrimage to Cenn. I wish she wasn't so mean to Kley, but I can't help but like her. It's funny that she has a big crush on Castine, it's sort of like being in love with a Greek God, but I guess that happened in myths too so why not in a game? Thereus Aegir [NMTHA] Traits: ??? Stats: ??? Attacks: ??? Spells: ??? In-Game Description: Leader of the Hexcloaks. “Leader of the Hexcloaks.” That's it!? You couldn't even say “Cruel leader of the Hexcloaks” or “Mysterious leader of the Hexcloaks?” Not saying more makes him even MORE mysterious. And why are his TRAITS hidden? It's not like he's hiding being a jackass, he just is one! Athon, Castine's High Cleric [NMATH] Traits: Devoted, Strict, Punctual, Knowledgeable Stats: ??? Attacks: ??? Spells: ??? In-Game Description: Castine's chief attendant, responsible for the affairs of his Temple. Athon is sort of a mirror. If you choose all the hostile dialog options, he's a real prick back to you. If you choose all the more quiet, humble ones, he'll reflect respect back to you. I'm not sure it really matters if you piss this guy off or not, but if you don't want to get scolded, just be polite and patient. Castine, Living Metal [NMCLM] Traits: Curious, Mercurial, Empathetic, Caring Stats: ??? Attacks: ??? Spells: ??? In-Game Description: Second newest member of the Ennead. Connected to metal and physical damage. I have some guesses about what “second newest” member of the Ennead means, but that's it for now. Here's my big theory though: There's gotta be some connection between him and Scintero, since Scintero is “Living Bolt” and Castine is “Living Metal,” right?

Called to Cenn, City of Iron Chains, Caiomhe Wake, Antistrophe Landrace, Brontë Adelvys (and his two attendants), arrive to find crisis rumbling in burg. The Hexcloaks have quietly taken over town governance, while outside, tremors have turned to quakes, even bringing harm to the Ironclad Parade—the statuary whose inhabitants were once devotees to Castine, Living Metal. Perhaps such devotion is earned in part by the curious community that Castine has built here in Cenn since his arrival a century ago. While the archeological dig that gave Cenn its full moniker continues, the city is now known just as well for the smells of its sizzling food, its many seaside diversions, and the spiritual contemplation offered by the lunar temple that graces the moon resting at its center. There, Castine walks with pilgrims who have traveled seeking his company, his wisdom, or his divine favor. But however pure he's kept his temple, he could never keep it safe from the prying eyes of the other members of the Ennead: Ryme, Master of Ice. Lucena, Bringer of Light. Zephius, the Old Wind. Gritt of the Earth. Scintero, Living Bolt. Cinner, Soldier of Ash. Pharmakos the Poisoner. Caliginia, Fated Darkness. None of these divine beings are omniscient, and none omnipotent, but each is capable, powerful, and driven by their own ends, their own understanding of responsibility, and their own relationship to the Perpetuan Cycle. “What must they think,” you might wonder, “about the Sourcerot, which threatens to end the world ahead of its scheduled decline? What must they think about these heroes journeying across continents in search of destiny?” Well, my own thoughts will be saved for now. But soon, in the city of Cenn, one so-called god will speak. This week on Perpetua: Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.05] MiniGames and Side Activities [MGSA] Wordzin [MGWZ] In-Game Description: A word-association game with its origins in the Elevana League town of Burzin. You're prompted with one word and then you're given a choice of words to pick that all could be associated with that first word. Your goal is to pick the same word as the second “dealer.” At first, I thought that this game was totally random, but after talking to people on the forum, it sounds like you can start to predict what style of word the computer will pick based on which dealer modeler is being used. The one with the long fancy mustache tends to pick adjectives fancy words and is the only one who uses adverbs. The lady with the big eyes tends to pick animals and weapons. The guy with the apron on picks verbs the most (but not exclusively). When you get the twin dealers, though, it IS totally random! I guess it's like they have an inside joke going? Calstega Cook Off! [MGCO] In-Game Description: After the success of the first cooking competition, the people of Northcrook decided to run a regular Cook Off competition as part of a ‘neighborhood revitalization' effort. The game basically counts on you paying attention during the first time this minigame shows up, because there is NO tutorialization after that. You're just dropped back into the town as if you're not even in a minigame. Once I loaded a save and was confused why I couldn't even leave the screen, because I forgot I saved after starting the Cook Off! So : Step 1: Pay attention to the theme of Cook Off is. They say this up top and will NOT repeat it. 2. Try to learn the judge's tastes. Most of the time you can do this through a few skill checks, but once I had to do a duel, and once they made me do this weird tower puzzle (a minigame INSIDE of a minigame!?). 3. Come with good ingredients. Even though you can normally buy ingredients inside of a settlement (you have been doing that, right?) you can't do it once you start the Cook Off! Beachminton [MGBM] In-Game Description: The favorite pastime of Cenn's beach goers. Hit the Sandy Shuttlecock onto your opponent's side, but be careful not to break it! I don't know anything about real badminton, except that every single word associated with it is funny. But Beachminton is pretty simple: Look at the sand ball to see how close it is to breaking apart: if it's in crisis you can see sand falling off of it while its in slow motion between rounds. If it's close to breaking, try to hit it with your weakest character and use any tricks you can to do low damage. If it's not close to breaking, try to hit it as hard as you can. At least that's how I play!

In this episode of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Drew and Tim dive into one of the most sobering yet inspiring themes in the history of the church—martyrdom. From the earliest disciples to modern believers still facing persecution today, the stories of those who gave everything for Christ challenge us to examine our own faith. What does it mean to live with boldness instead of fear? And how can we honor the legacy of martyrs in the way we live today?The Testimony of Martyrs Through the AgesDrew and Tim highlight the lives of powerful witnesses like Polycarp, Perpetua and Felicity, Ignatius of Antioch, William Tyndale, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Jim Elliott. Each story reminds us of the cost of discipleship and the unshakable hope found in Christ. Polycarp's famous words still echo across time: “Eighty and six years I have served Him, and He has done me no wrong. How can I blaspheme my King who saved me?” These voices form a “cloud of witnesses” that continues to inspire faith today.Martyrdom in the Modern WorldWhile many of us live in places of relative freedom, persecution and martyrdom are still very real in countries like Nigeria, China, and North Korea. Drew and Tim explore how the church often grows strongest in places where faith is tested most. They also reflect on what it looks like to stand boldly in contexts where persecution is more subtle—social, cultural, or ideological.Boldness Over FearOne of the key takeaways from Acts is that the disciples didn't pray for protection—they prayed for boldness. That same spirit is needed now. Whether facing public hostility, workplace pressure, or even the quiet temptation to compromise, believers today are called to live courageously and keep their eyes fixed on Jesus.Living as WitnessesThe stories of martyrs are not just historical records; they are ongoing testimonies that shape how we live as disciples in our own time. Drew and Tim challenge listeners to ask: What kind of legacy are we leaving? Are we living as bold witnesses, or letting fear and comfort dictate our choices?ConclusionThis conversation is both convicting and inspiring. The blood of the martyrs has indeed been the seed of the church, and their faith continues to call us higher. May we embrace boldness, honor their witness, and keep our eyes on Jesus in a world still desperate for His light.Get the most comfortable shirts we've ever worn!https://kingdomandwill.com/Use code: EYESONJESUS for 15% off Get all our links in one easy place! https://linktr.ee/eyesonjesuspodcastGet the Eyes on Jesus 90 Day Discernment Devotionalhttps://a.co/d/3v8963sJoin our Group on Facebook- Eyes on Jesus podcast community https://www.facebook.com/groups/eyesonjesuspodcastEmail feedback, questions or show topic ideas to eyesonjesuspodcast@outlook.comFor more information on Drew Barker: Follow Drew on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pastordrewbarkerDrew's church's website https://yes.online/For more information on Tim Ferrara: Get all his links in one place- to his social media, all 3 of his books, and more at https://linktr.ee/discerning_dad
After escaping one ambush in their hotel room and a second aboard the Buzzard Black, the crew of the Little Snail is finally preparing themselves for their climactic showdown with the deadly hitman, Genuine Sincere. They'll need the right location, the right gear, and the right magical protection. And then, of course, they'll need a little luck. This week on Perpetua: Sizzling Rivalry, Crashing Waves! 04 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.04] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] Genuine Sincere [NMGNS] Traits: Cold-Blooded, Bought, Veteran. Eagle-eyed Stats: DEX 10, INS 6, MIG 8, WLP 6 Attacks: Ancient Passikan Rifle Shot, Suppressive FIRE, COLD Snap, LIGHTNING Strikes Twice, A Shot in the DARK Special Abilities: Countershot, Reinforcements, Take to the Sky (Crisis!) In-Game Description: Former colleague of Uncle Nicky. Veteran hitman in the service of.... As far as I'm concerned, this is the first real boss fight of the game, even if you're jumping between both West and East campaigns. The Kalsi fight has a potential “hard mode,” but you can stop it from even happening at all based on your choices. Genuine Sincere, on the other hand, will keep sniping at you until you finally fight him. (Though I am curious if the game ever forces a traditional fight with him, or if you can complete the whole campaign with him occasionally taking a potshot through your window. Anyone test this out yet?) All of that is to say: Come in prepared! First of all, keep any elemental weaknesses in mind (like Elena's weakness to bolt) because four out of the five attacks Genuine has are elemental in nature. Worse: He's the first enemy who can actively MAKE YOU WEAK to an element. He can also debuff you in a number of different ways, so bring enough IP to Tonic your way through the fight if you need to. On top of all that he's a Villain and a Champion class enemy, so even if you try to grind to beat him, he's going to end up with a lot more HP than any one of your party members. Yikes. Oh, and did I mention, he isn't even alone? He starts the fight with a Hoodlum Mechanic [NMHMC] and a Gangster Killer [NMGKL] on his side, plus a (de)Activated BuilderBot [NMABB] that can be used against you if the Mechanic can get control of it. DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN. Starter Tip: As far as I can tell, you have three places you can confront Genuine in the city: The clock tower where he snipes you from as you enter (and when you're in the hotel.) The beach at Rose Shore (which is definitely the hardest, because of some enemies that can join from the sea). And one of the industrial buildings in Highrail. That last one is the hardest to setup, but BY FAR the easiest to win at. ESPECIALLY if you can manage to stop his “Reinforcements” ability to continually give him more Mechanics and Killers on his side!

HOUR TWO: Emma Southon explores forgotten women of the Empire. Julia, daughter of Augustus, served as a marital conduit for heirs (Agrippa, Tiberius) before being exiled for public affairs and later starved. Other profiles include British Queens Cartimandua and Boudica, entrepreneur Julia Felix, military family woman Sulpicia Lepidina, and Christian martyr Perpetua. 1802 ROMAN WOMEN
After being taken under the wing of Commodore Onyx, the crew of the Little Snail were brought up to date on the situation in Calstega Bay and beyond—learning for the first time details about a larger conflict between light and dark. But soon, they'll learn just how limited the protection of this “protective custody” is. As Genuine Sincere begins to pull tight his snare, will Elena, Jonathan, Nicky, and Veile escape the hotel, or will they find their destiny cut short? This week on Perpetua: Sizzling Rivalry, Crashing Waves! 03 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.04] Some Feedback [Page 15 of 18] CarlsSr But anyway speaking of cooking, I feel like I run out of ingredients with Nicky too much. Is there any way to get more besides traveling? Alukard83 Wow, a useful question from Carl, I never thought I'd see the day. Shouldn't this be its own thread though? CarlsSr They don't let me make threads on the forum for some reason. TheUnforgivenIII The fact that you're having problems is just more PROOF that this faq sucks. And so does this message board, I hope the site closes. Alukard83 You could always just do easy travel in a circle right outside a city where it's safest to try to get some extra ingredients. Btw why are you always so angry Unforgiven? Must be all that Metallica you listen to. Maybe try listening to some real music for a change, like Bauhaus. Though maybe for someone like you, you should try some BEGINNER stuff, like The Cult or Nine Inch Nails! XxZelgadyskXx I don't know the answer to this one Carl, but for quick questions like this you're always welcome to come hang out on the IRC channel! We're on DALnet! Oh, and I haven't used it yet but try Nicky's. We'll even let you start new conversation topics if you want n.n;;;; TheDiamondRanger What's an IR Channel? CarlsSr It's okay guys, I decided to just give Nicky the “Gathering” camp skill. Seems like that will work FriendofNei Wait, Carl, don't! I haven't had time to update the guide yet, but DON'T TAKE THAT SKILL I hope you keep more than one save file...

Many are the questions that run through the heads of the Little Snail's award-winning chefs as they are paraded through the streets of Calstega Bay. Some are quite philosophical: When is a victory a failure, and when might imprisonment be protection? Others are more mundane in nature: What is wrong with this Commodore, and how much trouble are we in? They will find answers to some of these questions, certainly, but some answers are only doors to new mysteries and new visions of the world… This week on Perpetua: Sizzling Rivalry, Crashing Waves! 02 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.04] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] Hoodlum Mechanic [NMHMC] Typical Traits: Boastful, Irritable, Proud, Strong Stats: DEX 6, INS 6, MIG 10, WLP 8 Attacks: Flash Orb, Heavy Wrench Special Abilities: Field Repair, Electroswing, Bad Temper In-Game Description: Mechanic for the Calstega Bay Cheetahs. You might read “mechanic” and think “brain, not brawn.” But the Cheetah Gang's mechanics are a bit of both. They have giant, electrified wrenches and they know how to use ‘em. That said, they aren't especially hard to hit, so if you're aggressive, you can knock ‘em out before they get the upper handon you. Starter Tip: Make sure to take them out (or at least disable them) before you try to focus on any automatons or constructs, otherwise you'll find that the damage you do gets repaired away! Gangster Killer [NMGKL] Typical Traits: Sneaky, Perceptive, Arrogant, Fast Stats: DEX 8, INS 6, MIG 6, WLP 8 Attacks: Knife Toss, Steel Dagger Special Abilities: None In-Game Description: Cold blooded killer for the Cheetah gang.. These guys are just about the most basic enemy in the game. They do one thing: Damage. They don't have a ton of HP, they don't have a bunch of special moves or spells. They just stab you as hard as they possibly can. Starter Tip: Not much to say, except hope that you don't get dazed by their Knife Toss! Activated BuilderBot [NMABB] Typical Traits: Sneaky, Perceptive, Arrogant, Fast Stats: DEX 8, INS 6, MIG 10, WLP 6 Attacks: Hammer Smash Special Abilities: Barrier Projector In-Game Description: A Calstega Bay Construction bot that has been modified by the Cheetahs. I didn't expect robots to pop up in this game, did you!? If you let a mechanic activate them, they can become a real problem. Not only do they have a really strong melee attack (that can slow you if it hits!) but their Barrier Projector can also prevent the party from fleeing. That said, if you get lucky, you can get one for yourself and use it not only in battles against high-value monsters that flee, but also in some Adventure Field Puzzles, and even in the boss fight at the end of Calstega Bay! Starter Tip: If you can get a BuiilderBot into crisis, it gains the unique “Exposed Core” debuff, losing its fire and ice resistance, but also turning all of its melee damage into Bolt.

Elena. Jonathan. Nicky. Veile. Four would-be adventurers, drawn together by circumstance yet bound by fate. At the helm of the Little Snail, they've driven full speed towards the glint of an assassin's scope, believing that sometimes, the safest place to hide from a killer is right under his nose. Whether or not it will work, this tactic has brought them to new sights, and a new city: Calstega Bay. This industrious burg was once ruled by a tyrannical limb of the Adelvys Dynasty, Grand Sonnerian royalty and masters of the Manakin, doll-like beings brought to life by powerful, clockwork magic. When the Manakin took their freedom, they turned the Duke's palace into a people's plaza, and transformed the city into a seaside sanctuary for the curious and creative. But today, the city faces a new threat. The Valte Empire. All across the world, in search of the power to halt the coming apocalypse, they have deployed their best, whether canny, competent, or cruel. Opal. Onyx. Cinnabar. Citrine. Zorite. Zircon. Alabaster. Agate. Spread across Perpetua in pairs, these marshals and commodores, these spymasters and scientists desperately seek an anti-apocalyptic solution, no matter the cost. And today, that cost is the people of Calstega Bay, newly occupied by this airborne stratocracy. Whether by iron sword or velvet glove, the Valte plunder the city, working alongside a hired killer on his own fated mission. As the crew of the Little Snail tries to maneuver through the world of politics and power, they may just end up in dark places, lit only by flashes of a fight older than this world—and perhaps, older than life itself. This week on Perpetua: Pt 1 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.04] Some Feedback [Page 14 of 18] TheDiamondRanger Is there a way to change classes in this one or is that only in the last game? FriendofNei Hey guys, sorry to derail but I really need some help on the Calstega Bay section. I have most of the big fights and everything stratted out already, but the one thing I'm struggling with is the big competition section (which you should make sure to skip if you want to do ANY shopping before things really kick off, by the way!) Is anyone able to reverse engineer how the judge calculations work? I thought it had to do with favored ingredients but I"m not sure. Anyone have any good recipes? Also, DiamondRanger, there isn't a previous game in this series, you must be thinking of something else. TheDiamondRanger Isn't this a sequel to KosmoKairosis in the same universe? As for recipes, I know how to make a hamburger, toast, and my I learned how to make scrambled eggs last week but other than that I don't cook. Alukard83 You should try using those weird Dragon Path ingredients if you have them, I think they give bonus points? TheDiamondRanger Wait does this game have cooking in it? Alukard83 . . . . . . . . . Are you even playing the game? Nicky IS A CHEF. TheDiamondRanger I thought NIcky Dashiel was a Dark Blade/Gourmet. And no I'm not playing, because I don't have enough trade in points. I'm hoping i get it for my birthday though. TheDiamondRanger [Deleted by mods. DO NOT DOUBLE POST.] Alukard83 Are you allowed to be on this website? AND WHAT DO YOU THINK GOURMET MEANS. TheDiamondRanger I asked my dad and he says it means a really expensive meal. Alukard83 You thought Nicky was an EXPENSIVE MEAL? CarlsSr Wait, how DO you make a hamburger in Perpetua?

Aboard the Argent Wind, Caoimhe Wake, Antistrophe Landrace, and Brontë Adelvys settle in for a peaceful journey east. But to live the life of the traveler is to dare fate, as all journeys are invitations to encounter the forgotten and the unexpected both. And for this group of adventurers, they find themselves faced with one and then the other: First, the sudden appearance of a childhood friend. Next, a rumbling of what might be amiss in the City of Iron Chains… This week on Perpetua: On Track to Iron Chains Pt. 03 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.03] Town Maps [TNMP] Cenn, City of Iron Chains [CNMP] The Ironclad Parade The creepy statues surrounding all of Cenn. Nothing happens if you walk through here when you first arrive, besides the occasional tremor. I thought there'd be ghosts to fight or something, but just these statues for now. Pilgrim's Quarter The western border of Cenn, home to hotels, campgrounds, and a general store where you can get IP and other basic items. This is where you arrive if you end up taking the train route to the city. Digsite West This used to be one of the two big dig sites in Cenn, where they were trying to pull up the weird object buried underground, plus all the strange relics and equipment they could find. That latter part is why it turned into a huge shopping zone, and once it was a shopping zone, it was also a food zone. Definitely stop in here before pushing too far in Cenn. Here's what you can buy there: Weapons Siegebreaker - 750 asta DEX + INS -【HR + 12】physical damage - Two-handed / Ranged Damage dealt by this weapon ignores Resistances. Spell Sever - 850 asta DEX + INS+1 -【HR + 4】dark - One-handed / Melee When you hit a creature with this weapon, if the attack had a single target, you may choose a single spell with a duration of Scene affecting the target and end its effects on that creature. Armor Archeologist's Boots - 900 Asta When your group makes a discovery while traveling, you may immediately gain 1 Fabula Point. Securibot Armor - martial 1250 11 Def / INS +1 Mdef / -3 initiative You have Immunity to earth and poison damage, but Vulnerability to bolt damage. Accessories Digsite Helmet - 700 Asta Grants Resistance to Physical damage. Broken after the third time physical damage is resisted. Other Strange Device - 2500 Asta Recovered from the digsite. Has a keyboard like a typewriter, attached to a darkened mirror. (I have NO idea what this is, but I bought it IMMEDIATELY) Castine's Moon The huge moon that was lifted out from the earth's crust. Only the top part of it is above ground, but that's still huge. I love when you can see it in the background! Before Caoimhe gets her mission, you can just walk on its surface and get some lore from some little shrines and the big temple in the middle. One thing I like is that Castine really does walk around it with various NPCs! It seems like it just randomly pulls in one of the other Cenn NPC models for him to hang out with. Digsite East The dig actually continues here. It's all locked down with security, probably because they're still actively digging.Travelers (and the party) have to go around. Believe it or not, you can actually do some low level grinding here! Groundbreak This is where the digging first started, and because of that it's become important to the city culturally. Both the Hexcloak office AND the City Hall are here. And PLEASE remember, you have to go to the latter to actually start the main quest here. YOUR GAME IS NOT BROKEN JUST BECAUSE THE HEXCLOAK OFFICE IS EMPTY. Seawalk Da beach. The most important thing is that you can play Beachminton here, which is a pretty stupid minigame but the prizes are great. Breeze Boulevard An elevated area filled with fancy houses. This is where the hoity-toity types of Cenn live. At first I thought this was weird, because it seems like this town shouldn't even have them, since Castine's priests seem to be the most important people. But if you talk to some of the NPCs in town, you can learn that before Castine showed up, the people who made the most money off the archeological dig (and the inventions that came out of it) got rich and wanted to live further away from (and higher up than) the dig sites. Sutcliffe Street The industrial district, where various engineers and blacksmiths and factory-runners try to reverse engineer the stuff that gets found in the digsite.
