Smacking Irabeth -Act II spoilers-

[Kuromiya]

Just wondering if there are any consequences for cracking Iraebth in her stupid face, by "Surrendering to the Demon" during the pre-Drezen council scene. Specifically, will this lock me into, or out of, any specific paths with the Queen, amd/or with Mythic Paths?

Reason I ask is because the dialogue implies that the Queen is thinking *something* if you give Irabeth a good, hard punch, and I'm wondering if that *something* involves, say, firing me, or not sleeping with me at some point 100 hours of playtime from now. I tried a couple of the other resolution options, and to be perfectly frank, the Demon one seems both the most appropriate, and the most satisfying, given the situation.

I'm honestly not sure how Irabeth got to where she is; a commander breaking like that after one bad situation should never have made it out of OCS, let alone been given command of a Crusader unit tasked with fighting literal demons. Highly disappointed in her, and while I wish her all the best in her future endeavors, it's obvious she's not cut out for the job she's been assigned.

A. Don't think so

Firing you -> No
Not sleeping with you -> No idea but you're surely lowering your chances :P

B. She broke down after a few days in the Cube. Anyone would. And I'm not being 'nice'. People break and playing fleshcrafter's newest toy is where anyone would break.

Edit: And btw that 'One bad situation' I think Regill says he's never seen horrors like these or something of the sort. So as a Hell Knight who expects results and efficiency and people to keep it together and not whine... I gave Irabeth a brake and told her to take her time.

She didn't spend days in the Cube. She spent a little less than one day getting tickle-tortured by mook monsters my Ulfen barbarian can one-shot.

*At worst*, it was the equivalent of about six hours with the Tall Man from Phantasm. And again, she's a -paladin-, ostensibly in charge of -elite Crusader knights- who've been fighting on the front lines against demons for a century. If you can't deal with six hours of Phantasm without turning section 8, then you don't belong on the front lines against demons in ANY capacity, let alone the one she was in. You certainly don't deserve to be a Paladin, much less a Paladin-Commander.

Again, nothing but love for Irabeth. I'd be happy to write her a fine letter of recommendation to any posting, anywhere in Golarion that is not the Worldwound. But she's lucky I've got nothing but love for her, as if someone I DIDN'T like pulled that blue falcon crap in the middle of a strategy meeting, I'd have handed her over to the Hellknights.

Very few things can lock you out of the romance just don’t do a bunch of them. You will be fine if all you did was punch her. Maybe may have to give up that artifact to equal it out.

Still the single worse thing you can do and will lock you out is trying to unleash the swarm on drezden. Also there’s a moment in the list chapel where you could of threatened the soldiers that’s a negative as well.

Also beating the orc won’t lock you out of any mythic paths.

Nah. Gets a total walk. Character wise, shes been constantly dealing with plenty for a long time. No shame in cracking and as mentioned above, I think she's got grounds for it. Not ideal but hey... Heroes can break as well.
