Quite the opposite really, my mouth basically never comes into contact with anyone. But if we keep getting new global pandemics every couple of years chances are good that at least one of them will be airborne like COVID.

Symonne began a prayer to the Emperor under her breath while she calculated the fuel and supply usage for the trip ahead. The prayer helped keep her mind off the horrors that lurked in the Warp, and ever since her first disastrous voyage she had something of a compulsion about quadruple-checking consumables.

Had my first personal COVID scare earlier this week. Picked up a persistent sore throat out of nowhere, which sure enough was on the list of symptoms. No fever or loss of taste/smell but in a bit of paranoid panic I picked up a bunch of home tests after work.

Two days and two tests later I still show as negative. I'm sure the home 15-minute tests have higher error rates than a proper PCR screen, but odds are I'm in the clear.

No objections. A nice even force.

Leaning towards 3 and 5 respectively. Having punch is good, but if we come across hostile attack craft we will want to make damn sure that we (and our bombers) are adequately protected.

Six isn't all that much greater than five, anyway.

"No objections, my lord."

In truth she was rather pleased; if the dig took as long as the "humble diplomat" implied, she would have time to make inquiries on the other tasks and perhaps lay some groundwork towards acquiring additional vessels. The reward, smaller though it may be, would go a long way towards actually affording such things as well.

To be fair they do have gear for the good not-as-evil space elves, so it shouldn't be too difficult to make a substitute.

More fire plane ideas:

Extremely spicy peppers that deal damage when consumed (CON save reduces) but allow the consumer to breathe fire as an attack. Probably not much use in the Plane of Fire but the peppers can be brought back to the party's normal world.
A settlement of friendly fire elementals set up as a tourist attraction: gambling, trading, taverns with performances, all that stuff.
A very miserable white dragon who will do just about anything for a ticket off the plane.
The remnants of an old crusade who thought they were marching into the Infernal planes but took the wrong portal. As they were expecting fire and brimstone anyway, they've been marching around for years smashing up everything they can find.
