Is the restraining attack worth all that amount of extra suffering the earth elemental can take?I'd just build a large bonfire (oil + Prestidigitation on a bunch of flammable material) instead of Wall of Fire, and ask the DM what you can do to maximize the chance of getting a salamander instead of a regular elemental. Take the elemental and enjoy it, or bargain for one of the Xanathar's demon summoning spells if you prefer that flavor, but leave Conjure Animals to the animal specialists (druid and ranger).Ĭould you please elaborate on that? Looking at the salamander out of curiosity made me think of an idea (salamander and wall of fire), but this probably needs two casters (or high level play/scroll for planar binding to be worth it?), so I am guessing there is more that I don't see.Įdit: I am mostly trying to compare the salamander against an earth elemental, since they both don't have the restrain/grapple/prone immunities that we could probably try to ''exploit'' with the other types of elementals. I would recommend your DM not allow this option, so you won't be tempted by it. I do see potential balance issues with this one, as in it could change the whole feel of the game. two CR 2 Giant Constrictor Snakes, and unlike the elemental spells you can do it during combat with only one action. Yes, conjuring 16 wolves is a strong play, as is e.g. A spell that is more flavorful to a book-learned, vampire-like shadow sorcerer might be more fitting than one that comes first in terms of raw power.Conjure Animals is a very strong pick, especially for a Sorcerer who can use Flexible Casting to get lots of 5th level slots. I am also not (only) looking for battle prowess. Thematically it might also be fitting, but I don't want to swarm our battlefield with even more combatants, and I guess for many tasks concerning utility an summoned elemental is more appropriate. Thank you for your input! What would you say to Conjure Animals? I edited my original post to include that as well. A spell that is more flavorful to a book-learned, vampire-like shadow sorcerer might be more fitting than one that comes first in terms of raw power. The sorcerer list is indeed pretty restricted and it's nice that your DM is doing this.Thank you for your input! What would you say to Conjure Animals? I edited my original post to include that as well. Conjure Minor Elementals can be nice if you abuse certain combinations (Magma Mephits with Heat Metal against armor-wearing enemies), but Conjure Elemental is pretty good no matter which elemental you get (although if you can get a Salamander it's even better) and it also upcasts relatively well (CR 6 Invisible Stalker). I'd pick Conjure Elemental because it's beefier and more fun. Conjured Elementals also seem to be more useful in terms of utility, though the consensus seems to be, that Conjure Animals is the superior spell in terms of combat power.Īt least I guess that even large sharks won't be able to pull a sailing ship when winds are low ) I'm afraid this would slow our combat down even more. I understand, however, that Conjure Animals is more about summoning larger amounts of creatures. As my char has a vampire like vibe, summoning wolves and so on might be thematically also fitting. CE is 1 Minute.Īnd on another note: do you see any unbalancing factors letting a sorcerer call in elementals? I'm all for balancing, but sometimes I think the sorcerers spell list is unnecessarily restricted.ĮDIT: Conjure Animals might also be an option, if I ask nicely. for calling an air elemental to hurry your sailing ship across). ![]() ![]() But the CE spell lets you pick the element, which seems more useful for utility reasons (e.g. I'm playing a shadow sorcerer (soon attaining lvl 9), and my DM might let me pick one of those two cross-class spells, because they are thematically fitting with my char background (and my char happens to speak Primordial as well).Īs I see it, the CME spell is “safer“ because they don't turn on you if you loose concentration.

Sodikoff said landlords do not understand the gravity of the coronavirus shutdown and how hard it’s hit those in the hospitality industry, who are already operating with razor-thin margins. Sodikoff told Eater he “wasn’t able to come to an agreement with the property’s landlord that would make sense for the bar and coffee shop to remain as tenants.” Sodikoff, the CEO of Hogsalt Hospitality, also owns Green Street Smoked Meats, Au Cheval and Gilt Bar.Ī Clipper staffer confirmed to Block Club in an email that “unfortunately” the bar will close.Įater Chicago first reported the closure.

With the state at 70% below normal for total precipitation this water year, forecasters warn California residents to be vigilant as the state enters fire season. While the grounding of the SuperTanker is a loss to the firefighting community, Sanchez said Cal Fire maintains a large firefighting fleet and will still be able to aggressively attack fires. “The option to sell the aircraft as freighter has been in part driven by the COVID-19 crisis, which has led to a significant increase in value for freighter aircraft,” said the firm. The economics under the company’s current federal ‘call when needed’ contract are such that the investment will take longer to realize profitability than previously expected.”Īlterna said it is pursuing alternative business streams for the SuperTanker, including using it as a freighter to carry large amounts of cargo during the Covid-19 pandemic. “However, the technology investment to upgrade the drop … system and the 747-400 aircraft was very significant. “Over the past three years, GSTS (Global Supertanker Services) has made enormous strides in making the 19,000-gallon SuperTanker a valuable tool in the arsenal of the USFS, CAL FIRE and numerous states, and is operationally cash flow positive,” said Roger Miller, managing director of Alterna Capital Partners LLC, in a news release.

We are willing to pay WedgeWood $1,000 for the effort they have put into planning our cancelled events, but we are asking for the rest, about $2,500, refunded. We feel that during this pandemic, where incomes are tight and uncertain, that we should be able to get at least a partial refund from WedgeWood after two wedding cancellations. They have refused us a refund and have said that the only way the $3,500 paid would be used is if we rescheduled with them. We have expressed this concern to WedgeWood and because we no longer want to host an event, have asked for a refund. With no indication when COVID pandemic will end, my wife and I have decided it best to not host a wedding for the safety of our loved ones and the community as a whole. WedgeWood has offered us a chance to reschedule but they will not issue a refund for what we have paid. At this point, my wife and I have paid WedgeWood about $3,500 for a wedding that has not happened. There was no indication that WedgeWood would be able to host a wedding on January 16th, 2021. On November 27th, 2020, WedgeWood Weddings called us and together, my wife and I along with WedgeWood Weddings decided it was best to cancel the January 16th, 2021 wedding as the COVID cases in the area had spiked and current regulations was barring WedgeWood from hosting weddings. During this rescheduling, we added a few more people to our guest list and paid WedgeWood another $500 so we were 50% paid on our new wedding date. My wife and I rescheduled with WedgeWood to have the wedding on January 16th, 2021, thinking that the COVID pandemic would not last long. WedgeWood offered to refund 50% of what we had paid and apply the other 50% to a rescheduled date. On March 17th, 2020, the COVID pandemic hit and the wedding had to be cancelled.

My wife and I first contacted WedgeWood Weddings in November 2019. The connection to the past is mediated by “imaginative investment, projection, and creation.” 8 The need for memories of the Tower shooting qualifies it as a cultural trauma, as it involves a contested process relating to its interpretation as an outcome of a particular kind of gun culture and, ultimately, of U.S. Thus, postmemory expands beyond descendants or family members, involving affiliated contemporaries and generations who recall the past trauma by means of stories, images, and observations. 7 The notion of postmemory refers to constituted memories by those who did not experience the actual traumatic event. The chronic recollections and stories display a return of traumatic knowledge, which Marianne Hirsch characterizes as postmemory. For some, just seeing the visible landmark, the 307-foot UT Tower, may trigger memories, not to mention hearing the news that Campus Carry law would come into effect on the very day of the 50th year anniversary of the shooting. Whenever something happens that reminds of the event, stories about the past resurface. I met various people who told stories about how the shooting affected the community-people who had friends or neighbors living in town when the shooting happened, or who knew people whose relatives had witnessed the actual massacre. 6 I was struck by the abiding aftershocks of the Tower shooting in the everyday lives of Austinites. I learned about the novel’s role as an ameliorative narrative for the community in coming to terms with this cultural trauma during my visits to Austin in 20. 4 The reference to this particular song is connected to an actual memory by a witness who recalls the song playing on the radio at the time Whitman began shooting from the Tower, and gives an example of how the novel is shaped in relation to memories and imagery of the mass shooting. The song playing in her head is “Monday, Monday” by The Mamas & the Papas, which hit the top of the charts in 1966. Just as she stops hoping for rescue, two young men heroically come to her aid. She has been lying on the concrete in a puddle of her own blood, terrified by the prospect that the sniper might be looking at her through his scope. 3 The character in the epigraph is the novel’s protagonist, Shelly Maddox, who has been hit by a bullet. 2 The perpetrator Charles Whitman, a former Marine and a student at UT, killed 14 people and wounded 32 others in a 96-minute shooting spree. history because of its wide media coverage. The recounted shooting is based on one of the first and most notorious mass shootings by a single individual in U.S. gun culture.Įlizabeth Crook’s novel Monday, Monday (2014) opens with a massacre on the first Monday of August in 1966, with a gunman shooting pedestrians from the observation deck of the Main Building Tower at The University of Texas at Austin. How are these figures highlighted in the narratives? What cultural values and concerns relating to mass shootings as traumatizing experiences does the gendered imagery reveal? An analysis of gendered heroes, victims, and survivors brings perspectives on the pervasive cultural mode in which the collective trauma of mass shooting is processed within U.S. The chapter focuses on the gendered figures of heroes, victims, and survivors in constituting the collective trauma that emerges as a result of a cultural crisis. The narratives reify a particular imagery that shapes the collective trauma and its affective resonance. The chapter takes a closer look at the KTBC special news report aired immediately after the shooting, and two narratives: Elizabeth’s Crook’s novel Monday, Monday (2014) and Keith Maitland’s animated documentary film Tower (2016), created in response to a collective need for commemoration several decades later. ![]() In this framing, trauma is a product of history and politics, and subject to reinterpretation. Drawing from theorization of cultural trauma and trauma cultures after World War II, this chapter explores the mediation and narrativization of the Tower shooting as a cultural trauma.
