[X] Beside the homes of the Singers, that its guardian may serve as their ally forever more

What does the vote look like? I would vastly prefer the old Gods option, but this is still better than the ship idea.
 
It's not just the Efreeti in that plane. :p There are also perfectly nice creatures like Baella.

In any case, this is something to poke at Bloodraven for. He'll be able to propose the most devastating course of action.
If we can use the heart to make a planar rift, we should do it in the noble quarters of the City of Brass.

Then watch as the Others have to fight full tilt against a barrage of Wishes being cast at them and the Sultan going on the war-path.

That would be both hilarious and a massive gamble, holy shit. We'd be hunted relentlessly after that.
 
Hmmm... @DragonParadox, if we got particularly powerful devils and demons and thoroughly cursed and warped them until they became the vats for fiendish blood, would that qualify as a source of Evil? I'm thinking a Cornugon for the devils and whatever the equivalent would be for demons. Maybe a Marilith.

It would but you would seriously have to watch out for leaking corruption. It would be sort of like a nuclear power plant, only with concentrated malice instead of radiation in case of a reactor breach.
 
Aand its a tie again.

We are having another contested vote as contested as raising Viserys with Tiamat's help, the face on the first Heart Tree, Tiamat's bargains, and Yss' boon over the Mallor's sacrifice.

Each of these votes got us something awesome. This is exciting!
 
Nice! Jorel is a real boy again. How does this affect Kyla's abilities as a Witch? He was her Familiar, after all.

Few things are more frustrating than having to redo work because a program crashed, or something similar, and you didn't save it beforehand. It mostly happens to me with spreadsheets now, but I've had it happen with a few papers I was writing back in school.
  1. She needs a new familiar but is otherwise fine He also has the potential to be a mage
  2. Thanks, it was annoying but luckily I remembered the gist of what I wanted to say.
 
Am I almost afraid to ask :V

What do we need industrial quantities of demon blood for?

Ok sure but they may only be able to build up a list, there's no reason to assume we have perfect knowledge and if something can for example entirely hide it's aura as far as the ritual is concerned it's a normal item and how would we know otherwise ourselves but through context or assumption like with the staff, it moved and was found with other magic so we know it is but if it had stayed still and was found at a flea market arguably it could just be an eccentric design.

If you want "Ritual didn't work therefore it must be an A, B or C" well I'm not sure we will or should get that.
My immediate reaction is to say "of course we should." We might not know why the spell failed, but we absolutely should know what can cause a spell to fail. when someone takes no damage from a fireball, we know there are a limited number of effects that can cause that to happen, and that then informs our choices in combat. Identify is precisely the same. Maybe there are some things it simply does not work upon, but knowledge of what those are can and absolutely should inform how we go about investigating a magical item.

@DragonParadox, can we have more information on how precisely our ritual differs from 3.5 identify? Also, can we detect what caster level the chest of blood is?

Pretty easily worked around, and even in the event of a "disaster" we can sacrifice all the mistakes. @DragonParadox, this isn't doing a very good job of dissuading us. :V

Valyrian Steel.

Duesal's Guide to Valyrian Steel

Fiendish blood is used to quench the steel during forging.
 
I don't really have the time for a long campaign, and i figure the battle is almost over anyway, but i might as well make my case.

The ship is, simply put, obsolete, and becoming more and more obsolete each turn. With our teleport and shadow tower, and dragons, the age of ships is almost over, adding the Dryad to it would just make it another mathom, "Look at that ship, its really cool" and then we wont hear from it for a hundred updates until its shows up again and we go "oh yeah, we had a really cool ship, it still exists".
It would take time away from our companions, of which we have too many to properly interact with, The only way i can see of properly making it relevant again would be to turn it into a spelljammer, and i dont think azel's old, shriveled heart could take it.

Also, the thing has no synergy with everything else we are doing, our merchant ships dont need a warship with them, our raider are already settled and unless we give the ship to moonsong or Salladdhor, we dont have an experienced crew to man it. What would we do with it? pleasure barge? wandering party? it would again consume time for something we dont really need.

The other options do have great synergy, they allow the dryad to work on the background to expand our influence while we do our thing, placing her with the singers would give us access to tame fey, while reinforcing the children's connection to nature. Giving her to the old gods might give us access to templates, and another friendly court we can call upon, for trade, recruitment and defense.
