[X] Use miracles to free as many of the remaining crew as you can
Most of the votes seem a little... Superfluous. Viserys is a clever enough chap.

And there's no point in rushing the booking when we have the Orphene cloak. Its not something I would rush either way.
 
The body is the priority, if any petty fiend is going to posses it, it's going to be our petty fiend.
I want that body as reagents for Qyburn to implant a seeker consciousness or whatever else he finds convenient.
.. he is going to implant himself isn't he? Can't say I disagree with him
 
He had a Prc swearing his soul to the sultan, let us be quickly with the bookening please.
Personally causing the sultan to expend enough divine power to retrieve his soul from the cloak would be a win on it's own. Even if he could do it blind.

Something a real god would have difficulty with.

Edit:
Eh, who am I kidding.
 
Is the book really any safer? The only difference in the binding is that the book leaves the soul in timeless stasis. That doesn't seem like the kind of thing that'd slow down anyone strong enough to remotely steal a trapped soul.
Doesn't Mind Blank prevent soul-calling? That's the problem we've got with the petty Asura in spite of having the corpse of its Asurendra master and having access to its name.

Just put the book in Viserys' cloak and it will always be under Mind Blank.

A salient enough point. How about putting it in a lead box @Deliste? Even he shouldn't be able to get it back if he can't find it.

Unless @DragonParadox would like to out this particular concern to bed...?

Edit:
@Duesal why turn it into a book immediately at all if it's safe in the cloak?

The point was to get intel quickly. I want to know what the Efreeti are after and how they planned to take it. The Valyrian Steel Spikes was just an educated guess on our part.
 
Turn it into a book right now, look for the Fiends name and summon it.
That body has a mind blank. Can we even summon someone wearing one of those?

The body isn't a threat right now, it's additional profit. Chasing it is risking the loss of some or all of our current winnings. That's a bad bet, even though that loot is valuable.

I'm sure we can make it up by having our agents in the CoB raid his private supply caches or something.
 
Where would the body go? Would red

Yeah, read that right after posting.
The only thing that could put our current winnings at risk is.. the body.

What our friends want to do right now is saving the lives of slaves, letting the most powerful enemy run on our plane is the greatest risk.

Mindblank protects against Mind affecting spells and effects ass well as divination spells and effects. Summoning a creature with its true name is neither of those things so I dont see why not?

That is...

A VERY inefficient way to get that information.

:facepalm:

Use a divination. I don't want to sit on our butt paging through what the efreeti had for breakfast this morning when were in the middle of a death zone.

Edit: your not summoning the body like that. You might not even be able to summon the fiend out of a vessel.

[X] Plan Wrapping It Up
-[X] If he hasn't already done so, Viserys secures the Soul Trapped Efreeti mage in his cloak.
-[X] Ask Malarys and Lya to quickly begin coordinating with the Shaitan ship captains to bring the Efreeti vessels under control, performing what damage control they can and readying them to Plane Shift. If they have a secure berth we can temporarily transport the ships to on the Plane of Earth, ask them to Plane Shift them there so that we can sort through them more thoroughly without the threat of reinforcements arriving or the apporaching ash storm. If a location is not available, we will instead transport them to the Plane of Air for now.
--[X] While the others arrange our departure, Viserys will briefly visit each ship and use a Miracle spell to free the slaves on board, first exhausting his 8th level spell slots via Versatile Spellcasting before using 9th level slots. Before he begins freeing them, he will first Blood Wish a Mage's Decree spell, telling everyone to lay down their arms and surrender once their collars are removed.
--[X] Freed slaves will be given an opportunity to join us or the Shaitan after we are safely away from Valyria. Ships to damaged to travel on their own will be Plane Shifted by Viserys, should it prove necessary.
--[X] Pass the word among the raiders and our allies to be on the lookout for the possessed mage. It cannot have gone far.

-[X] Use an AMF where there are large numbers of them in one place in case we need miracles for something else.
 
@DragonParadox we may need a ruling on this one. Is it possible to summon a possessed body if we know the true name of the devil inhabiting it? Or would that just rip the soul out of the body and create a new chassis for the creature to be in?

You realize we have spells we've used to quickly read these books, right? We don't mindlessly read every page of the Tome of the Cabal Devil, for example.
