Huh.
That just happened.

Hey, isn't that more powerful than Mammon's avatar was..?
:V

*content sigh*
I'm just glad we took this sort of resource from Ymeri, even though he was imprisoned awhile now without doing anything.
Not sure if she can easily resurrect him, but it's still a damper on how much the fuck can act for some time.



[X] Split up
-[X] Viserys will Bloodwish a Telepathic Bond with everyone, after that he'll use his page of Spell Knowledge for Spontaneous Search on members of the group who'll be looking through the mansion. Finally, Viserys will cast Find the Path spell to the remains of N'Gath and restore his Charisma damage with Orb of Mental Renewal.
-[X] Rina and Teana question the Wraith, prioritising learning where exactly are the valuables (i.e lore, artifacts, or plain money) inside the mansion, the exact locations of traps and ways to disarm them.
--[X] Teana will also send off three of her Shadow copies into the mansion for searching.

Teana and Zherys both have Spontaneous Search PoSK as well, so they can all chip in to help loot the place to the bedrock.
 
What do ya'll think about Teana finally retraining her Blood Warding feat? It's something she hasn't used in a long while and isn't likely to ever use again.

Any more additions, anyone?
Any specific questions to ask the Wraith, maybe?

We have swift concentration so it should probably only be one casting really, especially with Varys to hold concentration too but we'll see.

Here's what I have so far for Teana's level up. This level in Shadowcraft Mage lets her use Silent Image + Heighten Spell to mimic the effects of the various Shadow Conjuration/Evocation spells, but better, because her version is much more effective if successfully disbelieved. That gives her an opportunity to retrain a couple spells in addition to learning new ones.

Heart of Earth is one of our go to spells for anyone capable of casting it, and one I'm sure Teana would appreciate given her desire to not die. Same goes for Celerity. Greater Invisibility would be great, too, but she already knows the regular Invisibility spell and can get by with scrolls should she need to.

Mirage Arcana is a neat utility spell, especially for Teana who has a sky high save DC for her Illusion spells. It's also a great training aid for her students, since she can use it to create virtually any scenario for them to practice within.

Friend to Foe is a pure combat spell, one that can really fuck up a lot of enemies in a nice sized area.

There are a ton of options for her new 6th level spell, from classics like Disintegrate to those more up her alley such as Permanent Image. I was thinking about something with a bit more utility, though, which would fit to her role as an instructor. Ruby Ray of Reversal, for example, is helpful for any number of situations and could get a lot of use in the Shadow Tower undoing student mistakes. Baleful Teleport's utility is unquestionable, but I can't get past the thought of Teana using it to send unruly students to time out.

I also thought about maybe having her learn Telethapy and retrain her Blood Warding feat to Mindsight. Not only is it an amazing combo in and out of combat, it would give her even more of an air of omniscience within the Shadow Tower.

Thoughts and suggestions?

[] Teana Level Up
-[] Class: +1 Shadowcraft Mage

@DragonParadox

1. Can we use part of the corpse of a trophy?
2. Do you have the magic items of both N'gath and the hapless wraith written up for next update?
3. Can we collect the bones of all the burned to toss to the Fungus Forge?
4. Now that her herald is slain, apparently a CR 23 herald, how much power did that just cost Ymeri?

Hm.

You know I never thought of it that way, but in a very real sense Rina embodies hope for a brighter future for the multiverse.

To show that even the darkest and coldest reaches need not be placed of wickedness and malice.

Ya have me hooked right there with this.
Can't go wrong by mimicking the best Dragon-Ninja-Assasin-Queen. :V

I'll add the plan to the vote once ye'r done.

@Duesal, again, how many people we need to vote on level-ups for..?
 
@Goldfish What about Shadow Endurance? Unparalleled trickery and versatility, along with warding such against pesky overwhelming spell effects or too-troublesome foes. Finally, keeps our dear shadow mage as an active contributor in the fight for at least one turn longer and is thematic as all hell. Lasts hours/level.

As an aside, love 'IT WAS ACTUALLY A DOOMBOT' effects. Particularly for squishy sorcerers that want to keep up a veneer.

... @egoo, if we're against the clock, Spontaneous Search is pretty damn suboptimal. It has a duration of one round and it's restricted to a 20 ft. radius. Just use Discern Location.

Off the top of my head, Relath, Dirriz, Roger, Jeyne, Kennos, Anya, and Shara

We may have voted on Kennos or Roger already but I don't recall.

...Ye, fair.
I tend to forget timing of spells affecting reality beyond the time it takes to prepare.

No, don't remove it. Spontaneous Search is amazing. Not to find N'Gath's remains, but to find stuff of value. It allows you to Search everything within a 20 foot radius instantly. That's a huge area and would include the levels below and above your position. It also tells you where traps are.

With three different people casting it, they should be able to form a full catalog of the entire mansion in a minute or less.

Sure, keep Spontaneous Search, but if @egoo's concern over the corpse vanishing is legitimate then I want our opening move to be Discern Location to track it down ASAP. After that we can use Spontaneous Search to our heart's content.

... I swear to god this thing better not have a Mind Blank item.

EDIT: Also we're talking about searching a mansion. Volantis mansions are pretty damn huge. I think it'd take a bit longer than a minute.

If it's dead the Mind Blank shouldn't work on it any more. The Efreeti mage that we couldn't find during the raid last month never died, he just lost his soul. The body still lived, however, and was eventually possessed by his Familiar.

Wow, that is a really neat spell I haven't seen before. Although it would still be useful for Teana, it isn't nearly as helpful for her as it would be for other mages due to two of her special abilities.
  • Sacrifice Transposition (Su): When Teana would be brought to below 0 hit points, and she has at least one active Shadow Trace, she may switch places with the Trace and negate the damage from that attack or effect as an Immediate Action, at the cost of that trace being dismissed as if it were destroyed. She can use this ability once a round.
  • Shadow-Traces (Su): At will Teana may create three independent semi-real copies of herself as an Immediate Action. Shadow traces act on Teana's initiative and each has half her Hit Points. Traces possess Teana's skills in full and have duplicates of her equipment, but such equipment is semi-real: weapons disarmed from a Trace vanish after 1 round and ammunition fired by a Trace vanishes after use. If any of the Traces are reduced to 0 Hit Points it is destroyed. Destroyed Trace cannot be recreated unless all of the Traces are dismissed or destroyed. If all Traces are destroyed, Teana is Staggered for 1 round and she cannot create more Traces for 24 hours; otherwise, they last until the end of combat or until the creature takes a Full-Round Action to dismiss them.
