@One Autumn Leaf this was the best I could do, unfortunately we don't have any Daemons on hand, nor do we have Undead outside of that one Lyseni Lich who we're going to toss to the Orphne Court to make a new Unravelling.

I do think it's worth adding the Succubus and the Harvester Devil and ideally waiting to grab some Vampire, Barghest and similar sacrifices for the Staff.

We only get the one upgrade so I think we should be thorough in aligning the "feeding" aspect as strongly as possible.

We also use Staff all the time and it's 1/3 charges right now iirc.
Better charge it up before we go dealing with Tiamat, ye?

We have time, the time it would take is miniscule and "all the time" isn't even an exaggeration, it's just false, you can count the occassions on the spines of a single dorsal fin.

Also 2 of the things I mentioned are in the Larder right now.

I don't really mind adding those 2 from Larder (aside drom some inefficiency, we may have to summon indiscriminately for some Daemons to feed Old Gods up the way Larder goes down so far).

Comparatively to how rarely we get to recharge the Staff though?
Which we can power-up only through Yss so far?
Yes, we use it all the time compared to once-a-month (at best, cnd certainly not after this batch of funnelings) recharges.

I think @Duesal had some of the right of it calling me out on "wasting" one charge not too long ago on summoning that Familiar-in-Efreet's-body.
 
@Duesal, something like this? To avoid capture in the first round, it will need to beat the DC 36 Fortitude save with a roll of 15+, the DC 32 Will save Baleful Shadow Transmutation with a roll of 19+, the Chains of Light DC 24 Reflex save with a roll of 6+, and somehow avoid Lya's +33 Ranged Touch Attack bonus with her Amber Sarcophagus which doesn't allow a save. If it takes two or more points of Wisdom damage from Vee's Rain of Roses when it appears, the Advodaza will need a Nat 20 to resist Teana's spell.

-[] Plan Advodaza!Get
--[] The round before the Advodaza is Summoned, Viserys casts Extended True Casting via his Blessing of Fervor Persistomancy buff. In addition to normal combat spell buffs, he will also be using Arcane Spellsurge and Battlemagic Perception.
---[] He uses Wild Arcana to duplicate Spell Enhancer as a Swift Action, then targets the Devil with a Mythic Potent Baleful Polymorph spell Heightened to 9th level while
affected by a Harmonic Chorus spell cast by Lya as he cancels a Moment of Greatness spell, raising the spell's effective caster level to 26th (38th for the purpose of overcoming Spell Resistance) and its Fortitude save DC to 36.
--[] The round before the Advodaza is Summoned, Lya casts Extended True Strike via her Blessing of Fervor Persistomancy buff and activates her Bead of Karma. In addition to her normal combat spell buffs, she also uses Battlemagic Perception and sets her Channel Vigor buff to the "Mind" setting for another +4 Ranged Attack bonus.
---[] Lya casts Assay Spell Resistance, then targets the Devil with an Amber Sarcophagus spell using Wild Arcana (+33 Ranged Attack Bonus, caster level 18th, or 28th to overcome SR).

--[] Teana casts Assay Spell Resistance, then targets the Devil with a Piercing Baleful Shadow Transmutation spell (16th caster level, 26th to overcome SR) with a Will save DC of 32.

--[] Dany targets the Devil with Chains of Light (Reflex save DC 24). She uses her Battlemagic Perception buff to Counterspell anything it attempts to cast as a Free Action and uses Alter Fortune as an Immediate Action if Viserys' attempt to Turtle the Devil fails.
--[] Vee activates her Bead of Karma before the Devil is Summoned and casts Rain of Roses in the Summoning Circle before it arrives.
---[] She targets the Devil with Pronouncement of Fate and uses her Alter Fortune spell if Teana's spell fails to affect the Devil.

Ah, I truly love when a good "FFFFFFUCK YOU!"-plan comes together.
Thank you Goldfish.

now, to pray to the dice gods to actually summon the fuck
 
A small question about the setting, are Deep dragons a thing in this quest? Asking because they present an interesting opportunity to research non-ilithid Psionics and if they function differently. Also Deep dragons could have theoretically survived the waning of magic by burying extremely deeply into the earth through the Underdark and hibernating, as more ancient examples of their species are want to do. If not on Planetos then in the Plane of Earth or some other plane with alot of spare digging room

Yes, but we'd have to brave the Underdark to find any Deep Dragons, and none of us want to have anything to do with Drow civilization until most of the surface is firmly under our control.

This is a fair and rational statement, but I'm still really excited for our inevitable meetings with our more brainy cousins!

In fairness I'm excited for Underdark exploration when we can afford to do so. The Drow are going to be a very fun enemy.
I've seen these mentioned several times but never what exactly they are. Just "Make building easy". The are listed as strategic assets but nowhere what they do exactly. Couldn't find anything d&d under that name either.
They're a custom tool.
Titan's Tools

Description: This set of arcane instruments wrought of Shaitan hands in their sunless realm allow the wielder to work stone and earth as the gods themselves might. Four there are: the eye of shifting emerald wrought by which any stone can be transmuted to another, the gloves to coax it into any shape one might desire, the rod of gold and silver wrought that one might raise it where there is none, and the towel to spread earth over it like a cloak.

Ability: Greater Stone Metamorphosis, Greater Stone Shape, Wall of Stone, Move Earth at will

Caster Level: Varies
We use them for megaprojects, like roads, bridges, fortresses, housing, etc.

They can build any stone structure in basically no time at all, though it takes a bit of work to refine said structure.
 
Thanks! I guess I should have looked harder. I did a thread search but only found references to their existence not a blurb in what they are. Also, the move earth link is broken.
 
@Duesal, just so that it isn't forgotten in the heat of things - mind adding a note about making Divine Servant Snek-Researcher Flescrafter(s) out of the captured Pridespawn Sorcerers?

Ya'll argued with me about this shite, now it's my turn to be annoying :drevil:

I would really prefer the Ghole mage here.

It's a simple creature, it eats the dead, uses magic to restore the corpses and eats them again.
That's exactly the kind of spell-fuelled cheese we like to use.

Have you confirmed with DP that Yss is willing to change his own servants like that?

Alright.

If there are no further objections I'll add it in.
 
Okay I am a bit confused. Is @Azel co QM again. if he is then have we talked about the interpretation of mindblank in the conclave, because people seemed to disagreed with it and i just want to make sure we are on the same page regarding how mind blank works vis-a-vis the way how the clerics divined around it.
Would appreciate the clarification, because it is good to has out any disagreement when not in a contentious vote.
