Thinking about that now. We don't really have any good way to quickly set up a good trap, and none of our people in this mission keep a spare Undead servitor in their Handy Haversack for emergencies, such as when we need one to serve as a detonator for a bomb.

I'm just leaving toward destroying it thoroughly.

It needs to be destroyed to the point it can't be make Whole'd again nor they can Touch of History the Ashes.

I'd rather just transport it elsewhere. We need to be able to 3d print houses on demand I'm realizing.

I think this should do it.

-[] Tyene will quickly set up one of the large explosive bombs (shown HERE) she carries in her Bag of Greed, along with 50 vials of Alchemist's Fire gathered from her fellows, in a location in the house which should hopefully insure its destruction upon detonation.
-[] Teana will use Mirage Arcana to fill the interior of the safehouse with the image of impenetrable darkness, as if it were under the effects of a Mage's Private Sanctum spell. This will last for up to 17 hours after the group's departure.
--[] She will leave one of her Shadow-Trace duplicates hidden in the safehouse when the group departs. It will detonate the bomb at the first sign of enemies entering the safehouse, or when the Mirage Arcana illusion is about to end, whichever comes first.

Is there some way we can use the delayed Metamagic? We can set up a nasty spell for them to walk into if we do.
Actually, we received several Metamagic Rods of Delay Spell (lesser and standard) this month, but the events of this interlude series are currently taking place before they were finished. I was just thinking about the shenanigans we could get up to with them last night.

Delayed SOTD sounds like more fun than people should be allowed to have. The shenanigans we can get up to with it sound amazing.

We can't quite pull that off yet, at least not without using Ancestral Awakening to temporarily learn the actual Delay Spell Metamagic. The standard rods cap out at 6th level spells and the lesser at 3rd.

That still leaves a lot of options, though. Delayed Fireballs, Delayed Fire Brands, Delayed Control Winds ( :evil: , hello Surprise!Tornado), etc.

Is there anything else we can throw into the safehouse? I am not sure 20d6 will kill something at malarys challenge rating. Symbol perhaps? Insanity could be really tasty if a devil Leroy's out into the streets for example.

It also might be worth putting sacks and robes over the illusionary doubles given the prevalence of true seeing.

Explosive runes maybe? Can Teana cast spells through her shadow traces?

Not really. The people we have on this task only have so many ways available to them to trap the safehouse, and spells like the various Symbol of X effects take 10 minutes to cast. That's too long to linger, even if we did have access to it. They need to get out of the house ASAP.

The only way someone will see through the Mirage Arcana illusion is if they actually enter the house. Unless they have a Crystal Ball with True Seeing, in which case the Illusion is worthless anyway.

Nope. The closest thing we have is Tyene's Fire Seeds spell which can be used as remote controlled fire bombs. They're pretty weak, though, and she would need to be within 200 feet to detonate them.

Teana's Shadow-Traces cannot cast spells.

I'm tempted to just kill everyone in Slaver's Bay instead of dealing with Devious Devilry, but that's nothing out of usual.
 
i mean certain symbols can be cast as an action so we could do that before leaving just as an anoying thing for them to deal with
 
So, can we make something in the Flesh Forge which can pull the house-stealing heists of Viserys?

Also, which methods do we have of magically creating furniture and various little things that remain inside a house?
 
How about a counter ambush?

Stay outside the house and see who comes?
I would much rather be far from this area while we interrogate our newest loot.

Technically we could, in that we can grow servitors capable of casting 5th level spells, Teleport included. The necessary size and strength to pull that off, though, would make the servitors easy to spot. Invisibility can help with that, but sufficient space isn't always available to accommodate creatures that large.

There are various creation spells, and good ole Fabricate is perfect for that if you already have raw materials available. The creation spells are limited in what they can create, however, and how long the material persists.
Or at least observe it with scrying.

We also didn't see anything at the feast I believe.
Yeah, I should have thought to add that in. Teana, at the very least, will be able to see through her own Illusion spell without effort.

Updating my plan now.

We can provide the teleport. We only need a brute that can be buffed to lift the house.

Also, we can always tunnel below, make the necessary modifications to the foundations to allow it to be lifted and then cover the whole heist with Illusions.

The question is how to make an untraceable material. And I think that True Creation is the answer.

Unfortunately True Creation is an 8th level spell limited to the Artifice Domain. Since it isn't on her regular spell list, she won't be able to duplicate it using Inspired Spell. Miracle should be able to do it, but Lya won't have that until 20th level.

True Creation is also expensive and each casting only created a relatively small amount of material.

If you want instant houses which we can pack up and move on command, a lesser version of an Instant Fortress should suffice.


An Instant Fortress is very expensive because it uses Adamantine and is quite large, but an Instant House made from stone and wood should be much cheaper and less eye catching.

Wasn't Lya able to learn those spells anyway? A domain spell is simply a Cleric spell from a specific deity.

Or we can have Viserys cast it via Miracle anyway.

I like the idea of Instant Fortress, but what we need is an exact replica of a house for when we need to leave without it being used to spy on us. If we could modify it to have the same shape as the house on activation, then I approve it.

Also the teleported house should be either disintegrated or shoved into a sphere of anihilation, the ones floating in the Plane of Negative Energy for example.

THEN, we would have maximum paranoia achieved.
