1. So we have a Red Abishai scale from Illyrio's manse. Is this the same one? What does our Wayfinder say? Even if it isn't, does our Wayfinder have any reading from the scale?
2. Are there any other Tiamat demons here?
Hello, future trophies.
Ah. That is a speculative bubble then. And a scam.He did hand out shares and the share price keeps going up because more people are buying in so I think it fits the most basic definition for a bubble.
If you are looking to mind control an Abishai, until we get access to 9th level spells, our best bet is to use soft control through Charm Monster effects, more overt effects such as Suggestion, or subtle but vicious mind fuckery such as Unconscious Agenda.
@DragonParadox Malarys is just 82 XP from leveling up. Any chance his wheeling and dealing in the City of Brass were enough to get him over that hump?
@DragonParadox, can the Red Abishai Scale be used as a focus for a forced summoning?

Dany can apply mental spells in the dreamlands which carries over to the physical world. Normally, I would not risk this, but we have a piece of it and a staff of greater cursing.If you are looking to mind control an Abishai, until we get access to 9th level spells, our best bet is to use soft control through Charm Monster effects, more over the effects such as Suggestion, or subtle but vicious mind fuckery such as Unconscious Agenda.

Nice.Sure. That would be worth 500 XP. I was going to hand it out later as part of a larger sum but now works too.
Don't we have 10 charges left?A currently defunct Staff of Ages.
We still need to recharge and enhance it via sacrifice to Yss.
Unfortunately not.Don't we have 10 charges left?
I want to steal Tiamats cult and I don't care who we have to cram into Yss to make it happen.
So we started off with 30 charges.Staff of Ages
Description: Once charred beyond all hope of recognition, perhaps in the vain hope of slaying its last bearer, the black staff is now glossy and covered in a thin oily film that somehow does not impede one's grip at all. Silver bells once tarnished now shine with burnished light, adorning the staff as before.
Ability: This staff allows use of the following spells:
Special: By using up to twice the number of charges at once during an hour long ritual, the bearer can curse a target either present in person or through a token anointed with the subject's blood without allowing a save.
- Ill Omen (1 charge)
- Bestow Curse (3 charges)
- Greater Bestow Curse (5 charges)
Special: If the staff is broken by the bearer while it has at least 15 Charges all creatures within 10 ft. other than the bearer permanently advance 1d4 age categories (Will save DC 28 halves). If this would cause the victims to achieve an age category older than venerable they immediately fall to dust and are counted as having died of natural causes.
Charges: 30/30
Caster level: 15
...Are we going to Yss roight now, then?Don't we have 10 charges left?

also some other stuff too...[X] Talk with Yss again, and learn what he found of the promised knowledge (Valyrian gods, how dead/alive they are, how to best rezz dead gods, and if it's possible to break the 15th influence over them when bringing them back) in his slumber.
[mostly joking, but not really]-[X] Also sacrifice an appropriate amount of relevant stuff to recharge and expand the pool of charges for Curse-staff.
-[X] Have him try to set up a scrying beacon to that one Advodaza that seeks to return in Plane Material, using the broken talisman once used to call for it as a beacon of sorts.
-[X] Ask Yss about the artifact given to you by the Faceless Man. His timeless nature and divinity may be helpful here.
No, Yss is still asleep....Are we going to Yss roight now, then?
Because I have a boatload of lore I was promised, and I will not leave untill I have it
also some other stuff too...
[mostly joking, but not really]
Is he?
Unfortunately not.
So we started off with 30 charges.
Then we used 10 charges for a long-distance ritual against Varys to curse him with a divination beacon.
Then we used 20 charges for two simultaneous long-distance rituals to make sure everything that was part of Jeyne Weaver died to a flesh-eating disease, except for the psionic body the Mind Flayers gave to us.
This staff is totally empty right now.
When does he wake up again? The 15th?
I'll need to check, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't waking up that soon.Is he?
I was pretty sure he was bound to awaken by the 4th ...
Nope. The sacrifice-ready section of the Larder is totally empty.Do we have anything left we can use to charge it with?
A devil?
A spider?
Demon flavored Ramen Noodles?
