BTW, @DragonParadox, we're still operating under the "Glibness spell doesn't exist" guidelines, right?

No that ruling was about Viserys getting it, since your buffs are already off the charts. A bard could indeed cast glibness.

Spend most of the rest of the night plotting, get two hours of sleep to recover - Ring of Sustenance fuck yeah - and then see if we can make arrangements to talk to Aglantine in the morning. I doubt we'll be welcome that early. Getting to her is probably going to be a double-point expenditure, but it'll be worth it. Then we just need to hit up Olindor in the evening to solidify the block.

Guys you do not have infinite actions here, otherwise the conclave will never end. If you want to talk to someone it will be during the break tomorrow

So it's available for Blood Wishing then?

If I had known it was available for Bards, Xor would have it as a known spell by now.

Can it at least be the +20 Pathfinder version rather than the +30 D&D standard?

The intent would be to set up a meeting with her in the narrative before the Conclave starts, so that we're certain to get to see her during the break. Then go see Olindor during the night action. So it's still limited actions, just with some narrative setup on them - if that's allowed?

Have the Companions snatch the experienced mages during the day, whilst the Conclave is in session.

OK so not actually an extra action just trying to secure the audience in the morning, but having it be done in the afternoon? That could be done though you would have to interrupt someone at morning prayers so it would come with a mauls unfortunately.
 
Wouldn't it be better to grab all the mages there? I mean it would be more hostages and cripple their organization.

It comes down to how much we can mobilise. If we can, I'd actually like to just seal the entire building and gas them all with knockout poisons, but that might be too much to hope for at short noti-

Wait a sec. There's a basic piece of adventuring gear...somewhere...that can turn potions and poisons into an aerosol. I now need to find it.
 
Thankfully, Viserys' Sense Motive skill is at +37 resting, and +47 with Air of Nobility, which he should be running right now. Even full Glibness shouldn't be able to steamroll that.

Preliminary plan.

[X] Inquire about the vial and what bargain he made for it.
-[X] "Although we have never made such a bargain ourselves, it might be something we would be interested in soon, as the years have begun to weigh heavy upon our shoulders and the resilience of youth is long gone."
[X] After speaking of the vial and Fey bargains, take your leave for now.
-[X] Attempt to arrange a meeting with Anglatine tomorrow during the midday break. If it cannot be done without disturbing her or her attendants unduly, we will seek her out as soon as the break begins.
-[X] Dany, with assistance from whichever Companions she feels necessary, especially Tyene, Lya, Malarys, and Richard, move to capture as many of Lucan's mages as possible while the Conclave is in service. They will be suitably disguised, both magically as well as by using mundane means.
--[X] They will place priority on capturing any of the more experienced mages who happen to venture out of their hideout.
--[X] If they believe it feasible, and Divination confirms it, they will move on the hideout itself. They will use Sleep-Smoke to quickly blanket the building's interior, along with mass incapacitation and capture spells, along with Forbiddance warding to prevent Teleportation if Dany believes it necessary.
--[X] Captured mages will be placed in Smoky Confinement bottles, if possible, and hidden in the Divination proofed room of the Shadow Tower until Viserys can place them in his cloak. Those which cannot yet be contained due to limited spell availability will be kept thoroughly sedated and under constant guard in the Divination proofed room.
--[X] They will be careful to watch out for disguised Outsiders, especially Gerold the Planetar. If Gerold is present, or similarly dangerous opponents, they will abort the mission.

Added another adventuring location to the front page, this one with more details because you sent Saan looking:

Gogossos


The southlands are savage as they come, but Gogossos is more than that... vicious, cruel. The things that come out of those damned ruins ain't so merciful as to just cut you up and eat you.'Course the lizards don't have any treasure for the taking either. worth the trip if you've got the stones for it... and a couple of good sorcerers to make sure you won't lose 'em
-Saladhor Saan Thaemos of the Basilisk Isles after his first expedition to Gogossos

Known as Gorgai during its first founding by Ghiscari traders eager to explore Sothorios the city's vine-choked skyline still bears the stamp of that ancient realm, but it is the Valyrians who later conquered it who left by far the greatest legacy of Gogossos. Alchemists and sorcerers, even the dread flesh-smiths of Valyria found refuge there during the Century of Blood as the city grew ever richer from the trade in slaves and other darker wares. It was said that for every three slaves the Gogossosi traded one vanished into the city's depths, never to return... at least not in any human semblance. Travelers tales from the years just preeceeding the city's death to some plague or pestilence tell of slave women, forced to bear twisted half-human abominations.

From broken tablets and the broken whispers of old bones it is posibile to piece together that the flesh-smiths were desperately trying to replace the failing flesh-forge with some simpler means of working their craft that would endure the time of fading magic. Whether or not they succeeded is moot however, as these experiments also bred Gogossos' doom.

Thankfully no trace of the plague remains, though the same cannot be said for earlier workings of the flesh-forge, creatures that had been set into torpor after the Doom now walk in the shadow of the shattered halls that even the painted lizards have learned to avoid. The creatures seem uncannily aware of when they face sorcery and withdraw before any force strong enough to slay or capture them. Are they only acting out the desires of long dead masters or have the long centuries of slumber changed these servitors into something the flesh-smiths never intended.

Well that just caused the hair on the back of my neck to stand up...

Anyone else have an inkling that those last desperate Fleshcrafters might have tried to create a communicable organism which can induce augmentations normally limited to direct Flesh Forge manipulation? And that they might have succeeded?
 
It's a nice omake, but I do have to say I'm definitely against this becoming canon. If this ends up happening at all, fine, but I would want it to happen via DP's rolls instead of omakes.

Don't forget, this isn't nearly as simple as you're making it out to be. Even Tiamat needed actual Valyrian Dragon eggs along with clerics running around that she could then convert to Chromatic Dragon eggs. She hasn't just been spawning them from nothing.

If she can't do it, Bahamut can't do it. He's not the God of Lost Dragons for nothing.
And yet getting Metallic dragon eggs is not all that hard, you just have to find 2 dragons of different breeds, 1 male and 1 female, and get them to breed with each other, and sooner or later 1 of the eggs will be Metallic, DP has said that this is how breeding between different races of dragons work.

I just don't get how Bahamut can have been searching for so long, when DP has stated that getting a Metallic, would be as simple as convincing the right 2 dragons to breed.

Keep in mind dragons do not breed often and pairs across different breeds are even more uncommon than that.

That might be, but dragons are also very much opportunists, I refuse to believe that there's no dragons, who would take a large bribe, for promising to look for a mate outside it's own breed.

Bahamut is a god, he should have the resources, to convince some dragons to choose a mate from another breed.

I mean Relath decided to breed half-dragon children, because he thought they would make good subordinates, that show to me that dragons aren't against such ideas.

The idea of a dragon effectively whoring itself out is... well...

'Crispy' comes to mind as a term.
 
I'm still looking for a dragon with healing breath though.


Also, @Goldfish, do you want to attack those experienced mages that leave Lucans hideout now and then or do you want to attack his base?
Undead and negative energy breath, golems with one or the other elemental type, and iirc, some denizens of the elemental plains that also heal from their respective element.
