What skull? As a general note I want it back intact after they're done with it.

This stuff:

Skull of the Still Scream
Description: At first sight this skull shows itself to be nothing more than yellowed bone, but if one were to set it in sunlight or besides the light of a roaring flame, still the empty sockets would be filled with blackest shadow.
Ability: Allows the bard who carries it to use the counter-song ability to counter any spell with a verbal competent of level 1-3 as dispel magic. May not be used to dispel ongoing effects.
Caster level: 7

You would not trust the thing unless it were purified, or else see it offered up in sacrifice.

I'd vote for sending atleast one of the Torc's too honestly. Or have Lya research how that thing grabs the soul to hopefully research a counter or atleast a defense.

If not, sacrifice the damn things. It's a security risk.
 
[X] Loot Distribution
-[X] Purchase the Dryad Sandals from Amrelath and give them to Alyssa Grafton
-[X] The Torcs of the Broken Brotherhood will potentially be reverse-engineered. Given the unique utility against the Efreeti, inquire if the Shaitan and Djinn would be interested in a research collaboration for this since we currently lack the time. Results of the research will of course be shared equally among all parties involved. If declined, they go back in the stockpile until they can be purified and put to use.
--[X] Once purified (or deemed safe after a bit of analysis), one Torc is to be reserved for the Seeker
-[X] See if Yrael and his Archons are able to purify the skull and make it safe for a bard to use. Afterwards we can see about reverse-engineering it.

If all else fails sacrifice the skull along with an additional sacrifice to Yss or the Old Gods to get a uncured Talisman with the effect or something.

Seriously though. I still remember than Amulet with the Su we got from sacrificing a Doghai Assasin so long ago. We ever see the possibility for doing that with more creatures? Su ability items for sacrifice would be neat.

I honestly don't think it is worth it.
It is not a unique effect, like giving someone a fucking Feat, with those amulets we last gave them.

It would be same as us crafting an item of Fire Immunity and DR, and certainly won't be anything new for Shaitan/Djinn.

And even if, if, it is a completely new method, if it will cost significantly less (and either have as major the setback as the curse, or break the balance without one) it would take time that is better spent researching other things really, seeing that war is coming to a close in 4-6 months, and by then there wont be enough items produced to make a difference.

It's not like these protect from immunity-bypassing damage, either.

I think we are spreading the joint research projects too think, when we should laser-focus them instead.

That's why this is merely an inquiry. If they think it's worth it, they pursue it. If they happen to have better options, they politely decline.

We don't lose anything simply by asking.

Then the first part is still a problem.
Why would we reverse-engineer it?

We can craft equivalent items already, they just cost a lot.

And spending much research-time on un-cursing these 5 (if at all succeeding, which isn't a given) doesn't seem a good investment, seeing as they are, well, kinda unique lot and we likely wont ever find more of them.

Because for all we know there's a shot at making the items much cheaper. This is an inquiry to see if it's worth it. If it isn't, we won't do it. Asking questions costs us nothing, and if there happens to be a relatively cheap way to do it, then all of a sudden making a colony in the Plane of Fire for Amrelath seems much easier.
 
I almost forgot. @Crake, how many PCs are still free? We need to go send a few up to help the Thenns clear out their barrows before we evacuate them.

0 PCs are, unless reassigned - and even then only Minor ones would be.

We can do that in 12th month tho', if all goes well.
While also researching their Wards.

That far North is not a place someone lesser than a Companion should venture.

Right, we definitely want those Land Wards researched.

Yeah, we are not putting those torcs on anyone we care about.
On the other hand, can we use them on a construct or something else without a soul?
 
Duesal said:
Brilliant. The Warforged don't have souls, IIRC.

That's wasist!!! :p

But seriously...how? We literally use a soul stuff infused chunk of metal as their core/heart to make them. They can gain experience and level up and everything.

Maybe just stick em on Umbral spies or other constructs on away missions to the Plane of Fire or Molten Skies. Because Heralds and harbingers both already heal from fire effects so they are a bit past Immunity already....I think. If they arent stick it on them.

But still feel we should just sacrifice this stuff. God knows whether it will overwrite the constructs we put them on. Cant tell with Void touched Winter.

...I'm somewhat apprehensive to give an item with a clear Winter-curse to anyone, even Seeker.

Can we really be sure that it won't let Others to affect the wearer directly, like we can break through Mindblank given some piece of target?

Automatons aren't in any less danger from it either- spirits of Law can be corrupted still.
