I was thinking a spell completion item of Cure Light Wounds. Just instead of a potion or salve, make it a pinch of salt that you have to rub onto the affected area.

Can someone remind me what we did with Crimson Lotus? I know we 'recruited' him and he gave us intel but is he a minion, hostage, sacrifice, etc?

Minion. He's a tool to help bring down the Court of Stars. Assuming he survives and is capable of staying in line he'll stay a minion.

But no, really, he is in-between all theee.
While technically agreeing to serve us, he hasn't left CoS mechanically, so chances are he'll die with them now.
Godspeed, I say.
The asshat only really served to have our first ever outing of 120+ Diplomacy, and failed conclusively in being useful afterwards, decidedly not being worth the investments compared to his asshole-iness.

Hm.
Come to think of it, we may just want to call him to "report to us" in SD in a few days and sacrifice him alongside the Crown, just to ensure more of a narrative connection to CoS being there to exploit.
Would be an A-grade asshole move, for sure... but also one kinda lucrative in both getting rid of a bitch, and being potentially useful for the monumental task of having a Fey court go extinct.

As tempting as it is, we made a deal. So long as he keeps up his end of the bargain and doesn't break Imperial law he is safe from us.

No, he's Wildfae now. Meaning he'll be fine. Probably.
The ritual is specifically targeting the nobility anyway, assuming there's knockon effects that hit the Fey making up the rest of the court, it likely won't be fatal after all the diffusion.

Aww
The "Evul Sorcerer"-thing just isn't complete without the "betraying the skulduggery minion"-thing.
...Even though we are doing the "massive ritual than can shake foundations of the world"-thing and the "summon Demons in amounts enough to blot out the sky"-thing.
Even the "having an entire army of monstrous creatures and Undead between the location of the ritual and everything else" aside, we just cant have too many cliches here, I think.

Distinct lack of magic McGuffin involved that the heroes have been chasing after only to have it snatched away from them at the last minute, 0/10.Aww

Edit: Oh shit... I'm lying.
Garth's Crown is the McGuffin.
Welp. Guess we're the BBEG.

...I kinda want to do a fake-out with the crown now, keeping the real thing on us, in the cloak, (and in the Unravelling's lockbox to boot) while having as convincing a fake we can manage lay under a shitload of protections in the ritual site.
Just to keep to "gotcha!"-style of narrative of a BBEG we surely are, pulling out the real thing after the
Tbh, it feels like the story we'd make here would sell all the better to any future-met Fey Courts, the more BBEG stuff we pile up into it.
...heh.
Outright bullying Fey into service by having our narrative towards Fey courts specifically be the "Unrelenting interplanar Conqueror" fells like fun.
Honestly us implementing some over the top plan to keep the crown safe is par for the course given the shenanigans with hiding the demons we summoned. So I say we need to figure out something even more over the top and ridiculous.

No one's gonna swipe the Crown without chewing through a few thousand CR of assets, first.
And frankly, if they can get past all of that without a fight, we should have been bodied a long time ago, couldn't have done anything to stop them in the first place, so worrying about it is pointless anyway.
Way I see it, whoever can rustle up a strike force and a small army quickly enough to carve their way through our ritual's encirclement deserve the damn thing.

You are thinking with logic, not with narrativium.
Imma bet Fey can outright ignore DnD rules in this setting of ours if either in the midst of their domain, or in the middle of their story's final act. Get it? Final act because we are killing them all?
Just seems like a thing DP'd do looking at previous interactions.
We went all-out in making ridiculously overprepared summoning chambers the high-CR highly-sprcialized Demon couldn't get into, while also exposing a significant part of the corruption they have set into our institutions by being too obvious.
We will go even more overboard with the sheer numbers of guards we'll post around the ritual site, water, ground and air alike.
What's now in adding some more challenge, when it costs us little, but is just fun to imagine paying off in case the Fey/Demons/whoever actually manage to try and fick with the ritual?

Again, no use worrying about it. If we get bodied the first time it would be narratively appropriate, we deserve it for having the temerity to exist.You are thinking with logic, not with narrativium.

If we don't, then we can mark off another pesky obstacle on our long, long, incredibly dense list of enemies.
And we have been crossing out names left and right.

By the way, any plans on what to do with Tiamat's body still?
We've kinda not touched the thing, ever since... ever?
If we aren't gonna do anything I suppose it'd be a good Herald for Meraxes (because screw Syrax
) once the 15th is ded and she's ready to roll.Be careful about that, with such great power come great delusions of people scheming against you (and your contributions to the quest.)
And distrust for the wheels.

Yes further preparation is utterly redundant. But this is not about something as prosaic as winning. This is about T-posing over the entire setting and declaring our supreme over the top cheesy, unnecessarily complicated, intricate, BBEG cred as we unleash a massive demonic sacrifice powered genocide ritual against our foes.
Or more succinctly, Viserys is Megamind and the Court of Stars is Titan:

a) Lya gets her next Mythic Rank and figures out how to make Artifacts
b) When Zathir finishes making us that Crafting Artifact
c) When we remember to make it
And also making those skull things Azel was talking about.

[X] Plan Pro-Gamer Move
-[X]
-[X] Instead of using a Demiplane to seal away the Oozes, instead use it to create a Gate that can then be redirected with Portal to Portal Redirect to act as an entrance to the same desination as the Ooze Gate.
-[X] Viserys and Lya will use the time freed up by cutting a day of summoning to do this operation. If Lya considers it safe to fully redirect the portal then to only do so temporarily, do so.
