She wants to be free of the Abyss, helping her in that was part of our pact with her. We're just not entirely sure how to go about it yet.What about her afterlife prospect? We did promise her to save her from the Abyss.

The sad part is that we can't even send Azema to put him back on track due to the whole "consorting with demons" bit.
Either way, when are we going to make her at least neutral? CN is more manageable than CE, even if she displayed incredible restraint until now.
Also, @Goldfish, I was doing some research on various spells we use to capture sacrifices and whether or not we could spread them around the party, and apparently Baleful Polymorph is a level 5 druid spell as well as a level 5 sorcerer/wizard spell. Can Vee and/or Tyene pick that up in an upcoming level? They can learn any divine spell, right?
Quasit: there is no way im going to swallow that!We need to find something we can forcefeed the Elysium Fruit that we don't care if it explodes as a test case.
By the way, I'm hoping the baby adventurers will have their roles to play in the conquest of Tyrosh? There's a rather stark need for XP, especially with Leila.
Its a sword with white wings and a glowy blue orb.

We'll make sure to schedule them for that this next turn.It's all hands on deck. I'm hoping to send them to double check Daemon's Folly for that "accursed" thing before that, though.

For proper planning:
Baby & Subordinate Adventurers
We can't justify sending Kyla to war, not in the least because that's one of @Goldfish's few moral pet-peeves in the quest but also because it breaks our tacit agreement with the Fairwinds that their daughter is there to learn and she hasn't sworn fealty or enlisted. Any Nymeria is a disappointment on all levels for just leaving on the turn of a dime. Everyone else, though? They're all ours.
Theon and the Archer Arcanum could wreak quite a bit of havoc, especially with the dragonbone bows we're going to craft them.
Leila I want out of any real danger in fighting monsters and the like, but putting her in the middle of a ship battle is still reasonably safe. Maybe we should just pair her up with Asha. They'd be completely out of danger by being paired with Mercy, so maybe we could send them against some of the minor monsters.
Argo goes with the rest of the Minotaurs.
Bronn goes with party members, he's frankly skilled enough to keep up and at this point I'm seriously considering petitioning to make him a full-fledged party member if not quite eligible for government decisions.
Moonsong can be the flashy distraction in the harbor while we cut right to the heart of the city and burn out the truly dire threats.
Teana comes with us.
Glyra goes wherever we send Maelor.
Hmmm... For Sorcerer's Deep we need at least one PC keeping an eye back home, ready to contact us at any time via Whispering Brazier. Not sure who to put on the bench this time, but it needs to be someone, and I don't want Teana to sit out since in a mere one level she gets Teleport.
I wish Teana would get enough XP to reach 10th level, but realistically, she isn't going to want to participate in the attack on Tyrosh. She's a powerful caster with a lot of useful spells that could aid in the defense of SD, so I won't be too upset if we leave her behind.
Mercy will of course be present as well. Her healing won't be of too much use during the actual fighting, but she can buff a huge number of our Legionnaires and any allied sellswords immediately prior to battle.
I think Xor, Glyra, and Maelor should also stay behind in SD, with a small contingent of Minotaurs. They could all use the XP, too, but they all lack the kinds of abilities that would be particularly helpful for a large scale attack, while simultaneously being quite effective against smaller groups of more dangerous enemies. Maybe we could also borrow Alyssane from Braavos for a couple days to provide a bit more backup in SD until we have most of the Tyrosh fighting taken care of?
Bah.
Teana I can understand keeping at home since it's apparently IC of her to shy away from danger of all stripes (which I STILL am pissed off about, she's a PC dammit).
But everyone else I want in the thick of it getting that XP. I absolutely want Xor, Glyra, and Maelor fighting in Tyrosh. They don't necessarily have to be by our side, they could just be dismantling regular soldiers, but they should definitely be fighting.
It's not that I don't want them there, sucking up all that delicious XP, I just don't trust DP not to spring a surprise invasion or attack of some sort on SD while we are all otherwise engaged.
How about leaving Bronn at home, then? He's valuable, but we're not exactly to the point of carefully feeding him XP yet. We can leave several scrolls of Sending or something with baby mages--have those mages all in different points of our island--and keep a dedicated alert team right by the Whispering Brazier to contact us if anything goes wrong.It's not that I don't want them there, sucking up all that delicious XP, I just don't trust DP not to spring a surprise invasion or attack of some sort on SD while we are all otherwise engaged.

And right before we engage in conquest, we divine with Yss to ask if anyone intends to invade or set a trap on SD as soon as we make our move.
Point.I think Bronn should be involved in Tyrosh. It will let him be useful to us, while also impressing upon him just what we are capable of in a more visceral manner than merely hearing second hand accounts after Tyrosh is already ours.
Point.
Honestly I would very much prefer to just bring everyone possible and take all possible divination precautions to see if anyone is planning on taking advantage of our absence.
The PCs need the XP, the baby PCs doubly so.
... Alright, paranoia wins the day. Xor stays in SD.If we do that, I want to bring the Shadow Tower as well, on the off chance we lose SD entirely while distracted by Tyrosh.
