I'm also not sure why aren't we using "Tyrosh infosec protocols" with this.

Our involvement should be as hidden as possible from all players in Volantis.
As, you know, fiends have free communes, fucks that they are.

There just hasn't been time to be that thorough. Hopefully our extremely late involvement in the whole affair will serve us well, as we didn't even know about it until two weeks ago.
Can we at least use Legend Lore on the staff? It takes a maximum of 40 minutes to cast and should not interfere with Volantis in any way.

Other than that, good plan!

Done.
 
It really shouldn't devalue the sacrifices that much, and the venom is very good. Worth it.
We'll also need a "Resist Poison"-type effect grafted onto such hydra, as it can even barely eat poisonous meat of it's brethren, let alone having something like this flowing through it.
 
Yeeah...
Fun...

*looks at Ymeri's mansion ready to burst, fiend-callers being stupid fucks they are, Zherys having his own plans, Red Priests being subservient fucks they are and Meraxes not yet having avatar while we (a dragon) are around*

You can certainly call it that.

Distract yourself with loot and XP. :)
 
@Goldfish, still no bringing Lya to Sothoryos?

I mean, the whole dungeon-delve will likely take only a day or two (or at least I hope so, or i'll have to rework my RA-list again) and not infringe upon wight-research too much.

We haven't yet gotten the reward from the quest, so I assume DP forgot/got merciful on us and we still have the chance to get it for her.
 
Yes, she seriously needs to harvest them. The poison is extremely good. We should get barrels of the stuff.

Huge-sized Monstrous Spider (Poison save DC 16, Initial Effect: 1d8 Strength damage, Secondary Effect: 1d8 Strength damage)
Gargantuan-sized Monstrous Spider (Poison save DC 20, Initial Effect: 2d6 Strength damage, Secondary Effect: 2d6 Strength damage)
Colossal-sized Monstrous Spider (Poison save DC 28, Initial Effect: 2d8 Strength damage, Secondary Effect: 2d8 Strength damage)
Do we have space for them in the Menagerie? Can we milk some of these spiders? Maybe use a Limited Wish to increase their venom production?

I personally think she should come for at least one day, if only so we can justify trying to give her that 5K XP.

...these are fiendish spiders.
That's the sort of shit that is barely covered by Vee's skills at animal-handling (bullshit as they are), if covered at all.

There is more chance for us to graft several spider-poison glands onto a hydra and then have it be okay with cutting off its heads 8 times a month, than milking those spiders :/

I was thinking of cursing the Colossal Spiders with everything we've got and then milking with impunity, and the harvesting grafts right before sacrifice.

Maybe we should build a shrine to Lolth as thanks...

...that might work, but I'd really rather go all mad scientist on Hydras next month and have 1 made into a super-poison source, while several others will get planar/elemental alignments to give us hundreds of litres of liquid concepts.

EDIT: ignore this, reading comprehension failure.

We can bring Lya as well, but it will interrupt her research into giving other crafters their own Dedicated Wrights.

I would rather she keep researching, but if enough of ya'll express interest in bringing her along as well, I'll update that part of the plan.
 
Alright, more "Random thoughts as egoo tries to fall asleep".

You guys remember Tor getting that pimpy Spell-resisting snake coat of his?

What about trying to graft that onto a hydra, and getting a source of Spell-resistant scales?

...Tor being alive and slowly dissolving in Hydra's poisonous blood is optional.
 
Well, apparently even DP wants Lya to get that bonus 5k XP for visiting Sothoryos, so I've added her into the plan. Hopefully she won't lose more than a day of research time.

This is true. But the research time can easily be boltstered by having Naria add to that action, so we won't lose that much time.
 
Hey, I think I found a problem: the fiendish template gives spell resistance of 5+HD. Colossal Monstrous spiders have 32 HD each, for SR 37 I think DP forgot about it, because we really shouldn't have gotten both firebrands to work.
 
Just want to make sure if we are planning on cursing these guys so we can milk them.
Absolutely, that much is standard. All saves go down by 6. Strength and Dexterity straight to 1. Cursed to only be able to take an action 25% of the time. Maybe if DP let's us even be cursed to make more venom so that its captors can harvest it all.

Bestow Greater Curse is one of my favorite spells.

Curse intelligence to one so they become valid handle animal targets.

From the SRD:
Special
You can use this skill on a creature with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2 that is not an animal, but the DC of any such check increases by 5. Such creatures have the same limit on tricks known as animals do.

Chilling as fuck. Like, wow. Diminishing something from 3+ to 1-2 Int is just... *shudders*

Speaking of the moon and Dothraki legends, anyone else think that DP will go the Naruto route and have Tiamat's actual body sealed in the moon?
