Fin doesn't object to adding the gems and platinum to the party loot; he was only holding them. He'll also add back the scroll of conjure elemental...if we're not going to use it, and it seems useless in hand to hand combat, then maybe we should just sell it.
He does have the black scarab and will add it to the party loot. It's evil and while in principle he doesn't object to that, maybe we can get a few bucks for it.
Fin will also research the Improved Invisibility spell.
Fin agrees with Haidar up to a point, because he DOES give a damn about the money. It's almost ALL about the Benjamins, to him...babes come first, then cash. Since we got very few babes, he's focusing on magic items and cash. He'd also like to know why Murkey gets a full share as an NPC? Why does Ingrid get anything, seeing as how her primary contribution was to get turned into stone? We're not seriously going to spend cash/spells to bring her back, are we?
Whereever we decide to end up, and he really doesn't care although Aegypt does sound fun, Fin's interested in finding a hireling or two. Specifically, a young magic user or thief, you get to guess as to which gender.

Now that we have located A'bu'bu, can we use Clairvoyance to view his location? What about Sending? Colby will use Clairvoyance on the spot where we saw him. I think I'll send in 3 parts: "Greetings and apologies for intrusion. We are followers of Fizzi and ... seek to negotiate for aid and training to further our holy ... quest. If you will consider assistance, please wave. Thank you." I'll wait for suggestions before I actually send anything. Did the Conclave spell book burn in a Fireball? I don't see it on a character sheet, and I don't know if our spell book list is up to date. If so, that was our only copy of Clairaudience. Maybe we can get him to write messages in the sand. |

So other than the stuff Youssef pre-purchased for his training at 9th level, we don't really have the resources to train anyone for new levels in magic-user or cleric. Is that correct? Correct. We would have to head to another populated area (Aegypt, Pentadastion, Frogtown?) to obtain the resources or someone would have to teleport and return with the stuff. I'd also allow the party to pay the same cost as self-training. 2x regular. Haidar is going to need 12d6 + 30 days to accomplish training through 7th level. How is that going to work? Slowly. What is Tirian asking for as a monthly stipend? Would he be interested in receiving magic arms or armor as recompense? We can always use additional high level fighters. 1000GP a month plus expenses. And a half/quarter/negotiable? share of any major treasure recovered. Dan will use locate object to determine if either the Heart of Law or the Eye of Mitra are in the vicinity. He will check from the base of the White Tower and from above the top of the White Tower. At 9th level his range with be 15" which should be more than enough to cover the area. Neither object is locatable within 15" of the base or above the top of the White Tower. Now that we have located A'bu'bu, can we use Clairvoyance to view his location? What about Sending? Colby will use Clairvoyance on the spot where we saw him. The party did not see him. Only one of the party magic-users successfully used the crystal ball to scry A'bu'bu. And only briefly before it was detected and Dispelled. Clairvoyance/Clairaudience - "distance is not a factor but the locale must be known i.e. a place familiar to the spellcaster or an obvious one (such as behind a door, around a corner, in a copse of woods, etc.)". Now, arguably the magic-user who successfully scryed the cleric might be able to use Clairvoyance to view the patch of desert where he was encamped. Sending - "The caster is empowered to contact a single creature with whom he or she is familiar and whose name and appearance are well known." But none of the party magic-users are familiar enough with A'bu'bu to perform a Sending. Did the Conclave spell book burn in a Fireball? Yes. Sign Haidar up. And if anyone has other suggestions for particular spells he should attempt to learn as he levels up, let me know. A variant of Invisibility that works on inanimate objects (limited by size/quantity by caster level) would be 3rd level. If you'd like to attempt to research something like that for your spell at level increase, I'm OK with that. Otherwise, I am inclined to let the DM choose something interesting. Be forewarned, interesting isn't necessarily useful or good. Does the White Tower have any pan pipes that they are not using? Unfortunately all the pan pipes are in use. |

In order to decide what to do next I need more information
-how many days is it to Aegypt by caravan/Ship according to Grimstone, Tirian, the caravan guards?
-how many days is it to Aegypt with Murkey flying?
-how many days is it from Aegypt to the Throne of the Titans - by Ship, by dragon escort?
-how many days is it to the Throne of the Titans according to Dre by Ship/mount?
-does Dre see any problem using the Ship to reach the volcano?
-is it likely Dan and Haddiq(?) can get trained in Aegypt by a priest of Ra?
-is it likely we can reach Aegypt quickly enough that we can get Friedrich and Trommer raised?
-is it likely we can convince/pay someone in Aegypt to raise Friedrich and Trommer?
I think our main options are
-head south with Dre on the boat, doing whatever training we can do on the Ship, getting supplies in Frogtown and hoping Fizzi will be able to raise Friedrich and Trommer sometime in the next 23 days
-head west to Aegypt, hope to get training and healing in return for some task as well as a dragon escort from Aegypt to the volcano.
According to the DMG, Fizzi will need to rest 1 day for each 100 gp value of the item he is constructing. That could easily push the time out beyond when the raise dead has to occur.
It seems like we are leaning to Aegypt.

A variant of Invisibility that works on inanimate objects (limited by size/quantity by caster level) would be 3rd level. If you'd like to attempt to research something like that for your spell at level increase, I'm OK with that. Yes, unless someone has a better suggestion. I figure the party has a decent library of 3rd-level spells already, so getting something that is a useful addition to the joint collection is maybe more of a priority than a new spell that Haidar himself expects to use a lot. Be forewarned, interesting isn't necessarily useful or good. OK, on the same grounds. Of course, interesting and useful and good would be even better. (Note: If by "good" you mean alignment, Haidar definitely it not interested in any evil-aligned spells, no matter how interesting.) Something cat-related would be cool, though definitely not that one that killed Mary! It seems like we are leaning to Aegypt. FWIW, Haidar definitely votes for Aegypt. He'd like to find a temple of Bast at some point. Give thanks for being alive. Tell the priests about all that Set stuff. Tithe a little if he can afford it. (Question: If you tithe a percentage of your wealth, then if you are in debt and your net wealth is negative, does tithing mean that the temple gives you money? No? Drat.) BTW, I am not available next weekend, but the current plan is that Paulette will be coming with Gareth. If that happens, Paulette may play Haidar for me (unless she doesn't). To the extent that we can get through the process of Haidar's training on the board between now and then, so she doesn't have to deal with it, that would be nice. If it's not possible, then it's not. |

So our first priority should be getting Friedrich and Trommer raised. It seems like Aegypt is the only place that is likely to occur since Fizzi and his followers are otherwise occupied. And access to the Well of Life is blocked. And Dan and Haddiq are not yet trained for 9th level. I am guessing it is at least a couple of weeks by Ship to Aegypt, which puts us under some time pressure to find a high enough priest. We may need to send ahead part of the party with Murkey and have the rest follow on the Ship. The advance team would bring the bodies, plenty of treasure and begin negotiations. The group traveling by Ship would begin training. Unfortunately Paavo has to drive the Ship and Mary isn't really the best to speak for the Party regardless of her high charisma. So that would argue for Colby leading the group that goes with Murkey.
-Murkey flies to Aegypt
-brings Colby, Dan, Nordel
-Trommer, Friedrich, Basmadoos and Mamnoon in q-box
-plus at least 50,000 GP worth of treasure
-look for high priest to raise Trommer and Friedrich and to train Dan
-look for trainer for Nordel
-begin negotiations with Dragon Pharoah
-Paavo drives Ship
-Youssef trains Haidar (using material brought by Youssef)
-Mary trains Finn (using material brought by Youssef)
-Once training is done then use remaining time to identify items
-Haddiq, Axhbar and Tirian provide support
-Grimstone accompanies us until has to leave for elves
-Caravan comes with us
-Silverhoof and Furio hopefully come with us under the assumption that their leader will be raised
-Dre hopefully comes with us under the assumption that that we need his help with the Tree of Life/Demonspore/training Trommer
Once everyone is assembled in Aegypt we can finish training, identify items, purchase/sell stuff, determine next steps.

In order to decide what to do next I need more information -how many days is it to Aegypt by caravan/Ship according to Grimstone, Tirian, the caravan guards? The caravan will reach the patrolled border in less than two weeks but then it's another week before they reach Istantar.
-how many days is it to Aegypt with Murkey flying? 6 days. Give or take.
-how many days is it from Aegypt to the Throne of the Titans - by Ship, by dragon escort? Unknown.-how many days is it to the Throne of the Titans according to Dre by Ship/mount? From the very southernmost edge of Ngoto territory, on a fast [word that roughly translates to "Axe-Beak"], would be 3 weeks. -does Dre see any problem using the Ship to reach the volcano? Even if the ship can sail on land, he doesn't see how it could traverse a hundred miles or more of dense jungle.
-is it likely Dan and Haddiq(?) can get trained in Aegypt by a priest of Ra? -is it likely we can reach Aegypt quickly enough that we can get Friedrich and Trommer raised? -is it likely we can convince/pay someone in Aegypt to raise Friedrich and Trommer? These answers are hard to quantify. -Murkey flies to Aegypt -brings Colby, Dan, Nordel -Trommer, Friedrich, Basmadoos and Mamnoon in q-box -plus at least 50,000 GP worth of treasure -look for high priest to raise Trommer and Friedrich and to train Dan -look for trainer for Nordel -begin negotiations with Dragon Pharoah Murkey can take off at once. He intends to fly directly to the Dragon Pharoah's pyramid. -Youssef trains Haidar (using material brought by Youssef) -Mary trains Finn (using material brought by Youssef) Not trying to be difficult, but I don't think the materials purchased in advance specifically for Youssef's 5th level training can be used for Haidar's 2nd level and Finnious' 4th level training. Mary can train Youssef in 5th level magic-user spells with the materials on hand. Vashalla can train Haidar in 2nd level cleric spells with materials from the White Tower at base cost. -Caravan comes with us -...Tirian provide support -Grimstone accompanies us until has to leave for elves -Silverhoof and Furio hopefully come with us under the assumption that their leader will be raised -Dre hopefully comes with us under the assumption that that we need his help with the Tree of Life/Demonspore/training Trommer The caravan will proceed with the ship, everyone is OK with that. Tirian will provide support assuming a monetary agreement is reached. Grimstone wants the party to accompany him when he visits the elves. Silverhoof makes himself scarce. He is a fey creature and not overly interested in human interaction. Furio will depart as well, ascending into the clouds on a bolt of lightning. Dre is going home, back to Ngoto territory. He's been gone a while, not to mention level drained. A two month detour into Aegypt isn't on his agenda. To the extent that we can get through the process of Haidar's training on the board between now and then, so she doesn't have to deal with it, that would be nice. That is my goal. |

Not trying to be difficult, but I don't think the materials purchased in advance specifically for Youssef's 5th level training can be used for Haidar's 2nd level and Finnious' 4th level training. So you're saying that someone will need to teleport to Barb-el-Shay (or somewhere else) to acquire the proper materials? Is there any reason not to clear out the vault while we're there? I don't see why we shouldn't store everything in the ship at this point. |

If Haidar or Fin are looking for spells to research, they could choose some of the spells we lost when books were destroyed.
Colby's Travelling Book #1 (12/12 spell levels) (30 encumbrance)
3rd Level: Spell Ward
Clay Ostracon #1 of Serpents and Sand (12/12 levels written) (60 encumbrance)
3rd Level: Hovering Skull, Salaphir's Searing Serpent
“Iz Omazzi” a spellbook (36/36 levels written) (150 encumbrance)
3rd Level: Phantom Steed, Leomund’s Tiny Hut
4th Level: Summon Swordsmen, Minor Globe of Invulnerability, Wall of Ice
5th Level: Summon Shadow, Faithful Hound
Conclave spellbook (36/36 levels) (150 enc)
1st: Armor, Run
3rd: Clairaudience
4th: Enchanted Armor, Enchanted Weapon, Leomund's Secure Shelter
5th: Telekinesis, Transmute Rock to Mud, Wall of Force
There are also some gaps among our current library.
1st: Spider Climb
3rd: Hold Person
4th: Charm Monster, Fear
Can the DM add Standard Spellbooks #1 and #2 to the Ship? Also we copied Dimension Door and Teleport from memory into books. Which books did we use?

So you're saying that someone will need to teleport to Barb-el-Shay (or somewhere else) to acquire the proper materials? Options: A) Travel conventionally to civilization, purchase training materials, train. B) Travel magically to civilization, purchase training materials, travel magically back to the wilderness, train. C) Pay self-training costs (x2 standard) and train in the wilderness. Is there any reason not to clear out the vault while we're there? I don't see why we shouldn't store everything in the ship at this point. If I had a lot of eggs I'd store them all in one basket. What could go wrong? Can the DM add Standard Spellbooks #1 and #2 to the Ship? Also we copied Dimension Door and Teleport from memory into books. Which books did we use? There's a whole page of items stored in the White Tower right now. Any particular reason to move just these two books to the ship? I recall Dimension Door and Teleport being copied. I'll ascertain where and update the spell roster in the Spellbook thread. |

Paavo will accept Lawgiver and agree to overthrow tyranny.
Go ahead and make the treasure allocations listed above and update the the party accounts.
We will agree to Tirian's stipend of 1000 gp/month. If Tirian is proficient with a broadsword, we would like him to teach Paavo and Grimstone in the evenings.
I forgot Vashalla was coming with us. I am fine with her training Haidar and Mary training Youssef. Go ahead and roll Youssef's days to train. Any additional time will be spent identifying items.
Finn will have to decide whether to stay on the Ship and identify items or travel ahead with Murkey.
What is the maximum carrying capacity of the Ship?
I think clearing out the Vault makes sense, however not everything will fit in the q-box or deep pockets. It would require multiple trips or selling off the non-magical items. Maybe best to just grab select items in addition to the training costs. If someone is going, let me know and I will give them a list of things to bring back.
I don't see any benefit from visiting the elves. Does Grimstone provide further explanation and/or reasoning why we should do this? We can discuss this en route.
How many gnomes and halflings are joining us?

Experience posted.Haidar recapped at 7th/7th cleric/magic-user. Finnious capped at 7th level magic-user. Oh --- is Moram Infidelbane's body going along with the other corpses? If not, what is being done with it? Paavo will accept Lawgiver and agree to overthrow tyranny. Go ahead and make the treasure allocations listed above and update the the party accounts. We will agree to Tirian's stipend of 1000 gp/month. OK. If Tirian is proficient with a broadsword, we would like him to teach Paavo and Grimstone in the evenings. He is proficient but not specialized. Paavo can't sail the ship for 8-10 hours a day and also train in a weapon proficiency. The Ship of Earth & Sea has a stamina draining effect on its pilot. Go ahead and roll Youssef's days to train. Any additional time will be spent identifying items. What is the maximum carrying capacity of the Ship? Wouldn't put a weight limit on the extradimensional space. I would think that the literal volume of items can't exceed the capacity of the 20'x20' stateroom and the 30'x30'(?) ship's hold, 10'x30' galley, crew quarters, etc. I don't see any benefit from visiting the elves. Does Grimstone provide further explanation and/or reasoning why we should do this? We can discuss this en route. They are a moderately powerful, good-aligned faction in this super high-level campaign setting who might possibly offer aid to the party at the bequest of Grimstone. There was discussion about special bows and archery training. The elves of Aegypt are quite adept in that regard. There was talk about heading south into the dangerous, dark jungles -- the elves of Aegypt definitely possess some lore about the southron lands from whence their ancestors came. How many gnomes and halflings are joining us? The party is rather bloated with henchmen. At this time only one gnome is actively seeking adventure. The halfling brothers Buffo, Bilko and Bingo(rum) will head on their merry way, maybe in the same direction but not joining the party per se.

Maybe we should write a "Standard Spellbook for Traveling" that is all of the spells you'd need if you're away from the party: Teleport, Clairvoyance, Sending, The Lesser Spell of Invaded Dreams, Comprehend Languages, Read/Write Magic, Wizard Sight, Fly, Feather Fall, Magic Missile, Sleep, Ice Storm, Mage Shield, Identify, and Invisibility
If you had all these, you'd be in very good shape with communication, transportation and defense spells. Obviously, splitting them into 3 traveling books is much more economical.

If our attempts to Locate Object on the Heart of Law and Eye of Mitra were unsuccessful, what about the 4th level Scry spell? Does that spell do any more than using a Crystal Ball? Scry works on a specific area within 36"/level of the caster. "The spell allows the caster to see and hear events with the area of effect of the spell, regardless of most obstructions. The material component for the spell is a large bonfire, pool of still water, mass of clouds, section of smooth natural stone, or quiet grove (depending on the element ,if any, favored by the caster) Upon casting the spell, the element forms a smooth polished mirror unaffected by any outside disturbance. By concentrating on this mirror, the caster can call forth any scene currently occuring within the area of effect. Standing outside a castle, the caster could scry into a pool of water to see what is transpiring within the walls of the castle. etc. etc." |

Vashalla can train Haidar in 2nd level cleric spells with materials from the White Tower at base cost. OK, let's do that first then, before the MU spells. If Haidar or Fin are looking for spells to research, they could choose some of the spells we lost when books were destroyed. When the time arrives for Haidar to train for MU spells, he will happily research spells that we once had but have since lost, or other specific spells such as the Invisibility variant or lacunae in our collective spell library, in whatever sequence Colby advises. Absent advice from Colby, he will go for the Invisibility variant and DM's choice for the rest of them (but nothing evil-aligned, and cat references a plus). There was discussion about special bows and archery training. The elves of Aegypt are quite adept in that regard. How long of a detour is it to the elves? If Nordel would rather visit the elves then maybe he should stick with the caravan and we can send Tirian as bodyguard. At a minimum, I'm sure Nordel would like to replace the strength bow that got fireballed. Are strength bows available elsewhere in Aegypt? And what sorts of archery training are we talking about in the elf lands? If a detour, accompanied by Tirian, appears practical and desirable, then I will consult with Nordel's player and let you know what he says. The halfling brothers Buffo, Bilko and Bingo(rum) will head on their merry way, maybe in the same direction but not joining the party per se. Haidar, who has no doubt heard some of Bolo's story from other party members, will tell however much he knows of it to Buffo, Bilko, and Bingo. When and where Bolo was last seen. The general belief in the party that he had lots of gems secreted about his person. His apparent generosity, benevolence, and affection for the halflings of Fenhold. That sort of thing. |

I think previously Fizzi had refused to use Resurrection and Restoration over concerns of failing his system shock from the accompanying aging. I think he could use Draw Upon Holy Might to temporarily increase his constitution by 6 points which would make it unlikely he would fail his roll. I assume age isn't a problem for him since he is well over 100 already. He probably has access to some potions of longevity. Something to keep in mind if we are in that situation again.

Haddiq will Speak With Dead on Infidelbane and explain the situation and ask him what he wants. Basically "Whereas the party mostly plans to head to Aegypt, with some teleporting to Barb-el-Shay, yada yada yada, what would you like us to do with you?"

Nordel informs me that an elven strength bow would be awesome. As would shooting 3 arrows per round. Elves, here we come.
How much cash should Nordel and Tirian take with them on their side trip to Elf Country? 2100gp for the training, but how much do we think a strength bow might run?
Also, I believe Nordel now needs to train for 1st level druid and MU spells, but I don't see that on the training cost/time list.

To be clear, Tirian is our new 10th level human fighter hireling. Tirian is going with Colby, Dan and Murkey to see the Dragon Pharoah in Istantar and hopefully get some party members raised.
Everyone else is traveling via the Ship to Aegypt. Grimstone, the 7th level elven fighter, wants us to detour from going directly to Istantar and visit the elves on the Nylle first. Paavo is fine taking the Ship to see the elves. When we visit the elves we hope to gain valuable advise regarding the Quest for the Demonspore. As well as resupply Nordel with a strength bow and get him trained in 3/1 bow. Since Nordel will be on the Ship he will have access to all of his treasure. Maybe Nordel can also get druid training while with the elves. We may leave Nordel (and others?) with the elves while the Ship and the caravan continue on to Istantar. Or if Colby & Co. are efficient, they could travel to us. We can use Sending to keep each group apprised.
Nordel could be trained by Finn on the Ship at 2x cost, but I don't see the point given everyone else has tons of training to do. Also he will probably need a fair amount of cash to purchase the strength bow.

Can Holomir not identify the lion belt and lion ring?

Holomir did not seem to know. Can Holomir tell us anything about the ring and girdle that we don't already know? When worn in combination, Mitraic relics become more powerful... |
