[QUOTE="JohnBrown, post: 80851, member: 2243"] [b]Edena, question[/b] Edena, This very important, and this is going to take some set up so please read this carefully. It requires a ruling on your part because it makes assumptions and twists some possible loopholes in the rules. None of this will happen if Iuz doesn’t feel there is no chance for success. Nearly a century ago, Iuz was trapped by Zagyg under Zagyg’s castle. This had to been done without the benefit of 10th level magic (here comes the rule twisting part…:) ). Why, because if it was done with 10th level magic, whomever has him as an NPC would also have to have access to 10th level magic. Now, it stands to reason over the last few decades after Iuz’s release, he would of spent time studying exactly how Zagyg trapped him if for no other reason to prevent it from happening to him again. So, it is reasonable (at least to me :) ) to assume that Iuz knows how to do the same thing. If you rule this is the case, the following will happen: 1. Iuz will order an attack by his troops on the Domain of Greyhawk to cause a diversion (The troops of William Roland and Turrosh Mak were also supposed to attack as well, but neither gave me the ability to speak for them). 2. Then using his best abilities to shield his mind (actually I am assuming that Iuz is already doing that), he will teleport without error into Zagyg’s tower (according to the modules the Ruins of Greyhawk there is no shielding preventing him from doing so). 3. He will magically mend the globe that once held him (at task that should be easy for a 7PL demigod). 4. Cast the spell, thus entrapping Vecna! :) 5. While he is at it he will mend the other globes that held the other demigods and entrap the various Shade leaders as well. Again, I realize that I am twisting the rules here a little bit, that is why I need a ruling from you. If Iuz feels that there is no chance for success at this, these actions do not take place. Also some indication on what kind of PL points we are looking at in the Shade/Vecna Armies would really help (Its not like they are hiding or anything :) ) Edit: Zagyg has said he would lend his assistance, if that helps any....
