You Moorcock fan you. That's amusing.

I would also like to suggest that a new thread be created when the characters and encounters are finalized. (Perhaps a deadline should be set.) The initial post should have links back to each of the characters that are in play, organized by party (if applicable), plus the rules for the debate. This thread as a whole should be linked as well for reference perhaps with the expository and interaction posts linked as well (if anyone's feeling ambitious).
Following that, encounters get posted one at a time and game on!
That sounds like a good idea. There does need to be a way of at least indexing the posts here.
For the character sheets, if they get updated, do we need to preserve an audit trail, with every version archived, or we just need a quick way to link to the most recent version of each?
I can't imagine they will change much if at all tbhI would say final versions only.
Okay. How about post somewhere with a static index of links to the five posts as they stand now, and if and when we update our sheets, we edit them in place rather than posting new copies?I would say final versions only.
Edward doesn't know the Teleportation Circle spell. Would it help us get started if I substitute it for one of his other prepared spells? Otherwise, short of begging a scroll from Myrkyn, the whole adventure may not be viable.
I've seen [MENTION=5834]Celtavian[/MENTION]'s list of recommended spells and it includes Teleport (7th level). That would work too, but it would use up Edward's only 7th level slot (He's only 13th level, remember) and he can't recover that slot without a long rest, which is not going to be possible. If we're okay with him burning up his top slot just to get somewhere that isn't actually where we want to be, I can rewrite him accordingly, if that's allowed now that the scenario information is being released.
The simplest is to hand-wave it and say that Edward (after he's finished the ritual) used a 5th-level slot getting the party to the dracolich lair.
With friends like this, who needs enemies?
Edward asks Myrkyn: "Is there perhaps a teleportation circle in the king's palace somewhere, that we could use to reach the one in the dracolich lair? You see, I don't have a suitable spell handy, and we haven't got time to walk, obviously? And, by the way, Jubali thinks you're lying to us, don't you dear? You aren't, are you?"
Bedrock says to Edward: "Now, now, Edward, there's no need to be undiplomatic. I'm sure The Venerable Myrkyn is aware that I could cast a Zone of Truth spell if I chose. I think we should all assume that we are on the same side here." and looks around for general assent.
