The Crux of the Matter

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, I think the best you can do at that point is Wish..." Senex replies quietly.

"Baleful Polymorph is permanent, but it is still a spell effect, it can be dispel spell to remove it, no?." tells Rinaldo

"If Tenebrynn can... pass the... night, I could... restore some of the... drain he had been... victim." tells Hogarth.

"Yeah? It would help?" asks Rinaldo.

"To... stabilize his... form... I think so." answers Hogarth.

[SBLOCk=OOC]Here my suggestion, Tenebrynn use the potion to pass the night (we don't have much choice). Hogarth cast lesser restoration so Tenebrynn can recover his lost Charisma for his check.

If we want, we could even allow Tenebrynn to rest. Senex could cast Baleful Polymorph so Tenebrynn can rest. Once he awaken, he study his spells and before leaving, Senex dispel the baleful Polymorph. We go and get the Crux and after that, I think the best chance would be Senex to cast again Baleful Polymorph before exiting that tower, so Tenebrynn would be able to sruvive until we got to Orussus where we will be able to dispel his state and restore his form.[/SBLOCK]

(OOC: Funny story--Lesser Restoration doesn't cover ability drain, only temporary damage A full Restoration takes care of everything though )

(That would involve two rest periods, though, as Senex said that he currently doesn't have the spell prepared. I did not get the impression that the many Valsices are that patient. Especially not SarcasmGuile.)

I thought the Charisma was ability damage and wisdom was drained (damage = temporay, drained = permanent).[/SBLOCK]

(OOC: Both are permanent drain. As a sidenote, Chaos Beast + Ghost Template (choose the Charisma Drain power from the list of special attacks) has a remarkably deadly synergy with itself. If it weren't for being incredibly wimpy and having low HP indeed for its CR, it would be fearsome indeed)

(OOC: They can be patient if they have to. You would have a bit of cabin fever too if you were stuck in a tiny extradimensional hideaway for the better part of eight years Especially if you were Guile and you were stuck in that hideaway with Joy But they waited this long--they can wait a few more days if need be: It's not like you're giving Eve a particularly large advantage by waiting; everything is waiting on your unsealing the upper tower, so the only difference if you wait is that the Oversoul will eventually reform, which doesn't matter if you don't go bother it.

However, if you unseal the upper area, that patience is gone and all the aspects will recommend maximal haste!)

(ooc: if Baleful polymorph stabilizes Tenebrynn, will dispelling it automatically put him back in the same situation or will it return him to his proper form?)

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: It will put him back in the bad situation. Baleful Polymorph only stabilises him by virtue of forcing him to keep a stable form)

 

[Erekose13]

(ooc: but it would allow him to sleep peacefully, advance in level, then once he is awake he could have it dispelled, right?)
