[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 8173540, member: 42856"] I think the only one that wasn't seriously thrashed for lack of any action on his part until now is this one: Except of course that it was his best pre-attack ability. Right now, on the day 1 of his assassination of Binky, his active spells are a (partially expanded because of high level spell uses) twinned Simulacrum, twinned wished mind blank. I guess he could cast Armor of Agathys and Pass without trace at once and try to flee the scene on foot. Technically, despite depleted spell slots, he could conceivably cast Demiplane, Teleport or Planeshift to move away. Demiplane would trap him inside and leave him vulnerable on his day of return to the prime material plane, and previous discussions showed it wasn't happy with being so depleted when getting back... So it should be ruled out. Planeshifting from the Prime... well... would he really want to land anywhere, potentially in the middle of an hostile area, on another plane? Getting back home through teleportation seem to be the best move to get away. Since it's a one-vs-one scenario, he can't really teleport to a Bhaal temple full of allies, so let's say he either go on foot to a secluded spot in the forest 10 km away or he teleported to his grotto, 1,000 km away. Since the first exposes him to being found by a methodical search set up by the villagers, logic dictates he'd choose to teleport. Note that his Contingency is expanded as as soon as he attacked, an enemy, also known as victim, detected him and it triggered the Contingency... he didn't become invisible because he hadn't been able to cast Greater Invisibility at the time of casting Contingency, though. He's currently mind blanked for two or three hours, depending on how long it took his carriage to reach Binky, but it will soon expire. Even if he starts a Long Rest right now, he'll be scryable easily for 5 hours. As was postulated before, since the contest can only start when either the Lazy One is in his "regular state" with spells he maintains all the time, or when he has ACTED because there is no reason to expand resource going after a guy who poses NO threat whatsoever, finding him in his semi-exhausted state, both states had to be provided. I hope this temporary impersonation of the Bastion of Law (who just murdered a random guy on the street) was acceptable for the sake of continuing the discussion. (A few days later, after the end of the episode which featured, hopefully, a successful elimination of the murderer, and the credits rolled) Alfred: "432? I need 25,000 gp of non-magical material, in the specific form of a diamond worth this price." Butler: "Yes Master, I wish for it... Drat, it looks like I will be unable to cast Wish thereafter, Master." Alfred: "Here, Ed, can you cast True Resurrection on Binky?" Ed: "Of course! Just give me an hour to read the Book of Life." Alfred: "What are the uses for all those diamonds, by the way?" Ed: "It's to build dragon lairs. They are common on the upper planes and you need a bare minimum of amenities to house dragons.
