Message: <blockquote data-quote="chitzk0i" data-source="post: 2437784" data-attributes="member: 34584">I'm in a game where (almost) all the party members are monks of various orders. I'm the party wizard (level 14) and so far haven't gotten much time to learn new spells. Even so, I'm saving the party's collective butt. I'm the only one capable of doing cold damage and we've been up against fire giants and half-fiend hobgoblins. We are transporting a powerful artifact a very long distance. Last session was crappy. I got rushed into six months of training for my next level, so all I need is the XP. I wanted to craft a flying carpet to move faster, but we discovered that the artifact dispells any magic items in close proximity to it (also no teleporting). We get a message telling us to use an ancient, underground highway in order to expedite arrival of the artifact. While I'm pondering a way to craft an item so the magic bit is out of reach of the dispelling effect, zoom, we depart. So. We get to the Underpass, get inside, and the door closes behind us. This is where the vow of poverty comes in. Nobody carries any more than what they absolutely need, so we're underground with no torches. The cantrip Light lasts 3 1/2 hours, and I can Extend that to 7. During our first night there was an incident that ended with the death of our guide. We don't know what happened. We are facing hundreds or thousands of miles of travel here. My question is this: what can I do? I'm kicking myself for forgetting to bring light sources, but I was distracted by plans for a flying machine. I'm thinking we turn around so I can learn spells, make torches, etc., and craft some transportation.</blockquote>
