(Inactive) Psion's Return to the Tomb of Horrors (OOC)

[nonamazing]

"So, um, is anyone going to scry?"

If anyone is going to Scry, it would have to be Doorgath--due to money issues as much as anything else. Davreya isn't willing to try the scrying spell (he thinks it's too risky) but he'll be right there to back up Doorgath if the dwarf can't be convinced not to scry.

If you are going to use your Awakened friend as a scout, I rolled these results:
3d6=13, 1d3=2
(13 int, +2 cha)

With 2 more HD and maxed out spot, it would have +18 spot check.

All:
Please make a decision on whether or not you will be marching and any scrying/teleporting you will do.

I vote we teleport. Maybe take two days to do it if Peja is the only one with that spell.

Okay, but recall that since you have never seen the location before, greater teleport will be required. You only get one domain slot and I am fairly certain you are the only one with a high enough caster level to even have access to the spell. So it should only take you one greater teleport (but will, of course, be used for the day.)

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Yeah, I'd banked on Greater Teleport. But since Reisha is size category large, I think it will take Peja two days to do it. He can get one person plus one person for every 3 spellcaster levels he has, and large creatures count as two.

Don't know if this might help much, but recall that I allow you to use the Relics & Rituals ritual casting rules. If you can afford the ritual components, you have many casters in your party. You can boost your caster level quite a bit.

Thanks for reminding me. Peja's pretty broke at the moment, but maybe some of the others have some cash. I'll look up R and R later today to get an exact fix on the cost for that. As a meta comment, I'm all for teleporting if it gets us the action quicker. Right now I have Peja saying he wants to walk in the IC but I could go either way and would happily teleport everyone as long as Doorgath consents.

I've got lots of cash....but I don't really know how ritual works.

I agree with CB here. IC, Kull would like to walk but I'm happy to teleport if it speeds things up and gets us in the thick of things quicker.

Use Combined ritual magic rules- I use concentration check, with a synergy bonus from spellcraft and knowledge(arcana), instead of requiring a new ritual casting skill.

Using the combined ritual magic rules, you add 1/3 caster levels of participants with the same class, +1/4 caster levels with the same TYPE (arcane or divine), +1/5 caster levels of those with different type, +1 per participant who can actually cast the spell.

Time: for a standard action spell, 3 min x spell level x participants.
Cost: 10 gp x spell level x participants.

Assuming all your casters participate:
Peja - leader, cleric 14
Garrel - cleric 11
Doorgath - other divine, 14
Ari - arcane 13
Davreya - arcane 8

Bonus caster levels = 11 (must be distributed among all possible effects; I assume you'll have more than enough to cover Reisha)

Ritual time: 3 minutes x 5 participants x 7th level = 105 minutes. > 1 hour, so 2 ritual casting checks will be needed.

Cost: 10 gp x 5 x 7 = 350 gp. I would assume the components could be had in town.
