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

[Nightbreeze]

@Psion: I'll befriend and awaken a normal eagle. Will use him as an intelligent scout

Gotcha.

ALL:

Assuming you follow this lead and head out for the wizard's demesne, I need some basic things decided upon and codified:
- Party marching order (just expand on what you already had with Davreya in mind.)
- Watches and any other camp precautions or nightly preparations.

Reisa(sp?) - presume Large?
Garrel Doorgath
Ari Peja

or


Garrel Doorgath
Reisa
Ari Peja


single?

Garrel
Reisa
Doorgath
Ari
Peja

Working off of Fenris2's ideas, I'd suggest the following marching order for when we're marching double ranks:

First row: Garrel & Doorgath
Second row: Reisa (takes up two spaces)
Third row: Ari & Davreya
Fourth row: Kullrund & Peja

Weaker casters are in the middle, with a warrior in both the front and back rows for protection. I thought about putting Reisa in front, but it seems to me we might want Garrel's sharp eyes up there instead. And Doorgath needs to be close to Reisa to lead and protect her.

For single file, I suggest the following:

Garrel
Reisa
Doorgath
Davreya
Ari
Peja
Kullrund

Davreya will cast Alarm around the campsite each night, with the mental alarm option (He'll be swapping out one of his memorized Identify spells for the duration of this journey). Beyond that, setting up a watch might be a good idea as well. I suggest two people at a time, each taking a three-hour shift.

Does that sound good to everybody? Assume that Davreya suggests all of this in character.

Seems good.

Watch wise we want DV capables on each watch so...

Garrel and (Ari or Daverya)
Doorgath and Reisa
Peji and Kullrund

This came up on the IC thread, but I am pretty sure scrying is negligible cost after you have the focus, which Garrel does. Foci being reusable and all as per SRD anyway

>>
Focus (F)
A focus component is a prop of some sort. Unlike a material component, a focus is not consumed when the spell is cast and can be reused. As with material components, the cost for a focus is negligible unless a price is given. Assume that focus components of negligible cost are in your spell component pouch.

So I think we can try it cheap. . .

Could be a problem for Doorgath if he has to recover any spells.

True enough... once the focus is purchased. Remember, focuses are different for clerics, druids, and arcane casters.

Doorgath potentially has the cheapest focus of all.

Good point. Doorgath only needs a pool of clean water--Davreya needs a silver mirror worh at least 1,000 gp. Of course, another problem with Scrying is that it has to target a creature, which could be tricky in our current situation.

Arcane Eye is the other option I was thinking of, but it's shorter range. I was also thinking that Doorgath might be able to have his new pet eagle fly over the area and give us a report.

Eh why so? We rather be where he is now, not where he may be right? So... Target the evil D man with scry, and then make with the teleport, arrive and lay out some smack down. Somewhere in there we best confirm he is evil of ocurse, but divinaiotn and so on can help with that... If it does not work, well we have lost little in trying and may save ourselves soem days of travel to a place he no longer (or never was) at.

Also, with "create water", Doorgath can create a pool of water almost anywhere.
