I forget).  Perhaps we can barter for it or steal it from Eike.  With that done, if we cannot defeat him, I can dismiss him from the plane of the Gloom, As I did the Nightshade.  If it succeeds - which is not guaranteed - we will not know to which plane Eike will be dismissed.  But, doing so is swift and will allow us an opportunity to retreat and regroup.  Eventually, if we choose to hunt him down, I can attempt to divine his location.  It will take time, and Eike will become more powerful - but we, too, shall be more powerful."It was the plan of an elf.  A being that had one thousand years to wait."But if we choose to do this - even as a contingency - it would be helpful to acquire some of his blood, or an item or, even a hair so that I may have a material link to him."[SPOILER="OOC"]TL;DRSo yeah, contingency plan to get the item we want(using stealth, slight of hand, Diplomacy or whatever) and dismiss Eike from the Gloom.  Then we can GTFO and track him down later.  Especially if killing him in the Gloom will make him more powerful.[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
