[QUOTE="Archade, post: 1120293, member: 7654"] Hey Barendd! Looks like you're only one session behind me! My guys hit the ooze alter two weeks ago. Unfortunately, they weren't familiar with ooze traits, and after the first round of hacking, there were five black puddings! It dissolved the other rogue in the party (who's now come back as a Githzeri Fighter/Rogue, who's Rakkama got pasted in Manezene, but that's another story). Since you're right about where I am, here's my quandry; what's Susztam going to get out of killing the surfacers? I imagine Velasta and Dorina have politicial leverage to get the Inverted Tower to send a wizard with the Hunter Killer Team, and Solom would tell Susztam he has to go, and Susztam would go grudgingly. He dreams of usurping Solom, and is no slouch in the wizard department, but won't try anything when Solom is watching him. Here's a couple of thoughts: - I like the vampire halfling ruse! What I'm thinking is Susztam would take the corpse to Velina, get info on the party via Speak with Dead, and then Animate Dead the corpse as a Zombie, which Susztam can cast an illusion on to look like a vampire, and maybe pump it up with a Stoneskin and mage armor, and keep him around as a bodyguard, or give him to Velina as a new toy. - Susztam could try to convince the party to kill Solom - tricky, but sneaky, can could get him the archmage job. - Susztam could try to hunt the party down, and kill them one by one, but I keep asking 'why would he be interested in doing that'? Any other ideas? [/QUOTE]
