[QUOTE="Satin Knights, post: 6139558, member: 6666968"] The wisps chitter for a second between each other, then form up in a cyclone like shape swirling around one another as they head down the northern stairwell. [sblock=ooc]Pulling and quaffing the potion takes this round's actions, so the chase can start next round. It takes an hour per spell level to write a spell into a spell book. The spells you automatically know from leveling are just stuck in your head as "almost finished" until you actually write them down in a book as a final "recipe". So, you can write them in without taking the time to learn them from another source. Learning a spell from one of the scrolls or other books you have found so far will take an hour per spell. Considering the amulet he is wearing, he can do 7th level spells without bothering with a spellcraft check. Normally, Relic would need special inks to record his spells. But, gee, he has a special book all wrapped up in a nice pretty package. A `Blessed Book' doesn't need ink, only pen put to paper. Short Anwer: 8 hours to record the first two spells mentioned with no material costs. I had this imp all worked up and ready when you were here last time. Since an outsider can make a charisma check once a day to break free, any larger demon or devil would have been able to break out on an effective take 20 long before you were born. This poor guy just couldn't do it. The wizard that had trapped it was taking advantage of its augury once a day and [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?322026-LPF-The-Forbidden-Isle-of-Ancient-Secrets&p=6074213&viewfull=1#post6074213"]commune[/URL] once a week. And in all those centuries of contacting other planes, he never found anyone who would take pity on him and send something to set him free. If you had figured out what he was and kept him penned up, you could have asked questions of him as well, although the truth of the answers may have been questionable. He would have bargained anything to get free. As to killing him permanently, well, all I could find that can summon an "unwilling" outsider is Gate. If you can cast Gate, you can cast the other ultimate spell. Hence, reality rewriter. When you came back and started the storm of casting every buff you had, I was giggling hysterically. ;) Then Relic's actions were chosen quite clear, counter to the planning and well, oops.:blush: :lol: It took me a while before I could even write up the response. Once he stops running, the poor little imp is going to have to stop and ponder if the "Wizard of Oz" act was an actual attack or not, and if you executed your half of the deal. That might actually put him in a quandary for a few minutes. :devil:[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
