OOC - Graverended Grimoire (House Millithor in the City of the Spider Queen V)

[Paxus Asclepius]

Go ahead with the arachnoid bladebreaker then Paxus. And what book and page are Myrlochar on?

Monsters of Faerun, page 66.

What is the current population of Menzoberranzan? I'm vague on the answer for this, but I can tell you that Menzo should have survived the War of the Spider Queen (including Groomph). The actual answer is in book six of the War of the Spider Queen (which will be published this fall? next spring?).

Menzoberranzan had 20,000 drow before they attacked the Mithril Hall. They lost few thousand in the battles there, and then there was the slave revolt and the duergar attack. But I'd still wager that there's at least 10,000 drow left.

Plus slaves. Lots of slaves.

No. I may ride the Tarrasque, but you may not.

Can I charm/dominate the Tarrasque? Or maybe I should do something like I heard on the D&D boards: Use Trap The Soul at Tarrasque and make the gem my phylactery.



Name & Title: Quertus Millithor, House Wizard (Not born into Millithor family)
Race: Drow
Alignment: Lawful Evil (Fits better than CE IMHO)
Classes and level: Wizard 16/Archmage 2

History prior: Quertus spend a lot of time mainly following Matron and the priestresses around and doing what he was told. He helped the party in robbing Laral's, and then took part in a raid to the surface from Szith Morcane. He helped capturing Randal Morn, the leader of Daggerdale (and killed his lover or something btw), but Morn was killed by poison later.

Quertus spend a lot of time in Szith Morcane with the present Archmage, Solom Nez-something, and his Lich-brother Eilos. He also gained a Quasit familiar named Icho from Solom. Solom and Eilos retreated when the Balor attacked. Quertus teleported away with what was left of the party when Matron and some others (including Kilcif) were slain by the Balors.

History after: Quertus spend the year doing magical research and doing whatever needed to help the house(s) and himself. Killed Quasit familiar Icho. He's probably helped in whatever plans the priestresses (or other party members) have had. He is interested in claiming as much power as possible, and would probably have tried to seize control of what was left of the Inverted Tower (Solom's base, Wizard School) in Szith Morcane since it should be now empty. He's also eager to build/conquer a new base from anywhere else (Ched Nasad, Maerimyda, Menzoberranzan?). He would also like to kill a number of people, but that's not his top priority, unless they decide to harass him.

People Wanted Dead: Solom Nez-something, Eilos Millithor, Laral, Errtu the Balor, the Ancient Red Dragon in the Duergar city.

Party relationships: Nothing particular, mainly does what priestresses tell him to do. Considers Torellan his most trustworty assistant.

Slaves/Servants: If you don't count the rest of the party, probably nothing unless he has managed to Charm/Dominate/Summon anything. Use of Dominate Monster, Mass Charm Monster and Greater Planar Binding could of course have gained him some servants.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Bro, got to and responded to your e-mail.

Yup, and I've responded like twice today also. (Including one a little before 11 or so.) Just an FYI, no rush.

Edit: Oh yeah I went and downloaded the SRD... I wasn't quoting from memory for very long.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Bro, I just shot you an e-mail. I hope you have MS Word.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

As for dominated and mass charmed lackies... Lemme ask you a question, what do you ask these charmed guys to do? What do you tend to charm? Do you tend to them at all (give them food or weapons)? Do you reward them? Do you punish them? If so how? And if you did do your dominating and charming stuff, how many charmed/dominated critters could you get and maintain? How long do your spells last?

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Bro, I just shot you an e-mail. I hope you have MS Word.

You ask me this after I make a pdf for you? Honesty, I would be much of a computer geek if I didn't... (Office 2000)

I sent you two emails, one in reply to the orginal and another with some magic item ideas.

As for dominated and mass charmed lackies... Lemme ask you a question, what do you ask these charmed guys to do?

No idea, since we don't really know what we're doing yet. If we decide to take over a destroyed city, I'd probably ask them to do whatever they want in the city but report possible enemies/invaders to me. And possibly use them as construction workers and general helpers.

What do you tend to charm?

Heh, no idea. Depends on what Quertus can find. Usually something not really dangerous (no Dragon hunting).

Do you tend to them at all (give them food or weapons)? Do you reward them? Do you punish them? If so how?

Depends. No idea really. I'd quess they could tend to themselves somewhat (food) since they've survived this long. Extreme punishing might danger the Charmed condition, so it should be used very sparingly, and I'm not rewarding anybody unless they deserve it.

And if you did do your dominating and charming stuff, how many charmed/dominated critters could you get and maintain?

Theoretically a large amount (quite easily over a hundred goblins for example) of Charmed creatures, and few Dominated. I can charm 36 HD worth of things with one casting of Mass Chram Monster if they're close enough to each other. Torellan could (again, theoretially) Dominate unlimited number of people.

How long do your spells last?

1 day per caster level, so 18 days per casting.

I've put my cohort, familiar, and mount up on the character sheet; tell me if there are any terrible inaccuracies, or math that needs more spelling out. It's late, and my coherence may be less than I think it is.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Meh, I'm getting equally incoherant at this point. I'll look over the things tomorrow, but I'm leaving most of the math up to you. My only request would be to please outfit your cohort (and because I let another person do it, you can outfit him with as much as a PC of its level would be), and give all of your extra people a name. And maybe a one-sentence personality, so if I have to roleplay them I have a hint.

Personality and name can come up tonight; adding in the cohort's extra EQ will take a good while longer, but should be done by mid-afternoon tomorrow.
