Re: Re: Fighting Demons

The good weapon problem can be solved if somebody of our Rogue/Fighters took Use Magic Device. Bane weapons (now again only +1 enhancement) might also help.

Why, oh why, there isn't a Mass Align Weapon spell?

Oil (i.e. Potions) of 'Bless Weapon' (100gp) or 'Align Weapon [Good]' (300gp) should be able to get the job done.

Question is, how do we acquire significant quantities of either?

if those are prices why don't we just buy them?

Price doesn't necessarily correleate to availability. I'd imagine we're going to have a hard time finding a LG Paladin who'd be willing to produce/sell the Bless Weapon oil to us down here in Mentol Derith. (Same goes for finding a good cleric to produce the Align Weapon oil...)

well we are in a trade city that even deals with the upperworld, if we can get them aniwhere it should be here. I am not that hot for a trip to the surface to get them. Well actualy I am not that hot to fight all those demons at all...

 

[Endur]

Holy Weapons, Bless Weapon Oil, and Align Good Oil are non-existant in Menzoberanzan.

In Mantol-Derith, it might be possible to commission a merchant to "special order" some (i.e. hire thieves to go raid a surface temple), however, none of the merchants have any quantities on hand.

Currently, all of the merchants in Mantol-Derith are "evil" ... drow, duergar, orcs, ogre magi, evil humans, etc.

There used to be some deep gnome merchants, but they were enslaved or slain.

 

[Pyrex]

Darn. I was afraid you were going to say that.

Hmm, new plan.

Step 1: Kidnap a cleric...

 

[Pyrex]

So, Endur, what is the Lolth-approved method of penetrating demonic DR?

(I'm hoping there's an answer that's not "Hit 'em real hard".)

 

[Prince Atom]

Well, since She is a demon herself, I don't think she'd tell us all her secrets. She's probably more likely to tell us how to make a devil's day really bad

That's the problem with evil groups: they can take out good groups really well, but they have to scramble to get weapons to guard against the inevitable backstabbing that their "allies" have planned....

This is a mindbender, and no mistake. How to defeat an evil outsider's DR when you yourself are vulnerable to the same weapons? I'm going to scratch myself bald over this.

Perhaps we'd all better consult our doctors about getting alignment jobs

[Endur]

The Lolth-approved method of penetrating demonic DR is to:
a) negotiate with them; and
b) trick them; and when all else fails
c) sneak attack them.

Seriously, you probably could ask Lady Yyssiryl or other merchants to keep on the look out for good-aligned weapons. I just don't want you to get your hopes up.

Also, some outsiders are vulnerable to particular materials: cold iron, silver, etc. All of the special materials are available in the Underdark.

Eek, I'd really rather not wield an actual 'Holy' weapon. Negative levels == Bad.

I guess I'll just have to get creative.
