[OOC] House Millithor in City of the Spider Queen

[Serpenteye]

But isn't that also a good reason to get rid of them as quickly as possible?

Possibly, but we do not know how many of their friends know and finding out would inevitably bring us into a conflict we could not pull out of unless every one of them dies. If we fail we will have to leave town fast before it erupts into chaos. Our entire mission could be jeopardized. At the very least we must conclude our business in Menthol Derith before we attack them.

Starting a Fight

Anytime someone wants to fight in the arena, all they have to do is:

1) Walk up to somebody and challenge them to a fight, if they agree, you both go into the arena and start fighting;
2) Walk into the arena and challenge anyone willing to fight them. As soon as someone enters the arena, the challenge has been accepted and the fight begins.

Sorry, I'm a perfectionist. That's a really bad habit of mine, made worse by the fact that I'm sloppy.

Everybody makes mistakes. I forgot that Torellan wouldn't have a clue regarding Quertus's speculations on his chances against the troll.

The females notice Jena is very good at using subtle facial and body gestures.

For what the males notice, see the Playing the Game post, and imagine more of the same, only from the other side, as she walks back to Laral.

And thanks to Endur for helping flesh out a really fun character! He is so evil! *Shiver*

There is currently one Illithid sitting in the arena audience next to a couple of Grimlocks.

There are probably other Illithids elsewhere in Mantol Derith.

Possibly, but we do not know how many of their friends know and finding out would inevitably bring us into a conflict we could not pull out of unless every one of them dies.

OOC: You know, it would be much easier to just cast Disintegrate on the diamond and turn it to dust...

Perhaps, but you needed to buy other stuff anyway, the Matron didn't know which spells Quertus had prepared and probably wouldn't want him to waste a spell that might be needed later. She prefers to face any attackers with as much as possible of our power intact, Mantol Derith is not exactly a safe place. Since there's no actual profit in making the components yourself her decision seemed a good one.

Poison is available from several of the merchants in Mantol Derith. You could get doses from the independent merchants, or buy them from one of the bar tenders in Laral's establishment, or from one of Lady Yyssiriryl's underlings.

Poisons: p. 297 in the DMG (3.5) or whatever page number in the DMG (3.0)

Poisons that cost more than 1000 gp per dose and purple worm poison are available only with special permission. i.e. they might be for sale, but nobody is advertising them.

Dariel was able to find both the Large Scorpion venom and Giant Wasp poison.
