OOC: House Millithor in COSQ part 3

[Endur]

Yes, that is his conclusion, but you are certain you are much better than him.

Oh, we will. Quertus is just waiting to get selling loot and going shopping.

And btw, who does Nobruzzal think as the second wisest and greatest mage in the world? Himself?

 

[Pyrex]

Anyone else amused by the irony of the Matron building an undead army to attack Irae?

Seriously though, Serp, Irae is an epic cleric. Are you sure bringing a batch of low hit-die wraiths to the party is a good idea?

Anyone else amused by the fact that while trying to stay away from changing faith to the undead-worshipping Kiriansalists, 1 of the party has become a vampire, while one was reanimated as a wraith, and one House Wizard is seeking Lichdom?

Well, they're just wraiths. If Irae bothers to waste action to turn them instead of dropping Destruction or something at the party, I'd call it a good trade. I mean, she's going to have some nice spells of mass destruction coming her way then.

...Not to mention the rest of the party.

 

[Endur]

The Wraiths can actually do damage to Irae since she is still among the living. The Wraiths really can't do much damage to Matron Ki'Willis even if they revolt since her undead body is immune to the damage that wraiths can inflict.

[Pyrex]

I'm not worried about them being rebuked. I'm worried about them being commanded to attack us.

 

[Pyrex]

The wraiths may be ineffective against the Matron & Torellan, but a half-dozen wraiths commanded against the party could be a problem for those of us who are still alive...

Maybe the living should look to see what kind of undead template they like best.

I would have changed faith by now, if I hadn't been turned into a Revenant. That would have gained us a powerful ally, and an easy access to Irae. We could have usurped power over the remaining Kiaransalites once we got rid of the High-Priestess and established our dominance in the castle the Goddess would have had no choice but to make Ki'Willis her proxy on Toril, or see all her plans irreversably wrecked.

True, but the army's main purpose isn't to fight Irae personally, although it can sertainly be used for that too. It's meant primarily to kill off her lesser servants and even our numerical inferiority on the battlefield. They are far more expendable than Irae's forces are likely to be.
Another use could be to massacre a few of the (relatively unprotected by Underdark standards) cities in the Dales, securing huge amounts of wealth and drastically increasing the army's numbers. That might make us a lot of very powerful enemies, who currently couldn't care less about our paltry forces. And it might be a foolish thing to do, at least not without powerful allies to back us up.
Nah, better to use it to clear out Maerimidrya. Irae is probably controlling all the undead she's capable of already, so at least we won't be increasing her power.

And since Wraiths are incorporeal they don't take up any space and I can keep the elders in her spare Portable Hole, where they are safe from all damage.

Ah yes the most useful magic item ever made.

I'll level up Kilcif when I get home from work today. I'm think it's a ranger level.
