OOC: House Millithor in COSQ part 3

[Xael]

We could try disarming Lilacor, Dominating Minsc, and having him attack the Axebane, since no one else has the melee capabilities to bring down a Bhaal-child.

Just how do you plan to get that thing off the hands of character with 38 strength? :\

Hmm... Grease...

Besides, I doubt that he's packing that Hammer of Thunderbolts just for nothing.

 

[Xael]

And if they're flying, a (Greater) Dispel Magic works wonders.
Too bad nobody has anything big summonable for the battle. A big nasty grappling with either of the two would take the character out for a while, especially considering that their weapons don't exactly count as light.

*sniff* My precious Elementals...

Would Zieggrek suffice as a replacement?

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Telekinesis, or someone stealthy grabbing it, when he's wielding Crom Faeyr, so it's not an opposed Str roll.

 

[Serpenteye]

I wonder what happened to all of Narcelia's goodies . . . I doubt the Matron will be incredibly pleased or willing to re-purchase all of her equipment, or even half of it. I'm hoping the stuff'll just appear somewhere, like she did.

We'll get you some new stuff, perhaps not as much as what you had but enough to make you a useful character again.

How about an exact list of which PCs are going to invade the Commoner level?

I think the list of PCs would be: Matron Ki'Willis, Tierak, Zieggrek, Torellan, Dariel, and maybe Quertus.

Yes, that's it.

Anyhow, I'm curious of a few things... one of which doesn't matter now.

2) In post 338 the Matron says she wants the Mithral armor back... Now did that included the shields?

I guess so... I wasn't the matron back then but it makes more sense that way.

Telekinesis, or someone stealthy grabbing it, when he's wielding Crom Faeyr, so it's not an opposed Str roll.

I don't think he gets the immunity to domination if he's not actually wielding Lilarcor.
Massive Domination attempts are an excellent tactic. One of the heroes are almost guaranteed to fail their save when we have 10 vampires trying to Dominate them every round. Minsc, Imoen and Nalia shouldn't have very impressive will saves.

There was no Fly spell in Baldur's Gate, but I think it's probable that they have access to flight. If they don't they are screwed, and we shall most certainly fight them in the chasm.

We'll need to resolve the Rebellion first, then Edwin's execution, then the Hero Feast.

 

[Serpenteye]

Perhaps a fight in the chasm would be preferrable wether or not the heroes are flying. This is how I envision it...
1. Most of the Vampires gather high above the chasm (out of range of darkvision and True Seeing) in Dire Bat form and begin summoning a lot of swarms of bats. Tierak and the Bebiliths wait below.
2. The rest of our force prepares in the Noble Level, Vampires in the front ( some of them in Bat form), the Guards in the back, and the PCs in the middle.
3. When the Heroes arrive, wether flying or climbing, our vampire bats will detect them with echolocation and raise a supersonic scream that will alert the Dire Bats above but be inaudible to the Heroes. We will be notified trough the telepathic links some of the vampires have with our dominated Guards. The Dire Bats will then dive at full speed down at the Heroes. Wether our enemies are flying or climbing most of them cannot help but be torn away by 200 pounds of Bat crashing into them from 130 feet up. They are also going to take quite a bit of damage from our self-navigating missiles. 13d6 per Bat to be exact

FALLING OBJECTS
For each 200 pounds of an object’s weight, the object deals 1d6 points of damage, provided it falls at least 10 feet. Distance also comes into play, adding an additional 1d6 points of damage for every 10-foot increment it falls beyond the first (to a maximum of 20d6 points of damage).

The Vampires will go gaseous before they hit the water and Tierak and the Bebiliths will be waiting for any fallen heroes who hit the water. The Bebs should do well in underwater combat.

Then the real battle starts

I guess so... I wasn't the matron back then but it makes more sense that way.

True but he had been using one of the shields for a few long time, and since he was dominated he probably fallowed her orders to the letter... A shield is a shield not armor.

Endur, what do you think?

 

[Serpenteye]

True but he had been using one of the shields for a few long time, and since he was dominated he probably fallowed her orders to the letter... A shield is a shield not armor.

If you are using the item you can keep it, the Matron would have wanted you to be an effective combatant. If you just kept it to sell later she would have wanted it.

In other words, you can keep one shield.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

In other words, you can keep one shield.

Well that would be appreciated.

 

[Seonaid]

We'll get you some new stuff, perhaps not as much as what you had but enough to make you a useful character again.

I know, but I have a feeling the Matron isn't going to like Narcelia trotting in basically naked and saying, "No, Mother, I have no idea what happened to me, and I have no idea if what I dreamt was real or not." (That is, if she actually admits anything.)

Narcelia is going to come out of this experience much less than unscathed. The loss of her scourge, and the continual absence of Lolth, will affect her greatly. I'm not sure what exactly she will do, but I imagine either 1) a conversion or 2) a new PC, possibly both. Of course, it may be she'll see some "signs" and return with her faith in Lolth renewed. It depends on what happens in the next few in-game days.

 

[Seonaid]

I like the battle plan. I like it even more since I won't be there. Either the House comes out victorious or there's a new Matron. Narcelia wins.
