OOC: House Millithor in COSQ part 4

[Xael]

If Quertus wanted to, he has the skills to be involved in designing the trap. He also realizes, though, that the work is time-consuming, and if you are near the trap, quite dangerous.

How time-consuming? Is it going to prohibit Quertus' spell-learning process for a week or something? And about everything seems to be dangerous around here.

Oh yeah, and I would like to utilise Planar Binding. Would Earth (or Air) Elemental help in the trap-construction? Though it might take a while to convince an Elemental to follow Quertus' every order for almost two weeks.

 

[Endur]

Depends on how involved you want to be. How many hours do you want to spend on trap construction instead of spell learning?

Everything is dangerous around here. But you fully expect at least some of those working on this trap are going to be killed in "accidents".

An Earth Elemental would help quite a bit in the trap construction. What are you offering as pay?

 

[Pyrex]

Sounds like the Wand of Orcus to me.

That was my guess as soon as I heard the description.

Well, unless it takes a long time to make the trap (more than three days), I think that Quertus can just work about full-time with the trap.

An Earth Elemental would help quite a bit in the trap construction. What are you offering as pay?

Frankly, I have absolutely no idea what an Elemental could possibly want. So basically nothing, unless it demands something.

That was my guess as soon as I heard the description.

What excactly is the wand/staff? Isn't Orcus like a demon prince (or a god) or something?

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Yes, he is, and the Wand of Orcus is basically a magic stick of Kill Anything.

 

[Seonaid]

::greedy:: We need to get our hands on that.

 

[Serpenteye]

But he is cunning enough to make it happen if he wants to... In fact he is so cunning that the match would be unneeded.

You know, the Matron has not forgotten that the Domination effect on Kilcif was removed. I'm reluctant to subject Kilcif to it again, but if you give her any reason (the slightest suspicion) Ki'Willis will have to take apropriate measures. perhaps I shall have you turned into a vampire under Leonon's control?

 

[Serpenteye]

::greedy:: We need to get our hands on that.

Yes. We have really no reason ooc to believe that the silence of Lolth has anything to do with that ancient artifact, it's just a bit too convenient for Demogorgon to try to trick us into weakening his nr1 enemy (Orcus). Ic we can draw trhe same conclusion after a bit of research.

 

[Endur]

From an ooc theory perspective (neither confirming or denying)...
the destruction of an artifact would unleash tremendous power and there may be valid reasons for thinking that the destruction of an artifact could impact the Silence of Lolth. It would certainly be a more powerful sacrifice than anything else that has been attempted by the clergy of Lolth.

It is also possible that Lolth is dead, not silent. If one needed a weapon to slay a deity, there is no more powerful weapon for killing than the Wand of Orcus.

This all presumes that the Wand is really in Maerimydra, and its not some other wand.

Yes. We have really no reason ooc to believe that the silence of Lolth has anything to do with that ancient artifact, it's just a bit too convenient for Demogorgon to try to trick us into weakening his nr1 enemy (Orcus). Ic we can draw trhe same conclusion after a bit of research.
