OOC: House Millithor in COSQ part 4

[Goddess FallenAngel]

Goddess, I hate not having email notification.

I'm a little worried about the Baatizu lawyer. Anyone else?....

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

I think we'd have more use of a smaller and more elite group of (or a single) devils. Which kinds are available? And which kinds do you, fellow players, think would be useful?

Do we have any reson to suspect that the Bebiliths might elope or react violently if we recruited a group of Baatezu, or is their bond with Tierak too strong?

I would imagine that just about all the types are available. *just a guess*
However, I think that the ones that would be the most useful might also be out of our reach, pricewise - however, it would be helpful against Kurgoth's army to have a group of Devil's attack. It might give us the break we need to get in their and deal with the undead-worshippers.

I think the Bebiliths might be the sticking-point, though...

 

[Endur]

What kind of devils are in a Cohort, and in a Legion (+ #)?

What's the price of one Cohort, and (what the hell) one Legion?

When you ask these questions, the long-winded answers you receive are quite legalistic and hard to comprehend. As near as you can figure, the answers were:
a) Cohorts tend to be specialized with most devils of one type and officers of more powerful types. If you ask for a cohort, you can pretty much pick the general type of devilish troops you want. Lemure are the most common troops.
b) Legions have everything.
c) Price of a cohort depends on the devils in the Cohort and has to be negotiated with the commander
d) Price of a legion depends on negotiations.

Violence is always possible. They have not telegraphed strong feelings yet.

Another thought. Icho apparently has a nice little hot-line to the Abyss, and a lot of contacts down there. Would it be possible to arrange trough him a meeting with a 9th (or higher) level cleric of Selvetarn? We have been without spells for too long.

You could certainly try to arrange a meeting with a cleric of Sevetarn. The Church of Selvetarn does not accept female clerics, so you should also track down a gender change enchantment if you wish to go that route. Also, the adherents of the Church of Selvetarn tend to be religious fanatics. The odds are that if you mentioned your interest in conversion, they would accuse you of heresy and sacriledge and other similar things and attempt to kill you.

Does "Legalistic and hard to comprehend" mean that the Matron might be selling her soul if she agrees to the deal? What am I saying? Why even ask? It probably means that she'd sell her descendants too .

Ah.

Are there any diabolic or yugoloth (the ultimate mercenaries) Gods who might agree to grant spells to a cleric for a limited time with no reverance or permanent commitment required? (She does not ask the Malebrance that, I'm just wondering if she believes that might be a possibility.)

"The minion will eventually lose their soul, of course, but not before you have accomplished your goals in Maerimydra."

Any takers? Come on, take one for the team

 

[Endur]

Asmodeus would be the obvious power to approach. Mephistophles or Baalzebul would be an alternative if you are frightened of Asmodeus.

What would other deities think of that kind of business arrangement? Would that make it more difficult to join another clergy later (or get back into Lolth's good graces)?

 

[Serpenteye]

The Devil responds,
"I was referring to the situation in Maerimydra. My contacts have led me to believe that it will be resolved one way or the other in a matter of days.

Hm. How much time do we have until the Grave-rending?

 

[Endur]

I'll have to double-check the calendar, but you should have at least four or five weeks before the grave-rending.

[Endur]

Deities are jealous. Yes, it would be more difficult.

[Pyrex]

Wow, y'all have been busy over the weekend, I've got some catching up to to.

IC postage will be coming tomorrow morning...
