[QUOTE="Loonook, post: 6118500, member: 1861"] The issue is finding the ritual components to resurrect a vessel which embodies Lolth. So we need to look at Lolth's history, portfolio, and power level you want her to return at. Like calls to like in most mystic traditions and rituals in literature, so it may be fun to work based off of that. Portfolio: Assassins, chaos, darkness, drow, evil, spiders. Domains: Darkness, Poison, Trickery. So what do we choose for each of these aspects? Lolth in her earlier appearances, before she gained who true strength, was an Intermediate deity, so we would need some powerful, but not planar effects to revive her at that strength. [B]Assassins[/B]: The sacrifice of a great weapon made in the First Days, hidden in an ancient tomb, said to have the power to kill a god. [B]Chaos[/B]: A drop of the essence of primordial chaos, bound into a glass vial formed from the sands of time. [B]Darkness[/B]: The ritual most occur in a place of virgin shadow, a place where no light has been shed since the first of days. [B]Drow[/B]:The ritual must be performed by the last of her priestesses, drow who have been driven into hiding for the heresy of worshiping their dead Lady. [B]Evil[/B]: A perfect Elven child, as flawless as Araushnee Herself before her ascension/corruption as Lolth, as a vessel for the risen deity. [B]Poison[/B]: The souls of those who feasted at the Festhall of Grey Tower, a place where a cruel lord poisoned all of his vassals. The place was lost to history, but there are rumors that a tumbled tower in the depths of a wood may be the former seat of the fallen lord. [B]Spiders[/B]: The last of the Great Underdark Orb Spider, which must be slaughtered during the ritual and its limbs set around the bound body of the flawless sacrifice to call the Lady of the Demonweb Pits. [B]Trickery[/B]: A great treason must be performed upon a member of the party by all of their comrades without their knowledge. The blood of the betrayed is used to bless the ritual implements. And of course the sacrifices at the place. It's a rough ritual, but if they want to bring Lolth back they are on the way to Evil as it is. Slainte, -Loonook. [/QUOTE]
