1. Heal up ability damage (already in progress)
This will happen IC when I post it tomorrow, but as far as healing up ability damage goes, Ashlyn will use both her 1st level spells to cast lesser restoration twice (once for STR and once for CON). With any luck that will be sufficient for her. Khensu will be back to normal after a good nights sleep, which just leaves Marot with 7 STR damage.
2. Consult with caravan artificers to see about identifying some of our loot- Tessa can help, but can only ID one thing per day, so any assistance will speed things up greatly
Good idea.
3. Consult with caravan merchants regarding components- the only one I'm sure of is the 100gp of diamond dust for Restoration. I don't know if anyone else has anything they need.
Ashlyn doesn't need spell components but she does need components for awakening both the sunsword and for the symbol. This is a priority for her.
I've also been thinking that Ashlyn might be able to come up with something to absorb taint, but I'm not sure where she might find the appropriate herbs/materials. Perhaps at the church? Or perhaps the caravan might have some? Or even the Vistani encampment?
4. Brainstorming regarding the fane artifacts- do we need some kind of ritual, or need to be in a particular place, etc.
As far as we know ... we just need to bring all three relic together and then kill the creature that it creates (according to the info from Madam Eva).
5. Brainstorming about other artifacts (awakening the Sun sword or Icon fully, for instance)- do we have everything we need, and should we be working on these actively?
Ashlyn knows exactly what is needed to awaken both the sword and the symbol (the icon is something else).
The symbol is partially awakened and just needs a ritual with a sacrifice of wealth (1500g).
The sword requires a prayer vigil in a particular crypt in the castle and then a sacrifice of platnium (3000g worth).
As stated above, Ashlyn is working on both of these and they are a priority for her, however she recognizes that the group has other priorities too (and other things to spend money on).
6. Anything anyone can think of to add?
Yes, we still have a question that we need to ask Madam Eva.
------------
Thus a short todo list:
- Identify loot
- Shopping (spell components, herbs to absorb taint)
- Place the three relics together and then kill the creature it creates
- Awaken Sunsword (Ashlyn) - requires 3000g worth of platnium and prayer vigil in castle crypt
- Awaken Symbol (Ashlyn) - requires 1500g ritual
- Visit Madam Eva and ask 'final question'
