stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [OOC]

[stonegod]

That gives us the following options:

• Tessa prepares and casts Restoration (we need diamond dust)
• Tessa, Jarrith and Ashlyn have Break enchantment on their class list and could cast it from the scroll
  (count Ashlyn out from this option)
• Marot can use UMD to cast Break enchantment from the scroll

Restoration no worky, but remove curse can. Both Tessa and Jarrith can memorize/cast it.

 

[DEFCON 1]

I'm okay with either Tess or myself casting Remove Curse as many times as needed.

@stonegod: Doh ... for some reason my mind went wandering on that one ...

@DEFCON: Yeah ... that's why Ashlyn approached Jarrith about it .... I think we have two days worth of casting when it can still work (it has to be within 3 days of the full moon and we only have two days left). We will probably need both Tessa and Jarrith to prepare as many as possible because it may take several tries.

Ashlyn, Urik, Tessa, and Jarrith make a search of the fallen Church. Abandoned in the rectory they find some blessed cloths that will help ward taint, if Tessa's teachings are correct.

@stonegod:
- What sort of cloths are they? Can they be worn over regular gear, or do they count as a mantle/cloak or ... ? How many cloths are there, enough for everyone or ... ?
- Ashlyn's sheet is updated with the relevant info.
- btw, you didn't mention anything about Ladreth's bow enchantment in the last IC post, was that just an omission? Can we assume that it is also completed as per the OOC plan


@All: The group gear is updated. I will post again later this afternoon summarizing the equipment changes for each character.

 

[DEFCON 1]

As far as planning and next things to do...

It seems like we probably should roleplay in the telling of Ireena that Ismark went vampy, probably sometime during the five days of sitting around. Then at a point after that when she's a little more composed (fully expecting her to freak out after the telling), we could inquire about diamond dust.

The ritual for destoying the fanes cannot occur until we reacquire Khensu's relic, which the female vampire currently has somewhere up in the castle I would imagine. (And Tessa and Ashlyn still have their own relics buried within their handy haversacks, correct?)

The awakening of the sunsword has to happen in the castle's crypt, at the coffin of Strahd's brother I think.

My vote would be to talk to Ireena during the five days off, then head to the castle and go into the crypts. If we start with awakening the sunsword (since we know where we have to go to do that), we can get that job done with and out of the way before then stumbling through the castle looking for the female vamp who has the relic.

Forgot the bow. And there is still one day of downtime (I have it as four days, it will need five). The cloths are strips that can be tied to the arm or over the head; no slot.

Everyone Make sure you update for whatever equipment changes/upgrade you made. I can't keep them all straight.

You still have two of the relics. And you know the tomb is in the crypt... somewhere.

This seems like a good plan Defcon, plus it's always better to have a sunsword when facing a vampire

 

[stonegod]

I fixed the date: I'd appreciate it DEFCON if you could update your post appropriate (its the 1 Sul, Olarune now).

As for finding things, you have magical and mundane ways of finding things.

BTW, Marot was afflicted with taint at the glowing pillar -- he would have been highly interested in reducing the voices in his head....
