Re: The Value of a Life Campaign
"I'm sure. I should have known better than try to target the mind of one blessed with the magic of the gods, anyway. But, please, I had been more interested in the others. Then that woman... her mind.. it is strong. It might save her from madness, she has a better chance than you, lammasu, but likely she, too, would fall to the archives, for the mind must be twice as strong to overcome an unable soul."
Good point on the stun thing. The spell still ends, though.
And you have to roll Will v Detect Thoughts still, in case you roll a nat 1.
Cenelea is not evil.

The radiant glow goes over by the lammasu. "Oh really, purring lion?"
Spoiler: OOCI just saw it. And it was DC 22, because I have detect thoughts as a L1 spell. And she smacks you playfully.

Re: The Value of a Life Campaign
For a moment the lamasu is surprised and barely move, like the nymph smack was a touch of a ghoul.
He had several spells: one for each situation, but none of them for something like this.

"Hah! I'm sure we can get along, in here. I side with neither the devil or the angel. I much prefer the slaad. I have no taste for a lammasu. I was tempted for a punch, at full force, but even with my spells I doubted it would do much but provoke."

Re: The Value of a Life Campaign
Y'sathara
The Succubus frowned at the way he spoke to her. The way he made sure to look her dead in the eyes as he said it--Demons. Her small grin turned to a frown.
He doesn't mean you, Sath. Like that was reassuring. He meant exactly that, even if he didn't realize that she wasn't like the rest. That bothered her. A lot.
Dungeon Master
Karath stepped back in with several cups of tea levitating on saucers behind him. It was as he stepped to the center of the room that the beautiful porcellain began to float towards each of them--but they all fell as he hit his knees against the ground. A loud, gutteral shriek of pain emerged from the Githzerai's throat as he fell and one could see the viscous, black fluid oozing from his left-breast to the ground below.
Y'sathara
Y'sathara watched. Her eyes never moving--analyzing. What was wrong with him? What could do this to one so powerful as he?
She arose to her feet, the prior thoughts of being called Demon completely abjured from her mind. As was the guise from her body. Her skin took a pinkish tint, while a tail and wings emerged from the fold of her robes. She looked around and said with a calm voice, but one commanding of attention, "Everyone? Who knows what this could be?"

Re: The Value of a Life Campaign
Good thing the githzerai finnaly appeared! Xanthax was still thinking how to undo the nymph's charm and failing at it.
Once he falls to the ground, he get back to serious, "What's the matter, Karath? Are you ok?", of course the answer is No, but he had to ask anyway.
Not in elven shape anymore, he couldnt grab him and lift him from the ground without using his massive teeth, so he decided to have someone else to nurse him. In fact, he was most interested in that black oozing...

Re: The Value of a Life Campaign
Anwar watches the others preen and bicker. And use the S word... He sighs. He's used to rubes mistaking him for a Slaad, but it's a bit surprising that one of these hoity toity types would make the same error. He's relieved when Karath reenters the room... until the old man crumples to the ground.
What the hell... no...
He moves closer, trying to get a better look at Karath's injury.

Re: The Value of a Life Campaign
"Open some room for me", Xanthax says grtting closer to the githzerai, "I wield divine magic as well".
He look at Karath and touch him with his claw paw, "Panacea", he says praying to remove all afflictions on his friend.
If that fails, he give Remove Curse a try.Ruven Feathers, tengu opportunist with a keen eye for gold and an accute scent for death.

Re: The Value of a Life Campaign
Kix calmly reaches for her tea, but it falls to the floor and the cup breaks before her. When Karath falls down, a clicking noise can be heard from behind her emotionless mask. She instinctively consults her encyclopedic knowledge of undead and religious matters in regards to the ooze. Not wanting to crowd in among the three who immediately step in to aid the fallen gith, Kix remains where she is, carefully folding her long fingers together as she observes the situation.

Re: The Value of a Life Campaign
If a simple spell could fix this, Karath would have already asked for and received it, I believe.
Ymelon ponders his knowledge of the planes, trying to remember a similar case. Though gifted with healing abilities, that comes from his innate magic and not conscious knowledge about medicine. That is a flaw I must some day remedy.
"I will help if I can" he says.

It isn't a disease. Not a mundane one. It's absolutely a spell, something necromantic.
Spoiler: Knowledge: Nature - 20 or higher
This isn't something you can claim to have seen, but close examination of the goo shows resemblance to Black Lung--a deadly respiratory infection in which the phlegm produced is exceptionally dark. But you can tell there's more to this gunk."
Spoiler: Knowledge: Religion
This is necromantic in nature. Absolutely necromantic.
Spoiler: Knowledge Religion: 25+
The black goo is actually home to millions of parasitic, intelligent bacteria known as "Gnaritans". They're microorganisms that are created to kill a host and transfer its knowledge and memories to a source.
Spoiler: Knowledge Religion: 30+
Gnaritans are a creation of a necromancer, a High Priestess of Wee Jas, by the name of Lady Lythannas Myrsul. However, she has been dead for centuries.
Spoiler: Knowledge: The Planes 20 or higher
The goo seems to be like something you'd find on the Negative Energy Plane.
Karath raised a hand and coughed, "No--do not--fight." Every word expelling more of the goop--coughing it up this time.
"It was a mistake--to--involve you." He slowly rose to his feet and as soon as he seemed stable, collapsed to his knees again. This time coughing up more.
"I jus--it's..." He collapsed. This time unconscious as his head bounced off the floor with a resounding thud.

"...He's dead," the Succubus uttered at barely a whisper. Her eyes welling with tears. By Pelor's light...who could have done such a thing?

Re: The Value of a Life Campaign
"I recognize this ailment," Kix intones in a cool and professional manner. She waits a moment to be sure that the menagerie of entities in the room listen to what she has to say, and then continues, "Gnaritans -- a form of intelligent bacteria, created by an ancient priestess of Wee Jas -- have the power to kill a host and transfer its knowledge and memories to a source. Lady Lythannas Myrsul, the creator of the Gnaritans, has been dead for centuries, however."
The bizarre humanoid moves very little, and does not gesture or pace as she discloses this information. Her impassive mask betrays not a hint of emotion. "I believe that this is a serious matter and we should proceed with caution. If someone has mastered the Gnaritans that isn't Lady Myrsul, they are a force to be reckoned with, and if the Lady has returned from the dead, she is certainly an ancient and powerful lich or something similar, and not to be trifled with.
DM Do I know what source the Gnaritans will transfer to? Can we capture them before they do so? Are they contagious? Are they created for a specific host or just anybody? Can they reinfect after absorbing a host, or must they 'deposit' their stuff before they can do that?Thanks Gigi Digi for the avatar.
