3. Gathering those that are Preparing for the Dracolich

Gathering those that are Preparing for the Dracolich


  • I believe I will present this object to Maya. If she is willing to take the responsibility to use it. Would all be in agreement of that?


  • ((Sorry for the late responses. I've been gone most of today.))

    Albry nods her thanks to Wog and Shannon.
    Your contributions are greatly appreciated.

    Looks to Ronan, then all those present.
    I am willing to wield the weapon, if no one objects.

    Bows her head in return to Rith after being acknowledged for her assistance.

    Benji takes a keen look at the puzzlebox.

    <g>Fark me.

    That's not gnomish. All I know about it is that it's magical and I don't know <g>shite</g> about it.

    @bd1d63f2b2=SummonerX:

    A group of us have found a weapon or two to use against the dracolich. One is a contraption of sorts that a made mage made. I'm not sure we can trust this one, but… well, we'll have to try anything at this point.

    Ronan holds up what appears to be a puzzle box of sorts..

    Only a mighty warrior will beable to use it. So whoever is decent at that sword slashing thing, feel free to volunteer.

    Dietrick tries to peep and see what is this 'only a might warrior be able to use it' weapon is and appears most curious! And if the question can asked who wishes to handle it, he enthusiastically volunteers.

    Dietrick tries to find Daisy other day in peltarch temple of triad but din see her. If sumun can sell us 'remove fear' potions, dat will help ALOTS!!!

    If theres any holy warriors or priest going, Dietrick also has a sword dat can call out the strong 'holy sword' magik, dat can help against the dracolich methinks.

    @c842f71524=Emerwyn:

    Who, then, thinks him or herself capable of mounting and manipulating the gnomish contraption? According the instruction manual, if well used, it is a lethal weapon against undead draconids.

    What is it? Is it magic? Is it gnomish?

    //I'll try to meet up online to take a look in game tonight. If I miss it I'll be online for the event tomorrow at the LATEST 15 minutes after the event starts (work goes right up until the event starting time, 10 minute drive home)


  • Arriving late into the meeting is a fellow in the green armour of the Peltarch Defenders, the red trimmings of an officer on his cloak. He introduces himself and gets right to business.

    "Lieutenant Lionel Williams. Assuming the good will of the Chancellor, the Senate of Peltarch has dispatched myself and a squad of our troops to be stationed within the town itself during the assault, to assist in repelling any potential counterattacks by the enemy. Or in the event of calamity and foul fortunes on the day, to hold the enemy off long enough for a final evacuation, may the gods prevent it. If there are any strategic elements of the battle plan we can assist with, I'm all ears."

  • ::Rith nods at Ronan's words::

    You would not believe what we went through. I hope that "Super Undead Dragon Killing Weapon" is more than a bluff.

    As for the arrows, I retrieved them from a Lathanderite cache with the aid of some of the brave warriors that stand in this room today ::bowing her head slightly at Mariston and Albryanna::, and they are holy artifacts of my Church. As such I will reserve the right to use them against the Dracolich and its minions myself.

    It is only ten of them and I am an expert bowyer, so I will treasure them and make sure they do not go to waste.

    ::She then looks around the room::

    Who, then, thinks him or herself capable of mounting and manipulating the gnomish contraption? According the instruction manual, if well used, it is a lethal weapon against undead draconids.

    We'll also have arrows blessed by Lathander, that are quite powerful. Even moreso against undead. Those should be handy against a big undead dragon, no doubt.


  • We know that the Dracolich is like any lich and dragon…a powerful user of magic. What resources do thou hath for counteracting wards and magical defences?
    I wouldst aid thee in this battle, but I hath pledged assistance to Ronan on a related matter.
    //cant be there due to RL commitments//
    But this I think will be an important area to concern thineselves with. How to breach any magical defences, mundane protections are easily bypassed those of a more arcane or divine nature can prove more challenging. I wouldst take stock of what resources we hath in that area and ensure their safe arrival at the site.
    Also Lady Rith with some others recently gained some useful aid, mayhaps we should discuss what resources art available and the best utilisation of these resources?


  • " I would suggest to all, that even though undead and the dragolich will quite likely be able to see through such tricks, yet invisabilty shots should be carryed by all just in case"


  • Clay lofts his eyebrow at Hammerhand

    I don't think everybody here has consigned themselves to martyrdom just yet.

    There's nothing wrong with a good escape plan.


  • _"The dragon's army will be larger than we can probably guess, stronger than we can guess –- I'm pretty sure we haven't seen the strongest of them -- and then there's the dragon itself. And they have the advantage of having a prepared, probably fortified position.

    I doubt the undead dragon or the leader minions are stupid enough to let themselves be drawn out of their defenses, and there's not a whole lot of us. Fury and faith go a long way, but we need a better plan then "let's go there and see what happens" if we want to punch a hole large enough, and hold it long enough, for the mages and druids to get close enough to destroy the tower.

    And.. there's this. Getting in will be hard enough, getting out.. maybe we shouldn't even plan on it. Accept that those who are going, are going to die, but are going to die destroying what might be the most powerful enemy of our time. If we start worrying about getting out, we won't focus enough on getting in."_


  • Shannon speaks once more…

    If it is indeed true that no Yuan-Ti will set foot on the battlefield by the allied forces' asking, then the blades of the Divine Shield shall stand with you.

    I myself plan to remain at the gates of Norwick, as many others have suggested that bugbears, hobgoblins, and goblins alike may try to take the town as we are all off attempting to vanquish the Dracolich.

    At the very least, my Order shall ensure that potions are adequately distributed amongst you before you set off.

    @749ccbb70f=EodenValmer:

    A phylactery is, well from all research I hath carried out, a single piece; an object of exquisite value. Mayhaps the actual phylactery is built into the tower, but destroying the tower itself may not yield the destruction of the phylactery. There may be an area of the tower that is heavily warded, that spot may be the best place to focus any attack.

    <g>Fark!

    We need to get our stories straight! Jerrick just said that the tower IS the phylactery.

    Is it or isn't it!</g>

    As to potions, I can speak with Lady Daisy, yet as with any such aid, I wouldst think that they wouldst be required to go to those that honour the Triad. Certainly not any of dark heart nor worship foes of the Triad or show no respect to the gods of the Triad ::fixes a look at Yngdir as he says this::
    If this can be guaranteed then I will speak with Lady Daisy one behalf of this cause.


  • @3145d6dfbb=Clan:

    The question of healing and potions is a good one… MIght Daisy... or one of the high priests give us some healing blessings or other assistance?

    Do any of our military organizations have a store of potions that we might be able to purchase at discount prices?

    ((any chance of getting a DM to sell some discounted potions ahead of time?))

    Maya just sighs at this, having just spent virtually every coin she had on healing potions


  • "If the tower is the dragons soul, then it may bare more resitance to fire than we can imagine, yet ayou are correct, we dont know till we get there, taking powder kegs with us cannot hurt, and may even save these lands"


  • If it is tower-destruction we need, then I think I'd trust powder kegs before the wrath of nature.

    Let me say that differently, as to not offend anyone…

    We dont know what the fight will be like before we even get to the tower... Our friends in the circle may have to use more of their nature-powers than they planned before we get there. We dont want to get there only to find a forge with no coal!

    Lets at least plan to use both the kegs and whatever the Druids can offer.
