Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
Funny thing... the dragon didn't NEED material components anymore....
But then, nobody stopped and picked anything up in the smallish dungeon....

"Once you have given a dominated creature a command, it continues to attempt to carry out that command to the exclusion of all other activities except those necessary for day-to-day survival (such as sleeping, eating, and so forth)."
We were commanded to find and destroy the gem containing the prismatic dragon's soul. Looting the place would not have helped towards that goal, so Jason was the only one of us even capable of looting. After the ancient dragon dispelled the trio of Dominate Monsters, I suppose we could have asked for her to wait while we went back in and looted, but I wouldn't want to risk trying her patience.
Now that we're not dominated and we don't have a CR 60 or so dragon to get impatient with us, we could go back to loot if we decide to. That will have to wait for next week in any case, even if we do go back, unless you want to just gloss over dealing with the traps and hand us the list of what's there. |

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
Yeah, I know; Context of the statement - it was after noting that the 25,000 gp worth of materials wasn't consumed - consider:
I decided to rate the Encounter Level at 17th - he had almost no equipment on him, and so this reduced his CR; he thought he was secure in his fortress, and so was running around unbuffed (stupid him...) as he was spending most of his energies on making an Artifact.
The treasure value of a EL 17 is around 36,000 gp; you saved 25,000 gp in MC for the True Ressurection, and 1,530 for hiring a Cleric-17 to actually cast it (total: 26,530 gp not spent) leaving a mere 9,470 short of the expected treasure value for the encounter, which is within the range of random variance on the treasure generation tables. As you normally sell treasure, and get half value for everything but coins (call it 20,000 gp netted from an "average" haul) you're ahead of the game for not having to hire the spell.
And Kibin did find something....

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
Well, need some time to work on my car anyway; heating isn't working so well, and it's getting on towards winter.

Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.
Okay. I'll be gone Saturday, I think a bunch of other people need to be gone too, so it will all work out.
