Hmm.. Alright. Bat it be, I guess. Unless there is another suggestion?

[Yuthirin]

Bat is Grat.

EDIT: Roll was meant to be used for Herbs from Hades Plane.

[Anastasia]

Herbs native to Hades are renowned for their depressive, sedative, poisonous and mild hallucinatory effects. As a plane that exemplifies evil and despair, its herbs also reflect this. Almost any herb or organic compound from Hades, regardless of any other effect, can be used to induce depression. Common herbs from Hades are:

Graywort: This simple herb is found in places that rocks break through the surfce of Oinos. When blended into any non alcoholic liquid, it inflicts deep despair and mild sedative effects. The victim will often mope around in a half asleep daze, losing hope in everything and succumbing to deep despair. This herb is safe to gather, though any bare skin contact should be wiped clean with a dry cloth.

Hag's Molt: A herb with sharp gray thistles, the uses of his herb are two fold. It is a poisonous compound, reducing the motor skills and agility of those ravaged by it. Creatures immune to poison, such as fiends, find Hag's Molt to cause hallucinatory episodes instead. The contents of these episodes vary, but if uninterrupted, they lead to the victim flaying themselves with their bare hands. This is where the name of the herb came from. This herb works on skin contact, this requiring gloves to safely harvest it. Of note, yugoloths are completely immune to both effects of this herb.

Styx Tears: These clumps of red algae-like herbs are found on the banks of the river Styx. When ground down and administered as a medicine, the victim falls into a massive despair, forgetting everything save for the most heart-rending, miserable memories they have. This lasts for several hours, assuming the victim does not successfully attempt suicide, which is said to be a common result of exposure.

Would someone be nice and make a list of all the loot you guys have gathered so far?

[Yuthirin]

Logs posted. They're raw. I'll fix them later, after the move. I just don't have time. Hopefully during my downtime this weekend as I travel, if I can pick up wi-fi somewhere.

I believe this is all of it. On that note, I'll post in the loot thread about my interest in acquiring the ant thingy.

[Anastasia]

Thanks Iddy!

In other news, what's the party's next move? Resting? Going on? Something else? Uguuing? Let me know.

[Zephyrus]

I suggest resting and interrogating the Knight. Maybe he knows of place where we can steal a boat. Alternatively, perhaps we could recruit him into helping us knife that dirty Charnolath that sent us to die. I want to spit on that bastard's corpse. Him having a shard is purely coincidental.

Also, if everyone thinks it's relatively safe enough, I want to ingest the Iron Monument in preparation for our next fight.

[Anastasia]

Okay, that's one. Chime in if you can, people, since I'd like to resolve a rest before session. Assuming you take one, but I've heard it from a few people now so I'm assuming things are leaning that way.

[Merc]

I wouldn't call being -anywhere- in Hades "relatively safe", Zeph. A sentiment shared by many others, I assure you!

I'm more interested in finding a way out of that plane, and freeing the spirit in the soul gem (assuming nobody else doubts its identity and wants to do something to investigate it). We can come back for the dream shard and vengeance later.

Does anyone else want revenge now? Morana will still fight if asked to, just stating my own preference here.

[Iron Dragoon]

I want to wake up and GTFO of this place. Thyan's had about enough of this place, and will be a surly bastard until his Cha is healed decently.

I'm also down for waking the Knight. Too bad we don't have anyone with Sense Motive or a way to figure out his alignment.

I'm also interested in finding out more about this angel. Though, I imagine a soul diamond with an Angel's soul inside is a pretty big prize in Hades. I think either the Night Hag is going to come after us for it, or every single damn thing we get anywhere close to might be attracted to it and try to kill us for it.

[Sierra]

GTFO gets my vote. Rest*, talk to the knight and hope he knows of a way out. If he doesn't, we find a way to cross the river and head for the Gray Monument because it's the only lead we have, even if it's one given to us my an incredibly sketchy person who tried to murder us. Yes, she may very well be hanging around there for us, but we have absolutely no idea where anything else is on this plane. I'll memorize Analyze Portal so we can at least tell where the hell we're going (hopefully not literally) if/when we find the thing.

Zeph, wait 'til we've found something resembling civilization on a hospitable plane before eating that thing.

(*I recommend we do this somewhere safely away from the hag's shack. She'll come back. If not for us, then for the soul gem. And then for us when she doesn't find the soul gem. Walk an hour or so away just to minimize chances of being found while we rest?)

[Iron Dragoon]

Distance is a good idea. If I can get up and about, I can hunt down a camp site and try to conceal it, I believe. I think that's a Survival check on both counts?

[Anastasia]

It is, assuming you can get out of your zero charisma funk.
