Myr's Sword (Surraruthru)

[Iron Dragoon]

Bard heavy kind of fits. They tend hold access to a lot of knowledge, and if we're going up against a dude of lost knowledge, I sorta feel like it'll come into play a bit.

[Yuthirin]

I am on the board.

[Anastasia]

Fantastic.

Everyone gathers in Aurora's courtyard. Vivantha's head is bowed as she waits, lost in her own thoughts. Ebony stands and strums her harp, gaze faraway as she prepared. Kascha's pacing back and forth, writing in her book all the while.

Go ahead and set yourselves up and we'll get this rolling.

Calleigh is lounging atop Kascha's head, deftly not falling off as Kascha moves.

Tryll is, for once, not misty. Instead, he is curled up at Ebony's feet in an impressively detailed disguise of an astral dragon, about the size of a large dog.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru wings in and lands in the middle of the group, giving the 'dragon' a curious and then mildly distasteful look. Had to be the big dragon on the block, didn't he?

"Alright, I'm going to put some spells on us, so if anyone has questions, hold until after."

Buff spells cast now, everyone gets these:

Spoiler: ShowHide

Level 3:
Greater Magic Armor: (Spell Compendium, p. 136), CL 24, Duration 24 hours, This spell functions like mage armor (PH 249), except that it requires no material component and its tangible field of force provides a +6 armor bonus to Armor Class.

Level 7:
Energy Absorption: (Complete Mage, p. 103), CL 27, Duration 27 hours/expended, The subject gains resistance 10 against all five energy types: acid, cold, electricity, fire, and sonic. As an immediate action, the subject can cause the spell to absorb the power of a single energy-based attack. The subject gains immunity to any energy types used in that attack (but only for that attack), and also heals a number of points of damage equal to 1/2 the damage the effect would normally have caused.

Buff spells now, Surraurthru only:

Spoiler: ShowHide

Level 10:
Energy Immunity: CL 27, Duration 24 hours, This abjuration grants a creature complete protection against damage from whichever one of five energy types you select: acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic. The spell protects the recipient's equipment as well. Choosing cold.

Pre-combat buffs, everyone, later/minute:

Spoiler: ShowHide

Level 1:
Shield: CL 27, 27 minutes,  It negates magic missile attacks directed at you. The disk also provides a +4 shield bonus to AC. This bonus applies against incorporeal touch attacks, since it is a force effect. The shield has no armor check penalty or arcane spell failure chance. Unlike with a normal tower shield, you can't use the shield spell for cover.

Level 2:
Resist Energy x5:(Player's Handbook v.3.5, p. 272) CL 27, Duration 270 minutes, grants resistance 30 to energy type

Level 4:
Ray Deflection: (Spell Compendium, p. 166), CL 27, Duration 27 minutes, For the duration of the spell, you are protected against ranged touch attacks, including ray spells and ray attacks made by creatures. Any ray attack directed at you is automatically reflected harmlessly away.
Stoneskin: (Player's Handbook v.3.5, p. 284), CL 27, Duration 270 Minutes, The subject gains damage reduction 10/adamantine. Once the spell has prevented a total of 10 points of damage per caster level (maximum 150 points), it is discharged.
Iron Bones: (Spell Compendium, p. 125), CL 24, Duration 240 minutes, The creature gains a +6 natural armor bonus to AC.

Level 5:
Draconic Might: (Draconomicon, p. 111), CL 24, Duration 24 minutes, The subject of the spell gains a +5 enhancement bonus to Strength, Constitution, and Charisma. It also gains a +4 enhancement bonus to natural armor. Finally, it has immunity to magic sleep and paralysis effects.

Level 6:
Greater Heroism: (Player's Handbook v.3.5, p. 240), CL 24, Duration 24 minutes, the creature gains a +4 morale bonus on attack rolls, saves, and skill checks, immunity to fear effects, and temporary hit points equal to your caster level (maximum 20).

Level 7:
Spell Turning: (Player's Handbook v.3.5, p. 282), CL 27, Duration 270 minutes/expended, Spells and spell-like effects targeted on you are turned back upon the original caster. The abjuration turns only spells that have you as a target. Effect and area spells are not affected. Spell turning also fails to stop touch range spells. From seven to ten (1d4+6) spell levels are affected by the turning. The DM secretly rolls the exact number. When a spell is turned, the DM subtracts its level from the amount of spell turning left.

Level 10:
Celestial Valor: CL 27, Duration 27 minutes,  Each target of this spell gains a +8 sacred bonus to saving throws against fear and any emotion based effect that would sap the will to fight, such as calm emotions or crushing despair. In addition, celestial valor grants a +4 sacred bonus to attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, armor class and saving throws. Finally, any weapon they use counts as a holy weapon for the duration, granting 2d6 extra damage against evil targets. This does not stack if the weapon already has the holy special property.

Pre-combat, everyone, later/round

Spoiler: ShowHide

Level 7:
Might of the Planetar: CL 24, Duration 24 rounds, You gain a +16 enhancement bonus to Strength, a +2 enhancement bonus to Dexterity, a +8 enhancement bonus to Constitution, and a +7 enhancement bonus to natural armor. You gain a slam attack that inflicts 2d8 + 1.5 times your Strength modifier. You gain the benefits of the blind-fight and power attack feats as well.

Large dog is still technically Small. You're probably the size of a Great Dane. We're size-twins, bro!

"Thanks!" Calleigh says, staring over the top of Kascha's hair to look at what she's reading...and mostly failing.

Dragon-Tryll waggles its tail, but stays on the ground.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru looks the group over.

"Well, any questions? Vivanthia, Ebony, Tryll?"

[Anastasia]

"One," Ebony says, looking up, "Do we have a plan to escape if things go wrong? We know little of this fiend and less of what powers it can bring to bear. I fear not my death in itself, but I dread that it may be able to capture our souls."

"I personally don't, but it sounds a grand idea to have one. Ideas?"

[Anastasia]

"We can do little to plan," Kascha pipes up, frowning and holding her hands to her chest, "How can we when we head into a great unknown? All we can do is have faith in ourselves and faith in those that guide us."

"I do fear that normal means will fail us when we need them," Vivantha quietly adds. "If this Secretus is so secluded, I doubt his realm is an open book to teleport into or out of."

[Yuthirin]

"Where ARE we going, anyway?" Calleigh asks.

[Anastasia]

Vivantha glances over at Surraruthru, "...you invited them and you didn't tell them?" she asks, rather quietly, a hint of disbelief.

"Ahem," Kascha interjects with a light cough. "To the realm of a hidden daemon that thrives on lost knowledge and secrets. We seek to provoke him and cause a lost magical sword to appear in our hour of need, somewhat similar to how the Sword of the Moon aided us."

[Yuthirin]

"Oh. So we're bait for a sword?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"I hadn't had the chance to, no. But yes, we're trying to lure out the Sword of Myr. It's an intelligent artifact that specializes in combating illusions and revealing the truth. From what I've been able to discover, it's being hunted or running from something, and looking for someone who can use it and keep it safe. If we can get it, and put it in the right hands, it'll be a powerful ally.

Secretus is a powerful yugoloth that specializes in forgotten knowledge. He resides somewhere in Hades and the entrance to his realm is marked by six trees with valeoloths hanging from them."

[Anastasia]

"That's promising," Ebony murmurs, "So our entire plan is a hope and a prayer?"
