Surraruthru's Tree (Surraruthru)

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru nods.

"Thank you. I figured having a dryad along would be helpful, and all the other ones tend to be so... boring. And annoying. I figured this would be a good chance for us to see how we work together."

[Anastasia]

"Fire helps liven dryads up," Simmer says, "The trick is making them survive it."

[Iron Dragoon]

"You should start a help group for that, then. Teach them the ways of fire and how to survive it. In any case, shall we go?"

[Anastasia]

Right. Any prep besides the arch?

[Iron Dragoon]

I'll do a run of prep spells for the tapestry, but honestly I'm not really in the frame of mind to slog through it. I can do it tomorrow if you don't mind a bit of leeway on it and want to move on.

[Anastasia]

That's fine, though I'm about to wind down anyway.

Suggestion: Have a standard loadout of spells and tapestry boosts for missions that aren't super critical that you can just plug in.

[Iron Dragoon]

Okay, the following:

Tapestry:

Level 3:
Greater Magic Armor: (Spell Compendium, p. 136), CL 25, Duration 25 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 26, Duration 26 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.

Elemental Body: (Spell Compendium p. 78), CL 26, Duration 26 hours
You have the benefits of the attune form spell (page 17) with respect to the appropriate element. If you choose a water body, for example, you can breathe normally on water-dominant planes.You are immune to poison, sleep, paralysis, and stunning, and are not subject to extra damage from critical hits or flanking. You gain darkvision out to 60 feet. Your creature type remains unchanged, so you are unaffected by spells that target elementals, but you gain the air, earth, fire, or water subtype depending on the elemental substance you chose.
Earth: Earth mastery (you gain a +1 bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls if both you and your foe touch the ground), push (you can start a bull rush maneuver without provoking attacks of opportunity), +3 natural armor bonus to AC.

Note: If the others want a different elemental type, they can say so and I can post what their bonus would be.

Level 8:
Surraruthru's Stupendous Dragonskin, CL 26, Duration 26 hours
Grants you a +10 armor bonus to armor class and damage reduction 10/magic.

Agility of the Dragon Princess, CL 26, Duration 26 hours
The target of this spell gains a +4 insight bonus to Dexterity.

Strength of the Dragon Princess, CL 26, Duration 26 hours
The target of this spell gains a +4 insight bonus to Strength.

Mind of the Dragon Princess, CL 26, Duration 26 hours
The target of this spell gains a +4 insight bonus to Intelligence.

Mind Blank, CL 26, Duration 24 hours
The subject is protected from all devices and spells that detect, influence or read emotions or thoughts. This spell protects against all mind-affecting spells and effects as well as information gathering by divination spells or effects. Mind blank even foils limited wish, miracle, and wish spells when they are used in such a way as to affect the subject's mind or to gain information about it. In the case of scrying that scans an area the creature is in, such as arcane eye, the spell works but the creature simply isn't detected. Scrying attempts that are targeted specifically at the subject do not work at all.

Additionally, the below are pre-loaded into the Tapestry for activation as Quiescent Weaving:
Resist Energy, CL 26, Duration 260 Minutes. (4 castings)
Subject gains energy resistance to: Acid, Electricity, Fire, Sonic of 30 points.

These spells are personal buffs for Surraruthru:
Moment of Prescience, CL 26, Duration 26 hours/discharged
This spell grants you an insight bonus equal to your caster level (maximum +25) on any single attack roll, opposed ability or skill check or saving throw. Alternatively, you can apply the insight bonus to your AC against a single attack (even if flat-footed). Activating the effect doesn't take an action; you can even activate it on another character's turn if needed.

Superior Mighty Wallop, CL 26, Duration 24 hours
As greater mighty wallop, except the bludgeoning melee weapon damage increases by four size categories.

Epic Mage Armor, CL 26, Duration 26 hours
This spell is identical to mage armor, except that it grants a +20 armor bonus to armor class.

Getting to the inn room is easy enough. An Aurora portal, some traveling Brightwater's streets and then a walk up to the fifth floor of a large inn. Knocking on the door gets a gruff male voice to call, "Enter!"

Surraruthru waits for one of the larger ones to open the door and follows them in.

"Hello. I expect you're the druid? I am Surraruthru. These are Kascha and Simmer."

[Anastasia]

Kascha does so and goes in first. Simmer takes up the rear.

The man has a neatly trimmed beard and mustache. He's middle aged and yet not a speck of gray can be seen in his coal-black hair. He wears green and has his arms crossed.

"Yes, I'm the druid. I even have a name, imagine that," he drawls.

[Iron Dragoon]

"I imagine you do, but as you have not introduced yourself, I can only assume you don't value it much."

[Anastasia]

"Hmph," The druid says, "Since you're acting superior to me, you clearly have no need of my services. Goodbye, I'm sure you can manage by yourself."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru shrugs.

"I'm certainly not the one acting superior here. All I've done is introduce myself and attempt to verify you're who we're looking for. The first thing you did was be rude and have a smart mouth. I simply returned it. The sense of superiority and entitlement comes from you. I do need your help, and I'm sure Morniel went through much to secure your help, but neither of those things excuses your complete lack of respect and professionalism. While I'm sure you're owed a certain amount of respect for your abilities and position, we are as well. We are not some lost group of younglings stumbling in here to cause you inconvenience. We have our own accomplishments and experience as well."

[Anastasia]

Before anything else can be said, Kascha smoothly cuts in. "Hi, Mr. Pearwood? I'm Kascha, this is Surraruthru and that's Simmer. How about all of us start over, take a breath and try this again?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru nods and simply sits and waits.
