Beneath Dweomerheart (Surraruthru, Tryll, 87 days left)

[Anastasia]

Okay, could you paste the research you did last time? I think it mentioned a few different sources and possibilities.

[Yuthirin]

oh jesus you'll have to give me a bit to find it

[Anastasia]

That's fine, I have work soon anyway so it's more setting up for tonight.

Or maybe tomorrow, I'm pretty wiped since it's been a tough week at work, we'll see how coherent I am tonight.

[Yuthirin]

Okay, so Paragon stuff.

Ritual:

- The ritual is complex. It will require a great deal of work to set up. It requires the following: 50,000 gold in reagents, a bit of blood from the creature (or similar bodily fluid if the creature does not have blood) and one week of preparations and purifications.

- The ritual itself will require several K:A, K:P and Spellcraft checks. Failure results in the ritual failing and the reagents being wasted. The person conducting the ritual does not need to be the person seeking to become a paragon.

- The goal of the ritual is to define yourself as a paragon. As such, you must have what you represent as a paragon prepared and distilled to its utmost.

- The ritual is not guaranteed to work. Even if you succeed on everything, the question may not be sufficiently meaningful to your race. Alternately, there may be another paragon who already covers this. If so, you will learn the name of the paragon and the plane he is on. Finally, sometimes the ritual simply fails for reasons the author isn't certain of. It's hard to tell if a proposed question was not meaningful enough or if an unseen factor did it, after all.

- If they are available, taking levels in a racial paragon class (such as human paragon) helps somewhat, but it doe snot guarantee success.

My idea was to augment the ritual along the lines of its name: What defines us? When you break down Tryll or Calleigh, what are they at their base parts?

This led me to the following very basic list:
1 part bottled pure water
2 parts bottled raw chaos
2 parts bottled good stuff from Arborea
1 parts bottled squid
1 parts bottled book of jokes

Purest water from Water
Chaos from Limbo
Maybe a few leaves or heartwood pieces from an old tree in Arborea
Find and slay some sort of Kraken in Balmuria
Contract our book finder to find a quality joke book

Your suggestion: The Maharaja's Spring. Despite the name it's a fountain within the palace of the Padisha of the Marid. The water there is exceedingly pure and charged with the magic that comes from the Coral Throne. The Padisha is generally willing to barter for it or trade favors, or redeem a favor for it. It's high quality for all sorts of magical uses and valued for making powerful magical items.

[Anastasia]

Okay, make an K:P check.

[Yuthirin]

Aurora bonus?

[Anastasia]

If you mean the library bonus, yes.

It takes some digging, but if nothing else, there's other sources of pure water.

The best lead in your opinion is the Cleansed River. It is a current of pure water that winds through parts of Water. The trick is finding it, as it moves locations. It usually takes dumb luck or being a powerful seer to track it down. You happen to have more than one on hand. Do watch out, servants of Ben-Hadar are said to watch it and take a dim view of the unworthy helping themselves or getting up to trouble.

[Anastasia]

Waiting on a reply here.

[Yuthirin]

Was waiting on a reply in Nagging from last night. Afina's out, but Moore is in! Let's try to convince the Padisha! Maybe Calleigh will be able to keep it together. Invite Prince Westwind as well? Do Water and Air get along?

[Anastasia]

It's not Fire so yes, somewhat. For example, look at the para elemental plane where the two meet.

Okay, lemme finish up Moore's current scene and I'll move both of you along then.

[Yuthirin]

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Anastasia]

Locking.
