"If it is no imposition, may we journey with you? I'm interested in whatever this is," Jetina asks, "And perhaps I could learn from it., if it a great a healer as legend says."

<Afina> Forever.

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Moore nods to Jetina's words. "I can probably help smooth over any disagreements too. Maybe we can find it by using its anathemic knowledge against it somehow? That stuff really stands out, ironically, when you know to look for it." He says.

Corwin

"If you'd like to come with us, the more the merrier~"

Can we get a refresher on Positive Energy Plane traits, btw?

"The feat is to remember you even found it," Elle banters back as you all begin to prepare.

Sure.

The main ones are:

Major Positive Dominant: Any creature who first comes here needs a Fort save or be blinded temporarily. It grants fast healing 5 to any here, plus if unprotected, this stacks as temporary hit points if you're at full HP. If it goes far enough to exceed your maximum hit points as temporary hit points, you explode and die.

Positive magic is enhanced here. In other words, anything like a cure spell is automatically maximized.

Negative energy magic is impeded and difficult to cast.

There's subjective gravity, so flight is the norm here.

That said what prep are y'all taking for this?

Nephrite

Moore will keep up Inspire Heroics on everyone for +18 morale bonus to saves and +18 dodge to AC.

He's also running the Charisma aura, so everyone gets +18 to Charisma checks.

Corwin

Precasting the following spells at CL 37...

On all:
Foresight [10min/lvl], Visions of the Future [1hr/lvl], True Seeing [1min/lvl],  Vision of the Omniscient Eye [1min/lvl], Freedom of Movement [10min/lvl], Pass Without Trace [1hr/lvl], Greater Heroism [1min/lvl], Good Hope [1min/lvl], Nondetection [1hr/lvl], Mass Death Ward [1min/lvl], Heroes's Feast [12hr], Fortunate Fate [10min/lvl], Spell Turning [10min/lvl]

Presumably the protections from overhealing are those planar travel spells? There's one that's daylong, so that works.

On myself only:
Sensual Blessing [A, 1min/lvl], Detect Scrying [24hr], Greater Arcane Sight [1min/lvl], Greater Anticipate Teleport [24hr], Bibliotheca Arcana [A, 24hr], Voice of the Dragon [10min/lvl], Mind Blank [A, 24hr], Many Moments of Prescience [A, 1hr/lvl], Moment of Prescience [A, 1hr/lvl]

How long can you keep it going on people, Moore? It's possible this won't be quick?

Nephrite

It's 10 minutes per use and he can do it 44 times, so it'll last.

Anastasia

I'm sorted. Go ahead and declare how you're getting to the Positive Energy Plane and where you're aiming for there.

He's also running the Charisma aura, so everyone gets +18 to Charisma checks.

Corwin

Seira plane shifts them all to the Positive Energy Plane once protections have taken hold, asking there, "So, Moore, you mentioned a sort of old-style divination for anathemic knowledge? I considered something similar, like zeroing in on the destination by searching for what can't be perceived normally. Or via a backscatter-like spell, although I don't have one handy. Were you thinking along those lines?"
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Nephrite

"Yes, that's it exactly." Moore says with a nod. "Basically, you're looking for what stands out by not standing out. Almost something like Lay of the Land, except you're looking for what you can't see."

Corwin

"I figured comparing two results, a divine and a mundane one, might show us the differences. After all, if you can weaken your spells artificially, you could probably bring your magic all the way down to mortal level too."
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

The Positive Energy Plane is like an endless sea of radiance around you all. Life itself blossoms here, a steady trickle into your bodies held at bay by your magics.

"It sounds like detecting an invisible enemy by their footprints?" Elle suggests.

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Corwin

"A bit of that, and a bit of how you can spot mental contamination in friends. If someone brave and curious suddenly finds nothing of interest in the ruins she was exploring and wants to get as far away from them as possible, you'd take it as a hint of a mind-affecting spell even if you couldn't see it for yourself, right?"
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

"It's harder when you keep forgetting," Elle points out, "That's what makes it such a thrice damned headache."

Jetina speaks up here, "Yes, but we should be able to work with this, unless the Shining Watcher is protected greatly beyond our expectations."
