"Outside the list I went over, Recitation is the best all-rounder and I've got it covered," Jaela responds. "A combination of a nice, filling meal before we leave and Greater Heroism will make sure we won't be easily poisoned or run off. How's dimensional travel? Did you check if it works? I can pull it off plenty for all sorts of purposes, but more importantly that spell that alerts you to incoming teleportation and diverts it would be invaluable if the enemies are sent over rather than released from some cage." She snorts. "Other than that? Walls. Walls of Force are best, in fact. Death Ward is just something everyone should take where undead could be, and I'll cover that. Spell Immunity is pretty good if you can tell me the specific spells you think the traps used. Spell Turning is likewise good, if limited. Finally, Contingency to break the worst thing you can imagine happening to you. For me it was getting sick for the longest time."

"All of those could work," Kascha says, "And I can prepare backups of most anything as well as mass heal, which will take care of our injury issues."

Ebony hmmms, a low and melodic sound. "I think that covers the majority of our difficulties."

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

"In the end, there's such a thing as prepping too hard," Jaela agrees. "We've probably already done that, but let's go with this. As for the actual action plan, I figure the idea is that Surraruthru pops the chests open while I hold any summons off and negate the worst of the magic, while you two serve as backup? If that's about right, how are we getting all the treasure out quickly? And are we spending the time to look it over for traps or curses?"

This gets Ebony to consider, "Analysis may provoke further attacks, at least in the vault. I say we get it out and worry about analyzing it afterwards. There's no curse that's unbreakable."

"In that case, do all of you have a bag of holding? And got one spare, by chance? My own means are not the best for this sort of thing."

"I do not," Ebony says, Kascha shaking her head as well.

"I've got a haversack. As for popping the chests open, do we want to do that or just get the chests on a floating disk and just get out as fast as we can?"
This is not the greatest post in the world, no... this is just a tribute.

Anastasia

"Which is faster?" Kascha says, pausing as her ioun stones whirl around her head. "Ooooh, whichever's fastest, since that vault's really dangerous."

"I'm not sure which is faster. Opening and scooping into the haversack shouldn't be a problem, but if any of the chests are locked, we'll have to drag it away. I'm no locksmith."

"Hm." Kascha considers, watching her ioun stones fly around her. "The discs would probably be quicker then, but having a backup plan with the bags is a good idea."

Surraruthru nods to Kascha. "I will prepare a few castings of it, then."

Okay, so this is what we've come up with so far, that I can cast:
Tapestry Legal:
Ray Deflection, Greater Heroism, Spell Turning, Stoneskin, Energy Absorption, Iron Bones, Shield, Greater Magic Armor, Draconic Might, Might of the Planetar, Cloak of the Sea, Transformation of the Deeps

Not tapestry legal:
Celestial Valor, Energy Immunity, Naeys' Life Font

I've got a number of dispels, my highest being Reaving Dispel, and Kiss of Draconic Defiance, Duelward, and Battlemagic Perception if we need to counter spells. I figure we go in, do our quick buffs, I pop time stop, cast the floating disks, and get things moving. Ideas or things you want added via the tapestry?

Up to y'all. That said, make a summary of all the spells so I can do block updates as quickly and smoothly as possible.

Shield if you can make it. It's pretty nice, and useful vs Magic Missile. Can you chain 5 Resist Energy spells, one per element? Resist 30 is pretty nice.

We'll need to go for the Heroes's Feast for obvious reasons.

I'll be casting...

On everyone: Mass Death Ward, Fortunate Fate, Good Hope, Recitation, Water Breathing, Haste, Grace, Conviction.

On myself on top of that: Foresight, Moment of Prescience, Spell Turning, Longstrider, Righteous Halo, Crown of Flame, Celestial Brilliance, Shield of Warding, Lore of the Gods, Divine Insight, Divine Favor.

Contingency: Greater Spell Immunity if at least 6 spells/SLAs of lvl8 or lower allowing for SR are used on me, with the first 6 such spells used for the GSI.

Surraruthru's varous water spells give water breathing. It's redundant unless you're aiming for redundancy.

Contingency has issues but I posted about those on IRC.

How about...

Contingency: Stone Body if attacked with ability score damage, drowning, stunning or any spells or attacks that affect my physiology or respiration.
