Mark of Treachery


Advice


My 11th level arcanist has been stamped by a "Mark of Treachery" given by a Glabrezu.

Mark of Treachery: The wisher gains a mark of treachery somewhere on her body. This mark appears as a fist-sized tattoo that combines the seven-pointed spiral of the sign of the Abyss (see page 3) and the glabrezu's name (not its true name) written in Abyssal in a circle within the sign. This mark can only be removed by a miracle or wish, and only then if the caster makes a DC 30 caster level check. As long as the wisher is marked, the glabrezu can observe the world through the marked person's senses and can communicate telepathically with her. At any point thereafter, the glabrezu can demand a service of the marked person—this allows the glabrezu to affect that person with a geas/quest to carry out the service if the person agrees to do the service. Agreeing to this causes the mark to fade. If the marked person refuses, she is immediately affected by a destruction spell (CL 14th, DC 22) and the glabrezu can demand the service again 1 round later. A mark of treachery persists through death and any resurrections that follow.

I don't have access or money for a miracle or wish spell. What is the most effective way to remove it?

Alternatively, what is the most effective/cheap way to call and kill the Glabrezu responsible? I have craft wondrous item.

No idea but ... ouch!


Use craft wondrous items to raise the money. It states in the description the only way to remove it is with a wish/miracle.

You could also try being killed and reincarnated instead of raised or resurrected, but that may not work.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Sounds like you just need to kill the Glabrezru. Do you have high bluff? You may be able to trick it into a trap.


Sadly, my bluff is pretty bad.

I doubt my DM will let me sit around crafting items and gaining money without the world ending.

Rough!


You should wait to do the inevitable geas/quest, since the GM will hopefully set up a cool story based around it. You can always try to atone afterwards.


As soon as the Glabrezu asks for its favor - loudly agree to fullfil it and imediately have someone cast CL16 Remove Curse on you (and hope you fail the Will save) or kill you and bring you back to life.
