...Plotting in progress, please wait ...
*Evil plot 75% complete
I suggest using spoilers for Telepathy.
Good thinking
Hmm - any evil masterplan will likely have to wait until Blep know why he has been summoned. I'm going to take the opportunity to ask a few questions instead : )
Regarding Infernal Bargain do I have to have the material components of the spell, or is the performance in itself sufficient? And do I actually 'need' to pay, since the bargain uses an opposed charisma check to convince the outsider to do my bidding (like Planar Binding, the wizard spell) or could I just use the payment as additional leverage if I conjure something more impressive? (for example, I could see offering goods and such if one were to try and summon a Glabrezu - but not if I am summoning an Imp, who I could intimidate or bluff into doing my bidding)
Okay - if I don't want them to do anything, just summon them I assume there would be no cost?
Nice - it's good to know that I have an emergency food supply then =)
Basic idea, *(as yet unnamed) wishes to perfect himself, and that is all thank you, unless you have a interesting brain to sell. For an illithid this is a perfectly worthy pursuit, and * seems different only in caring more a bit more about brains and less about trinkets than is usual. But * has a deep and terrible secret: he wants the sun back! In his youth, he had the the good fortune of finding a nymph for sale, and promptly bought her. What wonders would this rare creature's brain contain? Always a inquisitive and impressionable soul, * partook with abandon and felt... a longing for the sun, and for green growing things, and... what IS this madness?! And so began *'s decent into something that is not quite madness, but not quite sanity either. You see, once that door was opened, it couldn't be readily shut, and bits of the creatures *'s consumed have become a part of him, leaving him a rather confused individual.
Does he really want to beat his chest and participate in a wild orgy? No, no, that must be yesterday's orc snack. Why do I know the birthday of a human female child? Oh yes, I ate her mother a while ago, best not eat the child then, last time it led to a ferocious headache. (A bit like Echo from Dollhouse, if you've seen it. I'm fascinated by the idea of what would happen if you really could take pieces of another creature's mind and make them a part of you. Could you really gain a creature's perform skill without feel that creature's love of music? The bardic knowledge also provides a good explanation/rationale for a character acting odd. Who knows what little bits are bubbling to the surface?)
I'm going for vacation for two weeks and I'm not sure if I can get to the internet then. Just in case, I'll wish you a happy new year (and merry christmas, if you celebrated it :)). Feel free to NPC my char meanwhile :)
I'm gonna be off and on today, as it's my birthday, and stuff is probably going to go on here.
I didn't realize, but I never got my extracts together. Do you want me to assume I didn't have any prepared, or come up with a standard list?
Alright. I'll have that up soon.

Also, would you consider Master Chymist being accessible with sneak attack replacing bombs in the pre-requisites and advancement, provided we level enough for me to qualify?
I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do. I suspect the others are too based on the limited responses. DM, can you perhaps point us in the right direction.
I can damage it with eldrich blasts, but I may have to blow all my spells to make a dent.
Who wants to lead?
Myron's fine, I suppose. Xal is nowhere near the "leader" type.
Vecthan is more a loner(running from trouble as he is), he wouldn't be the leader. I'm fine with who ever folks would want.
