Shatter is cleric/oracle 2 and sorcerer/wizard 2. Am I missing a reason you can’t cast it?
Hmmm I checked the spell list and it seems to be a bonus domain spell from the Destruction domain. Ayako is Dark Tapestry oracle
It is a domain spell for destruction domain. It is also on the regular 2nd level spell list for cleric/oracle.
Huh.
So Shatter scrolls would be Level 2x10x25=500 base. Maximized is...?
+3 Level increase
So maybe 4 or 5 of them.
Plus Hallow
5x9x25=1125
Dispel Evil
5x10x25=1250 each. 3=3750
Let me know once your preparations are complete and where you are resuming your exploration of the castle.

Shatter is on my list as well.
I'm happy to get several scrolls of them.
Just need to figure out the cost.
Never mind rocket tag, this is nuke tag.
Shatter is a 2nd level spell. You could buy a wand.
A normal scroll of shatter would be 150 gp.
A maximized scroll of shatter would be 1125 gp.
IRON CIRCLET OF GUARDED SOULS would be a nice investment.
4,500 gp for a base Shatter Wand, Maximized would be a whole lot
Maybe with just 10 charges?
Bought Another Death Ward Scroll and 4 scrolls of shatter just in case
You would need a summon, that can cast from a scroll. Just get two dozen summons and send them in.
Iron Circlet is 30k!
Don't go overboard on the scrolls and such. The creature only has so many hit points. You'll probably destroy it in a round or two since you have all this foreknowledge.
*Eyes suspiciously* Oh yes, that is what you WANT us to think don't you? Get us all buttered up and then WHAM! It is all you can eat soul buffet for Mr. Demilich. I can just see you, chuckling behind your monitor. YES! YES!
Iron Circlet is 30k!
Maybe borrow it from the shop? Teleport to the lich, kill it and teleport back.
Shopkeeper: we'll let you borrow it for 30k. Feel free to bring it back.
More like "Let me make a test run." *disappear*
... 30 long seconds later ...
*reappear* "Nah, it's not to my liking."
We could get a Quest/Geas to bring it back
Ok
Cloak of Resistance+2 upgraded to +3 5000 gp

I’m going to assume you are ready and waiting for me then. I’ll move you back to the castle in a post soon then.
I have no idea what I should reasonably take for this endeavour so I improve my cloak from +3 to +5 for 16.000 and leave it with that.
Undead bane arrows? Bump your bow up +1? And extra plus could squeak a hit out of a miss.
My bow counts as undead bane anyway inside the castle. And +1 would cost 8k as I'm at +1 corrosive already. And to hit is not really my problem when shooting at +21 with haste. If I get a whole series of arrows shot at the demilich, then it will be over pretty quick. With some shatter from scrolls added in.
But I see nothing, that would really help keep Tyrandro alive, item wise. That will hopefully be covered by your spells. And the problem of shooting through the telekinetic storm, I also see no item solution.
A Bralani Azata's Wind Wall could help, as well as an Air Elemental's Whirlwind
I'll have both Seb and Iolana update tonight. I ran out of time over the weekend.
Thanks Iolana. No rush
Messed up the map, sorry.

Actually my magic circle against Evil gives us some chances.
Here's what Protection from Evil Says:
First, the subject gains a +2 deflection bonus to AC and a +2 resistance bonus on saves. Both these bonuses apply against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures.
Second, the subject immediately receives another saving throw (if one was allowed to begin with) against any spells or effects that possess or exercise mental control over the creature (including enchantment [charm] effects and enchantment [compulsion] effects, such as charm person, command, and dominate person). This saving throw is made with a +2 morale bonus, using the same DC as the original effect. If successful, such effects are suppressed for the duration of this spell. The effects resume when the duration of this spell expires. While under the effects of this spell, the target is immune to any new attempts to possess or exercise mental control over the target. This spell does not expel a controlling life force (such as a ghost or spellcaster using magic jar), but it does prevent them from controlling the target. This second effect only functions against spells and effects created by evil creatures or objects, subject to GM discretion.
Third, the spell prevents bodily contact by evil summoned creatures. This causes the natural weapon attacks of such creatures to fail and the creatures to recoil if such attacks require touching the warded creature. Summoned creatures that are not evil are immune to this effect. The protection against contact by summoned creatures ends if the warded creature makes an attack against or tries to force the barrier against the blocked creature. Spell Resistance can allow a creature to overcome this protection and touch the warded creature.
This is in regards to the curse?
...
Selling everything else found thus far, you each get 83,540 gp.
...
Just to be sure, because I obviously missed it the last time: We got 83,540gp EACH? I stumbled over that while updating my saves according to my new cloak and checking for the change to note it down.
I believe that is correct. We got big hauls of loot that we had yet to cash in before popping out to Magnimar
That is correct, Tyrandro. If you need to retroactively purchase something, go ahead.
Iolana, what were you thinking the protection from evil would help against? The mummy's despair aura?
I looked at that, and the aura is not a spell and does not have the enchantment [charm] or [compulsion] tags. It does have the following tags though: mind-affecting, paralysis, and fear. I don't think the protection from evil help in this case. Remove fear or remove paralysis, or something along those lines would. The +2 resistance bonus to saves would apply but the resistance bonus does not stack with a cloak of resistance, so since you all have cloaks of at least +2 at this point, you gain no additional bonus to saves from the spell.
24,000gp to add holy to the bow.
16,000gp to get the cloak to +5 (from last time)
30,000gp for the iron circlet of guarded souls.

I was thinking it would help with the Aura. I'm so glad you know what's needed to heal us up from these horrible curses and such.
Moved Mushu next to Fluffy for more exploring.
Fluffy might need a fang upgrade.
Fluffy doesn't like to bite undead anyway.
Just consider it well aged
Have you ever checked the best before date on the bottom of undead? They are way over that.
Ok, time to make like Batman and prep
Death Ward from Ayako's spells and scrolls on all of us.
The Ambrosia that was served up
Blessing of Fervor to speed us up.
So an air elemental might be able to deal with the debris cloud. Once everyone has a clear shot, Tyrando can start shooting and Iolana and I can use Shatter(Maybe toss a scroll to Laori if she can use them)
I do have the Pag of Spell Knowledge to lay down a silence to help against it's Wail of the Banshee.
Just out of curiosity - isn't Wail of the Banshee a death effect?
Wail of the Banshee
School necromancy [death, sonic]; Level shaman 9, sorcerer/wizard 9, witch 9; Domain death 9, repose 9
Death Ward+SIlence on a coin. Perhaps have the elemental carry the coin with it and instruct it beforehand.
Death ward is on a creature. But I had the wrong impression it would make immune to death effects. Now I'm afraid again. I really hope we beat this thing in initiative.
Shatter was specifically called out, but what about Disintegrate? Do we think that would work? Not that I think the battle will last too many rounds.
Whoops. I mean
Death Ward on all of us
Air Elemental with instructions to carry a coin with Silence on it over to the skull
We open fire on the skull, When it rises up, the elemental forms a whirlwind to disperse the debris cloud and the Silence spell hopefully negates the Wail of the Banshee.
Keep shooting Shatter spells(Myself,Iolana,Laori if she is able) While Tyrando shoots and Sebastion stabs with whatever Sial can manage
I hope it is over after the first round. That thing does all this horrible stuff at will.
