Okay, so the only thing left to do here is to drain the nexus.
Illona's sword to enchant also.
As a bonded Item I can enchant it as if I have the craft skill. Theoretically it could have occurred as part of the draining ritual.
[threadjack]
I am apologize for the threadjack and disturbing, but I would like to just remaind Nightflier of "Return to Korvosa" game. Hopefully you have the time to keep this game going or other business to attend, which takes time. Just to inform us players, since we all are waiting. Some time has just passed and would like to hear something about this[/threadjack]
So is Ilona bald now? ;P

Of course not, Gilian special hair ointment protects your hair in the worst environments. It's even dragon breath tested. Buy it for only 2 vp a bottle. ;P

I have posted in the game thread. The game will pick up soon.

Just post here how you want to enchant your blade, and when I approve, post the description of the action in the game thread. After that I will write another dream sequence and the next part of the game will begin.
pretty sure that because you need to be 3x the level of the enchantment mod all she can do right now is make a +1 weapon.
Though there are a few enchantments and tricks that technically don't count as a +1 mod, so she could stack those on all she wants with your ok.
Which ones were you thinking of?
Ok I'm definitely going with +1 weapon, which then allows for the application of item familiar, (obviously after meditation and communing with the spirit of the blade).

I am fine with that. I'm waiting to see her enchantment plan.
Hmm. Big obstacle.
According to the Arcane bond description, you can enchant your item as if you had the proper item creation feats, but you still need to meet the level requirements.
Craft Arms and Armor requires 5th level.
The only feat she can have is Craft Wondrous Item.
Lucky for us, that's the best one (since anything can be a wondrous item.
Looking at you are limited to spells you cast, but lucky for us we have a Ritual Caster in our midst, so you are counted as the caster for any spell that the entire group has.
There's a lot of options there, especially since XP and gold piece costs aren't an issue. We're pretty much limited only by time and creativity.
Under the rules, stacking multiple enchantment effects on the same item only increases the cost of subsequent enchantments by 1.5x normal. Again, not really an issue because we're in midnight and don't need to light diamonds on fire to enchant stuff.
Some possibilities based on the spells our group has. You could make the sword act as-
a cloak of resistance +1
a pearl of power (1st or 2nd level)
gloves of arrow snaring (sword blocks arrows = cool)
There's a lot of other possibilities, especially if you want to get into items with Charges
I'm thinking +1 maybe an effect using ghost sound, and obviously light. I think the idea of a building chorus being heard whenever she's in battle would go well with the sword's name.
I love the gloves of arrow snaring effect.
[another threadjack]Nightflier, I've taken my turn as DM in the Master's Forge. I'm making things move a little quicker than the previous DM. We're going to run an encounter, so if you want to jump in, you're welcome.[/End of second thredjack]
I'm thinking +1
Unfortunately you can't actually give the sword an enhancement bonus yet. An On Use Ghost Sound and Light effect, and the Arrow Snaring effect are both doable at your level.
We need to calculate cost to figure out crafting time length, but other than that we're good.
Ilona and Ragnar fighting together is going to be like a rock concert. Light and sound everywhere.
I'd go with Ghost Sound/Light/Arrow snaring and if possible, 1st level Pearl of power.
I'd store Magic Weapon, coupled with the bonded item ability to store a spell (also magic weapon) meaining that for at least 2 battles a day Requiem will aso be a +1 sword for a few rounds.
And yeah Ilona and Ragnar in combat are a Nightwish video.
The only thing we need to worry about here is time taken to enchant. 15 energy is more than we can possibly use on Requiem.
Here's your shopping cart. Pick as many of them as you want. The most expensive effect you pick is the Primary effect, all other abilities are Secondary. Secondary effects are 1.5x listed cost, which basically just means 1.5x listed time taken.
---------------------
Protection From Arrows 2000 = 2 days
Light (0th level, cast at 1st, use activated/continuous) 1000 = 1 day
Ghost Sound (0th level, cast at 1st, 2nd or 3rd, use activated/continuous) 1000, 2000 or 3000 = 1, 2 or 3 days
Pearl of Power (1st) effect 1000 = 1 day
some other options-
On hit cast Healing Sting on target x1 per day (2nd level, cast at 3rd, spell trigger) 2160 = 2 days
Continuous Resist Energy (fire) (2nd level cast at 3rd, continuous) 12,000 = 12 days
making this list and doing this research has made me realize how ridiculously better Bonded Item is than a regular familiar.
I'd go with.
Protection From Arrows 2000 = 2 days
Light (0th level, cast at 1st, use activated/continuous) 1000 = 1 day
Ghost Sound (0th level, cast at, 2nd use activated/continuous), 2000 or 3000 = 2 days
Pearl of Power (1st) effect 1000 = 1 day
Weirdly enough, I don't think any of our casters have Ghost Sound. I think you're going to have to research it. ;)
Will do.
Not to sound pushy, are we waiting on anything in particular? Also Nightflier, I doubt this will matter for a level or two but I would really like to see that War Smith class you've been working on.

I've been waiting for Illona to tell us whether she is bald or not ;P
Heh, whatever could you mean Chops?
Well. Illona took off all of her clothes to go into the fire to keep them from being burnt. Her skin was continuously burnt and healed, but hair is effectively clothes that grow out of our bodies and not something that can heal, just regrow. In a sense, once burned off, she should have to wait the normal 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) per month growth rate.
I, of course, never meant anything more than that >o< :D
IC seems to have stalled out a bit.
Are we waiting on Nightflier to post there? Or is Ilona posting something in IC?
Posted to close the scene and get things moving, left opening for a dream sequence if Nightflier is so inclined.
Sorry, guys. I was called on a family emergency during the weekend, so I haven't read the thread. I'm back now, though. During the last two months RL impaired the game and I am truly sorry about that. I'll try to make it up to you.
No problem. Real life takes precedence. Hope everything's going alright.

It's pretty much settled. Not a big deal, but time consuming.
Gilian stretches as she wakes, strangely refreshed by this strange dream.
She gets up with a renewed purpose and starts to pack her belongings."We have tarried long enough here. We still are ahead of Zafina and her troop and we should move. I think the refugees will survive here and if we stay here too long they may rely too much on us. Let's wait for Ilona to wake up and go."
Illona only took about a day to attune to the nexus, and she hasn't even started enchanting her weapon. That will take about a week. Then we have to drain it, which will take time as well.
We're nowhere near ready to leave.
If everything's ok'd I can write up the enchanting plocess unless Nightflier wants to wax expository and speedup thre process. Either way is fine by me.

That sounds good. I'm ready to move on.
I know it would be a waste but since we don't have any of the item creation feats to make a handful of useful items, it could simply be used to power spells once the enchanting is complete. Due to the fact the nexus is rather weak if our only goal is to exhaust it, it won't take very long at all.

If you know how you want to enchant the blade, you can write it up. If not, I'm gonna do it for you. The whole week can be covered in one post, basically. After that, you will be dream-guided to the next stepping stone.
Go for it, I'll react as approriate. The one element I want to add is mage hand so that Requiem comes to my hand jedi style at all tmes if in range.

Requiem is now +1 magic weapon. It has several other abilities.
1) Return to the hand: Requiem responds to Ilona's will as guided by her hand. This ability functions as Mage Hand spell.
2) Bright is the death: Requiem's blade burns with dark purplish flames. They are small in size, looking like the natural gas burning. They shed the light equal to that of a torch. This ability functions as Light spell.
3) Kiss of death: Whenever Requiem ends a life in the heat of battle, it drains a piece of the slain person's soul. Requiem absorbs 1d4 points of spell energy from the killed being, as long as it is alive and not undead, construct or similar creature. Requiem can store an amount of spell energy equal to his wielder's spellcasting ability modifier plus the wielder's character level.
Ilona, please change the Requiem's description in your profile.

WHAT? It's cool. ;p
Besides which with bonded item you can't cast spells without it.

Love it. The shift to a more powerful yet more elegant blade is very "Bleach"

I haven't watched "Bleach", but perhaps I should. I just had an image of you casting spells directly from the blade and decided that the nexus' necromantic affinity should be reflected in some significant way in description of the blade and its powers.
you know that thingwhere I said I wouldn't have the birds talk to each other forever? I totally lied. What I meant was I won't do it often :)
hope no one minds
My life is back in order, finally. We have finished the nexus part of the game and the next part is to begin. Are everyone still here? Chops, you still with us? :)
All of you, 1 Fate Point for draining the nexus and destroying the Progenitor of the Black Blood dwarfs.
Yep. I just figured that after my side-story with Solvistania, that I would not interrupt the forging and the nexus.
...you smoke the meat and rub it with herbs ...
I think it is rub the meat and smoke the herbs. ;P
we going to introduce Viscount any time soon?
Looks like it's a dungeon crawl coming up. Think it's too late to push him into playing a rogue?
