Okay, we have some people with a lot of negative levels which I think have a real risk of turning permanent. I think we have a couple of options here:
1. When I last ran this I had a similar situation and I allowed one of the group to spend the 5pp to access spellcasting services outside of a settlement of 5000 people, essentially having their faction dispatch a caster to help out. I am well aware I was probably stretching the rules to allow it but thought I would flag it up as a possible option.
2. We could withdraw for the day and tomorrow I could teleport people with negative levels back to a city to get a restoration before they have to make the saves. I have 4 level 5 spell slots and my arcane bond which can all be used for it and I can take myself and 3 others with each cast.
3. We press on and take the risk that they turn permanent tomorrow. That will mean adventuring with significant penalties and making multiple saves, starting with a penalty equal to the number you have. I will happily cast heroism on anyone who wants it tomorrow if that will help (table variation exists on whether or not you can easily time when such spells are needed). If we have other save boosters I also recommend giving them to anyone who is going to be forced to save (my cloak is only +2).
I don't think we are within walking distance of a settlement where we could get a spellcasting service. As a reminder, a restoration will remove all temporary negative levels at a cost of 380gp. If a temporary negative level becomes permanent then each one costs 1280gp or 4pp to remove.

None of the intel suggested a time limit. We may have to deal with the ghost again but teleporting back and getting the cheaper restorations sounds like a good idea. Irizati was going to reduce Baloo anyway so teleporting will be easier.

I'm liking the idea of teleporting back. With six restorations, for Auri alone, this is going to be expensive even without permanent negative levels.
7x4=28=280gp +100gp component=380*6 = 2280
If they turn permanent that baloons out to 1280*6 or 7680.
Oh for want of 7th level cleric!

One resto does all temporary levels I think.
Auriferous
|
Oh, that is much better. Makes the trip even more worthwhile too.

Godfrey does have 1 scroll of restoration, so that's an alternative if we want to stay we can at least fix Auriferous. But if we can do it, the teleport away and back will likely be better and safer.

I am happy to help pitch in to get what we need to restore everyone. Since the ghost isn't destroyed, I suspect we will face it again. So if we go back, I would also invest in something to help hurt this thing.

I am willing to allow some one to pay the 5PP to have a spellcaster come out.
With that said, I do not have access to my PDFs today, so will update game play tomorrow or possibly late tonight.
@Numair, I need your character number, I have the first part from a previous scenario I ran for you. Just need what is after the dash.

Since I can't really use most of the things we spend prestige on I'll eat the 5 PP.
| GM Z..D.. |
Ok, Irizati is spending the prestige. Go ahead and restore yourselves as needed.

I assume that calling up a faction caster will take at least some time so that buffs might run out? Can we get an idea of how long it will take as we may want to rest in any event before continuing.

I am going to be away from the boards until next Monday, Nov 27. Please feel free to bot me while I am away.

August, i think I did you sheet right. Never had some one play for no credit before
Irizati Grunyar

I'll add the -5 Prestige to my sheet. Thank you for GMing.

Many thanks for running and to everyone playing, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Auriferous

Yes, many thanks all. That was one nasty combat in the middle. But nice that we only had the one in the end!

Oh, sorry - I think you misunderstood. I was playing this scenario for credit - it is just that I have played other scenarios for no credit, and wasn't sure if they were counted in the Chronicle number or not.
Any chance you can do me a new sheet?

No problem. It has been updated.
