So, just to have the conversation out of game, do we want to consider taking the diamond back to the shop for the first piece of intelligence we were looking for. Now we would not be out of pocket.

Hi guys,
I am travelling without internet connection until roughly Sunday night US Pacific Time.
Please don't let me hold things up!
I am happy for Fendel, Dunia or Rudzik to run Eadie while I'm away.

Hi GM ScorchedOne,
PbP Gameday VIII isn't too far away.
Do you have an estimate of when our game might be finished?

Heads up - I will be at a convention Friday through Sunday. As the sun doesn’t set up here in the summer, neither do the games stop. I will post when possible, but at a slower rate than usual. Please don’t hesitate to bot me after 24 hours if I haven’t posted.

What this character and others like her really need is a new CHA-based skill called 'Consorting': Like Handle Animal, but for dealing with Outsiders.

@Lucija, I dont think the dreams get to repeatedly inflcit the curse. Expanded Summon monster limits such abilities to once per summon of that type. It isnt in the feat description but in the Expandd Summon section of the book.
When these alternative monsters are summoned, they do not always possess the full power typical of creatures of their kind. Most have weaker versions of abilities that are normally usable at will. If a summoned creature from these lists possesses an ability that both is usable an unlimited number of times per day and requires a saving throw, a creature that attempts a saving throw against the ability becomes immune to that ability for 24 hours. This immunity also applies to that ability possessed by all other creatures of the same kind summoned by the same spellcaster.

1. I don't see where it says that.
2. I don't think this would be the same as what that block's describing. It sounds like it's talking about spell-like abilities; this is more akin to a scorpion's venom.

Sometime before leaving Hell, Lucija will attempt to persuade either the Aspis guy or the Gnomish gourmand (whoever fits the criteria of "named NPC scholar, knowledgeable spellcaster, or similar figure") to work with the Dark Archive:
Knowledge (Arcana), Faction Pin, DC 26: 1d20 + 12 + 1d4 ⇒ (12) + 12 + (2) = 26 [umpire] SAFE!!! [/umpire]

GM ScorchedOne,
I think we all qualify for the following boon:
Abstained from the Inferno: You chose not to accept the wish. You can manifest your defiance of Hell once per day as a standard action to harm evil outsiders as if you were a cleric of your character level using channel energy to harm undead.
The DC for this effect is equal to 10 + your character level. If you can already use the channel energy ability to harm evil outsiders or living creatures, you can instead use this boon once per day to increase the ability’s save DC for evil outsiders by 2.
Otherwise, my Chronicle looks good. Thanks for running!

Flekhhh, you've got a point.

As a fellow Dark Archive member, can I aid her? I would auto succeed (for +2)

Darn. Oh well.
I don't suppose we recovered any spellbooks along the way, or cursed items the curse of which I managed to avoid (I almost got that one before, but fell under the item's curse - very frustrating)?

Well, all I can say is that I'm happy I wasn't the only one who found that this scenario runs a bit long. ;)
Convention organizers should probably go a bit lighter on the more investigative, sandboxy adventures.
Sorry, I just noticed the thread title on the little recent history bar and couldn't resist.
