The Setup: My party and I just hit level 12. We are currently harnessing a BBEG who has hunkered down inside a large sturdy temple. We have made various forays inside and began to kill off his supporters in order to make our final attack easier. During these forays it was discovered that the BBEG is trying to perform some type of ritual. (I don't want to give exacts because I don't want to give away spoilers) We also want to make it difficult for the BBEG to recover his spells for the day. As a divine caster, he does not need sleep, but still requires "a relatively peaceful environment" for spell preparation. We are seeking to deny this relatively peaceful environment.
The party is taking turns in disturbing the peace in and around the temple.
My Goal: I want my disruption to be truly memorable.
My character is a psychic. The plan thus far is for me to teleport to a market where elephants are sold, possess one of the elephants, then teleport my limp body and the elephant back to town. Once near the temple, I plan on casting Animal Growth (rebirth discipline psychics can poach a spell from another class). This will turn me into a gargantuan elephant pushing 100,000 pounds. Imagine the disruption I could cause just by trampling around, ramming the temple walls and trumpeting.
Advice: So, what I'm looking for is how can I make this plan more ridiculous/better.
Maybe get a potion of Clarion Call?
You could use Charm Animal on a herd of elephants and Speak with Animals to convince them all to attack the temple and trumpet loudly. You just have to make a DC 13 Diplomacy check for each one. And you get 12 hours from it while you can stack on another scheme, if you wish.
Just a question... Are you buying/renting the elephant from the market, or stealing it?
If you can acquire kaava musk or something like it, dumping it in the area should keep other animals coming. Also it probably stinks to high heaven. Shrieking paste could work similarly against another sense.
An elixir of the thundering voice 'makes the user’s voice fiercer and louder' for an hour.
I suppose I will buy the elephant. I may want it as a pet. And at 1,000 gold it is pretty affordable at this level. Another option would be a Mastadon as 2,000 gold.
The paste ideas definitely have merit.
