There are some rather more Pavlovian approaches, though they'd amount to statutory rape... y'know, this could be fun if Sam had a better bluff score.  Pretend he/she was one of those inspired all along and come out as a confessional.  That might just be the way to go.  Though at the very least, a Suggestion could calm the kid down.<br/><br/>As for buying up the swag?  The amulet's a really good deal, so someone should probably take that.  Ithi's the only one without some form of flight, so the boots would probably be a good idea for her.  Mark probably wants the cloak.  Damage wands (dorjes, whatever) tend to suck badly, the crown's not worth it, I'd say, and the ring?  Meh.<br/><br/>Nothing in there that's particularly exciting for Sam, though I<em>might</em>grab the ring if no one else does.<br/><br/>And are we back to full health/spell power/blah?  It'd take two days for Sam to recover from the self-induced ability damage, mind.<br/><br/>In other news, I do believe there's actually a chance that I'll use Turn Undead to<em>actually</em>turn the undead for once, rather than just fueling whatever feats.
