You know, when facing a life-detecting turret that shoots negative energy, it's nice to remember that we just picked up five tons of unliving muscle that's healed by negative energy.  Though I'll see how this situation resolved before sending in Cathy.<br/><br/>Oh, I'm guessing the Hallow effect is negated around the machine, but how far does that go?  The Hallow'd Death Ward blocks negative energy effects, so any sort of anti-life boom ain't getting very far, I don't think.  Or at the very least, those effects won't kill us if we're deep enough into Hallowspace.<br/><br/>In other news, I may bring Cathy back to life.  If we render her unconscious, and thus helpless, she automatically fails all will saves, so then I follow up with an instantaneous ritual of Dominate Animal to make her my obedient little girl, of the very living variety.  We just need some good restraints post-rez and a big source of nonlethal damage (or just some drow poison as sedatives) to render her unconscious.
