Rana was better than nobody available, and Kass was quickly realizing that those on the material plane were<em>nowhere</em>near the level of powers of the celestials she was most used to, and people like Mistress Kavanaugh (either of them, from what she knew).  Still, the woman could do it, but it would take time... but Aria was there to 'save the day' yet again.  Indeed, for saving those granted a royal decree... even the pharaoh whom she knew comparatively little about couldn't overlook such a contribution.  That... and perhaps if Kass made a donation, and some words to the cause... well, they could be<em>far</em>better off than they would be otherwise.<br/><br/>Plans with Aria were made too, and Kass had a way to tie them all together quite well...<br/><br/>"Indeed, Aria, we will visit... Tsurlagol, was it?  Yes, we'll visits our friends who remind me much of Calisham in that very town, and make our many sales... and I have a few purchases otherwise to make as well." Kass said, confident as she pulled out a one of the many staffs (OOC: the Wish one, so that Kass can do this without the need to add in an extra posting round) "And Rana... this is a staff, capable of casting a spell that can alter reality itself... so if you will handle the more damaged body - burnt to a crisp, his skeleton intact - then when I am done with this, you can use it to bring the other man - partially eaten - back as well. Will save you some materials... but I wouldn't be<em>opposed</em>to you 'forgetting' to mention just<em>how</em>you brought him back..."<br/><br/>Her dragon had drawn a crowd, and in her amusement as she watched them she decided to make Vorela dance for the acolytes' and priestess' amusements (which mostly consisted of shifting from side to side and raising legs, wagging it's tail, and shifting it's wings and head;<em>quite</em>adorable for such a lumbering thing).  Of course, she kept it up as she<br/><br/>Turning to Rana, she gestured to the staff she still held.<br/><br/>"Shall we all get to work?  And shall we be doing it here where we can enjoy the young Anya's show, or do you think elsewhere is more appropriate?"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC for Progression</div><div class="spoiler_body">Lots of replies... sorry if I missed something but there was quite a bit to cover and respond to &gt;.&gt;<br/><br/>Okay, so... Aria needs to identify an ASSLOAD of items... I assume the resurrection will take some time, and Kass will likely attend it and use the Wish Staff (see other OOC for specifics) to her portion of the charges while Rana and Aria handle their respective duties.  When the two men are resurrected, the plan is for Kass and Aria to debrief them and send them on their way with Semmon (or at least have them prepared to), then they can go to Luthcheq for the sales, rest, and for Kass to give Aria a <em>very</em> public reward while they wait - likely naked - for their armors and whatnot to be back.  AFter that (they'll probably need to sleep first, depending on how long things take), it will be a Plane Shift from the Staff to visit Saturnia... and things will go from there.<br/><br/>That's Kass' plan anyway, but that's subject to change and Aria may have some things to add in as well</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC for Mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body">Okay, so... you made a very good note on Wish, and I thought it over and realized that's a good idea, because I don't plan on making items using it, and we have other ways of resurrecting without it.  So... 48 charges at 2 per Wish is 24 uses, so 12 each if we split it evenly, so I'll end up using 5 for a +5 to Cha, 4 for a +4 to Con, 2 for a +2 to Dex, and the last one to resurrect the Priest, leaving Rana to resurrect Karsus.  That way I don't ever have to worry about it again and can leave it off my sheet ^_^<br/><br/>Okay, so Vest of Legends subtract the +5's for 8500gp, but I'm combining it with her dancer's top (it's a Torso Slot), Badge of Valor as Slotless, and I also plan to level my gal to 26 (you said I have the XP, right?).  So, what I need to know is: gp calculation after the above, clarification that everything is A-Okay, and how much it would cost to add spells to a Runestaff, since I have no idea how much they'd cost... once I hear back from you on those, I should be able to fully update my sheet ^_^<br/><br/>Oh, and the Rings of Wizardry and Arcane might will go on her Heartwarder Ring (both are 1.5, as the most expensive is 50,000gp as well.  My gold is just disappearing! xD<br/><br/>Another Note: I'm <em>still</em> looking over items for stuff to buy so... yeah, there's a good chance I'll be buying more with her next time I post &gt;.&gt;</div></div>
