Yeah, that's lots debufs to throw around. Although you should raise levels up to 7th to get greater curse some point. Also hexbands which give your charisma bonus to damage rolls vs cursed target.<br/><br/>Anyways here is my char updated to 10th level;<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Ameesril  Xorlarrin</strong></span>(http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=848801)<br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i014.radikal.ru/0806/aa/d5a616ed224b.jpg)</div><div class="floatleft"><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Past nine years</div><div class="spoiler_body">The accident where a outsider using disguises slaughtered several acolytes remained as a mystery for many years. It was investigated many years what happened exactly. However after doing it's strikes on several acolyte groups (and killing more than seasoned priestess) the outsider vanished. Some even speculate it was not a outsider at all but a powerful assassin (a someone who wanted cripple drow community through striking dead center; to Lolth clergy) which fooled Ameesril by speaking original incident being launched by a outsider (the same female drow which no doubt was disguised perpetrator).<br/><br/>But either through luck or fate, Ameesril was sole survivor of her year class and more than half both from senior and three from fourth younger acolytes were killed that day. The whole event was covered up by Lolth clergy and they initiated a harsh punishments for ever talking about it nor any details spilled (go so far as kill and sacrifice any loose lipped acolyte in most gruesome tortures ever invented by elders). However naturally rumor and gossip existed, as it was obvious massacre as several acolytes mysteriously 'vanished' and only matron mothers are aware what was cause of death of their daughters and have sworn to silence. As even if blow was severe, the older priestess took it as their duty to recover from the loss....by placing all surviving acolytes into harshest forms of tasks and tests to get 'best of the best' from lucky survivors ensure future prosperity and make up loss in numbers with quality.<br/><br/>It resulted in ruthless regime where any weakness or heresy or misconception were not tolerated, every student in Arach Tinilith was driven on wall and rammed repeatedly against it with various tests, exams and tasks set before by the elder priestesses. Many students got mutilated as form of punishment, some luckier ones got healed after torture punishments so they retained their looks and functional limbs. Deaths were minimal, nay, it was strictly forbidden to kill any acolytes expect ones which break the only one rule which was silence about the event in the past. Ameesril herself ended few times punished harshly but the times when she did hammered lessons firmly to her head and she suffered no permanent scars from them.<br/><br/>But what Ameesril faced was several competitive tests placed against both senior and lesser acolytes. Ameesril became increasingly resourceful student; all senior students viewed her as a threat as she send more than one priestess to same or even lesser rank than her among students. She especially excelled in tests which dealt with lore especially and spellcraft and influence, also in direct spell duels she won them thanks combination of her divine spells as cleric and arcane as warlock. What she did though was to form network of allies and alliances (even under false alias) among younger student body which worked for her and sometimes even against each other with idea that 'her mistress opposes my mistress' when in truth she played role of both mistresses. All just keep illusion going on.<br/><br/>Besides the tests and trials created by senior priestesses (and couple sabotage attempts by senior students) she had to endure also Lolth's own assigned tests as well and quite several. She had faced these tests before but there was clear intensity to them from before....as even Lolth herself seemed want drive on purpose students on edge into outright terror and complete utter ruthless in power games. Many students failed their tests and got either killed, turned to driders or other horrors. Thus leaving only handful of students compared to past years (a very diminished amount) but end results speak for themselves; every graduate student will be top tier in power, cunning and influence. The overall list of trials for Ameesril is long but significant are listed in below and are known in public (in priesthood anyways);<br/><br/><div class="floatleft"><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Test of Lies: Seducer of Acolytes</div><div class="spoiler_body">Ameesril first tests started soon after the incident and which she successfully pulled off for eight years (until test of doubt occurred to her). She started masquerade as various personae among acolytes and use them for her goals (and benefit theirs) and build effective network with the survivors and helping every charge under her prosper but also make their downfalls when needed. Including creating feuds between acolytes to keep them focusing on each other or ever think or doubt about nature of their mistress (even masquerade as acolyte to create rivalries). She even made alliance networks where she was central figure under alias. Only rare one or two she was in her real appearance involved and her circle was not aware of trickery she was pulling with rest acolytes (and sometimes was lover to member of her circle and encourage treacherous activity towards own circle as to test their loyalty).<br/><br/>Once it was revealed how vast her network was....it impressed all mistresses in Arach Tinilith, Mistress Iraeuitna Dyrr especially as it showed how skilled Ameesril was in social scale and in arts of seduction; promises which brought false hope for acolytes and made them <em>believe</em> her lies. So thus it was concluded among mistresses that test of deception and lies was a success which helped Ameesril climb in ladder of power in the church of Lolth.<br/></div></div></div><br/><br/><div class="floatleft"><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Test of Loyalty: Betrayal of Blood-Kin</div><div class="spoiler_body">Ameesril did not start alone in her ploy in making network of allies; her cousin who studied in Sorcerer helped her achieve her goal and in return she gave him few favors what as acolyte she could to him. Even having affair with him as he had always been smitten by her smoky sensual looks and she gladly exploited their relationship to benefit her. She did not plan betray him so long he remained useful.<br/><br/>However, Lolth wanted test her loyalties; she whispered on her cousin ear about betrayal plans and some lies to make her cousin furious enough to attack her next time when they met in private location which they had set for their meetings. Lolth warned beforehand what was going to happen and what she demanded of her....so Ameesril slew her cousin and disposed his remains. He was student but compared in magical arts he was inferior to Ameesril.<br/></div></div></div><br/><br/><div class="floatleft"><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Test of Mettle: Poisoned Dinner</div><div class="spoiler_body">Naturally one her alliances planned kill one her aliases and take her place. Her divinations and resources told as much, but then instead preparing spells which allowed ignore poisons or reveal them, Lolth refused give them to her and with that Ameesril realized what Lolth demanded from her; to boldly participate in poisoned dinner and not suffocate on the venom with her own hardiness (or aid of alchemy). She drinked antitoxin before dinner to bolster her chances and she then participated in the dinner, eating all various poisonous meals and endured no ill effect much for the stunned shock of her underlings who sought poison her.<br/><br/>However Ameesril did not set just to endure but make a play of her own; she had added poison to simple tea which was brought by a servant. She then informed her underlings she was aware of the poison in food and (lied) that she had warded herself from the ill effects of the poison. What's more she had poisoned every dish which dinner party had thought was not poisoned. If they had taken even single bite from poisoned food the poison would had counteracted itself in their system and thus they will be fine. The antidote to Ameesril poison laid before them in form of mushroom brewed tea. However the one who takes from said tea will be considered to be one who plotted to kill her and thus was one who did not take even single sip or bite from food intended poison Ameesril.<br/><br/>All acolytes greedily slurped the poisoned tea and planned to kill her....and thus all succumbed to the real venom and even in overdose of said venom in their gluttony for the tea. Although there was strict rule not kill acolytes, the mistress who questioned Ameesril about the event accepted her judgment (she had right for self-defense after all) on the matter and praised for clever nature of it.<br/></div></div></div><br/><br/><div class="floatleft"><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Test of Strength: Test of Arms</div><div class="spoiler_body">Considering over the years growing influence and success in various scholarly pursuits brought rivals and those who feared her. So then group of senior priestesses who had recently graduated but knew Ameesril will year later be easy surpass them arranged scenario where she is forced to fight when weakest; in contest of direct combat with no spells allowed to be cast! The freshly graduated priestesses influenced Mistress Haelra Kenafin to arrange test of arms for Ameesril (mentioning their doubt her fitness as priestess physically and lack of physical exercise). Mistress was influenced and she told then Ameesril prepare for a test tomorrow against another priestess and Ameesril (as usual) prepared and casted divination and she found out the test will be a duel between a graduated priestess and her....using only physical skills with arms.<br/><br/>Ameesril then found loophole what she could use. She prepared self buffing spells with long duration and she cast each and every spell before entering the class room where she was immediately given weapon and pointed to duel with graduated priestess. If she would fail test it would demote her and could delay her graduation by year depending how badly it goes....without her spells it would had gone very badly.<br/><br/>Instead she used her buffed spells and her innate divine gift with Lolth to fuel her blows with wild frenzy devotion! It caught her competitor off guard and she was winning! This point Mistress Haelra would had noticed that Ameesril had buffed herself before the fight....and as divination shown she accepted it, as duel was after all 'no spells cast <em>during</em> it'. Nothing was discussed about before battle. But even so it showed her student's understanding of close combat even if normally she does not fight in it and Mistress Haelra was impressed with knowledge she showed.<br/><br/>However, when Ameesril was about give finishing blow....she felt pain in her chest and she gurgled blood and then collapsed dead on ground while a baby fiendish widowmaker spider chewed it's way out from her chest much to astonishment to the students and instructors around. The fresh graduated priestess laughed and declared that Lolth had found Ameesril wanting and none could argue about it and Mistress Haelra then even doubted her own judgment on the situation allowing Ameesril enter duel magically buffed. Wondering would it had spared otherwise excellent student's life? None the less victor took the spider as her pet, trophy and memento from the duel and used her clerical arts to control it easily as it was young spider.<br/><br/>But none knew the deception what Lolth laid before them; Ameesril had succeed on her test and now she was given ultimate test to any cleric or servant to Lolth suffer; Test of Doubt. Also a test which will bring enclosure to events from years ago.<br/></div></div></div><br/><br/><div class="floatleft"><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Test of Doubt: Life as Spider (Important to read)</div><div class="spoiler_body">At end of Test of Strength (which Ameesril had succeed but not left enjoy fruits of her labor) had been transformed into baby fiendish widowmaker and with divine gift turned into a pet to the victor who was unaware of true nature of the spider which had exploded from Ameesril's chest upon her death. Lolth had turned Ameesril's soul into a spider which had chewed itself out from former vessel; Ameesril's drow body. Ameesril had all her memories and personality, but none her powers as warlock nor as cleric. She was limited in form of spider....which was compelled to obey the wench whom she had fought in duel and basically won if not count unable make finishing blow!<br/><br/>She questioned daily; <em>Why? Did I do wrong? Am I unworthy?</em> All these passed through Ameesril's mind as she lived on as spider. She could not attack nor defy her 'mistress' but otherwise had freedom so she explored her new form and life while she quietly contemplated. She came to conclusion that whatever she had done would not had deserved this fate, as if Lolth would not had wanted her use knowledge to her advantage vs the duel, she would had denied her answer to her inquiry about it. So why she is spider? There must be grander goal to it beyond her understanding so without giving on hope she lived, learned and studied as a spider.<br/><br/>She endured the daily lessons and she acted like any regular spider while she did understood perfectly commands given by her mistress. She ate like spider and she took a quiet curious study of life around her through spider's eyes. Many interesting insights and she often prowled the temple grounds, hunting and exploring. She grew rapidly during the months from tiny spider to all way to medium size. She noticed acolytes had figured out her deception which she had pulled for eight years, silently lamenting that such useful tool she had had been crumbled. Also no one spoke about Ameesril, but that's expected; no one speak about failed acolytes even if much revered like Ameesril. Her belongings had been taken by the church and her room emptied and reoccupied by new acolyte which she spend day stalking and observing.<br/><br/>Then came the day which would be one much treasured triumphant moments in Ameesril's life so far....her mistress had started talk to Ameesril, grow fond of her like any spider pet owner. After all spiders are mindless and thus they do not tell any secrets right? Well she revealed, foolishly, that she had arranged years ago the assassinations! By calling in a powerful assassin demon to get rid of rivals and empty temple from acolytes so she could have easier time to climb in ladder! How stupid it was as after that the mistresses became hyper harsh in judgment and using whips for punishments. But she swore she will become mistress and pays them back for their painful numerous lessons....<br/><br/>In that moment Ameesril felt furious surge through her! Feeling her divine gifts return and thus her will and no longer bound by mistress will! So she with screeching clitter of fangs attacked her mistress! Sinking fangs to her neck and starting suck her neck dry while pinning her down on the bed, she had succeed activate alarm but it was no avail; she was already dead in bed and Matron Mistress Triel Baenre entered the room (she had been nearest and she heard the alarm and feared another assassination accident could occur anytime), so she saw firstly fiendish widowmaker sucking dry on it's owner....a very unusual sight but a one which leaves no doubt about victim's loss of favor with Lolth.<br/><br/>Then spider changed form into Ameesril herself, naked and teeth clenching on the traitor's neck. It stunned her as she had thought Ameesril had been dead over a year....but instead had been living in form of widowmaker. Other mistresses also gathered witness this weird miracle but very quickly Mistress Triel Baenre took Ameesril for questioning along with instructors and demand what had happened (and made clear that she may be executed for killing fellow priestess but they demanded answers first). Ameesril told everything truthfully and they questioned the corpse of the traitor and they found out the truth; she had broke in to forbidden storage years ago, stole scroll of planar binding and performed risky summoning to call in powerful demon and bid it to her will and go slaughter and mayhem much as it could without being discovered and as reward it could kill whomever it liked in whatever fashion it preferred.<br/><br/>With this event Ameesril rank was restored, items given to her but as her room was already occupied she was given new room....in graduated priestess quarters. She was called now as <em>Revered</em> Ameesril, with honorific only used by recognized renown priestesses. Her graduation ceremony is still a year away, but she through her skill and deeds is now recognized as fully part of priesthood already. She will undergo graduation like everyone else but besides that she is already given much benefits and perks as priestess and respect what comes with it. So even if her years lasted deception is broken, she is respected and no one among acolytes whom she fooled with dares oppose her as they heard the tale what had happened and are honestly scared of Ameesril....and respect her like full ranked priestess although Mistress Triel Baenre clarifies she is full priestess once she finishes her graduation. But even so even Mistress Triel Baenre asks her counsel and opinion regarding lore as that's Ameesril's strongest talents and one where she surpasses Matron Mistress Triel Baenre (although never voices it wisely). She even helps teach newest acolyte classes alongside with other mistresses and had started run classes on her own whenever she is told to hold one (albeit it's very rare but it's clear sign how mistresses of academy see her).<br/></div></div></div><br/><br/>So thus in ninth year Ameesril is highly respected student which is treated to be priestess already through her hard trials and work as acolyte. Only that she needs go through graduation and Matron Mistress Triel Baenre often reminds her she is <em>almost</em> priestess but it does not dismiss notion how well she is treated and respected; she had earned her mantle well enough to warrant the authority she carries and which she can enforce and quite well if needed. But with power, authority and respect also comes it's own dangers and responsibilities, as all mistresses answer to Matron Mistress and so she does answer to Triel Baenre and she is not mistress but a (almost) priestess (so thus answer still to mistresses, until graduation is over). She often stalks and moves around the temple in form of spider, much to awe and envy of other mistresses who playfully (or secretly maliciously) envy her talent to take form of spider as it provides many perks....like spook acolytes who think they are talking without being observed by mistress or senior student.<br/></div></div></div>
