If they do revive her they’ll either have her over a barrel OR she’ll immediately try and kill them at least. Speak with dead first probably.

I don't really understand how they think they will get away with not bringing her back from the dead. They should have done that immediately after speaking with her corpse.

I thought that would just be another goofy set up episode to get them on the adventure, but nope! They probably have to use Raise Dead to get across that mile wide river of fire because I don't think Caleb can do it all.

Caleb and Jester can both polymorph. I'm sure they can find some combination of flying creatures that can get them all a mile as the roc flies. As far as what they do with Vess they are basically at the mercy of how convenient the rest of the assembly finds her death. They could make up a story about her messing with some nasty pre-calamity magic tech and getting vaporized or falling in a pitched battle with the tomb takers, but it all depends on how much the rest of the assembly wants to push it, and if they bust out truth magic. I can totally see them not buying the nein's story one bit but going along with it anyway because it gets rid of an enemy of theirs. This could also be a "favor" that lets Trent get his hooks further into Caleb.

Yeah, I feel like this could easily end up with Caleb getting the archmage of antiquity spot, and it'd be interesting to see where things go from there and what he and the Nein would do with the extra resources that being an assembly member would provide.

They're not really under any obligation to bring her back; they didn't kill her and there's not really an easy way (though I could be wrong) for someone else to call up her soul to ask her what happened. Plus after talking to her they learned 1) she wasn't very upfront about the crap Molly was up to, 2) she's neck deep in this weird 9 eyes stuff, 3) she hosed over the last group working with her. If I were them I wouldn't be chomping at the bit to bring her back either.

I feel like they had a pretty good path through all this by saying "yeah, we were hired to guard her on the trip to the site, not in the cerberus assembly base, surrounded by dozens of cerberus assembly guards" I mean, they absolutely should have taken bodyguard duties much more seriously, but there was a real path to shifting the blame to the local security before they decided to lie to everyone.

Neither cleric had Resurrection prepared. I guess they could have waited out the day, but there's a much better conversation to have if it's even a smart idea now.

Gangringo posted:I feel like they had a pretty good path through all this by saying "yeah, we were hired to guard her on the trip to the site, not in the cerberus assembly base, surrounded by dozens of cerberus assembly guards" I don't think the issue was being blamed for the death, I think the issue was that they're sitting in the middle of a Cerebus Assembly town and the only person who could vouch for them (as well as the person footing the bills) is now a corpse. Also from a slightly more metagame perspective, if they want to chase after Molly they don't want to spend time getting tangled up with anyone over Vess' death. Honestly, for now this is kind of the best thing for them. Whatever they do/find up here is no longer getting reported to the Cerebus Assembly/Empire, so they can make their own decision as far as who to get involved with it.

So just to get things clear - is their guide in a wheelchair? I wasn't really paying attention at the beginning of the episode and didn't really pay attention till toward the end when he was getting the description for how pimped his ride was. I do kind of have to laugh. Nobody at all thought to go check on DeRogna immediately after the Scry? That was my first thought when Lucien started narrating his escape out the window talking about how she led him to them. She even told it to the others and they all basically did the "This is fine" dog meme.

Yeah, hes in a wheelchair. He hinted at it being somewhat enchanted to deal with rough terrain and whatnot so i guess we'll see the extent next week I didnt put your spoiler together straight away, just at the start of the next day

I imagine Lucien leaping from the window, and leaving intentionally easy to follow footprints into a trap set by the Tomb Takers, and hiding, giggling to himself, sure that they are hot on his heels. Three hours of waiting in the cold later they just give up and feel kind of disappointed.

Archmage of Antiquities is the Defense Against the Dark Arts position. The last person to hold it before Vess was Delilah Briarwood.

I also get the vibe that if you're in the Assembly as a full top-tier member, no matter how you die nobody's going to want to bring you back. If you died it's your own stupid fault, bring in the new blood for us to conspire and scheme with. Vess being dead is a problem in the settlement they're about to leave, and they lose their big fat payday if they don't bring her back, but I don't think it'll ruffle any feathers with the Assembly in general. Still, bringing her back at some point in the mansion/tower so they can put her in a Zone of Truth/have Beau punch her/cast dominate person on her and get the full lowdown on what's actually going down isn't a bad idea at all. Make sure she has no arcane casting stuff on her and bring her back with 1 hp, tie her down to a chair, and have two people that can cast counterspell in the room, and that should give her basically no chance of getting away, and then they can decide if they want to kill her again or work with her. If they're morally okay with killing her if they think they have to, then the full lowdown on what the hell Vess, Molly, and what's up with the Nine Eyes is one expensive diamond and set of smart preparations away.

I guess with homebrew rez rules, Matt could always stop this by saying she doesn't want to come back, but with someone like that, no matter what the circumstances, she'd think that she could get the upper hand and come out ahead and it'd be worth trying. Also, I think the Assembly would care even less when they learn that she's a loving cultist to whatever the hell is going on here, since the cult's goals are almost certainly incompatible with the Assembly remaining in power as top dogs on the continent.
