Belmarniss can now sorta muddle along in the local common thanks to aggressive use of comprehend languages to hand-translate books after roping a local into teaching her the alphabet. Also she hates teleport traps with every fiber of her being. Also she has figured out at this point that she somehow leveled in sorcerer instead of wizard during the business with the pirates and has no idea why that happened or whether it will happen again. And she has sold this stupid arrowhead to two different curio shops and given up as it seems to be cursed. And she just needs to keep doing what she does, she guesses, till she can teleport herself home. The Yawning Portal is a nicely ironic name.

"It happen," Deekin says sagely. "Besides, Horrid Wilting eighth-level spell. That guy not messing around."

Nod. "Should we move, once we're done standing here to heal, in case he comes back with backup?"

"We should follow him down," Jojo suggests. "Vampires are drawn towards their coffins when they discorporate; if we can find his, we can destroy him for good."

Deekin finishes healing first, and goes to investigate the pile of clothing and possessions Sodalis left behind. "Ooh... some of this stuff be really nice. Deekin think this be modified Black Robe of Archmagi - Belmarniss know how to fool magic items, pretend to be evil?"

Deekin nods. "Deekin can help with song and spell too. Belmarniss want to try now?"

"Sure - lemme -" She removes things better put on over the robe after should it work.

And Deekin casts Greater Heroism on her and starts humming a tune she's probably heard him humming when he does some serious writing. The combined effect is a little heady, a feeling like she can do anything she puts her mind to.

The robe does not begin suppressing her magical energy, as it would if she had failed! It settles around her shoulders just like any other, non-evil robe, except for how it is definitely evil. And very powerful.
Deekin stops humming. "Ooh, black good color for Belmarniss."

"Thanks, I think so too." She puts on her other stuff. "Now to not take a bath till I have the time to try that twenty times in a row. Good thing I know Prestidigitation."

"When we get back to Lith My'athar, maybe we go to magic item crafter and have them change robe's alignment? Deekin think they able to do that." He sorts through the other items. "Deekin think this Ring of Wizardry be better than one Belmarniss have right now, here... Ring of Greater Acid Resistance, why priest need to resist acid? And... um."
He carefully lifts a tarnished silver coronet from the pile and looks at it from all angles. Finally, he casts Identify. "Deekin... thinking... this be Headband of Mental Superiority. Highest level."

"I'll take your old one if it's going spare," Garrus says. "Might look kind of silly given I don't have hair, but I'm willing to deal with that."

"I've got my Headband of Alluring Charisma, which is all I really need," Jojo says.

"And Deekin got Headband of Mental Prowess already, not really need wisdom so much. Here Belmarniss go."
He hands over the circlet.

"Ooooooh I like this." She hands over her old one to Garrus where it can look silly.

Garrus puts it on. The effect is kind of like someone put an Alice band on a lizard, which to be fair is approximately what happened.
"Any other loot on that guy?"

"Um, big bone staff... bonded item. Not usable except by high priest guy."
Deekin hands it over to Jojo.
