in principle I think you should be able to guess the entire premise from the title

"Sounds all right to me. I might have people back home help me evaluate the wording."

Permalink

"Can I ask you what home is, or would that need to wait for the contract?"

Permalink

"Oddly enough we call it 'Hell' but it's really very nice. Everybody there is my species, so I can send them letters same way people can send me letters."

Permalink

" - Right. And all the impossible things you know how to build...?"

Permalink

"Advanced technology. The magic just creates them, they had to be invented the long way, but I can copy."

Permalink

"We wanted to know if Razmir's sold any Dominate Monster scrolls, or would do so. If it won't cause tremendous offense to ask."

Permalink

"To the best of my knowledge he has not done so this week. I non-confidently suspect he has ever done so. I expect he would not sell them to anyone he thought was Cheliax, because then Cheliax would have better odds of Dominating Cam and taking over the world."

Permalink

"How good is his discernment of who is and is not Cheliax?"

Permalink

"Fantastic question, but whatever the answer is I do not expect he is currently selling anyone Dominate Monster scrolls, just because he doesn't want anyone to be able to Dominate you and possibly take over the world, that's where his summer home is."

Permalink

"In this we have a common aim."

Permalink

"All right, then. Anything else we need to cover before I explain to Razmir that you're very interested in his pitch and we start working on the contract? Do you want to get a Zone of Truth on me to confirm I'm not lying about anything relevant?"

Permalink

"If Razmir were lying it'd probably be by sending a misinformed you, but sure."

Permalink

"Yeah, seems right," she agrees, and will attempt to obtain a local Axis-person who can cast Zone of Truth on this claim. (Assuming Cam is willing to pay?)

Permalink

Carissa will authorize payment if not being fucked with.

Permalink

Cam is prepared to not fuck with her about giving this random Axis person some Earth books.

Permalink

Then Telri can say under Zone of Truth "I made no statements intended to deceive and I know of no false statements I made", get that confirmed, trigger her amulet, and disappear!

Permalink

"A productive conversation." Wag wag.

Permalink

"I want so many impossible magic items."

Permalink

"Like what? I need to know what I should ask for for myself."

Permalink

Carissa like a normal person with infinite money wants a good headband and a good cloak of resistance and robes of the archmagi and an amulet of the planes and boots of teleport and immunity to poisoning (she suspects this would make it harder, perhaps impossible, for Cam to drug her, since she can't otherwise stop him).

Permalink

Cam wants... a lot of things that normally come in ring form, apparently, hopefully Razmir will be able to combine or reslot things since APPARENTLY growing more arms won't even help. Spell Turning and Delayed Doom seem the most urgent. Cloak of Resistance. He'll be very swooshy. He can't wait to hear from Razmir or the Iomedans, whichever come first.

Permalink

The Iomedans request a bunch of....Hell-internal contract law, when they next write, and that this request not be disclosed to anyone to the extent that's possible.

Permalink

Okay... and how is he supposed to deliver it, pay a random Axis-dweller in potato chips?

Permalink

If that's the best option he's got? It sounds extremely hard for them to actually use, maybe Carissa will approve books if they're not against her interests? (This isn't. This is a desperate search for Hell-related solutions Carissa will fund because they're acceptable to her.)

Permalink

"Carissa, can I make books to pay Axis people with, no fuckery - I don't know if people in Axis even want books or if they can just go to the library whenever, but in case -"
