He should have fallen on his sword. That would have been the sensible thing to do.
Punched his ticket for Elysium right away, no waiting around.
He thought they'd only kill him.
Why did he think that? How stupid was he? Why in the world did he think that?
And now instead of his next great adventure he's flubbed a save against dominate person.
The Queen of Korvosa is a teenage runaway who got hitched to a "royal" hayseed in a nowhere backwater and has never in her life had any particular control over her own finances. Everything she owns is something she brought with her from Westcrown or was able to convince Eodred to purchase.
He was easiest to talk into buying dresses.
In a less unremittingly bleak universe her rapier would be +5 icy burst dancing, and made of adamantine, and she'd be able to magically disguise it as a fan like the one she's carrying in her icon to the left, but that's just not the world we live in.
Gentle Queen, I do have the feat Craft Arms and Armor, if in the future you find the wherewithal to commission one.
But are you sure you wouldn't rather have a +1 keen dueling dancing etcetera adamantine rapier - oh, or ghost touch could be good, given the givens -, and make up the Enhancement with greater magic weapon? I can cast that spell too.
Ileosa wants a weapon out of legend, not a weapon that she has to explain to people!
It needs to be at least +4, and icy burst is non-negotiable.
Eh, just in case things go sideways when I talk to the unregistered shadows.
But if you don't have one, it's no big sweat.
My plan is... oh, I actually have one!
We could entomb the shadows with stone shape.
We might have to, but I hate that we're leaning on that spell so heavily.
We've shaped so much stone already - how many castings of the spell do we have left?
Ugh.
Ileosa is the one who suggested it, so Toff will have volunteer to cast the spells - lest spectators forget that he's the one with the all-powerful magic that solves their problems.
And what, leave the shadows like that forever?!
Lyvina, can you put me on a message relay with the Queen and Field Marshall?
Tell them that I want to ask the shadows who their binders are, and then I could go talk to the binders, assuage the binder's fears, and negotiate something.
If the binders had any WIS we wouldn't be in this situation to begin with. I mean, I publicly said that I'd hang anyone who did the thing the exact thing that these idiots went and did, and it's not like they have public sentiment on their side either, so what happens when you spook them or they decide that they have nothing to lose and get themselves killed or try to kill someone and then we have shadows, shadows everywhere?
This is my fault.
For telling Authority my plans, and giving It a veto. What was I thinking?
