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.
Do we actually need phase door?
What if instead we used hallow with death ward? Sure, it's a lot of fourth-circle spells, but we've got Zenderholm, Reebs, and can probably contact the Pharasmans upstairs.
And hire clerics through the Bag if we have to!
Two problems with hallow. First, the area of effect isn't that large by the standards of shelters -
More time - or more daylight.
In Westcrown we had streetlamps, and if you were out at night it was somewhat safer to stick near them.
But what we need is a second sun.
Or something else the size of a guinea and roughly as shiny.
I guess you could go there? Or, if you had an infinite supply of continual flame spells...?
Continual flame has an expensive material component and it says in the setting doc that spell-like abilities typically still need those.
In Westcrown the shadow beasts never burgle homes.
We're not dealing with Wescrani shadows, and if we were there'd be a simpler solution!
I wouldn't count on it still being the case that Wescrani shadows stay out of doors.
Kroft is going to make a note to ask what changed about Wescrani shadows - and about shadows in general.
Varisian shadows were never polite enough to stay out in the street, but somehow neither did they ever tear through her nation. That must have something to do with Rovagug's intervention, but - she has so many confusions there.
She doesn't want to interrupt the conversation about the sunlight, though - she wants to A) know if creating a second sun is within the purview of miracle, and B) know if that would actually suppress all shadow activity.
We could hire someone - if we can source a diamond for it.
Wish-grade diamonds aren't pebbles that you find in the garden, and it wouldn't surprise Kroft in the slightest if no one in possession of one is willing to part with it today for any price that Korvosa can pay.
Miracle takes 25,000 gp in diamond dust, which might be easier to source piecemeal.
It says in the setting doc that miracles take whole diamonds, like wishes, so the diamonds themselves are major strategic resources more than just the face-value of the gem.
