Hey guys, I've got it!
Urgathoa likes it when you turn to Evil, and Sarenrae likes it when you're redeemed and turn to Good.
So if we flip back and forth really fast we can get infinite virtue points and ask for infinite miracles!
Sarenrae doesn't count is as Good unless you mean it in your heart. Now, Iomedae...
No, seriously. The cheap archons are balls of light. The cheap angels are helmets. The cheap azatas are mostly butterfly wing. The cheap agathions are cats, which have some actual flesh. Plus they belong to Nirvana and Nirvana is a bunch of softies who could probably send us volunteers or something.
The fact that all of you are talking like this is why we deserved to fall to shadows in the first place.

How powerful is it when Sarenrae smites a city?
If we provoke her wrath, but we're all hiding inside a vault underground, maybe the divine Smite will kill all the shadows but not manage to reach us
It was one time! Why does no one think of all the other miracles Sarenrae did for us. Like creating the sun, without it we’d have no safety from the shadows at all.

I would definitely not want to be eaten by Sarenrae, I bet she cooks you first.

I don't want to be eaten by shadows or zombie Ornher Reebs.
That's pure genius!
Undead are immune to negative energy based attacks, so we can't be turned into Shadows if we just pick a better undead and turn ourselves into that first.
What's the coolest kind of undead? Vampires, right? Fetch one vampire by teleport and we'll all be immortal by morning.

Look, this whole mess only happened because we were all crammed into this city like sardines, and if you had any sense you'd be getting us all out of here and into the countryside, not working on some fool task like fortifying the vault. If one shadow gets in here, we're all dead, but if we're spread out on the surface they can't get all of us!

This is a good plan, but can be improved with a Helm of Opposite Alignment. Say hello to Korvosa the CG vampire den!

Golds get miracle as a SPA, too. No need for diamonds.
If that was true a gold dragon would have already miraculously teleported everyone into it's mouth, and all the worlds money into it's vault.
Age of Lost Omens
They're lawful, though. I bet there's a law that says you can't use miracles to eat people unless you're Urgathoa.

That's a good segue into, uh, the next item on our docket! Setting aside the... relative palatability of archons and azatas, there are 200,000 Korvosans up there and we need some way to protect them.

Golds don't typically eat people but we can fix that with a Helm of Opposite Alignment too!
Also it says in the setting doc that Spell-Like Abilities typically still require their expensive material components.

No, gold dragons are Lawful Good, they wouldn't do that.

Caydenite, what's your real level? Are you willing to turn to Urgathoa if that's what it takes to save us?
If there’s that many of them, maybe we can each only do a daily half-hour of prayer and it’ll still be enough.
Age of Lost Omens
We should just tell them to kill themselves first. Since they're committing suicide to prevent a shadow apocalypse, it's a good deed and they'll all make heaven anyway.

I've never gotten the chance to forsake the Goodly Gods in pursuit of the greater good, so sure, I'd do that if it'd help. I don't think it would, though.
