I really don't want to fight an invisible dragon if I can help it.

I mean, how do you prepare if you can't see what colour it is?

So maybe we pick a nice cozy place in the basement?  Anyone have preference?

I'm thinking either Royal Chambers or Royal Guard Barracks

So bunker down with Tymio or bunker down with her guards?  That's a tough call too. Maybe if we choose Royal Chambers we'll have another chance to figure out what's going on with the Queen.

Since nobody else has chimed in, I choose the Royal Chambers.  Seems like it would be nicely defensible.

What's our goal here?  Genesis has a 1 week casting time, so it's not like we only have to hold out for 10 rounds or even 20.  That's potentially hundreds of encounters.

As discussed in the PM, you'll only have to endure continuous assaults in the last minute(s). Tymio's defenses should keep you safe for the first days and slow down enemy waves when they start breaching until the last stretch, so you'll get some time to rest between battles, with said reprieve times growing shorter and shorter as the castle's barriers weaken.

While it is a continuous week of casting, it's still only 8 hours per day. Though more frequent assaults at the end of the week are still a concern, maybe we can randomize the time period during the day that Vist is casting during to keep them from guessing what's going on and focusing their attacks during the casting time?

Hmm, since this will be the end, how would you feel if at half of the Genesis casting time all the characters would get a last "blessing" from the gods to pump everybody to 20th level?

Or would updating your character sheets grind the game even more to a halt? :p

Are you just looking for an excuse to make the encounters more difficult? :P

I'd say it's probably better not to involve 9th level spells in this.  Ain't nobody got time to resolve that.

So, I guess lets just set up in the royal bedroom.  Seems like a place that might have some wards inherent in the architecture and it seems pretty defensible.

I'll make the executive decision since noone's contributed in the past month about where.

I did suggest that I agreed with choosing the Royal Chambers...

In any case, that's got my vote, so seconded.

So, should we put ourselves on the page?

Do you want us to run down all of the daily buffs again?

Dyson's only long-term buff is Share Pain, and his stance (which will be Leading the Charge).

We have time to buff and yet... no buffs. We're off to a great start.

We've only got one spellcaster, really. I think we're used to high level games with ridiculous spellcasting and buffing routines so this party composition is quite a change of pace.
