I'm actually not sure I can shut down magic items the way I can spells. But stripping her should work - sounds like a job for Raoul.
That said, killing the mirror image first is probably a good idea in any case to save us the hassle of finding the real one first.

Please kill the mirror images if you can.

So, am I technically able to use an Immediate Action while stunned? I'd assume no since 'action' is right there in the name of the thing, and actions are what I am barred from taking.

Not that I necessarily want to follow her. Who knows where she went or what awaits on the other side?

I think no. It's an action.

Edit: However, is Cade actually still stunned? He was only stunned for 1 round, which started during her turn, and so I think would end at her next turn. Right? Her initiative was higher than Orghest's. So her turn had already passed when the Contingency fired.

Well, it was for a round. Does a surprise round count? I guess I don't see why not. Still a round, right?

I am dead.

EDIT: Wait wait wait, I just remembered. I'm an Evil Outsider. If outside my natural plane of existence, I don't die, I get banished.  :P

From the Chain Lightning? You've got a decent shot at making the Will saves to negate them entirely, right?

Also, Cade could in theory follow her, sure. I don't know how wise that'd be under the circumstances, but it's certainly possible. Worst comes to worst, he could presumably just jump right back on his turn?

I'm wondering if it might be a better idea to port somewhere safer instead so Cade can sleep. Somewhere safer like, I don't know, Hades? That should be pretty safe, by virtue of it being such a shitty place nobody in their right mind would want to go there.
Please send private messages regarding board matters to Forum Staff instead.

Well, if Raoul is actually dead and not mostly dead, I can just swing around and pick him up. Maybe.

But I'll still find somewhere to port everyone.

Since you all just saw the woman (ab)use this, and at least a couple of you have massive Lucid Dreaming checks, I think this would certainly occur to one of you: Cade could Planeshift Raoul to the Dreamheart and Revivify/True Res him. There is of course a risk of encountering danger in the Dreamheart (as if you're killed there, you're really dead).

That seems like the fastest way to get everyone back on their feet, certainly. It does mean we'll have to put pursuing the woman on hiatus for now, but we stole her gun and put some hurt on her, so it's not a complete loss.

I don't remember if I had spelled this out in my rules for Lucid Dreaming, but the intent is that the effects only last for 1 round if outside of an actual Dreamscape (even if you have an effect like Planar Bubble). However, information gained and instantaneous effects would of course not be negated/lost. If this isn't in there, I'll add it later and I apologize.

Well, it certainly means things will get very interesting if I ever survive to 17th level...

Quite possibly. There are quite a few instantaneous-duration or 1-round duration spells that could be useful for utility purposes, which would certainly help make my character's contributions feel more useful than just being the group's taxi cab. :)

In all seriousness, I still love the Warper, and it's definitely going to come into its own soon. I may just need to think more creatively in the mean time.

Sorry. Couldn't resist. It was either that, or Mary Poppins, and she'd already been featured in this film...

Going to update tomorrow. I had kind of been waiting on someone to say they were making a lucid dreaming check or whatever. :P

To be honest I'm not entirely sure what I need to do. Just one lucid dreaming check? What's the DC? I'm sure the information is listed somewhere...
