The Elixir of Divine Release Ritual #It'sNotAboutSex - August 2, 2024

 - Complimentary dino


- Tiff says she's going to bed. And she does.

- Osiris goes to let Rowan and the rest of the temple know that the ghosty spirit guy is dead. 

- Osiris then also goes to bed.

- Russell Santiago also headed off to bed along with everyone else.

- When Raiàn, Rusty, and Lyrielle get back to the boarding house, Jinora asks what was happening since she is still awake.

- Jinora tells Lyrielle and co that Agonir must have sent the spirit to take out the people he thinks might be a threat he sends undead to take them out. He likes to make sure that when he swoops in at the end there's no resistance.

- The next morning, Tiff is braiding laurel leaves with Tina when Osiris shows up with the staff in the apothecary to help with the preparations for the elixir. 

- Tiff gets the apothecary staff and Russell started on perfume creation and then helps Tina finish making all the laurel crowns. 

- Once the laurel is finished being braided, Tiff has Rusty set the cast iron halfling-sized bathtub in the center of the sanctuary near the alter and set that up. She gets Tina to draw a warding circle in chalk around it while Tiff then goes and helps with the perfume.

- Osiris goes to trade the expensive opal she has for a gem encrusted bowl. 

- Lyrielle gets on the earring network and tells everyone what Jinora said last night.

- Once Osiris has her bowl, she and Rusty go to the Hall of Justice to check in with the city guard via Captain Swinson.

- The front desk is empty when they arrive, so they head straight to Captain Swinson's office. The little barracks for guards to have their rest has dead bodies. It seems like the current guard shift and their CO are DEAD. Like dismembered dead. 

- It looks like the ghosty spirit creature wasn't only attacking the Temple of Mishakal.

- Osiris Sends to Amelia, an acolyte in the Rites Wing, to come get the dead guards.

- Osiris then Sends to Captain Swinson asking her to meet at the Hall of Justice like now.

- A few minutes later the captain shows up, but Amelia shows up first and she doesn't like the messy ones.

- Captain Swinson knows about the attack, and they have abandonned the headquarters building and decentralized control. The council made the decision to abandon the building, and told no one to go back inside.

- Osiris and Amelia gather the dead, while Rusty finishes talking to Captain Swinson.

- They get back in the late afternoon and explain the plan again to Russell.

- Osiris casts Temple of the Gods around the area where Theophania will lead the group in the ritual to create the Elixir of Divine Release.

- They do the ritual successfully! (Because of course they do. Tiff is nothing but prepared.)

- They divide the ten gallons into ten water skeins and tuck those into the bag of holding, and Tiff goes to make more needles to introduce it to the necrotic tendrils.

- Okay, so the plan is that they will teleport to the Dwarven city adjacent to Agonir's lair (which they do), then have a Hero's Feast with the bowl Osiris acquired (which they do in an inn with some intact tables), then they will sleep in a Hut (which they do).

- While everyone except Osiris is hunting around in the tavern (since it takes ten minutes to cast the Hero's Feast spell) they find two whole bottles of ancient dwarven whiskey in the bar!!!!

- After they've rested they will inject the tendrils with the Elixir, and then they expect the dragon will come find them from there.

 - They do a check over of the tavern and then Osiris casts the Hut in the public room.
