    messed up the code for the second one, so let's redo that one.
    -knowledge(planes): (1d20+6)[8]

    EDIT: nope, nothing there.

    EDIT: figures. I hope you guys don't need much healing while I'm away, as that means I'm out for 6 rounds (I have to get back as well).

    Don't think so. Cordelia's found (I think) a compelling argument to the alternative, but without you being an animal companion trained to Come, we don't have any tools to combat it.

    Doesn't look good for us, tbh

    I don't think Come gets Kitten back in the fight though, just stops her leaving it entirely. I can try a Push Animal check to get her to Calm Down (repeat save at +4) once she's stopped fleeing, but to be honest at DC25 my odds aren't great.

    I think Calm Down is a skill trick I need to devote some time to teaching her. The standard "trained for Fighting" loadout of Attack Down and Stay, plus 2 bonus tricks of Come and Heel didn't write cut it.

    At next level up I'll improve her intelligence to 3, which unlocks a lot of options for Kitten to act intelligently and independently.

    Honestly, I can see clear arguments both ways. Both the magical effect and her training are designed to supersede the normal. The question is whether or not one or the other completely invalidates each other.

    *shrugs*.

    Regardless, with or without Kitten we're in a bad place.

    Withdraw to an even better choking point. Our initial strategy wasn't bad, it's just a few bad rolls that screwed everything up.

    You would probably do your own healing before I come back into the room, so then I don't need the potion I guess and I can keep that, right?

    So what first? Get the priests and demons out, or go after the brother? I'm fine either way, as long as we prepare in advance.

    We got unlucky with some fear, nausea and invisibility effects we hadn't prepared for. Plus now we have inside info so it could be *us* getting the jump, not the cult.

    I'm for taking them out. I don't think Rowyn wouldn't be suggesting we take them out *soon* if she doesn't think we're capable of the job.

    Or it's a thing of 'if they do it, perfect, if not, I have never seen them, have not heard of them and I'll try again.'

    I really feel I'm in a shadowrun now.

    This is my take as well. I asked in discord, but I'll reiterate here. Is there any reason Firi'Sar can't research the dretches, and perhaps their quasi-human allies? With ~4000g, we should absolutely be able to buy a few scrolls or potions and wreck these guys' whole day.

    Okay… so Priests of Demogorgon it is
    With some stuff to battle dretches, Priest and invisible demon… I’m thinking some glitterdust, a partial wand of remove fear and a cold iron weapon or two

    I can cast remove fear (1st lvl spell).

    Fri'Sar as arcanist should have see invisibility on his list (2nd lvl spell). Same for Glitterdust.

    Cold iron weapons cost 2 times what normal weapons cost, so we should be able to outfit everybody with a cold iron weapon of their choice. I actually already have one cold iron and one silver dagger, just for these situations.

    I would get a potion of remove fear for everybody and then one scroll per person to cast, or even 2 potions per person. The potions cost more, but are easier to use as everybody can drink one. With a 10 minute duration, 2 potions should be enough I would say.

    Glitterdust wil need to be a scroll. They cost 150gp per piece, so we can get two just in case. If we only use 1, we can keep the other one for later.

    Maybe we can also invest in a wand of cure light wounds. That's always useful to have around.

    I'm on board with basically all of these, though I will request an official DM response on potions of remove fear. My understanding is that by RAW you're unable to drink it if you need it, and would rely on someone else pinning you down to force feed it to you. I've always found that to be horribly unhelpful, if perhaps believable.
