The wordwall was edited and Bear says he has to get work done so I can't re-edit it for the third time. It's still not perfect.

[Ashley] I'm still not sure what I even agreed to but I just want to play the game.

I read it 3 times and still don't get it...
So wait, you can't be revived by Yulya anymore? That's not good!
So you'll leave the game if you die, or how is this going to work? Or do you auto-revive like me?
I guess I could repair you with my Artificial Trees but that will take until LV.10 and even then probably take an in-game week / irl year. Trees aren't known for speed and this isn't magic. My own insta-repair spell Hand of Ultimate Mercy takes until LV.17 aka never.

And even worse, if you die in panther form you'll stay a panther forever?
Btw that mecha panther summon is straight outta Auschwitz! Look how starved it is! It must be nourished with our enemies' flesh and blood!



Also I must complain I am very disappointed Elizabeth still isn't reacting to me. Worst NPC award goes to her! What shall I do this turn if everyone ignores me?

It's not intentionally confusing yet it is confusing and I'll admit that.

Upon death, she will self-revive and anything that is missing or dysfunctional will be replaced by machine.

If Cat was incinerated to ash, there is no spell other than reincarnation that can bring her back.

Ashley will have a reboot of a sort even if all of her living tissue is disintegrated, her new form will be machine and mostly controlled by the mechatherial angel. She will still have some control and say, but it will be different. If cat was disintegrated, her old body is fertilizer.

She is immune to those three spells because she has an auto-revive function now. The part of her body that initiated or finalized the death will likely be replaced by a machine version.

Your auto-revive will return you to the pre-death state intact, Ashley will lose something to her inevitable transformation to machine the process.

Technically the panther is already  part machine so it would have a similar mechanism. If the panther was disintegrated, it would be a fully machine beaat and perhapse wouldn't transform back, but that's in flux.

Elizabeth is an Elf, they're not very reactive to the shenanigans of childsplay.

>"Are we going to eat or what?"
Yulyas still feeling sick and Alice is poisoned. so i guess no.

when Yulya has recovered what can she do to help Alice?
lesser restoration and protection from poison are lv2 spells she cant do yet before a long rest. do we have to pay that wizard another 50gp to cure Alice or should we wait an hour until she recovers?

I believe her conditions expire, I thought I put that in the post.

Long rest will solve it in any case.

Quote
-Alice has the Poisoned debuff and will have disadvantage to attack rolls and ability checks for approximately an hour.
-Alice is hallucinating and will see what she expects to see around her for about 10 minutes.
-Alice is intoxicated, her speed is halved and has disadvantage on saving throws for about 1 hour.
-Yulya has the Sickened debuff and will have nausea for the next 10 minutes, she can speak but can take light actions during that time, but can't cast or attack and her speed is reduced to 5ft. She will have far less effects next time she experiences this gas.
-Through some miracle, likely SheShe's doing, Alice has leveled up [Changes as discussed] and those effects will appear after a long rest.

Alice should be recovering soon, Yulya is already feeling well enough to eat (10 minutes)

Alice doesn't necessarily have to eat she had the equivalent of half a ration of calories by consuming that poison.

Alice will not be happy if she gets ignored not healed and no dinner

At least Yulya cares about me!!
For the sake of gameplay let's assume I am mostly back to normal when we go for dinner next scene

Freya listens while thinking but she can't place any gods that match these descriptions, there are countless demigods, fallen angels, demons and other entities so there's no way of knowing. "Thank you Cat, let's just hope she can fight these inner demons before they consume her. Or perhaps they're among the denizens of Mechanus who came to witness her last level transition."
It's not that simple and the world isn't all black and white.
The Winged Creature is indeed an archdemon of what you call the Negative Plane, just like that Orcas guy. Luckily those demons and their gods are mostly busy fighting each other and the Winged Creature hates destructive barbarians like Orcas far more than us here in the material plane. You could say the enemy of my enemy is my friend. But that's all I'm gonna say, if you wanna know more about the Winged Creature, its feud with demons like Orcas and the Living Metal technology we stole from the followers of the Golden Man, you gotta ask me with a pretty please and sit and listen.

So now let's discuss what we will do tomorrow!
I need to go to a tailor and waste more money have my wofl ears and tail sewn to my cloak. That is of utmost importance!
I'm also not sure how much food from the refugees we should sell and how much we should eat ourselves. The berry wine we could sell perhaps. But we should probably invest in proper bottling.
I'm not gonna interfere with the cart again, you figure that out.

Finally I should look for a way to scam at least some of the money I wasted back. But my cleaning service isn't as awesome as I thought in this magic-infested demon world. Can't Yulya heal people for 50gp? We should set up a booth or something.

I'll read any relevant lore you have so I can twist it into something you'll hate, of course! But you need to read my posts too.

Based on what I wrote, you could eat and won't be hallucinating by the time you eat dinner.

As I said, Neverwinter won't allow freelance cleric services. 50 gold isn't easy to come by which is why you risk your life on fighting dragons to barely scape by.

To prepare the wolf parts, you will need a taxidermist, to attach them you need a tailor.

If you want to bargain shop, that would require you to find credible sources online or do the analysis, otherwise I will but likely it won't be cheap. The wofl ears and tail will rot without proper preparation, they will fall off without crafting skill.

Aw 'cmon!
My ear collection is the very reason I started playing d&d as far as I remember! Now you let them rot away?
Our mystery meat scraped off a noble's bones never spoils but wolf ears do?
I am willing to got to a Furrier who is both a taxidermist and and a tailor as his profession is turning pelts to clothes. I will write a PhD thesis on the correct treatment on Wolf ears but I first I need to conduct a few experiments.



picture unrelated. I just found it while searching for wolf ears

Also I said I was going to eat dinner. As soon as Cat replies, that is...
