"How a spell matrix will help you kill the bat
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Enchant 280 points of Bless Thunderstone into a matrix.
With a major temple of Orlanth to work with, this could
take anywhere from 20 to 100 years, but is well worth
it. The matrix takes a full year to recharge, but you
can only cast the spell once a year anyway. (I assume
that you can not usually stack spells from several
matrixes, and that only one person at a time can work
on recharging a matrix.) You can now produce one
thunderstone per year, at the cost of one POW. This
stone will do 280d6 of damage once, reduced by armor
but without having to overcome the MP of the target.
I, having read Elder Secrets, know that one of these will kill the bat. The priest have not read ES, but will probably think it obvious that 2 will do the job. Let's make 4 just in case. Any leftovers will be useful against any new monster the empire enlists."
Of course, through spies and sympathizers, the Lunars find out an enlist their blue moon assassins to thwart the project.
Nils writes regarding Baroshi:
"Nice idea with the male earth warrior cult. I'm not quite sure the
runes are appropriate. Earth is, of course, probably as Dust. But
Law is a western rune, hardly known in Snake Pipe Hollow. Mastery
seems a bit strong for a new godling. However I don't really have
a good suggestion of what to have instead."
I agree now with Law, but Mastery still seems appropriate if you buy the fact that the godling was born solely to master Chaos, and that he DID master Termain Osboropo.
"Why Enchant Amber? The spell is OK,
but is amber that strongly associated to earth?"
Baroshi, in SPH, has a piece of crackling, glowing amber that HE uses as a weapon, and it drains Con and Strength...so this item is really official/Greg.
