Lightwells

I, working with Seth, have recently reached out to House Laurent-Belmont regarding the threat the Val'Itaxal Vai poses to us and methods to fight it. Given reports of the symbiote separating from its host, we have been offered a potential method of containing the symbiote using a device called a Lightwell to keep the symbiote away from Enzarond, or just contain the True Warlock in general. Lightwells "use positive energy to enhance any form of light to create a harmful barrier that the shadows can't pass" (to quote Dreagan Belmont directly). This is barrier is more effective than a normal barrier and requires no concentration to maintain.

We need Star Globes to create these. Lots of them. The more the better.

I would like to work with whoever wants to (after we fight the Maw) on these.

((OOG note: The Star Globes for these can be Innovated.))

I cannot create Starglobes but should the time arise that you need more light than you we can make, I can create some through druidics.

Perhaps the priestly prayer of Revelation can aid in the process. The effects are exactly the same. Infusing divine power, especially of any Light aligned priests, may help in the matter.

Reyna, I say this in all sincerity.

Would muzzle flashes work? Load a heavy-bore arquebus like my rifle or shotgun with a blank charge, just powder, no shot...you'll have a hell of a light show on your hands.

As soon as I arrive in the Proper, I will give you all my supplies that can be used to make them.
I would encourage others who are unable to make them to do this to to assist the crafters who can make them. Since they use rare components, making them in the amount I'd assume we would need would be quite costly for only a few Travancians to bear.

Master Reyna,

Through yours and Master Lorelai's tutelage I have learned how to focus positive energies and I would be honored to use the light you've showed me to aide in anyway.

I also hold in my possession a scale of a dragon, fashioned into a shield. I'm sure if myself and my fellow dragoons channel our spirits through it we can put on quite a spectacle of a light show.

On my honor,

I am in agreement with Jericho on this. Is starlight the main element of these Lightwells or are the Starglobes themselves what is required?

“We need Star Globes to create these. Lots of them. The more the better.”


Darius,

Not to speak for Reyna, but her words clearly state that Star globes are needed.

I think everyone so far has been trying to circumvent needing these. It seems to be the case that we definitely do.

I was simply offering aid with the skillset I have. I was not trying to say to use other sources.

I read "use positive energy to enhance any form of light to create a harmful barrier" and thought of ways i could assist.

My apologies.

Dr. Selby,
Yes most certainly, starglobes are needed. But we must always look to see if more of our people can contribute for the good of Travance. Suggestions never hurt and the more people involved, the better.

As a suggestion Star globes can be used with volatile flux to create an armament that you can invoke star globes. If you have a lot a people you can invoke a lot of star globes.

I specifically responded to the question about whether we actually needed Star globes.

I’m absolutely not suggesting that we shouldn’t try other things too. It came across like people were trying to get around that need and maybe that is just my mistake. I apologize if I made it seem like others couldn’t be useful. That was not my intention.

Let’s support our scholars in their opportunity to make a difference in this fight. We can all participate in supporting them the way that they always support us.

Serious question;

Is putting a raisin in water and waiting for it to be a grape necromancy?
As well, if we were to eat the Necro-Grape, stand on the roof, and scream the word "Habadashory", would that just kill it?

Sorry, he's been manic lately... ignore him...

But it was a serious question!

I have some materials I could contribute to the cause. Furthermore, if any of those who can create globes are in need of some extra energy, I am able and willing to provide it.

Yours in Health,

Selby is correct that we need Star Globes as the physical component in creating the Lightwells.

That said, experimenting with light sources is a good idea. I would definitely like assistance from my fellow witch hunters, and, of course, anyone who has the ability to channel some form of light.

I cannot make these star globes but I can probably assist with positive energy as well. I will be in attendance this moon.

Unless I am desperately needed elsewhere, I will be there to assist whoever is crafting the Star Globes since I cannot craft them myself. I'll help experiment in other ways if I can as well. We must win this fight.

I'll do what I can to make as many Star Globes as possible between now and when we must build the Lightwell. And I'll accept any and all offers of help. One's hands do get terribly cramped after a while, and, well, Selby was right that they require expensive components.

Of course, if any expertise in starlight is needed, I am also quite knowledgeable and happy to lend my help. If you come and chat with me while I'm carving astrological sigils, at least.

The only wells I specialize in are the ones I put in biscuits so I can add the chocolate in 'em. Perhaps I could assist in these, though. Could someone tell me how they work? I'll bring my toolkit along.

Selby,

I believe it time we use the remaining resources left in our agreement to solely focus on this effort.

All,

If Dr. Selby is able and approves. Please allow my contract of materials and resources to be of assistance in the creation of this lightwell.

Aiki,

At your request, I would be more than happy to oblige.
I will get those components to Reyna before the Maw fight.

Selby,

I thank you greatly! It is as if our arrangement was fated for this task. Now we only need someone to commit themselves to the making of these starglobes en masse. Who am I offering a share of my horde to?

Aiki, I've volunteered to make as many as I can.

How many do you think you can make and how long do you believe it will take, Talaniel? We will need as many as we can get.

Talaniel,

Selby will provide the resources you need for this. There should be a couple thousands worth in materials for you to utilize from our arrangement.

Seth,

I believe we may be well in hand in regards to this.

All,

If there is anything else needed please let me know. I am going to see to training and coordinating our forces, towns members permitting.

I will make as many as possible, as well.

If anyone who contributed some of the further ideas mentioned above wants to sit with me while I make these star globes and we built a Lightwell around them, I would be glad of it.

Without a pre-collected stack of components and an assistant, I believe I can personally make about four Lightwells every.... hour or so, about. With a stack of materials present and an assistant, most scholars will be able to make a minimum of 8 star globes an hour, but this does not include the time necessary to create the Lightwells themselves. It does, however, mean that we scholars can begin work on the star globes and anyone else who has time can work on the Lightwells without needing to be present with the scholar, thus spreading around the work so it goes faster.

Last moon someone donated a bunch of silver and mythril for the benefit of the church. If these resources can be used to create the star globes then I would be most happy to contribute these resources.

Ephrem,

The silver would be useful for making star globes.

So will this trap it while it's alive?

I may not be able to create the starglobes or lightwells needed for this trap, but I may be able to help reinforce them. I have several times been able to lend my draconic starlight energy to various druidic rituals in order to help strengthen them. Once the lightwells are deployed, would it be possible for myself and the other emeralds to add our energies to the trap and thereby make it more powerful?
