King Tut I'd like to eat the lotus to see what happens.

I'll head up to the top with Schmektor, Brogg, and anyone else who's heading up.

What do we know about Vrill? If we're fighting him, I don't see why we wouldn't just get killed like we did versus Abbey.

Also, if anyone has any creative suggestions for the use of Alchemy, Engineering, Weapon/Armorsmithing, etc., please let me know. I'm normally somewhat creative but I can't think of anything interesting/useful to make at the moment. I was thinking of making some kind of potions to help us, or maybe improve our weapons/armor. I'm not sure if I can make anything useful for casters, I was thinking maybe some kind of "learning assistance device" that would maybe let them memorize 1 extra spell of any rank? But I'm not sure that I could even do that. Any ideas?

.....

I'd also like to write a small book about my experiences raising the Lotus. Maybe if we find another one, we can avoid killing it. Also, I'd like to re-search the garden area and the mind flayer's chambers, specifically looking for alchemical compounds. There must be some very strange (poisonous, hardy) plants here, and I bet the mind flayer had some private experiments/pet projects. Scrounge yeilds a BR 21 (success) and IQ check of 9 is a success.  ¶ 1:24 PM
