"For every 10 experience points sacrificed by the caster, the creature will remain for an extra day past the spells normal duration."

Normal duration is concentration + 1 round. With the feat, duration is concentration + 1 round + X days?

Edit: If not, a normal summon nature's ally 6 provides a huge elemental. That will also work (though not as awesome).

I suppose it depends on where you put the X in the algebra.  I will have to think about it.

That nonsense is why there is a creation ban.

But for our purposes, the salt is not usable in foodstuffs, it makes them taste terrible.
Still a market in Icefia for winter weather surface treatment.

I interview each candidate and get a feel for their motives, whether it be honorable, greedy, etc.  +15 Sense Motive.  I review everyone's answers and consult with the group on who would be best.

OOC:  Maybe you could send me a list of the top five choices and we'll pick from them.  Maybe narrow it down to level, class, faith, and how much it's going to cost to hire them.  I also would like to wait for the Order of the Sunlight Below representative to arrive.  Best to be fully prepared.

What is the total number you want from this process?

You will have Rathos and the member of the OotSB, how many others?  You will already have yourself, Artemus, Harrick, and Finn as well.

Do you set a price that you are paying, or do you negotiate individually with each one?

To give some general feeling on who you get; there are no wizards that can cast anything more than a magic missile that apply.

To keep it simple, I only want everyone's secondary characters to join and the OotSB NPC.  Other than that, I'm good.  If someone has any additional character ideas they want to play, and of course get approved by DM, then they can join too.

It'll depend on how many extra characters join.  A week's work in this town is what...3-5 GP?  It'll be more than that with hazard pay, but I'll have to figure out exactly how much.  I'll be sure to make it appealing for higher level characters to join. 

To DM: If you have any NPC's you really want to introduce, let me know and I'll base the wage on how powerful they are.

I'm not interested in 1st level wizards, so no loss there.  They wouldn't last the distance of the walk, let alone any combat in the Underdark.

That will be a total of nine, and if anyone won't have their character ready, we can fill in with NPCs.

A mission to the underdark for a week out of the town, you'd be looking at 50gc per level plus food and drink.  That would be a fair rate.

Okay, 50gc per level it is. 

If anyone capable of removing vampiric curses joins us, I'll sweeten the pot.  I'd rather recover Elizabeth than have to end her.

With our collective knowledge, what should we prepare for when facing vampires, umber bulks, and vampire umber hulks?

Plus Bonsai, Dug, and Dug's bulkier older cousin Peat.

Both vampires and umber hulks have gaze attacks, so anything that helps against those would be tops on your list.

Both mind-affecting?

Burrowing plus energy drain plus ability drain?

Finn will bring garlic for all.
