Contact Other Plane by Alix Branwyn

I do want to point out:

Ludinus knowing Laerryn's name is not, in and of itself, proof that he was alive during the Age of Arcanum.

Laerryn was on his list of "people to reach out to." But this document was in his home in Molaesmyr, a city he arrived in 500 years post-Divergence. Why would he keep that document, knowing that Laerryn fell with Avalir and that her body was irrecoverable? Why would it be pinned on his wall like it's important, over 500 years after Laerryn's death when speak with dead is off the table?

We know that Avalir itself is known about in present-day Exandria by esoteric scholars and specialists. Imahara Joe has a book that talked about it, so it's not like it's completely forgotten, and honestly, the entirety of the Ring of Brass were so involved with Avalir's internal politics and inner workings that there's no way their names weren't written down a hundred times over in various records, reports, and news clippings. It's not out of the realm of possibility that Ludinus was able to get ahold of this information, especially with Laerryn being so prominently involved with Avalir's most intricate arcane mechanics and experiments.

So I think that this list was of people Ludinus wanted to contact using the contact other plane spell. It reads as follows:

You mentally contact a demigod, the spirit of a long-dead sage, or some other mysterious entity from another plane. Contacting this extraplanar intelligence can strain or even break your mind. When you cast this spell, make a DC 15 Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, you take 6d6 psychic damage and are insane until you finish a long rest. While insane, you can’t take actions, can’t understand what other creatures say, can’t read, and speak only in gibberish. A greater restoration spell cast on you ends this effect. On a successful save, you can ask the entity up to five questions. You must ask your questions before the spell ends. The DM answers each question with one word, such as "yes," "no," "maybe," "never," "irrelevant," or "unclear" (if the entity doesn’t know the answer to the question). If a one-word answer would be misleading, the DM might instead offer a short phrase as an answer.

Personally, I think that Laerryn would most definitely count as "the spirit of a long-dead sage," as would most other pre-Calamity archmages (which I can only assume Vishtaron and Vatora were). The spell is on the wizard and warlock spell lists, so it's entirely within the realm of possibility for Ludinus -- plus, it even plays into his particular flavor of anti-theist magic, since it's essentially a non-divine version of commune.

I love how the block button is the one of the three banishing spells you can do in real life.

I love making wizard choices and then being reminded three weeks later that wizard choices also involve wizard consequences.

do we think mile high club gate s*x after austria 2019?

Heck yeah!!! this is when it happened. Had to be hate s*x on those lovely leather seats.

they started an argument on the plane, ended up hooking up very loudly in the bathroom, came out avoiding eye contact with everyone else, and then proceeded to unfollow each other on instagram

it has come to my attention that not everyone has seen my favorite quote from "one dumb guy":

idk why it's so funny to me but this line lives in my head rent free. i swear i reference "this weird little gay man's hitting on me. turns out he wasn't gay, that's just bruce" at least once a week

Decided just now that it'd be really funny to have a whole bunch of different d&d characters who are all like former knights of the same order or crestfallen sellswords from the same mercenary company but also have all of them individually believing for their own reasons that they are the last surviving member of their group

something something still writing my curse of strahd fic. having to find ways to make it more difficult since theyre coming in from being level 13 post game

I did also get EXCELLENT cRanboo images from the first day but I would like more time to vet and caption those; also not impossible I will be posting more Squiggles if I get perms to from involved

Love an RP session that lasts a longer duration than the amount of time elapsed in game. It's fine. Everything is fine.
