End of Game. Help Me Take Down a God.

[kevin_video]

So the group's about to meet up with Orcus to ally ourselves with him to help us taken down the "final boss", and then we're going to take on the final module in the Savage Tides. After this, the game's over and we start anew (and despite what he does with the kid, I'm taking dragonborn because he can screw me over less that way).

So this is what I'm currently at. I need to be better in some way, shape, or form for the final showdown. Time is limited so upgrades to my weapons are based solely on making a deal with the god of magic items. Literally.

Aquatic half-elf half gold dragon 2 mineral warrior 1 half water elemental 1 mystic ranger 9/targetteer 2/half-elf paragon 1/human paragon 3/pious templar 3/negative level -1

Immune: paralysis, sleep spells and similar effects
Resist: Cold 5 (shield crystal), DR 1/-, DR 8/adamantine, fire 20 (Note: evasion, mettle)
Weakness: Sea longing
Darkvision 60, superior low-light vision, elven blood

Items:
Horizon Goggles
Cat's Eye Brooch/Power Preservation Brooch/Hand of Glory/Wyrmfang Amulet/Mage Hand
Ysgardian heartwire-laced millennial chainmail of nimbleness +2 (+3), Crystal of lesser screening
gloves of the master strategist x2

least Truedeath crystal

64,396 gold to spend

Wouldn't mind having better crystals, an actual +3 bow, and soulfire on the buckler, but I know I don't have that kind of cash. If there's something I absolutely need to have, let me know. Otherwise, suggestions on what to upgrade will be fine.

I cringed a little when I saw your name and this thread's title with no replies. I was right...

Is it Paizo's Orcus or the FC1 version? Because one I can help you with, the other I don't even have stats for. If it is the Paizo incarnation, all I need is the stats and I can come up with a plan to murder him.




Oh, and a nitpick: Orcus himself isn't a god (unless Savage Tides changed that). Tenebrous was the deity, and when he revoked the name he lost the Deity status (because his worshipers didn't know about it).

[Solo]

Oh, yay. Another wonderful Kevin_Video topic. What would I do without them?

Sorry, let me re-do this. Orcus isn't a god, and he isn't the one we're facing off against. We're going to meet with him and ally ourselves with his group, then take on an actual god in the Abyss.

Cry yourself to sleep? 

[Shadowhunter]

So, any info on which god?

[Sinfire Titan]

Oh, that does change things. As in "I can only pray it's one of the deities from Deities and Demigods, otherwise you may as well just start erasing your character sheet".

Your role in the adventure is going ot be that of cannon fodder. Plan accordingly.

[kevin_video]

Not much. Just that it's a he, I think it's spell Amul, and that he used to be the deity of one of our players (who's no longer gaming with us). I do know that he and the succubus god don't like each other.

I'm really hoping that's not the case. But then again, a couple of the gods that we talk to now were once characters a long time ago, who became gods. There have been a couple of those. If he does exist, he's not in the Deities book. I've looked. Probably help if I knew how to spell his name right. A few of the gods we've met this campaign though come directly from Dragon Magazine too.

Well, I used to be a glass cannon, then I died and got turned into a mineral warrior. Now I'm a crystal cannon.

For Christ's sake, it's Demogorgon. Help the man, already.   

[Solo]

I have.

[kevin_video]

Oh, I know that that's one of the body guards for the god. And I know of Demogorgon. I researched him after getting reintroduced to the cartoon series, and the kids fought him. He's a lot tougher in the magazine than he was on the show. Then again, according to WotC, the kids were all lvl 7, but their weapons made them ECL 9. Personally I think they were lvl 9 at the time of the book because Hank used tumble and evasion a lot, but that's probably just me over thinking things.

Slip the DM fifty bucks and ask him to let you guys win.

[Kuroimaken]

OK, I got good news and bad news...

Oh fuck it, I only got bad news.

A deity of any kind has so many fucking immunities that you have no hope of winning. At best, you can have the illusion of trying to help others win. 'S the truth and there's little to do about it.

Quick, knock out your DM for a couple of minutes and alter the campaign notes for that battle.

It's the only way.

Either that or decide to sit out of the petty squabbles of demons and deities

Which, assuming this is your Friday night DM, is not going to happen.

On an off topic note, doesn't Demons & Deities sound like the name of a Fantasy Heartbreaker?

Well, there is that one dating sim that has a god and a demon as two of the available girls...

Anyway, have you fought deities before on fridays? It might help to know how your DM plays them (other than retardedly). How likely is he to just have Orcus and the god in question duke it out while you guys watch and take hits for Orcus?
