I remember icelus refusing to touch this. His reaction was funny IIRC.That from the guy who restored the Summon Cow spell...
I remember icelus refusing to touch this. His reaction was funny IIRC.I know why too... After turning into a bird, she can't be looted or killed for that uber awesome totally overpowered weapon that shouldn't have been put on her but was by some mere 'random' chance
You guys can do it, but we purposely looked at the bird lady and said "hell no". :-)
One quest that has to do with a polymorphed character sounds different to you?Yes, it does. If it didn't, by that reasoning, we would leave Aerie an ogre in the circus because there was a polymorph used in some other quest. In fact, that bears more similarity to Melicamp than Olivia. In those cases, you need to polymorph some creature back into a humanoid. In Olivia's case, she willfully wants to be changed from a humanoid into a seagull. Polymorphing and shapeshifting are hardly uncommon in the Realms, but this willful plea to change into some other being (rather than the original form) is unique as far as I recall. What's funny is that you're the one who called for this UB investigation and six years later you're the one protesting it .

it bears too much a similarity with Melicamp.Not really. Hardly at all, actually.
Well, obviously she needs to give the wand to the party *before* turning into a gull, so there needn't be any conversation after that, just a Polymorph(SEAGULL) EscapeArea(). Besides, everyone knows birds can't talk .Tell that to the guy running from Melicamp

BEGIN ~OLIVIA~What an odd unfinished quest. Kind of cool though. Apparently, the party has to find some sort of spell or potion that will transform her into a gull. After receiving that, she evidently should reward the party with a lightning wand and fly away.
