And he's done.  The Conspiracy has done an even better job of making it look like masochists exist, than making it look like Abrogail is the ruler of Cheliax in cooperation with Asmodeus's Church, which says something about their priorities if nothing else.

 

Keltham is... sort of brain-tired at this point.  Trying to think of all these things while not thinking of other things is sort of excessive for a mental control exercise.

But.  So long as Fennelosa is in Absalom, should Keltham be buying any scrolls that he could potentially use today?  Delaying a while about that gives the Conspiracy all sorts of chances to get up to all sorts of shenanigans, like trying to quickly write or complete the books Keltham 'bought', so the Conspiracy has a chance to claim that his scrolls can't be found at the next shop or two that Fennelosa tries.  Still potentially worth doing; they leak bits if nobody has Sending, you'd expect that to be a very common spell.  Some more Purge Invisibilities.  An Arcane Sight, Keltham has kept wanting to watch himself hanging a spell already with his own Arcane Sight instead of a slightly delayed illusion... well, no, he can requisition that later, if Ordinary wins on review; but Arcane Sight is potentially useful against the Conspiracy.  Early Judgment would be useful if anyone has that, it would give Keltham an emergency psychological buffer that doesn't take up a spell slot all the time... a psychological buffer that Keltham could very well need, if things go poorly.

Scrolls are expensive, but Keltham has some money and needs to be willing to spend some money, here.  He can afford a few low-level scrolls.  Is he missing anything from his shopping list?
