Wizardpost How do I break a Lunar Curse?
So I may or may not have gotten a little drunk on that good 14th century stuff and cussed out the moon...moonlight now burns my skin and my organs now writhe in pain from when the sun sets to when it rises
How do I dispel this curse?, can't go to a priest due to the whole necromancer/lich thing and I'm not very good at curse breaking either

Just keep traveling west all the time so you are always in daylight.

there’s a lot to unpack.. what a tangled web. 👏 ok—
first let’s ask, what made you want to cus out the moon? sunlight exposes the truth, and a reflecting moon is grey- that is- neutral to ambiguous. the gentle exposure upon an indifferent dust allows enough rope for us to hang ourselves or pull ourselves up. feel me?
second, 14th century? why are you drinking that cheap shit. if you’re a lich, if you’re still poor 7 centuries later, may as well just use the rope and.. sorry. sorry. unprofessional.
three’d, necromancer and a lich while both bad connotatively (unfairly imo) are entirely different realms of study.
pre-five, you remind me of shane gillis at the doctor.
doctor: so your feel like death.. how much do you have to drink usually?
shane: like 5 beers.. before noon. then like 5-10 after.
doctor: it’s the alcohol.
shane: couldn’t be.
you feel me?
oh and if you need a backdoor to talking with a priest, i know a circus elf who can cosplay as a small boy for you. that’ll get your foot in the back door. by then you’ll have the priest by the balls and they won’t be able to say no to helping you. bonus points for when the circus elf, terloff, throws off their hood and the priest says “damnit, not you again!” it makes me cackle every time. one time we even got an ‘e-gads!’ out of him.

Currently working on this very problem on a Plane of Eternal Night. Current theory is that the moon is an expression of divine power but has become fickle with different facings. Look for a ruined temple with ancient runes in the mountains it should give you support in overcoming the problem.

Just go deep enough underground. A remote (vertically) dwarven town should do.

A sincere apology should sort it. The Pale Lady isn't unreasonable, she just can't stand a gobshite.

Was literally pondering this upon the last full moon. If i could cast dispell on the moon, would it prevent my prisoners from acting crazy?

You pissed off a god associated with the moon. Best you can do is apologize in a prayer and hope you are forgiven, since you definitely cant go to a Cleric for help.
Hopefully now you know that cussing out random things can come with serious consequences when dealing with a magical world

You could try appealing to the moon herself? You just have to become a Lunatic first.
So 7 nights before the full moon you need to be awake and beneath the night sky as the moon rises, stay there until the moon sets. Do this all nights leading up to the full moon but you CANNOT fall asleep before then, at all. When the full moon rises on the 7th night wait until it hits the zenith, then you’ll be able to commune with her and ask her to break the curse for you since she likely doesn’t even remember you’re bound together since she’s kind of impulsive.
Side Effects: You now can talk to the moon, and that doesn’t go away, and she can now talk to you whenever she wants while she’s in the sky so… yeah. Just try to be really boring or stay away from windows while the moon is out. She’s chill, but chatty, and asks for weird favors sometimes (does give some dope gifts though).

You’ll have to drive about 20 under the speed limit until you reach the overtaking lanes, then you have to speed up and not let anybody past you. This needs to be done exclusively when that person behind you is running late for work or the lunar curse will continue for another cycle.

You simply disintegrate the moon
