Ouch.
I'm truly hurt.


...'aight, I'm tired of being hurt.

We can make Tiamat's first Avatar into a goofy, 3rd-grade Villian for mirrorvision series.
And continuously hurt her through millions of people watching and having a blast from her balls-to-the-wall stupid antics there.

Much T-pose, very assertive, wow

can we also make Mommon and Ymeri dumb villains in shows? with Ymeri it might actually help if it get's into her story enough through the mirror vision plays
 
@egoo I think we can make very blatant expies of of bad guys we've come across, but I wouldn't copy and paste Tiamat or Mammon into children's shows. Generally speaking you just don't want a large number of people making light of them. Asmodeus would definitely take advantage of the laxity that kind of attitude would generate.

Yeah, that was about my feeling when I started thinking about it, since the bad guys in this style of cartoon tend to get a fair amount of sympathy over how they end every episode in traction, and Tiamat deserves none.

Never said anything about the other guys, it's just Timmie who'll be really hurt really soon, and on whom I think we can capitalize by portraying her as a weak idiot to millions.

Mammon and others will be better served as expies indeed.
I don't think we'll get any other Deity-grade enemy hurt as badly as we are going to try here and now... well, basically ever.
(b/c everyone else of such level we'll be gunning to kill from the get-go, Ymeri, the 15th, and Bloodstone!Emps mainly)

  • [X] Plan "Hang in there..."
    -[X] The death or capture of Aegon becomes the new priority target for Teams Malarys, Vee, and the assorted members of other teams (Harbinger, Erinyes, Mind Dragons, etc.). Vee hits him with Dimensional Lock and anyone who can use Dimensional Anchor tries to hit him with that as well.
    -[X] Lya uses Harmonic Chorus on Viserys, raising his caster level and spell DCs by +2.
    -[X] Teana uses Alter Fortune to assist Viserys, if necessary, then uses her Shadow Illusions augmented by Solid Shadows to defend the group to the best of her ability (duplicated Wall of Force, Wall of Stone, Wall of Scales, etc., whatever is most appropriate).
    -[X] Dany uses Divine Defiance to Counterspell the next spell Tiamat casts then acts in whatever support capacity is most appropriate (Reached Heal, Dreamcast Wall of Scales, countering an attempt to Command Dragons via Turning, etc.) to help the group.
    -[X] Richard and Sandor continue to ward their charges as previously decided.
    -[X] Viserys casts Assay Spell Resistance, then uses Pronouncement of Fate against the Avatar via Miracle while canceling his Moment of Greatness buff to double the effects of Lya's Harmonic Chorus (caster level 24, or 38 to overcome SR [rolling twice and taking the higher result], Will save DC 37 for partial effect). He then expends one Mythic Power and his Amazing Initiative ability along with his Belt of Battle to use Wild Arcana to raise a 24th level Wall of Suppression between the Avatar and our group, shaping the 48 resulting 5-foot cubes as necessary to protect everyone. He uses his Ring of Spell-Battle to Counterspell before this, if necessary.

Part MMMCCCXL: Curse and Claim
  • Threadmarks
    • Curse and Claim ​

    Thirteenth Day of the Twelfth Month 293 AC

    "Let all your pride be ashes and all your power spent, forgotten and accursed be!" you shout, the words heavy with the magic of your soul, with the will that carried you to this far off place to deal death and ruin. Madness it is to think that you can curse a goddess, and yet you attempt it. Perhaps only the mad would dare face the mother of dragons. So it had been in lost Valyria so it would be now.

    Some nameless skein of the world tears, behind you and all around, as your magic washes over Her and for a moment she recoils as though you had struck some physical blow against her titanic form. You had not overcome her will, the mind and might of the Mother of Dragons, who was a godless when the world was young, but you had struck and wounded her just the same. Pride floods over you and you know it is of Her, you hate it and you love it, but you cannot deny it.

    She hears you of course, the curse is more than sound passing through the air, it is a challenge Five heads turn to regard you, then pairs of hateful eyes: "I made you child, I shall unmake you." Five voices speak as one. In one clawed talon a ruby glitters brighter than her scales. Even as Lya begins to weave an arcane harmony so too does Tiamat, the azure head coiling through the sky almost as if dancing... or laughing

    Pressing your hands against the air you spin a wall of power into being, and intangible barrier to all magics... all lesser in power than yours at least. As you look into eyes bright as crimson flame you know it is not enough.

    "Viserys Targaryen," She hisses your name just as she had on that long ago death when your sister had bargained with Her for your life. "Bound thy be."

    With those three terrible words you know the ruby is not the only thing she is holding, besides it there is something else too small to see, a shed scale, a silver hair wrapped tight. You feel the pull of the ruby through silver and through magic, even through the cloak of devil's hide forged.

    You raise the ring to deny the spell... time twists against you. Though Dany tries to counter it, voice desperate in your ear, Her spite proves stronger and the band of gold is nothing but a dead weight upon your hand. Only your will remains to fight the pull.

    Feeble mortal will... relent...

    It is such a small spell, one you have heard used a thousand times before, a finger placed on the scales of fate, Dany too must have cut herself free from the threads of time too to be able to cast another spell so soon, practically overlapping with her last attempt. Her wing is a soft touch upon your face.

    It is enough.

    You shudder, a film of cold sweat across your face, the ivory rod is slippery in your hand. "Your Grace," Ser Richard's voice sounds shaken as you have rarely heard it in a fight. You have rarely heard him speak beyond calling out instructions, or asking how best to fight the foe. What does he see in your face? You are not sure you want to know.

    Tiamat's jaws snap in vicious rage at having been denied her 'prize' so narrowly, then open to spew out the roiling destruction deeper than any spell, but before the tide of ruin can flow over you the ground cracks with a sound like thunder and for the first time you see it. The weapon of Ancient Qarth, meant to fight the rebellious get of Tiamat not turned against her.

    If one takes each feature in part the Worm should not look impressive, skin of pitted marble like the walls of crumbling temples, over which flows sand, soil and the blood of the fallen, eyes of black onyx flat and without luster, dead and empty. It cannot know fear for it has no will, only a purpose. It wraps around Tiamat, coil upon counter coil, the fire, frost, vitriol and poisoned breath of her breath turns against the interloper.

    "It's breaking!" Lya calls urgently, as a web of cracks races through the ancient stone, as avatar and construct smash into the earth with a titanic crash that dwarfs the sound of the Worm's emergence.

    "It's cracking, we don't need to hold it forever, just long enough..." Dany holds the Well of Eternity in her hands.

    How do you make use of the Well of Eternity?

    [] Write in any contingencies and buffs (1d3+2 Rounds Until Timat breaks free)

    OOC: Not going to lie I was hoping I could include the words 'you are Daenerys Targaryen' in this update. I liked the symmetry of echoing Viserys death with something that would leave his body cold and empty, hinging upon a single roll. Fortunately for you guys Viserys passed.

    Not gonna lie, that would have been damn cool. Still, I'm glad to have made the save.

    By the way, where did she get one of our scales? Can she just make it appear for any Dragon a part of her Divine bullshit, or did Varys or some other spy fetch it for her ages ago?
     
    ...did she just pull Curse!staff bullshit on us?
    Huh. She just did. The bitch.

    Well, at any rate, I'm glad Viserys' willsave managed, if with Dany's Alter Fortune.

    ...is anyone else finding that the spell wins almost every fight we are in?
    It certainly feels like every time we are about to fuck up, it saves the day. Or fuck ups the enemy.

    Seriously, it's always there.

    Well in this case it was also the curse you cast on Tiamat, she lost and action that she would have used to counter-spell the alter fortune.
     
    [] Teleport to Aegon, give him one chance to be free from Tiamat and screw her over in the process. One chance to surrender and survive, instead of facing at best oblivion and at worst Tiamat's homeplane after failing her.
    -[] No time for discussions, you get a yes and put the Well on him, or you get a no and move on to the Avatar.

    That'S not much, do we have anyone good with words here?
