@DragonParadox, will this be the moment where Rhaella will take exception to our work-life balance?

@DragonParadox, will this be the moment where Rhaella will take exception to our work-life balance?
No, she does not begin to have a grasp on it yet.

Shit, being the autocratic ruler has got to come with some scheduling benefits right? And the extend bit is pretty much supposed to be "party a few more days and save the good stuff for when we come back" if outright delaying isn't too feasible. I mean no one's really gonna complain about a chance for more booze and good times right?

We're going to personally go back to Sorcerer's Deep as part of dropping off the Xorn's iron. We can tell them to postpone the festival then.

@DragonParadox can we not simply postpone the xorn business? they should understand, how long can we save if we do that? what if we supply everyone with horses? or if we teleport them all to the xorn enclave? (planeshift to SD, blindfolded, then back to the enclave?)

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Tell them to move the main part back a few days and tip generously to make up for it? Have Moonsong or other Bards do some hyping up for the days we're gone? Like I'm under the impression the festival is supposed to be X days. We want to delay by Y days. Why not fill up those delay days with lesser entertainment?

@Azel maybe offer shadow steeds?
@all, we can't go with them. We're carrying abberation turtles. Massive secrity liabality, and therefore massive loss of diplo points when they ask what's in the bag.
[X] Azel
I want to ask if they would like an arcane mark for us to teleport to if we get the festivle bit done so we can join them again before they reach the city so we can get in with max diplo, but I'm not sure how viable that is.
Edit: drop the abberation turtles off for when we get back - lya should cast her pokeball spell as extra insulation/salt insurance.

Agreed.

-[X] Whilst in Sorcerer's Deep, move the main part of the festival back several days so that you'll be there for it, and fill the delay with lesser entertainment.
-[X] Put any giants which can fit into your Bag of Holding, preferably the ones in the best condition. Then have Ser Richard carry the Bag of Holding until you can reach home and store the giants in the anti-divination chamber of the Shadow Tower.
-[X] Drop off the mouther-turtle there too for later use.
Yes, we can go with them. We're planeshifting back to SD before we head out with them, which means we can drop that stuff off somewhere safe before shifting back to escort them. And to be quite honest, why do you think that question will even come up? The paranoia here is ridiculous.

Easily fixed by dropping the turtles off at SD alongside the iron.

I'm expecting a mild revenge ploy from Rotstone that balloons out into a concerted effort when it notices the macguffin,
But yeah, drop them off. I've been awake too long

If it takes 5 days, we should be able to teleport in the day before they arrive. We'd be risking teleport in PoE, though.

Could you add sticking the two turtles into smoky confinement just for safety rather than have people need to feed the things?
And it's probably IC, but offering shadow steeds if the Genies aren't too big seems nice

Should I add that into the vote? And if so, what specifics should be in there?
Also, thoughts on how we deal with getting the iron giant corpses back to SD? I don't want to leave them with the Xorn. Between Dany and ourselves shapeshifting, could we carry/drag the things back and then bring Tyene or someone else with planeshift (is there someone else?) back with us to ship those corpses back to the material so we can strip them for parts?

You can add it in right now if you want, but it's honestly OOC to drag sacrifices around when we can just safely store them away at our home base.
As for the iron giant corpses, they are explicitly too cumbersome to harvest en mass. I'm honestly thinking we just stick with taking only one for a trophy--whichever one happens to be in the best condition.

MHD on shadow steed? Can we stone-shape sonething to contain it with handles?

It's also probably not the wisest of things to stubbornly try to drag all of the damn things back with us. Might appear a little too draconic to our new friends
That said, the update says that not all of them will fit into our Bag of Holding. @DragonParadox how many will fit? I'm probably just going to add in 'take as many as we can' as the possibility of using them for crafting materials is too good to pass up.

Yep, found it.
Can you add this to your vote?

We can take advantage of the Mindblank.
@Snowfire, we can take at least one or two giants.

I say we take as many of them as we can, and see if there should be any particular part of them more valuable than the others.
Viserys noted we couldn't easily transport 6, that don't mean we can't transport 3.

That's....actually a very good point. Does Dany have Stone Shape prepped?
