Current Trophies IV:

Anu-Simung, the Charnel God (CR 25)
Twenty-Third of the Second Month 294 AC
Once the form, polished fine alabaster and brass, might have belonged to some idol in a shrine long desecrated, but now it is the withered flesh of once-divinity wrought anew in the image of what remained of his children. Sky-Forger He was called and indeed be bears the hammer that had escaped you before the gates of Sallosh. Star-Tamer he is called and indeed he bears a star brighter than any steel in the light of dying flames. Hour-Smith he was honored as for he had been the one to set the hours of night, day work and merriment for the folk of the Great Plains when they had forgotten them in the dark times and indeed a cloak woven with seals of order and permanence is bright upon his shoulders. Anu-Simung was a Sarnori god of Artifice, Metal, and Sky, one who delighted in acts of creation and the furthering of knowledge. Unfortunately, with the genocide of his people, the lack of worship saw him fall into a torpor. When he awoke, it was to a broken world, ruled by the slayers of his worshipers. Enraged, it was he who smote the heathen murderous Dothraki raiders, he who commanded the dead rise from their graves to take their vengeance. Had it ended there things might have ended differently... but the dead under his command began attacking citizens of the Imperium, and that couldn't be allowed to stand. He emerged in the midst of the undead hordes of Sarnath, challenging the allied armies of King Viserys and Queen Namaaru, with such power that a single strike of his hammer smashed Heralds out of the sky and nearly laid Companions low, but in the end he was felled in single combat by Ser Richard Lonmouth who was the only one present to be able to withstand his onslaught. Upon Anu's death, King Viserys laid claim to his star-metal hammer, his star-metal armor, and his cloak of stars.

The Jabberwock (CR 23)
Nineteenth Day of the Fourth Month 294 AC
Its scales are pale as a fish's belly, its jagged teeth open wide to reveal a worm-like tongue, and twisting horns burst from its flesh. Words from a tale echo in its presence. The claws that catch, the eyes of flame. Fragments of a poem, flashes of a hidden truth. The Jabberwock is a twisted mockery, all the savagery of a dragon with none of the grace, all the rage with none of the wisdom. It is madness made manifest, the culmination of the grand echo of the Maesters' Conspiracy against House Targaryen and Magic itself. It was encountered in the Feywild when Viserys and his companions were pursuing the enemy Archmaester Perestan, and it ate Perestan, but succumbed to a single spell from Viserys and was petrified by his command.

Missing Shaggoth (CR 22)
Twentieth Day of the Fourth Month 294 AC
A quiver in the dark, oily flesh that bubbles like tar, that spews and divides into pseudopods, some thin as the width of a single hair, others as thick as tree trunks and eyes everywhere eyes, bright as lightning up in poisoned skies. Monsters of eons past, these Shaggoth lay in wait for Viserys and his companions as they attempted to stop a dread ritual the Deep Ones enacted to bind the Ironborn to the Drowned God.

Ancient Savant Creature Psion Mind Flayer (CR 18)
Somewhere in the Age of Heroes, Before the Rise of Valyria
An ancient Mind Flayer who lived in the Age of Heroes, one who had altered himself beyond the norm for his kind. He attempted to defend the ritual to bind the Ironborn to the Drowned God, but was ultimately captured after his staff was wrested from his hands, his Aboleth ally abandoning him the moment the tides of battle turned.

Advanced Wizard Creature Agile Aboleth Chronomancer (CR 25)
Sometime in the Age of Heroes, Before the Rise of Valyria
The architect of a dread ritual to forever bind the Ironborn to the Drowned God and slay them if they betrayed their vow, this Aboleth is a chronomancer fought in eons past, a night-black horror wreathed in the crimson light of its three staring eyes. When Viserys and his companions sought to usurp the dread ritual and harvest its power for the crafting of the Imperial God, the chronomancer fought back, yet it quickly became clear it would lose the battle, and so it fled. Unfortunately for it, Viserys and his companions managed to ambush it by traveling to directly after the battle and snaring it with a teleport trap, upon which Ser Richard dealt the final blow.

We can easily make an arrangement like "Someone teleports Teana once a week to teach Yssila".

I doubt Yohn is in any hurry to daughter learn, and she can do assigned reading in the meantime.
 
Another option for teaching would be to be open in the sense of letting Yohn hire a magic tutor.
It's not a challenge to the king, jsut to the conservative Seven worshippers.
We need open reasons to kill those anywayand could do so.

Because they proved that it works or because exposure to them has slowly whittled away his sanity?
Yes.
Did you expect any other answer?

There's a difference?

Hence my question, (which has been kind of answered already by what you said) Malarys didn't know of any political tensions before it all went kaboom? Rumblings of dissent or positioning of assets, soundings of loyalty amongst the colonies? Rumors of disagreements between dragonlords? I'm basically asking if there was a climate of tension in Old Valyria in the weeks preceding the Doom, kind of like Robert's court the weeks (and maybe even months) before his death in canon. Robert himself said everyone smelled a war, as far back as Episode 2 (can't remember the chapter).

Not really, such intrigues would have been by their very nature kept close to the chest by any conspirators.
 
For the first part, that's where letting things unfold will work out.
Waymar propably won't go behind his father's back here.

But for teaching, why can't we kidnap her?
In doubt the mountain tribes did it.

It puts us in the position of having the children of many of the lords who would initially support us out of their care, and in ours. From the outside, it looks like we're not fake kidnapping, but real kidnapping and using that (and likely dastardly magic) to force people to our side, in the meantime corrupting the children we've sunken our evil claws into.

A new tutor might work, though the servant's tongues will wag. The animosity against magic was strong enough for Waymar to be sent into exile in the first place, so it's something we should approach with delicacy.
 
@DragonParadox can we get a later scene where Waymar tells his family he has and regularly rides an actual griffon now?:p

If nothing else his sister will be demanding to visit SD and we can easily bring her home through their Weirwood tree.:D

That was about 3 years ago.
Since then the faith has legitimized magic schools in several of the Seven Kingdoms.

I'm sure doing this openly will make Royce enemies, but they are the kind of people who will be our foes anyway and would look good impaled on a Weirwood branch.
 
[X] Let things unfold
-[X] If Waymar says yes, point out that there are many different paradigms her power may express itself through, should she be able to wield magic (and this is
likely, but not confirmed).

*Looks at thread*. What!? I'm not a fan of Duskblade :oops:.

I would like to see one of Waymar's older brothers 'test his skill'. It can be friendly version of the beat down we didn't get to see Richard give. Bloody de
 
Yohn is her father, and head of house. We can let this stay in family. Should they wish.

However.

Spell craft and use magic device are going to be skills like reading and doing math. They should keep that in mind.

Don't worry. She'll get a better class. We're not turning her into a Duskblade.
 
May lower the DC by 5 for the purposes of determining how much work was done
Work done is "DC x alchemy check" and that result must be the item's price in silver.

The silver part makes it a bitch, but the point is, the part where he lowers DC doesn't lower it for determining the work done, and the later feature in fact makes it higher for this formula only.

Example: Sunrod, 2GP, DC 25
-Normal cost to create: ~66 silver
- Total progress needed: 200 (2 gp = 200 sp)

Waymar rolls against DC(25-5) and gets a total of 32.
Price he paid: 33 silver
Progress made: ((25+5)*32) = 960 -> 200/960 = ~ 0.20, meaning he completes the task in a fifth of the normal time
Time to craft: 7 days/5 = 1.4 days

I think we settled alchemy could be made in batches equal to the number of alchemy ranks one has? Or was it alchemy bonus?

I wonder if anymore of Waymar's family would be interested in unlocking the magic within their bloodline at all since it is connected with their First Men ancestry.
 
I think we might need a bit more of a hands on approach. We don't want Yohn to just hire some nobody to teach Ysilla a non optimized tier 4 class. We want to be hands on with this and turn her into a force to be reckoned with in the eventual area she ends up specializing (be it admin, healer, dps, support, diviner, etc). That being said, that should be broached with Lord Yohn only after we've had a few days to diplomancy him (and that the family knows us better).
 
Ysilla needs to ask her father before anything gets agreed to, specially since they need to keep this quiet so it'll involve a lot of teleporting to SD for the teaching (teaching her in the castle would be nuts, all the servants would know something big is up in a month).

The "Tutor" would obviously be one of us or Taena.
It's more about the facade of not being connected to us.
 
The dissent is more about the method to make it viable, but not inherent disinterest in teaching her magic.
