A Sword Without a Hilt: A Song of Ice and Fire/D&D 3.5 Crossover

Reader mode
@Azel, what is our timetable on conquest, again?
Lys next month; taking in Mantarys, Tolos and Volantis the one after (all while taking Myr), right?

Then several turns to establish Law/Order and take Pentos/Braavos?

...and also, tried hard as I could, yet I just couldn't let the notion of Tiamat gaining influence, power and followers go.

*rant incoming*

Red Dragon Orb is a great adventure to strive for, if only because of it's sacrificial value. Yet it can be delayed.

Valyria is the biggest pile of loot/dungeon on PM, Underdark aside. And it could have been delayed still (magpie tears aside).

But Tiamat?
She cannot wait for as long as we take to decide to go after her.
I don't trust dice, nor far essosi people's competence enough, to ward off her in anywhat effective manner.

We are getting more Mindblanks soon.
We are setting up divination division by the next turn.

How does 2.5-3 months hence sound, for a massive attack with all we have?

Blackfyre kid is a pain in the ass if not taken care of by Westeros.
Dragons are a magpie magnet, and a pain in the ass to get rid of.
Illyrio is just asking for it. And he's a pain in the ass to get our hands on.
*ranting intensifies and goes off into the distsnce*

@Goldfish how often will we be using Greater Angelic Aspect?

Quite often, I would assume. It's a fantastic combat buff for Viserys, but also potentially a devastatingly effective PR tool. Fire it up alongside Starmantle, combine with social buffs, and suddenly Viserys is so damned convincing that genuine Angels and other Celestials are having trouble discovering otherwise. The muggles won't stand a chance.

With Dywen working Westeros from one angle, that of the benevolent wise man and mouthpiece of the OG, Angel Dragon Viserys can work from the opposite angle, offering fiery condemnation of the Faith of the Seven and the Seven themselves, all while encouraging schisms within the Faith. With seven distinct deities, whom we have seen do not necessarily share the same overarching goals or values, the Andal Pantheon is especially vulnerable to this sort of tactic.

Also we'll be invincible to non magical wepons and spells lower than 3rd level. Which is pretty dope.

Oh look we can rip the faith into Seven pieces how nice. I am all for this plan.
 
Also, when are we divining and killing/looting Euron?
That encounter years ago doesn't let go off me even now.

My half-magpie nature screams in agony, knowing that he's out there, looting the stuff we are rightful owners of.

...Even if beyond the quest's timescale, but whatever, we are building the world order, everything is ours.

Also, just like Tiamat, he's building a powerbase, and I just can't stand letting someone do that when we are fully capable of stopping them.

Wouldn't take much with some dedicated divination and SoDs dropped on his ships.
A few updates at most.

But will sure as heck reduce my blood pressure.

You know, this whole idea - sending 'Dywen' in to perform miracles and advocate the will of the Old Gods - has a lot of promise. How many lords would be willing to publicly convert if they had their youth restored, or something along those lines? Perhaps not many, but having people willingly convert away from the Seven, any amount really, will still be huge.

It'd serve as a way of strengthening the OGs and combating the Seven without courting the various issues that doing it as Viserys entails. It'd also give the Old Gods a 'face', so to say. The Dragon King and the Three Eyed Crow aren't suitable for that role, so establishing a visably benevolent and charismatic, while still mysterious and powerful figure could give us a whole new avenue of action.

Plus having a solid Fizban style cover for helping in secret is an age old tradition for the King of the Dragons.
...what? Ever since the thread told me that we might trip and fall into dietyhood, I've been sizing up Bahamut certain parties for a pair of golden boots to match our cloak.
After all, if the long term plan for Dany is to usurp Tiamat's profile and become the CN god of dragons, then there is a perfectly serviceable (and currently criminally misused) deific profile Viserys could loot to become her LN counterpart, ushering a much more efficient model of cooperation instead of wasteful sniping and petty bickering the current set specializes in.

I'd prefer not to become a god at all, of course, but if we have to do it, let's go big, yeah?

:???: I don't know where this came from, but for most of us we're actively avoiding godhood, and we're certainly not shoehorning Dany into a role like that. If it happens by accident the plan is to sacrifice our divinity to a divine ally or something.

The best parts are the skill descriptions
The raindrops themselves stand still as you act at the speed of thought. You move like a blur, catching your enemies by surprise with a complex action carried out in a tiny fraction of the time normally needed to complete it.

Your keen eye picks out the slightest imperfection in your opponent's defenses. Your weapon becomes a tool of your mind

You step into a space between heartbeats and act again while your enemies are still reacting to your last strike.

You move in a blur, leaving scorch marks in your wake as you twirl around the battlefield, slicing into your foes as you move

And then this quest was Anime.

Note: should probably make a nice +10 Concentration item for him. And well beyond the point of boosting his CON to +4.

Also, zxzx makes a good point. I think it's relatively safe to substitute Wall of Blades for Mithral Tornado by now.

Added a +10 Concentration item to his wishlist for next month's crafting. His amulet's upgrade to +4 Constitution is currently being worked on. It wasn't on my list of upgrades from a couple days ago, though, because there wasn't time to finish both his and Lya's +4 Constitution item upgrades before the Valyria expedition, and Lya needed it more considering she's still super squishy.

Of course that's my preferred option as well, but a while back several people in the thread informed me that it's possible to accidentally a whole godhood in standard D&D. I'd rather have a plan in place to make the best of a bad situation if that happens.

That this plan just so happens to go badly for the target of one of my only personal grudges in this setting is a complete coincidence. :whistle:

The plan is to chop out the offending part of our soul and toss it to Yss. No worries. Also, while it's possible to accidentally get godhood, it's also very unlikely. See the Sultan of the Brazen Throne actively trying to attain godhood and still not managing to achieve it.

Yeah I brought that up at the time, apparently it wasn't convincing evidence ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I daresay we are eating a lot more dangerous energy fields than he does :V

Beforesleep thought:
That "Angelic Dragon" image would have been perfect had we had resurrected Meraxxes by now.
