By the way, if the Others are undead fey with a cold subtype, would iron be effective against them? Being able to equip the Night's Watch with Cold Iron as well as Valyrian Steel would be convenient.

Cold Iron would be, for the Fey sub-typed enemies anyway. They're kind of weird though, they might have some Cold Sub-type creatures.

It's called Cold Iron by some cultures, to represent iron that has not been tarnished or moulded by flame.

It is probably called other things in different Planetosi cultures.

I think DP mentioned that the highest-up Others have left the Fey-category completly and are Aberrations? Not sure what besides copious amounts of Searing Fire helps there.

But for their minions Cold Iron, Fire and Obsidian should work.

I for one still would have pushed to keep it as a bargaining chip for the Court of the Stars. I really wouldn't have trusted the mind-warping on any of our own fey.

Most likely. Looks like Valyrian Steel is still very much the best weapon here.
 
To be honest it is better that the Watch have a steady mix of different metal typed weapons. Mithril for silver vulnerable enemies, Cold Iron for fiends and Fey, VS has the convenience of DR piercing that Adamantine has while also being especially good against even the aberrant Other foe types.

Are we making the Watch Witchers? Cause I'd be down for that.

[X] Crackclaw Point, to deal with a treacherous Maester
-[X] First, create a box of Cold Iron lined with Lead and place the crown inside, then place the entire thing back in your cloak
 
Huh. I've been browsing through Pathfinder spell list in search of additional buffs to put on Viserys via permanency scrolls, and I came upon this.
MYTHIC SEVERANCE
School necromancy [curse]; Level cleric 4, inquisitor 3, sorcerer/wizard 4, witch 4
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target one creature
Duration permanent
Saving Throw Will negates; Spell Resistance yes
You restrict the target's access to its mythic power. Each time the target attempts to cast a mythic spell, expend mythic power to activate a path ability, or use any other effect that requires expending uses of mythic power, it must attempt a Will saving throw against the DC of this spell. If it fails this saving throw, the creature loses its action and the ability it was attempting to use has no effect.
This spell has no effect on mythic abilities that don't require the target to expend mythic power.

Fuck you, Fey. Fuck you, elite Sulatan's warriors. Fuck you, Tiamat's servants.

...alright, I may be overstating it's value here, considering that more often than not us going full-bore on murderblendering is worth more than spending an action to merely impede an enemy...
Oh well, it's a really nice way of fucking with them anyway.

Dropping it on someone in the middle of Mythic ritual wil lbe priceless.

@Snowfire, you are right. The Tyrells have shown themselves as mostly self-serving. They backed the Targs, but when things went south, they chilled in the Stormlands and waited to see who would win. Now they kneel before Robert and try to curry favor with him.

Why should we trust someone like that against the likes of the Illithid, the Others or Asmodeus?

I believe the @Crake explanation is summed as:

"Remove Tyrell."

Even if we can't trust him and want to get rid of him, we sort of want to make an attempt to get him on our side solely for appearance's sake. Whether or not he was loyal, which is questionable, he at least appeared to be loyal, people think of him as being loyal to the crown in the war, and that's sort of more important then the reality. If we don't approach him at some point it seems like we are ignoring a loyal subject of his power because .... what, we just really don't care for the Reach?

There's no way to ignore the Tyrell's and not send a message of "I don't care about the Reach and I don't care about those loyal to me".

I mean, it's not like there's not benefit to it after all. Even if we can't get him to actively help us or we don't trust his word to help us, an agreement from him to just not support Robert and just stay out of the coming war would be a lot of help to us. Plus, if we go to the Tyrell's, we have opportunity to try and sway some of the other houses of the Reach to our side, which is really important for us to do if we actually plan to get rid of the Tyrell's and don't want the entirety of the Reach to hate us over that.

Sometimes, in politics, you have to treat people like their your friend even if you do not trust or like them at all. There's a value in acting friendly with anyone who isn't by default our enemy, which is so far the fake royal family and Tywin.

Mace is too important for us to shun without causing problems that could easily be avoided by just showing up and playing nice every once in awhile. Considering we can teleport it wouldn't even take that long.
