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

Reader mode
Yeah I personally want Viserys to interact with Myrcella, but I don't know if the perception of a five year old (?) would give us much.

@DragonParadox are we under any mundane disguise? Also not related but how did Graftons reunion with Alyssa go? Was scheduled in the 6th month to happen during the 7th.
 
...I am torn. On the one hand, we do seem to have a dragons compulsion to collecting maidens on the other Cersei will explode.

Then again Cersei breaking the heck down may be good for us.
 
Oh, thank god. Voices of reason.

No kidnapping Mycella. That's how you start the war with Westeros right this second and we don't have time for that crap.

This is a terrible idea on every level.
 
Kidnapping her would send alarm bells throughout the city. Our cover would be blown overwhelmingly. I suggest that we... target her with greater dispel and then put her to sleep. Also the most wasteful use of greater dispel.
 
Guys, stealth mission emphasis on stealth.

The Cuckold and his bitch wife might not be the sharpest tools in the shed but even they know enough about magic to think that "their" daughter seeing or talking to someone she doesn't know might be worth investigating and a giant magical blind-spot is still evidence ala the Imp conversation we just spied on not a few updates ago.
 
Really the easiest way to handle this would be to take the guise of a servant or something and get her to go back to whoever is supposed to be taking care of her.

So do we want to do anything with Marcella or should we just see her off? I don't think we should try anything magical - she probably has some sort of protection and it's just an unnecessary risk. An idea would be to disguise Viserys as a servant and simply talk with her. Tell Marcella that the cat's name is 'Balarion' and we're taking him back to his owner.

This idea. I like it.

[X] Plan Just A Humble Servant
-[X] After ensuring that your sudden appearance will not appear to be a result of magic, and checking for any hidden guards or other guardian entities with the help of Varys and Greater Arcane Sight, greet the Princess under the veil of a courtier come to collect a long-lost pet.
--[X] Tell her that the cat's name is Balerion, and that you've come to take him back to his owner.
---[X] Make a joke about how cats often are less owned and more owners themselves.
-[X] If it appears reasonable, there is no one else watching, and you are certain that no alarm spells will be triggered by it, remove the dust and spiderwebs from her clothing with a small working, seemingly bound to one of your rings.
--[X] 'Accidentally' acquire a few hairs in the process - people don't notice a few strands breaking as long as you don't pull them.

And then she'll tell her mother about the nice man who came to take Balerion back to his owner, and who cleaned up her dress with a wave of his hand!

Paranoia thy name is Cersei.

Depending on how close Balerion is to her we could also just use an illusion to get her to go back. Maybe add some sound effects and turn Balerion invisible so it seems like the kitty just doubled back

We will get a story about how mom doesn't care about her and then we will be even more tempted to kidnap her. No this way lies madness. Also we are in the Red Keep now. How the hell did we get in?

Edit: Oh the old Cart trick. That is very smart.

I don't actually want to kidnap her, y'all, I'm just saying that it is a valid tactic if we're willing to go through with it. We could do it easily enough without ever implicating ourselves, but it doesn't really seem like it would be worth the trouble.

We could have Dany Dreamcast a Chain of Eyes spell on her, though, then see where she ends up, and who she comes in contact with over the next 14 hours. Might learn something valuable that way.

That works. Though part of me wishes we had Tyene do some of her good old non magical Diguise skill-fu on us. Less chances of showing magic here the better.

No but you have a greater ribbon of disguise and have world-class bluff. You can look like practically anything under the sun and the toddler will believe you.
 
Mhrm I'm probably unreasonably worried that Cersei, Robert or someone has an alarm spell keyed to go off if some unrecognized massive source of magic goes near one of the kids... Just to ask, is there a conditional alarm spell like that?
 
I'll be honest, I don't want hide who Viserys is.

Let's just thank her for finding our niece's kitty whom she had to leave behind and misses dearly.

If she asks... just introduce ourselves :D

Just be a nice uncle, and leave. Maybe give her some of our Festival figurines as a consolidation gift, or a bar of chocolate (I'd guess Dany would carry one around as a snack, seeing as it's her favorite sweet).

Then watch the fireworks as Cersei goes full PARANOIA and sees or hears Viserys around every corner,beneath every bed, under any shadow and in the very walls.
 
To screw with them even further we should probably take Balerions ( the Dragon) skeleton back with us when we leave.

Not like we will get much information out of a three year old anyway. Best to get out quietly while we can before we run into anyone who can sense magic.
