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

Reader mode
Hmm, we will need to wait until we get something like Ice Assassin/Greater Simulacrum for a second Viserys then, specially since he would be limited to his 10th level incarnation.

Oh wait, a 10th level pencil pusher is still far too much compared with what people would expect.

That's most of the reason I was so eager to murder Tor the first time around -- he had Viserys' blood running in his veins.

Huh. And here I though I was the only one constantly spewing about that particular danger.
Oh wait, I was.

We were damn lucky with catching him.
I'm willing to bet, Tor would have cursed us to hell and back via Sseth.

Constantly talking about a threat (or anything, really) only makes people exhausted to think about it, and therefore far less supportive of you. I was only saving my arguments for when he was actually in front of us.

Lo and behold, @Goldfish prevailed.

Tor's was a particularly beautiful execution. Bravo, Goldfish.

Now that we can Wild Arcana simulacrums, why aren't we making a couple of Viserys Simulacrum? If only to help with administrative jobs giving us more efficiency and time for adventuring?

Honestly? We just never had the time or the inclination to do so. Viserys is a very take charge ruler due to both his upbringing (or lack there of) and his time as an adventurer (which technically he still is).

He's gotten good at delegating now that he has a group of people he implicitly trusts with such responsibilities, but before then he was the first one into the breach and the last one to leave after he strip-mined the place.

It also doesn't help that the damn thing is a major security risk (as many people have already noted). Varys might be a hypocritical maniac and he totally deserves what Bloodraven is about to give him for the rest of his tortuously long life, but he was right to use something as a safeguard.
 
I'm really curious to see how deep the conspiracy went. Above all, was the reason the Darklyns were so overconfident because a certain someone promised them support and then left them to dry? Varys timing was incredibly convenient.

I don't think Bloodraven or Viserys would mind sharing the simulacrums. It's best to keep everyone constantly updated on the going-ons in the Red Keep, and we'll be able to hand off control to Bloodraven when otherwise occupied with conquering and ruling.

Oh, god! Varys gets a live feed of the communications of his enimies because he is used as a relay! :rofl:
Only, you know, not him.

Personally, I prefer bloodraven having control if we can only pick one, but both seems good.

Hmm, I wondering if having the mannerisms of Varys is a thing the simicalrium does?

If not, there might be a problem. Maybe Bungle can stick a root in Varys,' head and use that to provide information to the replacement?

Same with pycell, I suppose.

There's really no reason we can't just share.

Viserys is the one making the simulacrum, and we'll stick some weirwood in there in the process. Since we made it it's loyal to us, and we can give it orders to listen to Bloodraven's instructions as well as our own via Telepathic Bond.

Problem solved. Bloodraven gets eyes in the Red Keep, and so do we.
 
Why is it a time consuming thing? We're leaving them to basically spy and keep Robert alive. Anything else is a bonus. We do have subordinates to watch for us. Viserys doesn't need to keep watching all the time. Get reports and stuff. Viserys and Bloodraven sharing is enough in my opinion.

Idle question totally unrelated to a certain omake chain. What's a good word for a group of warlocks? Coven is...wrong, and this definitely wasn't a cult.
