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

"It is in these days of revelry when we are not only reminded of the things to be joyous about, but also of the empty seats on our tables. I came not here on a whim. It was the memory of a debt owed to your house and which, with the power gained in the years since it was accrued, could now be paid back in full. A life was given to me by the acts of your uncle and so a life is owed. And I always have given what I owed."

We can talk about recruiting their smallfolk into spying for us later. We are busy with the Varys clean-up next month anyway.

Thank you! I wasn't happy with what I had, and this is much better. Adding in.
 
Updated plan with some premium AzelTM​ Speechifying and a bit more from myself to help it flow. @Azel et. all, if there's anything you feel should be added or removed, let me know. I don't really want to spring the Resurrection on him right now.

[X] Plan Recompense and Revelry
-[X] "It is in these days of revelry when we are not only reminded of the things to be joyous about, but also of the empty seats on our tables. I came not here on a whim. It was the memory of a debt owed to your house and which, with the power gained in the years since it was accrued, might now be paid back in full. A life was given to me by the acts of your uncle and so a life is owed. And I always have given what I owed."
-[X] "House Darry has given my family service far beyond what was required of it, and it sits ill with my sister and I for them to be absent on this day of celebration when others who fought against us have come to our city."
-[X] "So in that spirit I would offer you this. Passage by magic to my city for you or a party of yours, under glamour if you would wish it, to partake in the festival, or even the tourney." Implicit in this will also be the promise of return to his home, made explicit if needed. We will offer Ribbons of Disguise, as a loan.
-[X] Before returning him home, we may make the offer of Resurrecting Willem, if Raymun has found the reality of Sorcerer's Deep to be pleasing.
--[X] The plan here is to use this to judge again his acceptance of magic and what it can do. From that, we can make the offer of returning Willem when we see him or his party back home.

OOC: Just leading with the resurrection would not work so I need to know what other arrangements you wish to make first. Also I've seen a lot of disussion about Ser Darry being Viserys' father figure. That may have been the truth four years ago but right now the closest thing Viserys has to a father figure lives in a cave up north, resting on a weirood throne. However that does not mean he does not respect both Ser Darry and his sacrifice.

I would think Ser Darry was still a father figure to Viserys, Viserys just feel like an adult now, so he don't look up to Ser Darry like he did back then, which don't mean he don't still love Ser Darry, like he would a not terrible father, though not to the same extent as most sons love their fathers, due to the fact that only a part of Viserys childhood was spent with Ser Darry.

There is also the fact that Viserys was a prince and Ser Darry his sworn knight for those years to keep in mind. That also shifted the relationship away from 'father son'.

That is a nice entry for 'and I have the power to call back that life', but not for 'let's have a party'.
Ie., I agree with your soft approach, just your entry is off.

I still can't quite articulate my thoughts on this matter in words, so I think I will just say that this line caused a pretty content bit of laughter.

That's an excellent point. Made some mods to that line. This look better?

We'll save the rest of Azel's excellent line for when we're about to take him home, if we think he can handle the offer.

As the festival reaches its official opening you are surprised and proud of the numbers of visitors the Lawmen and the Harbormaster tallied up—ten-thousand, one visitor for every five people in the Deep.

Apparently Luxembourg's population swells and shrinks by 20% every working due to cross border workers.

Oops... let's just say the combination of metal and quartz is tasty.

And now we export Adamantine pretzels with Quartz salt.

Two Questions about this>

1) Is Bloodraven touched by Viserys feelings towards him?

2) In the situation that Bloodraven dies what is Viserys' reaction? Hypothetically of course. I just want to know the damage.
 
I'm very much anticipating the next round of the melee. While it will be hilarious, my money is square on Sandor in his match with Moonsong, which gives rise to the possibility of Sandor vs. Leto and that one will be a sight to behold.

Also, @DragonParadox, what are the contestants feeling about fighting in this?


Must be a bit of a step up from a sand pit next to the jousting ground with at best maybe a few hundred people watching.

  1. Quite probably from what you have seen of his gradual warming towards both Viserys and Dany
  2. His reaction would be to try and resurrect him... try hard. Then avenge him and then asses the emotional damage.

On our tables vs. At our tables.

Came not here on a whim vs. I came here not on a whim.

And I always have given what I owed vs. And always have I given what I owed.
