Perhaps allow him to also manifest a +5 Fullplate of Heavy Fortification, with no ACP/automatically adjusts to his DEX mod, but with the usual caveat that it only works for him and crumbles to dust if it leaves his possession. Legion Archons do have that thing with armor.

We can make something exactly as good for him, or better, but it's neat.

Oh, and update his javelin ability to let him manifest +5 holy flaming javelins as free action, and they crumble to dust if they aren't immediately thrown.

Break it up between natural armor and full plate a little bit?

I realize Trumpet Archons have +14 natural armor, so mathematically thats not too out there but... Seems a bit much?

Eh, never mind. I don't know what I am on about.

@Azel I would write a plan if I could. In fact I might be able to after work since it appears this is going to be an overnight.

But when I do things like this, you or TNE or Goldfish tend to submit a plan anyway.

Does it feel better to have competition even if it's just noise in air at the end of the day though? 'Cause I can keep writing intrigue plans if so. At least I won't pay attention to your Insidious Machinations SparkNotes.

    Sixth Day of the Ninth Month 293 AC

    Rumors of Westeros:

    A Dragon Beneath Crimson Boughs (White Harbor/The North): It had long been told that Viserys Targaryen, unlike any of his ancestors, honored the Old Gods before the New, that he performed bloody rites before their roots such as have not been seen since before the coming of the Andals, yet the news of a new Great Sept in his capital was seen by many as returning to what was expected, wooing the Faith as almost every king since Aegon has done. That was not so. An impossibly tall pillar of white and crimson now rises above a Weirwood forest, raised it is said in a single day. For scores of leagues around the Isle of Sorcerers, farther on a clear day, sailors can see the enormous tree like a spear thrust into the heavens. Few now doubt that the Dragon King is indeed favored by the Old Gods, and rumors that the Children of the Forest themselves swing through the pale branches are greeted with thoughtful looks and not the derision they might once have faced. What this heralds none can know for the Old Gods are as silent as ever.

    Traitor's Tourney (Crownlands): King Robert is a man almost as famed for his love of tourneys as he is for that of wine and women, making the tale of the Grand Festival of Sorcerer's Deep all the more impressive to tell and interesting to hear—winged snakes and walking trees, dragons that speak like men and that can carve through castle-forged steel like a cat's claws through silk. There are darker tales of course—wizards from half-a-hundred places gathering to take Westeros and force their heathen gods on honest folk, though with the vast eastern lands the Dragon is said to have handed out to sorcerer and knight alike, many are quietly hopeful that all the sorcerers will stay in Essos and they can just keep the old lords that got the boot in the Rebellion.

    Black Wings Rising (Riverlands): Tales of Dragons in the Stepstones grow ever more common by the day—small dragons, big dragons, dragons that talk like men, and ones with three heads. Many highborn and low begin to wonder of the wisdom of holding faith with Robert Baratheon. The scouring of the Riverlands may have passed into legend, but it's a legend whose marks can still be seen as clearly as the melted towers of Harrenhal, and all the while tales grow of the Dragon's men amid the Vales and Forests.

    Rumors of Essos:

    Wizard's Way (Braavos): For years now the Dragon has been guarding the seaways of the Stepstones, the wealth coveted by east and west alike, but it seems that was too small a prize for his ambition for he has opened with some magic key another path to impossible riches. Hundreds of thousands from across Essos watched the great mirrors to cheer on the fights, to be amazed by sorcerer's arts, to see great warriors and strange beasts, but in the Secret City it was the sight of the strange woman who introduced herself as 'Djinn' that captured the imagination of high and lowborn alike. Here in the flesh was one who passed from beyond those doors—fair and mysterious she was, but not so much as to be fearful. Scores of bravos sail south in search of passage beyond the borders of the world, much to their fathers' chagrin, but it was the merchants and craftsmen who are looking to follow that are the most extraordinary. The odd heckler who calls it 'stealing good Braavosi hands' is given a short shrift, for the docks are working feverishly and the gold is flowing in alongside promises of more once Pentos falls and its treasury is left bare, its slaves freed.

    Serpentfolk of the Summer Seas (Myr): The sight of the Serpentfolk reflected in the mage-glass has led to many of the Lord Venturers to reassess the notions of trading expeditions to the Green Hell. Treasures like the pale one wore do not grow in trees, nor are they as easily plucked as fruit. With the slave trade dead there is even less cause to draw steel where soft words will do. Of course if there is to be more than talk then the traders will have to ask the Dragon where to sail to. It's probably safer than sailing blind around the coast of Sothoryos.

    Small Treasures (Pentos): Small steel figures wrought in the Deep have already begun to be traded at a premium among magisters and wealthy guildsmen even as wooded copies are passed under the table to slaves and freemen alike. For the magisters it is just another trinket of which they will likely tire with soon enough, but for the slaves and freemen of the city it is something far more precious—hope, a solid touchstone to cling to in the face of all the rumors swirling around the city, about the war all are expecting and the Dragon's place in it.

    OOC: Yes that bit at the end is Garin and Tyene's doing, part of an effort to make the freemen and slaves understand that this is not just 'another Braavosi war' that will leave them with nothing but under another name.

    The tally was set to the wrong starting point, so it counted the last vote too.

    My personal desire to distance myself a bit from the thread and my renewed commitments in other areas means that I'm not that likely to "submit a plan anyway".

    If you want cliff-notes, speak plainly to him. Ask him if he truly wants the unvarnished truth or rather stick to the comforting lie. If he picks truth, tell him about the Tyrells literally offering the Reach as a toy to the Fey, Lucan wanting to lead a crusade that would see Westeros turned into a buffet for Baator, the Illithid and the Others, and clowns like the Lannister patsies and the High Septon likely allying with these retards for their own politicking.

    Does making the whole shit-show crash and burn really sound like such a bad idea? At least the Faith Militant will have to fight among itself to establish what is orthodox before starting to torch down keeps and villages, and clowns like the Tyrells will not have an open invitation to sell their entire realm into memetic slavery for their own benefit.
     
    I just don't find intrigue enjoyable at all, so I tend not to participate that much for this part since my desires to be less noticeable are usually superseded.

    I will try to hit these notes when I get home then.
     
    Hey, i've been doing some idle research on interesting things we might be able to introduce or might pop up and i found something that i could truly see occuring.

    The manifestation of "Dragonmarks".

    They are supposedly related to some prophecy nobody can agree about. Literally every group argues on literally everything about it to the point it looks more like multiple prophecies people decided were all related for some reason.

    Anyway, i had a thought... Instead of it being some prophecy that nobody can agree on why not just have it be something we make?

    Having a way to grant power to a bloodline via the manifestation of dragonmarks would probably be a very big research task to make the ritual but it would let us grant our companions and those most loyal a definable gift that can be passed down through the ages and grant some incredible specialties.


    Imagine Ser Richard with the power to create walls of force.

    Imagine Waymar with the ability to boost his lightening even FURTHER.

    Imagine Garin with more shadow spells.


    And another good part is that the spells granted by dragonmarks count as spell like abilities and thus are not limited to spell slots and are limited to x times a day (or long rest). This allows characters and classes that normally would not use magic the ability to do so without having to take a class that can. Though they will be limited to what the dragonmark can provide.



    Just saw it and I wanted to share this since it would be pretty damn cool to see.

    Looks like Riz'Neth has his first customers for his port city.

    By the way, @DragonParadox, does he know what he wants on his Weirwood Heart Tree? It's probably going to be the first one grown on continental Sothoryos.

    It's good enough. Though I'd not mind more references to the Faith Militant itself as a danger, what with it being something most lords can agree they prefer gone.

    I'm going to revise my plan when I get home and have time. Hopefully @Crake will come up with a better alternative, though, as I'm not very good at intrigue.

    This particular situation just seems like we need to lay some truth on Baelor.
     
    The snack the smiles back~ Goldfish.


    That has been popping into my head everytime i see the word goldfish. Sorry, not sorry

    On that note, did we send Dany to tutor the Mannis' daughter on her dragon dreams?

    Also, I legit straight up missed this update.
