Maybe, but Cersei certainly won't go to Hell, so they are safe from her anyway.
Far to chaotic for that.
She'll probably end up being one of those incredibly rare individuals whose memories and personality remain intact after becoming an Outsider.

I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up as the bitchiest Dretch in the Abyss.
 
We voted for Argo to have that? Are you sure? I don't mind, it's actually a pretty cool idea, but I'm drawing a complete blank on that. Bad memory again? :oops:

Flight would be great for her, but we have other options: Fullplate(Mithral), Glammered Reinforced Segmented (+3).

We have a couple of these left from when Dany, Tyene, and Vee upgraded from Mithral to Adamantine. It doesn't have any DR, but it's got a nice Enhancement bonus and the Glammer special ability.

As for giving her a Valyrian Steel sword, I don't see the issue there. She doesn't know it used blood magic, after all. We don't really have any other acceptable enchanted weapons ready to give her, either, except for a +1 Adamantine Thinblade, and I'm opposed to giving that out. Military secrets and all, you know?

I can't remember. It was loot from a while back.
We have it to Argo, and if you ever want another dragon vassal we can raise the dragon it was made from without destroying the armor.
 
I could see Tywin retaining his memories as well, though he'd be in Hell instead of the Abyss.
Eh, maybe. He has a forceful personality, but he's not got that monomaniacal focus I would expect is necessary to keep one's individuality intact through being processed into Devilhood.
 
Do we want to leave their souls intact?

Perhaps boot them into the 7s afterlife?

They wont be coming back (god bless you stranger), and the 7 will have to deal with their bullshit forever!
They'll be irrelevant forever after they die. It doesn't matter where their souls go.
Eh, maybe. He has a forceful personality, but he's not got that monomaniacal focus I would expect is necessary to keep one's individuality intact through being processed into Devilhood.
I'd say he has a better chance than Cersei. The woman is insane.
 
So...
@TalonofAnathrax, @DragonParadox, with us now having "a way to teach Sandsahpers", do we, like, get that automatically in all Scholarums now?
I assume based on the fact that it's but a compiled batch of techniques and methods, in book form no less, so it should be "easily" applied in any educational facility, yes?

Why would he?

Is he one of the greatest heroes of villains among mortals?
Has he done great services to a Duke of Hell that shall be rewarded in death?
Has he a will of adamant so great that Hell's eternal torture could not rob him of his self as it does to all others?

I see no particular reason why Tywin would be anything more than Lemure #42215.

I want dozens. I looked through the class and I love it so much.

I kind of want to see if Arianne is interested in learning this brand of sorcery at some point. Her or any of the Sandvipers.

It's not that easy. Sand-Shaper is a PrC and the absolute earliest a Sorcerer could acquire it is 5th level, if they take the necessary feats and have the proper skill ranks.

The best bet would be to try to prepare some of the 2nd or 3rd level Sorcerers who are currently studying so that by the time they reach 4th level, they'll have everything needed to take it as their PrC at 5th level.

I think @TalonofAnathrax was going to put together a preliminary build for them? If not, I can do it.
 
Part MMCMXXXVIII: Just Maid's Tale
Just Maid's Tale

Ninth Day of the Tenth Month 293 AC

After leaving the Snare empty-handed, battle-blessings still flickering around you, you decide to make for Tarth to learn more of the youngest of the Chosen you have met face-to-face. Speaking with Stannis had given you some inkling of how Brienne of Tarth might be winning the favor of her god, and you had found it good, but you would rather know more before you visit Evenfall Hall again. So with Dany and Ser Richard at your side you make your way to the House of Mirrors to learn what the scryer's glass has shown over the last few days of seeking. Crossing the corridors in haste, you see a man staring fixedly ahead with the mark of spell-wrought blindness, and another greets you by babbling in tongues for the same reason, but both seem content enough with their lot. The House pays good hard coin that lasts far longer than magic's price, and longer lasting too are the answers you are given.

Behold the Maid who stands in Galladon's seeming in deed, no mere descent of blood
By truth were the Miser's spies found, by courage were they slain
In hope before zeal were judged the cursed as men and raised thus from the mud
Yet armor of steel could ward her not from treachery's true pain

Under the black moon did echoes into madness fade
Thus vowed the warrior to hunt the Speaker of the Stars
And in the choking mist a hunt of her was made
Boar and deer, wolf and bear, all bones defiled and spirits lost
Six rode out from Even's Rest and four paid the final cost

At last came she bold, knight of true heart and unblemished purpose
Into the the Hollow Hall, where red blood upon defiled stone was spilled
There the darkness tested her but in her soul could find not purchase
The Blade shone bright, the truth at last revealed, and over all the Warrior smiled

"The first bit is the imps, that's clear enough," Dany muses over the lines. "The last part is the mad septon who swore to the Cult of the Starry Wisdom, but all this in between is harder to guess, not for lack of options, but too many of them that would fit. The world does not lack for monsters..."

"True, but we are not doing this because we want an accounting of her kills truly, more a mirror of her character." You read the verses you had been given three times over, letting the words blur in your sight and the rhythm of each line flow into the next, calling on magic that is more than spells, on power you had found among Valyria's pyre. "She did some kindness where others counseled a hard heart and saved those who might otherwise have been lost, but the second time she offered the same she was betrayed by... madness somehow. Then it seems to say she was ambushed and most of those who rode beside her perished..."

"We won't be finding a little girl playing at being a knight, that is certain," Ser Richard concludes. "A good thing Tarth choose to see it as more a blessing than a curse. The world could do with more to stamp out fires where they can."

There are a few more lines in the report, drawn from Yss' forked tongue. Brienne no longer believes that all magic not of the Seven is wicked, but that does not mean she does not believe in wicked magic, that which disturbs the dead, enslaves the mind, and summons dark spirits foremost among it. Lastly you learn that she had been keeping you and Dany in her prayers, but otherwise paid little mind to news from the east, the contentions of kings and princes far from her thoughts.

So forewarned you come at last to the shores of Tarth unchanged since your last visit. The waves still sing upon the shores of the Sapphire Island, and proud mountains rise over shadowed vales. In the distance Evenfall Hall stands upon the shore, looking out over tilled fields and fishermen at their nets in equal measure.

How do you approach

[] Meet with Brienne first
-[] Write in

[] Meet with Selwyn Tarth first
-[] Write in

[] Speak to the smallfolk first to learn more of the happenings on Tarth
-[] Write in

OOC: I know this is a bit short, but I figured you guys would enjoy a break point here to tailor your approach.

Yes, you get it everywhere, though only the highest level students are eligible for it.

Made some edits to the chapter, DP.
 
I think we should meet with Selwyn first, ya'll. It's common courtesy to speak with the lord of the land before seeking out his young daughter.

How should we approach him, though? Just ask for a meeting, while disguised as merchants? It's a well worn method, but one that works well enough.
 
We should talk to the father. Ask what his darling little girl has been up to. Also send some people into the city to suss out any rumours about her as a person. After that we should approach the girl with all the information we have.
 
Im not interested in talking to that dude without a good reason to be here. Which means finding or manufacturing a supernatural threat to deal with.
 
Did the larger than usual divination work for you guys? Was it too much or too little information or did I get the balance right?
It was great, DP. I just don't want you to strain yourself writing divinitory poetry.

I would probably have an aneurysm trying to come up with a single verse, let alone three.
 
Ok, so. Put on some random disguise, speak with the smallfolk for a bit just to get general rumours.

How loyal is this House to the Crown?
Introduce self to the Lord privately as actually Viserys Targaryen with the rationale that;

a) Heard of brave deeds and wish to potentially offer assistance cleaning up.

b) Give gifts because anyone battling threats should be well equipped.

c) Have somewhat of a truce with the Seven, want to meet their chosen to understand such better.
