This one is on me not cleaning up the list of Adventure-locations properly, I didn't quite expect DP to copy-paste it outright.

And what Goldfish said. We don't really have any details to plan around now.

One would assume we'd go for a simultaneous strike on 3 main targets, cooperating (if possible) with Orange and Azure emps:
1) Spies in Yi-Ti.
A Companion or two and some minions + what Azure hands us.

2) Shadow Fortress and it's full bullshit.
Companions.

3) Golden Company.
Orange's ritual apparently is least dangerous to the Worm, but everyone else may want to steer clear of it.
And we also have lots of high-cr murderblenders and the Moonchaser.

Eh, unless they are particularly dangerous spies I'll happily leave that to the locals.
If the GC doesn't exist as a Mercenary Company anymore, most spies will quickly jump off.

Problem: high-level spies of Tiamat are, in fact, Outsiders and/or Clerics from what we've seen.

We want her influence diminished efficiently?
We kinda have to make sure Crake's Boi deals with them all throughly.
...That we'd get a lot of good PR with him in the process is important too, I suppose. :V
 
Mah Boi also has a vested interest in terminating infiltrators in his realm, so us working together helps our diplomatic relations.

Okay, but the whole point of high-level spies is that we can't see them ;)

More seriously, our many detection methods which work against magic-using spies are far less effective against Varys-style spies with the right PrCs, so if they exist they're rare and we may well simply not have found one yet.
 
I just wanted to ask is there any plans to check up on these in the next month or so?

[] The Fist of Giants: Many months have passed since you learned of Giants gathering beyond the Wall - seemingly seeking leadership, and escape from coming Winter. Having seemingly found former by now, you may just offer them the latter. Visit the Giants with a diplomatic mission.

[] The Last of Frost Untainted: When torn away from the clutches of Others, Rina connected to something -- a focus, or perhaps even a source of her powers, if the comparisons you can draw to other forms of magi are correct -- yet said something was far, far in the reaches of the North - where even you couldn't dare to casually walk then. Now, with far more power at your side, and knowledge that sooner or later the taint of Others will get to where it lies - you shall recover it before it's too late.
(Opposition: ??; Rewards: Something Rina's connected to, apparently not an Eidolon as per DP's PMs with Takesis)

If dealing with Timmie goes fine, it may end up happening in the 1st to 2nd months.
Rina's PRC is almost finished and it would be thematic to go do the latter, if nothing else.

We'd have... a lot of "loose ends" to cut off before starting war with Deep Ones, if we can fit such in.
Char-Serpents in PoF. Ghis and it's Devils. Quohor and it's Fleshforge (and maybe Eldritch Evils). Sarnori Undead (whose leaders kinda have to die sooner rather than later... the second death, that is)... etc.

Lots of shit that can explode at an inconvenient moment otherwise.
Rina's "not-eidolon" is one such thing, we very much don't want Others lucking out on a roll and grabbing it, or something.
 
Any preferences for the second interlude today guys? We are done with all the actions for last month and I would rather not roll any important background dice until the plan is finalized so that just leaves stuff you might want to see.
 
...You could give us the numbers on Faceless Men?
The price (gold/DC) for Ointment of Unlight, that @Goldfish needed?

It isn't urgent, tho, so if any better interlude-ideas pop up...

I wouldn't complain about a Scholarium interlude, maybe from Teana's POV as she introduces the new Raelis Azata instructor to the Shadow Tower?

That PoV from Kevan would be great.

Specifically in regards to coin scarcity, and related stuff.
 
How about another Yi-Ti interlude? How is our infiltration going?

Or just some Viserys & Co slice of life. How is Lya being received by the court?

Maybe Maelor's City of Brass report?

We have a guild-mage that owes us his life, let's see what we got out of him besides the story of his protege.

Excellent work Crake! I really liked the ceremony with Richard, best knight deserves all the honours (especially since he did not more lands and titles).

Is there a website or program you can use to help make character sheets? I'm thinking of actually drafting a few fleshforge proposals.

I sometimes use the Monster Builder from the PFSRD site, at least for a start. Lots of times I just grab a previously made sheet to use as a template, then change it as needed. There are a lot of sheets used in the quest which are available as a framework.

I usually work with templates you've already made and write over it with mostly the same structure. That isn't very fast though.

It was a collaborative effort from multiple parties, mind.

Off the top of my head, thank @Goldfish and @TalonofAnathrax for some contributions towards our propaganda and @egoo for tracking actions and characters.
 
@Crake, does the new Azata Raelis teacher whose name I cannot recall need to be added to the Education eecrion of the plan? He's a pretty significant asset, so I'm hoping he'll make an impact.
