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

Reader mode
what forces do we still have in reserve btw becouse i think it's time to call in the cav except the worm which will be the surprise extra cav
 
All right. We need to go fuck up their shit and then proceed to steal it.

@Goldfish a worthy opponent stands before you. Kick their ass. Also Jon Connington you dense mother fucker I am going to enjoy extracting everything from your corpse.
 
Ser Richard and Sandor can hopefully kill Ashara, which will have Blackfyre off balance. With Connington he seems to be in berserk mode, but hopefully the Seeker can chip away at him enough that Viserys is freed for casting again.

With Blackfyre I'm not really sure how to deal with him since almost everything we tried thus far was thwarted.

So we capturing them or just Faegon? Personally think it should be all of them. In case they have backup plans to return to the living that we aren't aware of. If they are this prepared then we gotta assume they have a plan in case they die.

Only the Blackfyre is going to be captured. Attempting to capture enemies is much harder and much more dangerous than just trying to kill them, and this fight is uncomfortably high level as it is.

That being said... if the Tiamat Avatar is on its way, we don't actually need to capture f!Aegon. He was only ever going to be a focal point for the ritual to use against Tiamat. We don't need him when the real deal is showing up to the party.

Considering capturing the little cuss will give us an avenue to quite literally rip a chunk out of their god they're going to be losing a lot more than just their lives if we can pull this off.

I honestly expect the Bitch to pull her power from her clerics and or other agents just to try and staunch the wound.

I might be overestimating this but from what it sounds like the Well is the deitific equivalent of stealing her spleen and eating it in front of her.

Valor of the Damned ​

Thirteenth Day of the Twelfth Month 293 AC

The ritual, the priests, all of them matter little if you can capture Aegon, lesser mages and lesser in the mind of the mother of Dragons than the boy who would be king. You spin an unraveling seeking to strip them of wards and blessings, but to your surprise you feel magic slipping between your fingers, siphoned off by some inescapable pull. Aegon's expression shifts into a cold smile. An enchantment like that upon your ring...

Lya's attempt to conjure tendrils of shadow to engulf the whole temple is met with the same guard, this time from Ashara, to judge from the way the tip of her sword sweeps out of perfect form for an instant as she charges with a cry of, "For the true King!" Bolt upon bolt of twisting arcane acid arcs out from Teana's hands and Soallae's twisting barbed tail, but upon her cloak shine jewels of every color like stars in the night sky, and she seems to flicker from existence just as the drakes had one, only it seems a reflex that in no way blunts her charge towards Lya... or at least it would have been towards Lya, if Ser Richard did not step into her path.

Dragon steel rings against dragon steel, the voice of blood and battle, though its voice is lost as as you fill the air with a roar to strike fear into foes and embolden allies. Even so, neither of the two is able able to over come the other's guard. The Dornish woman seems more surpised than worried despite the trickle of blood flowing from her ear and down the side of her face from the force of the spell. Ser Richard gives away nothing but a small grunt of effort and motions to Sandor to help.

A knight might have hesitated in striking a noblewoman, particularly one who had once been so celebrated as Ashara Dayne. Sandor Clegane is no knight, however, taking advantage of her distraction with sword in one hand and a handful of dust in the other to cast into her eyes.

"Ashara!" Aegon calls out in denial, reaching out to the power in his blood to the dark godless whose presence is so near. Motioning with Blackfyre itself, its tip pointed squarely at Ser Richard, he seeks to draw the knight's soul into the blade, but Dany was ready for him, slipping her own words amid the spell until it shatters stillborn.

You could do with more time, and so as you had done so many times before, you grip the roiling currents of time expecting the world to slow around you.

Pain stabs behind your eyes as though someone had driven a ghostly dagger though your skull. There is is no blood, no lasting harm, but you cannot quite remember the spell. It is only then that you see the shard of dragonglass floating in Old Griff's hand, beautiful and deadly, magic without spellcraft, only will and skill built layer upon careful layer. Then Jon Connington, your brother's dearest friend whose indulgent absentminded smiles you dimly recall from childhood, attacks. "I won't let you take his throne, Rhaegar's throne, you bastard! I won't let you have him!"

While his words may be feverish and barely coherent, there is nothing wrong with the man's swordsmanship. Your cloak flares around you, seeking to snatch the sword from his grip with each blow, but he holds it fast, the steel drawing hot blood across the side of your head. So it would bleed into your eyes, some small analytical part of you notes.

You take 44 Damage

The Seeker moves with dreadful insect-like grace, a fused blade carving between the plates of Connington's armor under his left arm. The man barely seems to notice or care, save for how it throws one of his own swings off balance so intent upon killing you.

What do you do next?

f!Aegon was our contingency plan if Tiamat didn't show up.

But she's on her way as we speak. We can sick the giant worm on her and use her directly as a focal point for the attack.
 
wasn't there a plan to use the unravaling on f!aegon i can't really recall but i kinda remember that happening but idk
but is this the point we call in team snake or did i miss them coming somewhere else

Either on Aegon or on Tiamat's avatar...but judging by Tiamat's rather upcoming entrance it is safe to assume that we can use it on the latter.

F!Aegon is generally not worth "saving" unless it is completely incidental and doesn't diminish the returns from putting the Well of Eternity on him and sucking Tiamat's power into it.

Whether we want to save him at all even excluding the above, is up to debate.

Speaking about Unravelling though, @DragonParadox, what'd be it's general interaction with a construct completely of Divine power?
Say, we throw it at an Outsider or... and Avatar :drevil:...
Will it essentially act as a huge-ass C4 to their face?
 
This isn't bad, ya'll. Aegon and Ashara are both Clerics, meaning neither one of them has much depth in their power. That Sacramental Seal Aegon just used? It's gone. Them Counterspelling our spells? Those items are expended for the day. Connington's counter-item which negated the Time Stop? That's gone, too.

@DragonParadox, now that Ashara and Aegon are engaged in combat, has the ritual controlling our Fiery Dragonbeasts been disrupted? Or is it still in effect?

no that was the well of eternity we got an extra unravaling and i think it was meant for f!aegon after the well was used but i don't remember

If he's worth it, but from what I've seen the answer is most likely no. We've only got one Unraveling. It was never earmarked for f!Aegon, it was just considered as a potential use.

Mhm, not unless the Worm holds her really tight, and it may just fail.
We better still grab F!Aegon just in case, imo.

Perhaps. May as well have the contingency in our pocket.
 
@DragonParadox, a moment. The Seeker did not deliver Retaliatory Strikes for the attacks JonCon made on Viserys?

JonCon should be quite a bit fucked up.

Unfortunately not, it works based on will, it's a thing of craft and trickery not force

It's still in effect, though mind there are a bunch of chanting priests behind them.

"Just in case", basically.

If one of our Companions gets grabbed by Hells or Timmie's Avatar here...
Well, half of a Companion is better than none of a Companion, eh? :V

Well, that's just sad.
*puts the C4 Breaching-memes back into their folder*
 
I hope if Ashara pulls some "so does it take two grown man to kill a single woman", it's Ser Richard that actually lands the killing blow before immediately going after the next target, only sparing enough time to make sure she's dead.
