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

Damn, this is a tough choice. Silas could be a huge help, but he may also balk at what we're asking him to do. He may not even be able to help due to magically binding oaths to protect the secrets of the Wallmakers.

It's not her specialty, but I wonder how well Melisandre could deal with the wards? Assuming they're Fire-based in some manner, at least.

I'm not sure if we have anyone who's explicitly an expert in Wards, it seems like a discipline any sufficiently knowledgable mage would be able to take a good crack at though?

Like for example Viserys could definitely lay down some serious wards himself, either through rituals or via spell effects. He's probably an expert if not a specialist by this point.
 
Could we Rez the mage who found that exploit?

He seemed competent and he'd propably know where the leak in the Efreeti's security came from.

If we stormed the Kyton hideout we certainly secured his corpse too, right?

Melisandre and Benerro would be a good combo in that case. Both should be fairly skilled in fire-based wards.
 
[X] Keep it secret for now. We will consider bringing Silas in on the secret should other options fail.
-[X] First attempt to Resurrect Agha so that he can share a more complete version of the ward-break with us, along with any other relevant information. We can pay him well for the information, in addition to restoring his life.
-[X] Research the feasibility of trying to bring in other mages knowledgeable in the construction or removal of wards who might be able to exploit the passage. This would involve trying to learn more of the Wallmakers, the magic they wield, and any idiosyncrasies of the wards themselves.

@egoo, @Goldfish, here my proposal for Mold deployments for our current Undead forces:

Base costs:
- Greater Blood Clot Mold - 28,800 IM
- Blood Clot Mold - 4,800 IM
- Necrotic Mold - 450 IM

Iron Isles Force:
- 2x Greater Blood Clot Mold - 2x for Necro-Kraken
- 5x Blood Clot Mold - 3x for Swarmhost Titanoboas, 2x for Greater Bloodsharks
- 22x Necrotic Mold - 6x for Swarmhost Hetkoshou, 16x for Bloodshark, 8x for Snatching Terrors
Total: 91,500 IM

With Dimension Door, the Necro-Kraken is becoming stupendously deadly and makes for a great chassis to help immobilize, say, an Ulitharid, and to have the Mold take it over. We could also start snatching up interesting fleshforging experiments that way.

Gogossos Defense Force:
- 7x Blood Clot Mold - 5x for Black Champions, 2x for Necro-Kraken
- 15x Necrotic Mold - 10x for Snatching Terrors, 5x for Black Brutes
Total: 40,350 IM

With the Fleshcrafters and all the other horrors lurking within the facility there's less of a need for high-power casters here, so focusing on providing officer equivalents for the undead forces with some spellcasting.

Deep One Preparations:
- 5x Greater Blood Clot Mold - 5x for Necro-Kraken
- 10x Blood Clot Mold - 10x for Black Brutes (aquatic)
Total: 192,000 IM

More teleporting murder Kraken! And officers.
