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

I personally think we need to begin an actual offensive instead of only going after neutrals and mitigating CoS moves.

Our newest recruit implied that large swathes of the Crimson court are unhappy with the current leadership and only kept in line by the debts that bin them. This sounds like a good opening to loot the entire colour.

I said it before, we should loot the Lord of the Crimson Court.

Of course this particular Knight might serve under a lesser Lord of the Crimson Blade.

I certainly wont argue against such an action.

But I would appreciate a write-up in the same-ish style as the rest of the actions, to slot in into the turn-plan, @Azel.
I myself have no idea how to go about this, and the phrasing of the action affects at least several updates every time we do any.

Also, how did the getting metal-clad templates from DP go? Should I know be adding that as a research option? @Azel

Also, a small write up of... whatever's Qyburn is going to research about the Other!Undead would be appreciated, I have literally no idea what's the starting point and the end goal of his are, and, well, you seem to. @Azel

Let's wait for the war-council before finalizing actions.

There are already research options for that. DP ruled that we can buy the necessary lore for Metal-Clad, except the VS variant.

We also got Advanced template done by taking Gogossos, so that action is done too.

Huh?
Wait, no, we already can research that, and we have a few warriors we looted from Risen Nine who agreed to be the subjects, iirc.

I vaguely remember you saying that Quburn would've liked to move with his anti-Other research by looking at bodies/specimens of Other!powered Undead?

Azel said:

Buy it where, btw?
If that's Opaline Vault/Armun Kelisk/Vialesk/Gith, we need to retroactively put that into this month's order... Disorganized as it was.

Fair enough, but I think that we can all agree that we'll be visiting non-CoS courts regardless.

The idea always was that Other specimen give progress bonuses for his work.

Opaline Vault. It was put in and kept getting forgotten.

Huh. Alright then, grabbing them is a bit of lesser priority then*.
Guess the minions will focus on Fey and wildlife tainted by Others instead.

*since we can finish the research easily enough by ourselves next month.

Aight, so..?
[] Evacuating Thenns (via Moonchaser),
[] Clearing out all the barrows near the Thennlands (largely via Minions),
[] Viserys and Co dealing with Fey!courts of:
-[] Depths (with help of Ferryman's),
-[] Goldengrove (we'd have to take Rhaella-driad with us for familiarity),
-[] Wilds (OGs already largely settled that for us, iirc).
[] Viserys also meeting with the Giants past the Wall, I believe they have largely settled their "diplomacy", and with Thenns going...
[] Some Companions grabbing lots of Winter-touched Undead and Fae for Qyburn and Djinn to research respectively.
[] A large group of Companions focused on dealing with Asmodeus' plots in Slavers' Bay.
[] Any adventures not yet finished this month.

Seems fairly sensible line-up so far, aside from the fact that I'm not sure how much more we even can throw at Slavers' Bay without effectively invading.
The last few months we've gradually increased our presence to the "could take a CR 20 encounter"-battlegroup there, with little to no progress :/

also check if the beastmaster is still alive while we are out beyond the wall so that doesn't keep bugging me

Well, he has the specimen from Bolton anyway.

Never the less. Grab everything there is and sort it out later.

There was little support for all-Winter-based month-plan, and I'm somewhat reluctant to put it forward as an action beyond a MA to Divine him.

Otherwise, that'd need a fair amount of power dedicated to it regardless, being Beyond the Wall and all.

We'll see if we have any people to assign to adventures at all, between the Fey, Slavers' Bay, and a need to evacuate Thenns (and clean out barrows there as such) we might just not.

That's fair.

We voted to look for information on the Metal-Clad template when we placed our last order in the Opaline Vault, but nothing came of it. I'm not sure if we weren't successful or @DragonParadox forgot about it.

He forgot about it. We were successful though.

I've pestered him about that by PM and it was supposed to come up when talking to the Gith instead.

Sweet. Which metal-clad templates can we now use in our Forges?
