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

Reader mode
I know we took a tiny little bite of land farther west, above Ifequevron.

Latter on, depending on how livable the area is, we might want to expand there, or move yet more of our work that way.

I mean not now, but it is a good muster point, and give Sallosh a path for expansion. Bonus points if we find kin to the children of the forest there.

Edit: wait, when did we take Norvos? I just saw the political map.
 
Ironically no mention of simply convincing them this is a foolish plan. It struck a cbord with that one knight, it may with others.

Now... something important was mentioned. They were forgotten.

Assuming strictly pragmatic or noble intentions on the part of a foe is foolhardy. While some seek to bring the wild to live better among men.

I bet more than one mind has thought "let us see them forget this".

Oh, and also power grabbing. Of course.

If we can drive a wedge between those who want power, those who want power all to themselves, and those who just want to thrive in a strange new world...

It's not really a reason for us to not take her if we feel like her presence might be of use, imo.
"Doesn't like" =/= "Can't", and I'm sure she'll understand the urgency well enough.

But whatever, I'm not too attached to that.

Er, I'm pretty sure DP said before that they can do month-long stuff from time to time?
I'm not saying to keep them on the action the way Maelor is at his, but they both are of great enough proficiency and use for us not to

You placed Melisandre both here and with the Fey.

My bad there. But tbh, I'm not quite sure where she's best to go :/
I guess the Fey... those are a bit more urgent. And i'd lie if I'm not swayed by her option stated a chapter ago.
 
@DragonParadox, will you allow for us to spend several days' of Viserys-time to Greater Teleport the entire Yi-Ti expedition back to our territories?
RaW-wise he can lift ships we sent there well enough (even overloaded with bling), and people can be Gated with no trouble at our level.

I'm highly against the idea of having them go back the way they came.
Too dangerous, too much bling to lose.
 
I hope that all our other enemies don't use this event to dogpile us after we are commited.

We already poked to see where the Ifquevron were, and any survivors are hiding in the Feywild, not Prime Material.

Sure, if that's how you guys want to do it I'll allow it. Best to keep it to a one time thing though. His time and spell-slots are rather valuable to burn on carrying ships around on a constant basis.
 
Keep the trade fleet docked in Yi Ti for another month if you have to pull expedition forces. They're relatively safe there.

And then we'll have Deep Ones to war against.
And then something else.

At this point, I will argue against anything but the high-magic extraction of the fleet's combined wealth.
It is just too costly to loose, and too difficult to comprehensively guard when we have shitholes like CoS appearing at random, and illithids being the shitgoblins they are.

Just have the Moonchaser fly with her two sister ships. That both ensures we can grab everything in one trip and it means that the firepower of that group is firmly in the 'Ludicrous' category.

Here's what I have.
Very rough estimation, but still focuses us on Slavers' Bay and Fey as the main parts of the month, with "grab the Thenns out" being a thing by the end.

@Azel, @Crake, is the below good enough for the purposes of dealing with the Lords as necessary?
I don't joke, I have no fucking idea on what/how you guys want to be done about these guys, and only slightly more understanding on what's our plans about CoS-Fey so far. I largely had to assign people by ear and Diplo scores :/

[] Teams that will investigate the effects of the pacts that already exist, find out where the rituals where enacted and how they are tied together ().
--- Vee, Orphne Lord, Riz'Neth, Melisande, Lya ? (depends on which RAs we haven't completed this month yet), 1 Mind-Dragon, Siduri of Dis (Wizard 12, Enchanter), Dirriz Bluecloak (Faerie Dragon Racial HD 3/Oracle 6), Mia/Anya/Shara the Inquisitors, Azema

Of these, Riz'Neth, Azema, and Siduri definitely do not need to be included for to their nature as Outsiders, or for the snake dude, his other obligations. Vee could be helpful, but I don't think it really suits her. Melisandre doesn't make much sense here and is surely better places elsewhere.

This task would be better carried out by those I mentioned in my previous post, though Dirriz and the Orphne Lord could also be good options. Glyra, too.

[] Teams to contact those lords who rejected deals to ally.
--- Rhaella, Dany, 1 Mind-Dragon, Sandor Clegane,

The Seeker is pretty much Rhaella's new bodyguard. It goes where she goes.
[] Teams to negotiate with any lord who is being offered a pact right now or will soon be offered one to stop further pacts ().
--- Tyene, Rina, Kira Windgraced, Lya,
Click to expand...

Poorly balanced group. No point including Lya, needs melee, such as Waymar.
[] Deal with Fey Courts of:
-[] Gooldengrove (the one where there's a Driad-queen guarding a Feywild entrance)
--- Viserys, Sir Richard, Rhaella-ship's Driad, Soft Strider,
-[] Depths (asking for assistance from Merling King to smoothen things out and introduce us well).
--- Viserys, Sir Richard, the Breath Taker, Diana the Sea Sprite,
-[] Green (asking for assistance from Bloodraven to introduce us well)
--- Viserys, Sir Richard, Soft Strider
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Action economy is a thing and these groups are too lopsided to offset it. Would include Rina, along with a Mind Dragon, at least.
[] By the end of the month, evacuate the Thenns (via the Moonchaser)
--- Moonsong, also whoever's free to ensure the transport's safety at that point
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
We'll have three Moonchasers in action next month.
[] Clear out the remaining barrows in the Thennlands.
--- Velen the Phoenix-birb, Tor the Shadow, Bloom the Brijidine, Xor, Alyssa Crowl (Ranger 13), Danar Crowl (Bard 6/Lyric Thaumaturge 7), Koron Redmane (Fighter 6/Barbarian 3), Valaena Velaryon (Magus 9), Ser Denys Trainer, Chun Ting Lo, Argo the Cunning Bull, Ser Criston Storm, Ceria "Storm", Mors 'Crowfood' Umber, Ser Bonifer Hasty, Ser Gerold 'Darkstar' Dayne, Yrael,

Barrows in the Thennlands aren't pushovers like most of them further south. Remember the high level Mythic Wight we encountered there? This group isn't even close to suitable for that long of potential threat.
[] A task-group dedicated to managing the situation in Slavers' Bay.
--- Amrelath, Melisande, Garin, Malarys, Zherys, Waymar, Teana, Mereth (give her a Mindblank for the duration of taking part), 2 Mind Dragons, 1 Harbringer, Thoros of Myr (Paladin 10), Morwyn & Tuin - the drow assassins, Kennos of Kayce (Fighter 3/Paladin 7), Benerro (level 15+ cleric), Mercy of the Soul, Lady Saenena, The Seeker, 1x Umbral Stalker, Nuri

It's one thing to tap Zherys and Benerro for a short action like a battle, it's another thing entirely for a days or weeks long mission.

Just trying to help, dude. It's tough trying to make sure we have the right people in the right place at the right time.

Yeah, and I appreciate the help, too.

It is just it is kinda fucking daunting, and I'm not in the best headspace.

Also we have a fuckload of actions without resolutions this month still, which make planning a bother.
@DragonParadox, some sentence-long Progress reports would be nice.

...can we go back to relaxing and enjoying? Destress for a week before dropping everything and go for all out war?

Founding Week is coming people! Would be a tad sad if we miss Sorcerer's Deep's 2nd year anniversary, won't we?

Also, does anyone have a link to the posts where we conquer Lys? I have been looking for them.
