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

The rat swarms shouldn't be that big of a deal, they should last about 4 rounds around our banners thanks to celestial brilliance (assuming 2 overlapping fields everywhere the legion is), without the legion doing anything. Unless they got a huge boost, those rat swarms are going to melt.

And with that, all that Golden Company has ever achieved is ash.
Feels nice.

Not exactly. There were more than a few lower level clerics that managed to escape. Give it a few years and they'll level. Not enough to threaten us, but enough to be threatening nonetheless.

Yeah, the teleporting enemy is a much more annoying problem.

Did we ever get that last nightmare dragon they had? There is also the mind blanked red dragon that went to the Effreti. And as Duesal mentioned, there were a few low level clerics that escaped.

*proceeds to continue ignoring the fact we have left some enemies unkilled really hard*

Nightmare Dragons... I think? Wait, no, we got it. We used the corpses of the two Ancient Nightmare Dragons and the Shadow Dragons we managed to kill and mixed their essence with that of Fey and Kytons to make the first Myrkdreki. Worked like a charm. Myrkdreki are excellent minions.

The Mature Adult Shadow Dragon Warlock definitely escaped. And Lizzirth the Red Dragon brilliantly went to the Efreeti instead of surrendering, though her brother came to us.
 
I'm not sure if we've already done this but, have we started on emergency preparedness procedures for SD? Just having a few members within the Lawmen trained in crowd control could save a lot of in the inevitable case of another direct attack on the city.

I would also suggest bunkers or at least hardened shelters for civilian use in the case of an emergency.

I've been wanting to design state of the art apocalypse-proof bunkers for a while now. Maybe with Imperial Steel coating to keep out ghosts, runic warding, stocked with food and water, etc etc. We can space them throughout the city.

Also @Goldfish, I trust you to kill everything.

It would be most cost effective to use Sign of Sealing if your intent is just to block out ghosts.

@DragonParadox, can we use Summon spells to Summon Positive Energy Elememtals?

I'm going to say there are no positive energy elementals, D&D has this weird tendency to make elementals out of anything. There is probably a custard pie elemental in some third party book, but I would like to keep them to things that actually are well elemental to physical reality, positive energy isn't that, it is a way of interacting with life and undeath.

There is a Positive Energy Plane though?
Does it not have these kinds of natural manifestation as most planes have?
 
I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with the best way to handle this, y'all. The Undead are too intermixed with our own forces to use mass AoE bombardment. Even though Sunburst does significantly less damage against the living that the Undead, it's still too much to subject our people too, not to mention the indiscriminate blindness it causes.

I think our best bet here will be to set off several of our single-use Blinding Glory charms to engulf everyone on the front, enemy and ally alike. We can use Mage's Decree to warm our troops that many of them will be temporarily struck blind (statistically as many as 1/3), but that all enemies should be affected.

They can than less that affected fellows away from the fighting, attack the Undead with impunity, and we'll be better able to use large-scale AoEs.

DP, we tried to summon some past month... or the one before it, don't remember precisely rn.

They didn't like it on Plane of Balance, and decided not to stay, but we had seen them in-story, if only as a line-long glance.

Imma hunt down a quote in a few minutes.
I dknt mind the new ruling, but I'd like you to edit that old line out then.

You did? Damn, I would have preferred not to have them, but I'm not going to retcon them

Attempts by both you and Lya to summon the embodiment of life and vitality had gone even more poorly. Every one of them found the world of form a dark and lonely place where the power they held the most kinship to was locked in a prison of flesh which they had no interest in sustaining by aiding the Houses of Healing.

@DragonParadox, there is next to nothing to have to retcon.
Just this one paragraph.

I'm totally okay if you choose to retcon stuff, and I'm sure many others are.
You are far too careful with not doing that, considering just how long the quest is at this point, imo.
 
@DragonParadox If you were rushed one day and didn't think too hard on setting implications before backhandedly responding to one player write-in, then later rule against it... go back and retcon.
 
If there are no objections I really would like to retcon that in the interest of making the positive and negative energy planes feel special and not just like reskinned elemental planes
