In most places I'd think so too, but he is a god of Fire and this is the Plane of Fire. Might be close enough to his metaphysical home that he actually can manifest at decent strenght without expanding too much power?
If it's a single battle, namely the opening assault to bring down the walls, that's doable. I'm fairly sure we're not getting a shot at Ymeri herself simply thanks to how long this is expected to take, but with this we should be able to contribute enough to bargain with R'hllor for the fealty of the fire fey to be transferred to us.
Either we give token support (I'm not sending Mel away with a big fat "nothing". She's worth more than that to us), or we give real support, but we are going to do something about this for the next turn vote.
No, mechanically, it is not.
Definitely not drop what we're doing, considering that's a double conquest, but I do want the chance to shank that bitch. That said I'm not counting on it, so the next best thing is contributing enough to bargain with R'hllor for the fire fey.
It's what we did this turn. It's how we had companions in Slaver's Bay and Sarnor simultaneously. They just teleport in for the battles while working on other things.
Well, we are in disagreement, then.
She nearly destroyed Volantis like... twice. She was persistent.
No, that's because Richard, Mereth and Viserys had no action assigned for the turn. With Sarnor being Free Action, they could join in SB.
It would be OOC for Viserys not to offer aid against Ymeri. We have history with her, including eating her Herald. Zherys and Teana would probably also like to have an opportunity to take part in the assault, considering Ymeri's recent history with Volantis, not to mention temporarily snagging a piece of the latter's soul.
You're right, progress on whatever research actions they have this turn would probably have a penalty, but this particular month is mostly just battles.
Depending on how it shakes out we can show up at the beginning of the month for an opening assault on Ymeri, spend a few days there, and then the rest of the month spent stamping out the abominations in Qohor while crushing Norvos under our heel. We don't really need to split our forces here. The ones that could even survive participating against Ymeri are easy enough to move back home en mass in time for Shub Niggurath.
You misunderstand.
Not particularly, no, but consider this -- participating in this assault and potentially getting a bunch of Fire Fey would probably make fighting the Court of Stars easier on us. Additional XP for our champions, a lot of minions, etc. Hell, we can even bargain with R'hllor to back us in our coming war against the fey if we give him a good enough sacrifice. I certainly won't say no to divine fire backing our attack and smiting the Court of Stars.
Is that going to directly affect the Progress on all other actions taken during the month?
Conquering Qohor is less in the way of Progress Points and more in the way of killing everything in sight in the midst of a grand assault. What kind of penalties are you expecting here?
Misunderstanding here again?
