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

Reader mode
If Rina got a Court I always thought in the direction of "Queen of Air and Darkness", not "Queen of Salt and Swamp".

[X] Try to get the fey to swear to a local lord of their own kind and them to the crown

There must be some fey with a modicum of power and sense that we can let rule the area.
 
Oh goodie, a local election for a position of significant political power? Bring out the bribes please and prepare your speech on what not the Empire can do for you, but what you can do for the Empire.
 
@egoo it kind of makes sense to know progress sometimes. It's the difference between knowing what you don't know and not knowing what you don't know. Familiarity with the subject matter and the ability to make an educated guess basically.

Rina can do better for her first court members.
 
Question: do we want to try and finish this one next month?

@everyone?

I believe we can assign Verdant Phoenixes in significant number to this, as well as lots of low-lvl miscellaneous characteris.
 
I wonder if Ser Dregaire could make any recommendations for potential Fey who might make good candidates for Lord of the Swamp Court?

Verdant Phoenixes in a swamp would probably cause more issues than they could solve, since their wild growth aura is indiscriminate. Besides, we voted to have them fix Orange Shore and green up the uninhabited Stepstones island for all the refugees we're relocating there.

This feels really smooth, kudos. The part I enjoyed most was seeing what effect, mechanically, assigning the lower-level minions to the action had. It was always a little unclear to me what effect those sorts of assignments actually had, beyond giving you something to work with narratively. This feels much more clear.

Speed enough to keep up with the patrol without slowing them down, but nothing special. Damage would be nice, of course, but the patrol isn't exactly lacking there.

The patrols would have a fairly large range and couldn't be expected to come back in for resupply very often, so being beefy and self-healing would be ideal. Swarms of weaker Undead could be useful, though the many Sunburst SLAs each patrol would have available from the large number of Plant-Imbued might make friendly fire incidents more common if the swarms are expected to engage targets at range.

Looking over Qyburn's menu of available Undead, the Bloodsharks look like a good candidate, IMO. Fast, tough, solid damage, and they have Fast Healing, so not overly reliant on outside support. We could put have a Necrotic Mold pilot in each one of them for added reliability. The Molds wouldn't cost anything if we use corpse HD to pay for them and the Bloodsharks are quite reasonably priced. 40 of them per patrol wouldn't be too much of an investment.

Seals are a good baseline for aquatic undead.

@DragonParadox, how many Great White Sharks, Megalodons, Seals and Titanoboas did we collect over the last few months?

Lets see how well Rina can get her own followers.
 
@Azel. @DragonParadox.
I believe this "did we get the bodies?"-system to be arbitrary.
Much as my system for summoning, with HD-ceilings and all, has been.

Just set a low (they are rare after all) number we can make every month, and assume we are using some Divination to look for such creatures in the background, who are then murdered by our countless (compared to before) aquatic forces, or Tritons.

Fair enough, less busy-work involved.

Any suggestions there?

Well, shit, I dont know.
I'm not even sure what CR the creatures are expected to be, off the top of my head.

If we count by brackets, "5 CR 15, 15 CR 10, 50 CR 5 monthly" seems like a reasonable amount if we background the hunting for them completely.

But, that's just me. I think you and DP should discuss it instead.
 
Time for another piece of Goldfish recommended reading.

If any of y'all are interested in the LitRPG genre, you might want to check out Dungeon Crawler Carl. Once you get past the existential horror of civilization being wiped from the face of the Earth in an instant and the tiny fraction of surviving Humans being forced to compete in a murderous reality show that is broadcast to untold trillions of eager viewers throughout the universe, this story becomes quite entertaining. The background horror never quite goes away, of course, as the remaining population of Earth plummets in the days and weeks that follow.

If you thought reality TV on Earth was bad, you haven't seen anything yet.
 
So list by CR
  1. A seal is CR 1/3 you can get practically arbitrary numbers of these 1000/month without even trying
  2. Great White is CR 4: dangerous, but should be pretty easy to fish for most people who come prepared, call it 50/month, just because it is and apex predator and thus rare
  3. A Megalodon is CR 9, you need to be on a solid ship have nerves of steel and good equipment to catch one, magic would not hurt 10/month naturally and you can specifically pay people to get more
  4. A Titanoboa is CR 13, this thing eats dinosaurs for breakfast and is considered decent prey by an Erinyes out hunting in the jungle 5/month
Does this look fair?

Can we get that retroactive for the last two months? That should be around the last time we made animals into undead.

Hey when was the last time we went with one of the options DragonParadox offered us instead of make up a plan of our own?
