@egoo, would you kindly add?

[] Divination questions about the wards of Casterly Rock:
-[] Would an alarm be triggered if a creature burrows within the wards, but does not cross the ward boundaries?
-[] Are there any detection methods tuned to specific creatures, such as undead, abberations, devils and so on?
-[] Are there patrols by Xorn, Shaitan or other extraplanar mercenaries, especially some kind that can Earthglide?
-[] Are there any portals that the Lannisters are not guarding?
-[] Are there any dangers in the area that are not Lannister aligned?
-[] Do the Lannisters have a comprehensive map of the tunnels?
-[] Are there any checkpoints or other features that would impede an infiltrator once he entered the area?
-[] Are there more exits to the surface then those leading into Casterly Rock?
-[] Would the wards detect Necrotic Molds or hinder them from communicating with each other?
Getting a rough idea of how far the wards extend, especially below the surface, would also be helpful.
 
Hold that thought. Coul Qyburn's braineater shit be useful here?

Edit: Can we make a BrainEater?
Bookifying her would be more efficient since then you don't need to occupy Qyburns time with writing her knowledge down. The only time where it would be useful for him to devour someones brain would be for other Abberrations, like Illithid, Aboleths or Beholders, since those books would otherwise drive you crazy. That is, if you can figure out something that is shaped like a flower pot, smells of decayed whale and keeps screaming when you try to turn it's "pages".
 
Speaking of bookifying we should commission a greater metamagic reach rod for Viserys. A big weakness of Scribe's Binding is that it is a touch spell.

Hmm fair enough. I was hoping to be rid of her so we wouldn't have to keep the temptation around hence the question but if at all possible I would like to turn her into a book. She is knowledgeable and her mind would be of use...not necessarily her life.
 
@DragonParadox We need business action rolls, ACSEC rolls (plus fluff for opening up business in Saath and Omber IIRC?)


Also, seeing Yrael's new state of being would be nice. Not as though it will be hard to find an excuse to chat.
 
Would you guys like a post all about? It's developed its own institutional culture by now and is by far your most cosmopolitan institution.
Seeing what trade magnates in Armun Kelisk and OV are reacting to rapidly shifting trade and stock prices updating every day would be cool, since there's Vialesk's recent inclusion.
 
So, what is our take on infiltration and using doppelgangers? Because it seems that we need to start infiltrating the Westerlands, and the Golden shields in particular. That way we can appropriate their research and try to see if we can use a gate spell to allow our army to storm them form the inside. The walls and traps don't matter if the enemy is already within.

Deep Ones: "Been there. Doing that."
 
My current plan (or at least it will be the current plan once I can spare the brainpower to write it up) is to find as many of the PoE portals as we can and to sneak in small, lead-clad undead with Necrotic Molds that can chart the caverns and hide themselves in there by burrowing. On the day of the invasion, we would then open multiple Gates from a prepared demiplanes to let the Praetori teams and their Warstriders assault the caves from multiple directions, using magic items and burrowing undead to clear blockages and to create shortcuts.

It's good to know that the knights of the Lannisters can compete with the best of the Legion, but let's see how they handle super-soldiers with combined arms tactics.
 
[X] Lana has clearly shown her loyalties and thus you will resolve to kill her and prevent all resurrection to ensure that she does not become a powerful rallying point for the surviving Lannisters in particular and hostile Westerosi nobles in general.

Guys, if we assault the Westerlands labs, that will signal the start of the war, but didn't we plan on starting the war proper on the Reach? Or are we splitting our forces when we invade?
 
I'll keep altering names of actions if nobody minds, since the lyrical titles are very lyrical but are using a lot of words to say very little.
[] Bones, to Earth Returned: The fate of Sarnor was a dark one indeed, yet now, a hopeful light shows itself, with the remaining polities being friendly, and disposed towards an eventual alliance with the Empire. However, but one in hundred are the Undead that kept their sanity, and far too many of their mindless brethren toil the countryside for it to be safe for... any activities at all, to be attempted within these lands, not least because the Undead poison the soil so.
-[] Goal: Undead-hunting competition between Erynies, Lenjths, and Wild hunt; focus on ending any un-aligned Sentient Undead or stragglers of the destroyed armies. In absence of Sentient Undead, hunt down Mindless Undead as far as possible to.
----[] Nettles and the Sheepstealer; 10x Veteran Erynies; 11x Lenjths; 4x Wild Hunt Archers (Mounted) [CR 14]; 2x Wild Hunt Scouts (Houndmaster Hounds x3) [CR 16].
For the record: We have two Myrkdreki stationed in Sarnor since we made them to defend the colony and raid tombs with their ability to turn incorporeal. They should probably be mentioned here.
Furthermore, I'd call this action "Sarnori Pacification" for charities sake.
[] Heart of Waters, Darker Tides (continuation): Fucked if I know what to write here, ask Azel plz.
-[] Goals: See above.
----[] Hermetia; Grazdan the Grim; Koron Redmane; Lothos Saan; Menel Goldtooth; Living Ship Queen Rhaella & Diana the Sea Sprite; 1x Herald; 5x Advanced Erynies;
[] Plane of Water Delegation: Wrap up the necessary permissions to create a Terminus in Amun Kelisk and try to avoid more unnecessary entanglements in the politics of the city.
-[] Hermetia; Grazdan the Grim; Koron Redmane; Lothos Saan; Menel Goldtooth; Living Ship Queen Rhaella & Diana the Sea Sprite; 1x Herald; 5x Advanced Erynies;
[] Into the Lion's Jaws: The information shared by Archmaester Marwyn may just be the key to uncover what exactly are Lannisters planning for the long-expected conquest of yours.
-[] Goals: Infiltrate Lannisters' secure facilities, get information on exact countermeasures, plans, allies, and if possible numbers of weapons under their command, prepared in order to fight the Empire.
----[] Garin; Nuri
[] Operation Woodlouse: Given the information provided by Archmaester Marwyn, you have enough information to begin the preparations for the assault on Casterly Rock, to dig out any dug in Golden Shiels, Lana Lannister and Tywin Lannister, while preferably taking Casterly Rock intact. To this end, a team will begin to locate the portals leading the the caverns beneath Casterly Rock on the Plane of Earth and use these routes to infiltrate them. To do this, they will use Divinations to narrow down the possible locations, then scout on foot in the Plane of Earth. Once the caverns are infiltrated, they will observe the wards and, assuming they can remain undetected, plant minor, burrowing undead with the Lead-Clad template and Necrotic Molds controlling them. These undead will then begin to map the caverns and resume spying on all activities until the day of the attack.
----[] Garin, Nuri, Vee, Waymar, Tyene
[] Operation Starfall: After months of work invested into finding ways to sow disunity within the Court of Stars or to gain diplomatic leverage, you stand without having found any amount of success in either endeavor. More worryingly, it has become evident that the Fey possess much more combat power then expected and could spell disaster for the conquest of Westeros, if not the Imperium as a whole. They are a threat that needs to be dealt with and due to gentle means being unsuccessful and the time running out, drastic steps have to be taken.
-[] Part 1 - Holding Action: Resume your current efforts, even though you know them to be futile, so that your enemies are not alerted to the change of tactics. Let your people spy on Fey gathering, subvert minor, unaligned courts and interfere with the CoS' attempts to make pacts with Reacher lords.
----[] Spy on CoS and combat minor Dark Fey: 1x Orphne Fey Lord, 4x Wild Hunt Archers (Mounted) [CR 14], 2x Wild Hunt Scouts (Houndmaster Hounds x3) [CR 16], Osryx (Very Old Myrkdreki), 6x Verdant Phoenixes, 10x Guardian Nagas, 5x Heralds
----[] Find and subvert minor courts: Glyra + Feytroupe, Liomond Lashare, Ser Dregaire, Dirriz the Faerie Dragon, Vrath the Serpentfolk Hexblade, 1x Asura Upasunda (CR 9), 4x Asura Vayphaks (CR 5), Azema
----[] Spy on and subvert Reacher nobles: Alyssa Crowl, Danar Crowl, Ser Aubert Flowers, Velen, Xor, 3x Adult Mind Dragons (CR 15), The Misfits
----[] Reserve & Aid: 25x Plant-Imbued Shadow Creature Cat (w/+4 Racial HD) (CR 6, 6 HD), 1x Falxugon, 1x Gancanagh (CR 4) - Garantos, 22x Legion Devils, 4x Salikotal / Vengeance Devil
-[] Part 2 - Prepare the Great Sacrifice: Under utmost secrecy, prepare a great sacrifice ritual to the Old Gods, R'hllor, the Ferryman and Yss to use the Crown of Flowers as a conduit to kill the leadership and high-level combatants of the Court of Stars.
----[] Riz'Neth, Soft Strider, Nirah, the Champion of Yss (CR 20), Aife, Herald of the Ferryman (CR 22)
-[] Part 3 - The Great Summoning: Summon as many Fiends as you possibly can to fuel the ritual.
----[] Summoners: Viserys, Lya (1st Body)
----[] Guards: Dany, Richard, Vee, Zherys, Waymar, Malarys, Tyene, Adamantine Golem (Monk 1)
----[] Minion for guarding and processing: Mereth, 10x Heralds, 30x Veteran Erynies, 20x Glass Golems, 10x Blood Clot Molds, 10x Black Brutes, 2x Greater Blood Clot Molds, 2x Black Champions, 20x Vigilant Briars (CR 4), Balerion, 8x Fiery Dragonbeasts (CR15)
-[] Part 4 - Culmination: Perform the great ritual at the end of the month, sacrificing thousands of fiends to destroy the Court of Stars. Then immediately assemble a strike-force with all available Companions to either confirm the demise of the Court of Stars leadership or to assault their seat of power to finish off what is left.
----[] Everyone from the other parts, plus everyone else who is available.
Alteration to Part 3, Guards:
----[] Guards: Dany, Richard, Vee (Free Action), Zherys, Waymar (Free Action), Malarys, Tyene (Free Action), Adamantine Golem (Monk 1)

We will be deploying to multiple places, but I don't think that this involves anything that we need for the ritual. We can do both at once without reducing the resources allocated to either.
