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

We're past the point where this level of optimization is worth it in my opinion. The material cost of a true resurrection isn't trivial, but we can manage it as part of strategic play without serious issue. Reinforcing the distinction between serving the Imperium and serving Hell seems worth the cost of doing it now to me.

Good point. The cost won't hurt us, but it can only be to our advantage to be seen as taking care of our Summoned minions.

Maybe include a Reached Chained True Resurrection for them, @Artemis1992?
 
Added it, though I'm not fully convinced.
Unlike the Erynies that swore to us, these seem more like mercenaries.

Still, some generosity can't go wrong. Raise Dead is not that expensive (let's not use True Rez though, please).

@Artemis1992, use True Resurrection. It's established policy for our assorted Outsiders.

Pretty sure we used the simple Revive Outsider for the first time we lost Erynies.
Mereth even gave her good wishes along the lines of regaining the lost XP in our service.

We only used True Rez when we had mass-deaths that we wanted to true-rez anyway and the Erinyes fit into the chainable number, like we did in Sarnor.
 
[X] Use the body to track the Daemon for a quick Scry & Die.
-[X] Also use a chained True Resurrection on the dead minions while creating replacements for the destroyed undead.

It's not necessarily about them so much as it is about reinforcing the point that we care about our people and are willing to put our money where our mouth is when it means something.

We may not care about these people in particular, but the costs of giving them better treatment are far outweighed by the benefits of the reputation this kind of thing maintains.

I would prefer to use True Resurrection, too. If we're bringing them back, we might as well preserve their HD, too.

What body are we using, the Reaper corpse? @DragonParadox, I know you said we could use the remains earlier, but I'm pretty sure we already tried to do that and it didn't work?
 
Whether resurrect or revive I'd prefer to have the forces already there deal with this, with possibility to call in some more forces as backup, even if it kills some more of them we can afford the price to get them back alive again easy. I rather not resort to call in main party everytime something difficult comes along.

Also we can only track I believe, not immediately get their location and jump there. If it gets any ideas we are on the way it will bail.

To be specific I said it would not work instantly, and would need time. That time has passed the ritual has been done, you guys could track the daemon like that or you could hunt it normally with the lead from the patrol.

It should be fairly straightforward to triangulate it with the compass and an Erinyes. It's more a matter of getting a dedicated strike team in wait before it can run off.

Basically I asked "Y'all mind if we keep this until after we do everything else this month, for more catharsis?" and noone argued.

We have, in order:
1) the rest of RAs and Adventures to get reports on
2) see how our Minions "fight" Court of Stars (without knowing it being pointless, ofc)
3) Slavers' Bay, Operation Woodlouse (infiltrating lannisters) as the two semi-central events.
4) Seeing Viserys and Lya do the supercharged-summoning on-screen (and maybe a few chapters of dealing with any unwanted incursions)
5) Reports on infrastructure, economy, scholarum, etc.
6) Ymeri-slapping contest with R'hlor and friends [interlude].
7) Us doing the sacrifice-ritual and then going out to kill the CoS.
8) CoS ded, Robert-dying interlude.
9) Next turnvote.

Assuming no spanners in the works, we are about 2/3rds of the way done with the month (if judging by the total number of actions. 1/3rd if by month's expected length)
