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

Reader mode
I wonder if this little escapade will filter into the Westerosi rumor mill. If I recall correctly a good few fae from the court were twisting their fingers into the Reach so something this hard has got to reverberate something fierce.

It's one thing to think of "The Dragon in the West" spinning his plots and manically boiling babies for potions like a cut rate conjurer, it's quite another to hear that he magically nuked enough fae to fill a small kingdom in one strike.
 
-[] Main Strike Team: Viserys, Dany, Ser Richard, Lya
--[] Scout and secure the former stronghold of the Queen, with special focus on her body and the King. Feat on any energy fields that are smaller then your head, have Lya split any that are larger.

-[] Golden Court Team: Tyene, Vee, Malarys, Sandor
--[] Secure the corpse of the lord and the remnants of the court. Try to browbeat as many remaining Gold assets as possible into surrendering.

-[] Violet Spite Team: Moonsong, Balerion, Asha, Theon, Maelor
--[] Seek to get a formal surrender from the Violet Court, offering them clemency if they bend the knee.

First draft. Throwing this out so people can start evaluating it while I continue.

The Green Warden (Abjuration): Probably the closest to the fey of the Greenwood, though paradoxically not of that kindred, Crimson Lotus has never seen the face of the Warden, though he knows he is the direct patron of the Garth called 'the Green Knight'. Fey of the Green are much prized as diplomats and envoys as well as the shield to guard the court from intrusion, yet they are also suspected of carrying double loyalties with many of them drifting from under the patronage of the Court of Stars altogether. Worse yet it was a faction much beloved by the Slumbering King who ruled before the fey of the land and the Bright Courts were split in twain.

So, in rough order of priority, am I getting it right @Azel?:

[1] Go talk at Green court, with the appropriate amount of firepower backing up the talks.

Depends on a lot of things. We didn't write in to do some immediate follow-up action as part of this month for nothing. We still need to secure some locations and stuff immediately, such as the Queens dead body, the King, the remnants of her fortress and preferably all other fallen fortresses too.

Someone should definitely seek out the Green Court ASAP, but I don't think it should necessarily be us, or any of the Companions. Is this something we could get the Orphne Lord to handle for us? Maybe along with a representative from the Old Gods?

Yo, @Goldfish, when can we make Lya another body?
I want her blasting shit instead of doing 2 RAs a month that only she is qualified to do among all our people.

Lya is very close to leveling up. Preferably, she will wait until she levels up, thereby gaining access to 9th level spells, then gain the 2,000 XP cushion necessary to create her next body without suffering level drain due to XP loss.

@Azel I personally want more people on the Violet group. Dusk Dancer had enough levels/a template to know Greater Dispel Magic and becoming the leader of Violet could have given her a mythic rank or 2.
 
-[] Green Diplomacy Team: Orphne Lord, Alyssa Crowl, Danar Crowl, The Misfits, Soft Strider
--[] Goal is to at least neutralize the court, preferably to get them to swear fealty either to Viserys directly, or to the Old Gods.

@Goldfish, this fine for you?

Every team should include at least a flight of Erinyes, a couple Heralds, a few Glass Golems, and some Undead meat shields. Even if not needed, it's better to have them there for all possible threats, IMO.

Except for this team, since that would defeat the purpose of the diplomatic effort. Maybe include a Verdant Phoenix, too? They're pretty much the strongest thing we have plugged into the nature aspect of the Green Dream.

I'd add one or two more powerful units there. The Green Court is intact and they're not going to be happy to see our victorious envoys.

What about Bahro the Adamantine Golem?
 
Are we even going to be able to recruit anyone from this? Don't get me wrong, this was the only way to win this conflict any time soon, but with the casualties we just caused it feels kind of like everyone is going to scatter or spend their strength on spite.

Personally I'm not anticipating anyone bending the knee. The second purpose of us sending teams is to kill everyone that doesn't bend the knee.
 
@Goldfish, I'll do some combat padding once we got the PCs sorted.
Adding the Verdant Phoenix immediately though.

@silvanknight, added Rina, Aradia and Kyra to the Violet team.

@Duesal, added Nirah to the Green team.

Also added a team for Highgarden since odds are, they are aware of what exactly we just did.

-[] Highgarden "Diplomacy" Team: Rhealla, Osryx (Very Old Myrkdreki), The Seeker, Oberyn Martell (because pettiness quota)
--[] Deliver one (1) trained messenger raven and an explanation that you have solved the Tyrells Fey problems. Their undying gratitude and unwavering loyalty is appreciated.

-[] Golden Court Team: Tyene, Vee, Malarys, Sandor

Well, it seems that a pillar that has stood since the dawn age has fallen. Now we pick up the peaces and make them work for us.

I wonder if we could have used the ritual to strong arm the Star Crowned Queen into becoming part of our empire.
 
So would now be a good time to send Mace a replacement for that raven he lost, or are we too busy for spiting mortals at the moment?
edit: should have refreshed the page before posting.:V

If the queen had deigned to send an envoy or given the slightest hint her insane plan to enslave the Reach could be withdrawn we could have spared her. Some things just don't work out.

If it's Dusk Dancer, I want to dance a jig on her fucking grave after lowering her into it personally.

Worse. I'm sending Moonsong riding on Balerion to her. She'll beg for the Wildfyre.

Can we build an insulting statue over Dusk Dancer's grave?
 
The Star Court finally feeling fear. Their leader dead along with most of the Court destroyed. Not sure how many would surrender.
