Asha Greyjoy doesn't have her own magic as far as I was aware. Are you sure DP didn't misunderstand who you were talking about?
He may have been bitten by Goldfish, then :V
I was pretty clear there:
I dont exactly need the _full_ sheets for Aisha, Riz'Neth, Melisande and Yurten.

The levels are needed just to roughly judge their firepower/survivability ratio for when we'll be assigning them somewhere.
Ah I see:
  1. Aisha is a lvl 7 Warlock
  2. Riz'Neth is a level 14 Sorcerer (who punches somewhat above his weight class because he gets and extra set of actions)
  3. Yrten is a level 13 fighter (he likes to stay with his ship)
  4. Melisandre is dual caster (mystery and divine magic) with a combined HD of 17 but she does not get into the max spells on either because you slow down spell progress to multi-class.
 
Then in what sort of situation would Low Readiness ever happen?
Examples:
- a Legion unit on field deployment would always maintain Low Readiness, regardless of active threats or not
- when dealing with suspected cult activity, giving Low Readiness to the Inquisition and Scholarium would make sense
- during the more dangerous experiments, Gogossos should maintain Low Readiness at minimum
- in preparation for troop deployments, you would usually give out Low Readiness a month or so before moving them so that they can get their ducks in a row, then switch to High Readiness shortly before giving them deployment orders (this has been pretty much abstracted away entirely)
- after the Demon attack on the Snare, we would have likely kept Low Readiness orders on regular military units and the Scholarium in SD, while the Inquisition would have remained on High Readiness
 
It actually is kind of secret, depending on the spell being ritualized. That said, we will also be keeping track of them from now on, so if any of them treasonously talk about what they shouldn't they'll get a visit.

Okay but only some of them are. I think we can split it between the two. The Scholarium can handle the widely shared and the rest are the rest. Also having the Scholariums go and just ritualize spells we deem useful(healing spells etc) would be a good use for them

Edit: I just don't trust it anymore. Not without either massive security memory wipe protocols or a fuck ton of geas

Whew, the move is about 33% done. Saturday and Sunday to go, followed by a week or so in a hotel room, and I should be settled again. Moving is the worst.

Something about the fey being smug about our mistakes when they sat on their asses while we held the Crown of Flowers for literal months and then committed deicide and killed more than half of their leadership with it is ....quite funny. :V
 
Somewhere in the Valyrian afterlife, our ancestors are doing non-stop pelvic trusts into the faces of everyone who ever looked down on House Targeryen.
I laughed so hard that I startled my dog. Normally that would be even funnier, but she's super skittish in this unfamiliar environment. Poor girl just isn't the traveling sort.
I think we need to start making more extensive use of Whisper Safes. They basically let you track the number and general demographics of the people who know a particular piece of information. We load them up with keywords and similar tags for our projects, and then we can passively monitor who's learning it instead of needing to use constant blind divination.

We should also consider just making something based on the memory moss to remove information from people while they're off site. They can just deal with needing to eat moss in the mornings to remember where they left off.
We purchased at least 10 of these with our latest commission order. They're limited in what they do, but it's still an easy extra layer of security. When I have a chance to get my computer set up, I'll make sure to add a bunch more of them to this month's retroactive order.
 
-[] Razor Wire: While the easy availability of earth-moving magic has made it much easier to erect battlefield fortifications, many of the Legions officers see still room for improvement. They are asking for something that can be incorporated into other defenses to block an enemy's movement, but which does not hinder their own soldiers ranged attacks and which is vulnerable to hostile earth movement magic or alchemical weapons. There has been some talk about using spiked metal rods or something similar for that purpose.

This is mostly an engineering problem and should be done by the SD universities engineering department and / or the SD military academy research action.
 
Wait we have another security leak? Why we have so many leaks? Honestly starting to get worried about our information security.
 
Why we have so many leaks?
Because divination is OP [OOC reasoning] and we are contending with extraplanar Empires and high-CR groups that kept the game of scry-and-die alive for millenia now [IC reasoning].

We can't reasonably Mindblank everyone, and dnd rules dont play to our favor hwre-
But neither do they work for our enemies, when we use our House of Mirrors to be ready for an amassed attack to any of our places (no way for Squids to hide thousands of scum, for example) or scout Lannister territories.

The stuff Azel wrote up above seriously decreases the rate of fuck-uppery due/from enemy having information on us, though.

It's the problem with our pace IMO. We know we're basically running on borrowed time with like 12 different apocalypses on our schedule at any given day so we don't have the time to keep everything on deep ice levels of security.

We do our best mind you, and we never make the same mistake twice we make damn sure of that, but mistakes will be made because we're not perfect and we're trying to forge the kind of planar security you'd find after 1000 years of growth within a decade because shit is really gonna get that bad that soon.

Hell look at what the Court of Stars had set up and what we had to do just to knock them out before they set it off. That was one "local" situation we had to deal with, and we summoned enough demons to fill a minor hell, gathered 4 different gods, and had all of them focus their A-game killing strikes within the span of a few weeks to a month on the outside.

We're basically speedrunning this shit.
 
We're basically speedrunning this shit.
...I request an "ASWaH any% speedrun"-omake now.

Optional but highly appreciated:
Wallclipping into the cell with the Bloodraven during the first vision sequence to jump-start the Rhaella questline;
Using duplication glitch to make [indefinite number] of sacrifices for Old Gods from the bottled enemy;
Getting infinite HP by getting stuck in a random door in SD for a few minutes;
One-shotting Tiamat's avatar by abusing physics engine interactions via accelerated b-hop across all of Essos in her face;

Edit: nevermind, I did it myself :o

No more using undergrad students, we need to think of them as black site research zones.


... but why would the Scholarum act like going to flesh forges and such is picnic? When they have the Scholarum bonus I always thought it was because the researchers there became dedicated units of the facility?

Also, I was expecting them to have their memories of the time period spent there scrubbed of information once their shift is done.

Bottom line, we've placed our trust in the wrong people. This is on us, and we need to make sure magelings aren't given anything important ever again.
