We can place a special order in the Opaline Vault or Armun Kelisk for some Create Greater Demiplane scrolls if we need them. We don't have any crafters who can manage 9th level spells, though Lya is really close to crossing that threshold.
We could probably just send someone to buy what each city has available, though that probably won't get us more than a few scrolls.

We just need a few to open the exit Gates for the invasion. We can prepare the entrances the day before.

I just checked the Armory. We still have two of the Create Greater Demiplane scrolls we originally purchased. Viserys gained the ability to cast them himself before we used all of them.

We need more. At least... three more. Better five.

Then we'll definitely need to send someone to purchase what they can. For the sake of thoroughness and because there probably aren't many of them available, we should hit up Vialesk, the Opaline Vault, and Armun Kelisk.

In non-sequitur news I have just found a cinematic miracle, or at least a scientific anomaly, a remake that deserved to be made and actually improves on the original, the 2019 version of Pet Sematary. It improves on the original mostly by casting a person who can act in the lead role as opposed to the 89 version which had one person able to act in the whole movie (the guy who played Jud). I think the next best actor in that one was the cat. So yeah i you like horror, zombie cats and nebulous evils give it a watch.

The only part of the original Pet Cemetary movie I can remember involved a toddler zombie hamstringing an old dude with a scalpel as he walked down a flight of stairs into an unlit basement. Freaked me out.
I think that's how it happened?
PSA: Parents, don't take your six year old to horror movies and expect them not to make a scene in the darkened theater when zombie children start mutilating people.
- Yes, that did indeed happen.
- You could take kids to see Pet Sematary back in the day? I mean I never saw either version in the in cinemas, but still one would expect there to be some rules about six year olds and horror movies, especially that one.

Ha, my mother didn't win any Parent of the Year awards, that's for sure.
I also developed a slight cause of clown terror as a child when she made me watch the original It movie. And anything with the traditional "Grey" aliens in it absolutely terrified me due to an episode of Unsolved Mysteries she made me watch. And then there was Pumpkinhead...
Huh, now that I'm thinking about it, I'm starting to remember why I used to threaten to put my mom in a really crappy nursing home when she got old. 🤔

You got scared, but how many got eaten by reflexive feeding? I mean, you didn't have full control of your pseudopods back then.
There must have been rules about taking juvenile sins against nature with you to the cinema. Or at least some rules about pets. Because both goldfishes and tarantulas are pets, you could argue that at least.

Maybe throw in some Glass Golems, too? We've got lots of them.

Part MMMDCLXI: Turns and Travels
Turns and Travels
First Day of the Fourth Month 294 AC
After some thought you decide Tyene has a point about the Starks, you have been putting off the meeting since your tense meeting with the Lord of Winterfell at the Wall, but it has to be done and if you can order the papers to write about Aerys the Mad King you can deal with some of his legacy face to face. Being honest with yourself, Lord Stark is not the one you are most wary of meeting. Perhaps the years have brought some peace or wisdom to Lyanna Stark, if not... well you will deal with that bridge when you come to it. At least with Robert dead at the Lannisters' hands, not to mention the manner of it, you can present a common enemy to Eddard.
Before you can set out however you look into other news of those meddling with powers of the Far North. The wounded fey lord of the Indigo. Alas there are no clear answers to be found and no easy paths into the depths of the Feywild. It is no accident that you find upon your desk the most strangely composed report of your entire life courtesy of Glyra. It appears to be entirely written in limericks, the last of which is:
So let me seek the bloody mask,
High and low, deep and far
I knew you would never ask,
I'll look beyond the farthest star
High and low, deep and far
I knew you would never ask,
I'll look beyond the farthest star
Thankfully before you can decide if you should congratulate or scold her for somehow breaking into your solar and sneaking the page in the middle of a sober Inquisition report you come upon a more promising discovery. Hearing of the danger of the shards of summer falling to the cold beyond Winter the Lord of the Wild Hunt has vowed to search for the Mask and those who yet serve it. Given that those of the Indigo are oft share their souls with beasts and other shapechangers you suspect at least part of the offer is motivated by a desire to recruit some of them to his service, but you certainly aren't going to object to the help simply because it is self-interested.
By contrast finding glamor-weavers who do not wish to be found in the depths of the Feywild, even ones who have just lost their monarch, is likely to prove harrowing upon treacherous paths, though here too you receive unexpected aid. Renly Storm, gone from Sorcerer's Deep for almost three months, found his way back to the material realm in the wake of the upheavals of the Breaking of the Summer Court with news of where the most likely paths of flight are.
The young man seems different somehow from when last you saw him, though you cannot put a finger on any one feature transformed. Perhaps there is an inner light to his features that was not there before, or perhaps the blue of his eyes shines brighter, or his manner is more poised. He has not found the answers he sought, still less the true Renly Baratheon, but he seems convinced that the Court of Illusion holds the key. You do not have the heart to tell him that you might have destroyed those answers in one bloody ritual. Rather than merely bidding him good hunting you ask him to record the tale of his journey and bide a while here that he might set off in stronger company.
Renly Storm Gains 2 Levels (Cavalier); Lamora Gains 2 Levels (Arcane Savant); Venny Gains 4 Levels (Rogue); Cryl Converts all Warrior levels to Fighter
Someday you might even have the time to read those tales. You shake off the weariness before it can take hold and continue on into the evening. In less ethereal news Astral Currents has seen the expected increase in profits from the Terminus in Vialesk, allowing the trade of three spheres to now mingle and flourish in Sorcerer's Deep. When the spirits of air, earth and water name the world under the sun the Garden it speaks to more than ancient myth and tale now, it speaks of what it is becoming.
Astral Currents grows by 21% (Regular Growth + Vialesk Branch)
Looking out of your window into the realm soon to grow you consider where to best assign your assets in the days to come for there is always more work to be done.
[] Write in plan
OOC: As I was witting this I remembered Renly and company and rolled for them for the past two months (since I had not done so since the second of the month). You guys got lucky with more assets to throw at fey problems. On the other hand you did not get lucky in actually finding the Violet Court before the start of the month so it kind of balances out.

-----[X] Guides and pathfinders.

-----[X] Essentially a lot of concentrated combat power, but no one essential to the functioning of the realm or its continued stability, or alternatively no one who wouldn't cause problems without Viserys' hand at the tiller who also couldn't afford to delegate their duties to a Companion at-need if away too long. This keeps the group light, fast and mobile. Worst case scenario, Viserys pops opens a Gate out of there (or to the other Group).
----[X] Renly (Cavalier 11), Lamora (Shadow Creature Vela Sorceress 6/ Arcane Savant 2), Veny (Erinat Gremlin Rogue 5), Cyril (Frost Giant Fighter 5)

-[X] Quizzing the Quickling: The Quickling ganglord that escaped the Misfits in King's Landing is but the final tale to tie now, with some support from your other Minions, now.
----[X] the Misfits, Darkstar, Kennos, Thoros, Mors, Bonifer, Velen
[X] To Extinguish the FeyFire - continuation: The battle between R'hlor and Ymeri is beyond even you and your closest Companions to help directly... yet, as shown by the forces he gathers to break into Ymeri's domain, much can still be done to smoothen that out.
-[X] Goal: Support R'hlor's forces in killing Ymeri.
----[Airforce] 1st to 4th Battlegroups, 1st and 2nd Fighter Squadron, 1st Bomber Squadron (3x Moonchaser Type A, 1x Dauntless, 12x Wyvern Type-B, 31x Wyvern Type-A, 8x Manticore)
----[Other Forces] Yrael; Moonsong; Amrealth; the Hadhayosh (CR 20); Bloom the Brijidine; The Harbinger (CR 17); 15x Heralds

----[X] Tyene (Free Action), Oberyn, Sandor, 3x Erynies (for teleporting and overwatch purposes).

----[X] Rhaella, Waymar, Seeker, 1x Umbral Stalker
[X] Sarnori Pacification -- Continuation: The Void-touched Olethrodaemon that regulated much of the proceedings among the Undead of Sarnor may be gone now, but too much of its accursed legacy still lies in that land. Have your agents scour the lands, working with agents of the allied Sarnori Kingdoms, to end the Mindless Undead still in the area, and to, perhaps, seek out any Sentient Undead who hide still in the wake of the sound defeat of the corrupt hosts but two months ago.
----[X] Nettles & Sheepstealer (Level 12); 1x Adult Mind Dragon (CR 15), 1x Very Old Myrkdreki Dragon (CR 15), 11x Veteran Erynies, 11x Lejnths, 5x Verdant Phoenixes (CR 15), 50x Verdant Kingfishers, 10x Verdant Ravens (CR 6), 2x Wild Hunt Archers (CR 14), 2x Wild Hunt Scouts (CR 16), 8x Praetori Squads (Total of 72 Praetori and 8 Light Warstriders deployed.)
[X] Operation Pest Control MK II: Send forces to the apparently shut entrance to the Underdark you found in Sothoryos. Have them scout the tunnel system, confirm that it is sealed, try to eliminate all pests within and finally retrieve the bodies of the slain mages for a Chain Resurrection. The expedition will be equipped with a set of Titan's Tools which they can use to more thoroughly seal any passages they locate, or for any other uses which may present themselves, along with a Wayfinder for navigation and investigation.
----[X] 1x Adult Mind Dragons (CR 15), 5x Necro Kraken with Greater Bloodclot Molds, 50x Black Knight with Mobility Upgrade, 200x Spitters, 1x Herald (CR 10) w/3x Elemental Wyrmlings (Fire) for support, 5x Guardian Nagas (CR 10), 4x Plant-Imbued Shadow Creature Cat (w/+4 Racial HD) (CR 6, 6 HD), 4x Mushroom Golems (CR 10), 5x Advanced Sorcerer Creature Snapdragon Leshy, 20x Watchmoles (CR 6), 20x Praetori Squad (180 Praetori total)
[X] Scouting the Neck: Send some people to investigate the situation in the Neck, which Fey there are and how they are aligned in the wider Fey politics. Take special note of any information relevant to the movement of large armies, such as a potential host from the North trying to march through the Neck to the Riverlands.

[X] The Hill Fey Chose to Die On: The location of the former main stronghold of the COurt of Stars is of interest to you as a future outpost into the Feywild. Protecting it from an opportunistic takeover by any locals is but good sense now.
----[X] 1x Wild Hunt Scout (CR 16), 2x Wild Hunt Archers (CR 14), 5x Heralds (CR 10), 10x Watchmoles (CR 6), 7x Vigilant Briars (CR 4), 100x Verdant Kingfishers, 10x Verdant Ravens, 50x Plant-Imbued Shadow Creature Cat (CR 6) 1x Verdant Phoenix (CR 15), 5x Advanced Sorcerer Creature Snapdragon Leshy (CR 10), 5x Guardian Nagas (CR 10), 10x Black Champions (CR 15), 200x Black Knights (Mobility Upgrade), 500x Spitter Swarms (buried around the location), 5x Praetori Squads (Total of 45 Praetori deployed).

[X] Infiltration into the City of Brass:

[X] (once all else is done) Have your coronation as the Emperor and broadcast it for all to see.
[X] Have Burny bless his temple in SD after Ymeri is dead/ran away as a part of thanks for our contribution.
[X] If our part in Ymeri's defeat (which is inevitable) counts enough for the fey of her former court - move in to loot them.
[X] Check up on the Drow priestess that Dany restored from her curse. Is she able to semi-reliably operate under orders in your service yet?
[X] Meet in-person with the Starks, discuss a lot.
[X] Final dealings with the lords of Westeros, if any. TheirReckoning Reconquest is at hand.
[X] Pre-Reconquest Preparations:
-[X] Security and War Readiness:
--[X] In response to the news of the Lannisters using Other servants as disposable killers and the unrest in the western provinces likely caused by the death of the usurper, all imperial forces and institutions are given the order to go on Low Readiness alert level.
--[X] Furthermore, in anticipation of the coronation at the end of the month, Army, Airforce, and Inquisition assets in the Stepstones will be placed on High Readiness until further notice.
--[X] Since part of Low Readiness is that the Legions must become ready to deploy within 24 hours, this will mask the preparations of the attack on Westeros under the guise of simple caution.
--[X] Barring any unforeseen events, you will escalate this general alert state to Imperium wide High Readiness for the Army, Airforce, Inquisition, and Forges in response to the death of the Small Council, and give out Imminent Offensive orders to the participating units on the day of the coronation
-[X] Prepare some letters to be sent out at the 27th of the month, which will be early enough for the recipients to make preparations for attending the coronation, but far too little for them to muster any defense worth the name.
--[X] The letters will be delivered in the following ways:
---[X] Staunchly loyalist houses and those who are more exposed to enemy attack, took on great personal risk to support you or are of a more prickly nature will receive the invitations delivered personally by Dowager Queen Rhealla in her function as the head of the diplomatic corps.
----[X] This list includes Doran Martell (Loyalist), Monford Velaryon (Loyalist), Stannis Baratheon (Important Turncoat), Lothar Brune (Loyalist), Raymun Darry (Loyalist), Jon Royce (Loyalist), Walder Frey (Prickly), Roose Bolton (just to make sure he does nothing stupid if Ned Stark is doing something stupid), Baelor Hightower (Important Turncoat), Roderick Harlaw (Important), with more people being added if Rhealla deems it prudent to do so.
---[X] Loyalist houses will receive the invitation delivered in person by a member of the diplomatic corps, if security considerations permit, or by a Three-Eyed Raven.
---[X] Enemy houses will receive the invitations by regular raven, sent by the local loyalist houses.
---[X] Important enemy houses (Tywin Lannister, Hoster Tully, Lysa Arryn) will receive their letters attached to a kinetic impactor fired by a Manticores steam cannons into their keeps.
[X] Experiment on the remaining Carnivorous Crystals, see:
-[X] How quickly they grow if fed living beings as per their ability;
--[X] Whether the beings they are fed upon should have a higher brain capacity for better results (check by making some soulless brainmeat in the Fleshforge);
-[X] If the Crystals require specific environmental conditions for continued growth and procreation (see method above), whether they require
-[X] Whether the Crystals affect their habitat in a detrimental manner, the best containment measures.
-[X] Can they be used to generate large amounts of rare/unique resources, given they are allowed to procreate in hundreds?
[X] Report (preferably summarized and off-screen): One quick look at Darleth the Delver's fortress - we've not gotten a status update in months, how's it been going?

This keeps the group light, fast and mobile. Worst case scenario, Viserys pops opens a Gate out of there (or to the other Group).

Research Actions
-[X] Proximity Alarms: You have been in the possession of plans for enchantments that trigger an effect when something comes close to it for a while now. See about developing a cheap and reusable item that can be used to detect intruders. Maybe even Serpentstone can be triggered this way, which would allow you to even take pictures or recordings of your targets.(Progress: 0/25; Cost: 30,000 IM)
----[X] Riz'Neth (4d6 Progress), Pentos Scholarum Branch (2d6 Progress).
-[X] Improved Alchemy: The Imperium hungers for alchemical goods and much effort was poured into producing as much of them as possible, but it still does not even remotely satisfy the demand. Especially the military can devour concoctions such as Alchemists Fire or Explosive Packs at an astonishing rate. See about to either improve the output of your alchemical factories or to discover alternatives to these substances that are easier to mass-produce.
(Progress: 0/50; Cost: 200,000 IM)

[X] Ritual-crafting: 1 point of Progress per spell-level, max spell level - 4th.
-[X] Mind Warding: Rituals

---[2] Widely-Shared Ritual - Suppress Charms and Compulsions (Progress: 2)

(Total Progress: 30, Cost: ??)
----[X] Leila Goldhammer (2d6 Progress), Svitran (2d6 Progress),
[X] Spell-Crafting
-[X] Research a Greater version of Baleful Teleport [no distance limit, 8th level]
(Progress: 11/16, Cost: ??)
----[X] Lya (1st body) (4d6 Progress),
[X] Sand Viper's Reach: Have Tyene retrain her Occular Spell into a version of a Reach Spell that has only +1 level adjustment
(Progress: 0/8)
----[X] Tyene (4d6 Progress),
[X] Secure the Flesh Forge, and fleshsmiths, against memetic attacks
-[X] Heavy defenses (Progress 29/45; Cost 600,000 IM)
----[X] Vee (4d6 Progress), Lady Saenena Caleris (4d6 Progress),
[X] Project Distilling Dreams: The Rituals Naria discovered produce divine power but not in any usable form, distill it to something that can be stored and used
(Progress 0/60 Cost 120,000 IM)
----[X] Lya's 2nd body (4d6 Progress); Dany (4d6 Progress), Aenie Caleris (4d6 + 2d6 Progress);
[X] Forge of Creation -- 2.0: With the Sarnor's pacification, there comes a much higher need for Warforged bodies than could ever have been expected. Now, that the arcane machinery of Forge of Creation was built once, it could be built again - but not without effort by those most skilled at the arcane artifice.
(Progress: 0/15 -- half of the original RA) - NOTE, start another Forge if action completed with too much Progress.
----[X] Anu the Warforged (4d6 Progress +1d6 via the Skymender), Mantarys Scholarum Branch (2d6 Progress);
----[X] Bodyguard detail, because the Skymender is precious: 2x Guardian Nagas (CR 10), 1x Verdant Phoenix (CR 15), 10x Vigilant Briars (CR 4), 5x Watchmoles (CR 6), 5x Glass Golems, 2x Heralds (CR 10), 3x Plant-Imbued Shadow Cats (CR 6), 1x Advanced Sorcerer Creature Snapdragon Leshy (CR 10), 5x Black Champions (CR 15), 50x Black Knights with Mobility Upgrade, 200x Spitters (to be buried around the work site)
[X] Selectively Permeable Force Effects: Allow wards, enchantments and spells to selectively ignore materials passing outward and inward through a Force effect, allowing for more complex structures and materials with further research. Not limited to examples given.
-[X] Tier 1: Gateway research. Straight upgrade for pre-existing, simple barriers, at-cost. (Brilliant Barrier can attune to the weapon systems on airships.)
--[X] The first step to creating more delicate workings that interact with the Ethereal Plane, progressing along this path will first allow simple, contiguous objects to pass through Force effects once properly attuned. At this level of progress, mass and complexity is limited, and materialized creatures and objects with strong auras of enchantment will be unable to move outside of the effect.
(Progress: 0/25, Cost: 70.000 IM)
----[X] Beryl (4d6 Progress), Tyrosh Scholarum Branch (2d6 Progress), Stepstones Scholarum Branch (2d6 Progress).
-[X] 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.
(Progress: 0/18; Cost: 15,000 IM)
----[X] Sorcerer's Deep's Engineering University (2d6 Progress)
[X] The Key to Madness: Exchange the lore gathered by the Imperium on the creatures of Far Realm and Illithids specifically, as well as the methods of finding their influence and agents, in return getting the Azure Court's own knoweldge on the subject matter.
(Progress: 0/40)
----[X] Rina (4d6 Progress),
[X] The Mind's Games: The psychological effects of repeated and sustained enchantment on the mental state and brain of the average person.
(Progress 24/32)
----[X] Mercy of the Soul (4d6 Progress); + Gith bonus.
[X] A Baleful Mirage: You have recently been forwarded a set of spell-scripts and samples by which the Efreeti have been made use of to manipulate the 'Grey Veil'.
-[X] While this may be a technological dead end, studying it will prevent it's usage from being as effective in the hands of your enemy and may even be of some use to your allies
(Progress: 38/60, Cost: ??).
----[X] Valeria the Wondersmith (4d6 Progress); Tolos Scholarum Branch (2d6 Progress);
[X] Undead Template Research
-[X] Metal-Clad Template (Mythral and Adamantine): Unlike the Dreadfort, the Imperium has vast stocks of arcane metals. Some of those might yield exceptionally strong coatings for undead bones. (Requires Metal-Clad Template (Mundane Metals),
(Progress 0/20, Cost 100,000 IM)
----[X] Elaheh Marita (4d6 Progress), Urak the Forgemaster (4d6 Progress)
[X] Reading through the bound Daemon-tome infected with the Void:
----[X] Maester Qyburn (?) (Light reading as a free action?
)[X] Reading through the Dusk Dancer and the Nairos of the Shrouded Light
----[X] Lya (either body) (Free Action)
MAs:
[X] Make sure there is a small but tasteful memorial to Lucan. He was a bit of a sanctimonious prick that held onto his Good morals too tightly for our tastes, but at least he went out in a blaze of glory doing something arguably worthwhile. Unlike many others.[X] Giant Enemy Portal Crab: Set up a regular watch with Divination to detect when the Illithid use a low number of Abyssal Custodians for a raid, then conduct a Scry & Die attack on their raiding force with the goal of abducting one for them for research purposes.
[X] (once all else is done) Have your coronation as the Emperor and broadcast it for all to see.
[X] Have Burny bless his temple in SD after Ymeri is dead/ran away as a part of thanks for our contribution.
[X] If our part in Ymeri's defeat (which is inevitable) counts enough for the fey of her former court - move in to loot them.
[X] Check up on the Drow priestess that Dany restored from her curse. Is she able to semi-reliably operate under orders in your service yet?
[X] Meet in-person with the Starks, discuss a lot.
[X] Final dealings with the lords of Westeros, if any. Their
[X] Pre-Reconquest Preparations:
-[X] Security and War Readiness:
--[X] In response to the news of the Lannisters using Other servants as disposable killers and the unrest in the western provinces likely caused by the death of the usurper, all imperial forces and institutions are given the order to go on Low Readiness alert level.
--[X] Furthermore, in anticipation of the coronation at the end of the month, Army, Airforce, and Inquisition assets in the Stepstones will be placed on High Readiness until further notice.
--[X] Since part of Low Readiness is that the Legions must become ready to deploy within 24 hours, this will mask the preparations of the attack on Westeros under the guise of simple caution.
--[X] Barring any unforeseen events, you will escalate this general alert state to Imperium wide High Readiness for the Army, Airforce, Inquisition, and Forges in response to the death of the Small Council, and give out Imminent Offensive orders to the participating units on the day of the coronation
-[X] Prepare some letters to be sent out at the 27th of the month, which will be early enough for the recipients to make preparations for attending the coronation, but far too little for them to muster any defense worth the name.
--[X] The letters will be delivered in the following ways:
---[X] Staunchly loyalist houses and those who are more exposed to enemy attack, took on great personal risk to support you or are of a more prickly nature will receive the invitations delivered personally by Dowager Queen Rhealla in her function as the head of the diplomatic corps.
----[X] This list includes Doran Martell (Loyalist), Monford Velaryon (Loyalist), Stannis Baratheon (Important Turncoat), Lothar Brune (Loyalist), Raymun Darry (Loyalist), Jon Royce (Loyalist), Walder Frey (Prickly), Roose Bolton (just to make sure he does nothing stupid if Ned Stark is doing something stupid), Baelor Hightower (Important Turncoat), Roderick Harlaw (Important), with more people being added if Rhealla deems it prudent to do so.
---[X] Loyalist houses will receive the invitation delivered in person by a member of the diplomatic corps, if security considerations permit, or by a Three-Eyed Raven.
---[X] Enemy houses will receive the invitations by regular raven, sent by the local loyalist houses.
---[X] Important enemy houses (Tywin Lannister, Hoster Tully, Lysa Arryn) will receive their letters attached to a kinetic impactor fired by a Manticores steam cannons into their keeps.
[X] Experiment on the remaining Carnivorous Crystals, see:
-[X] How quickly they grow if fed living beings as per their ability;
--[X] Whether the beings they are fed upon should have a higher brain capacity for better results (check by making some soulless brainmeat in the Fleshforge);
-[X] If the Crystals require specific environmental conditions for continued growth and procreation (see method above), whether they require
-[X] Whether the Crystals affect their habitat in a detrimental manner, the best containment measures.
-[X] Can they be used to generate large amounts of rare/unique resources, given they are allowed to procreate in hundreds?
[X] Report (preferably summarized and off-screen): One quick look at Darleth the Delver's fortress - we've not gotten a status update in months, how's it been going?
