[X] Explaining to the Martells the existence of Jon Targaryen/Stark, then The Lunch

I want Rhaenys' reaction.
 
So, I've been wondering. When we do the whole Operation to take Casterly Rock from within, who wants have Buttercup rousing the rabble and creating a distraction from outside?

We could sing about that time Tywin was tricked by Fey and cursed into having golden diarrhea, with Glyra and Xor helping too.
 
Personally I think we will come across Robbs soul once we begin fighting the Others more, simply because he's disproportionately worth more to them as bait, as a soul to devour for power, or turn into an undead slave, he's a soul with the potential of a major bloodline, but not any class levels to actualize that potential, which isn't a dime a dozen, but isn't enough to make something truly powerful either, as bait however, he's someone that's important enough to the Others, that tempting us with him, has a chance of getting us to walk into a trap, or can be used to distract us from attacking something important to them long enough to evacuate.

they probably can't get more than a CR10 creature out of his soul, and his worth as a distraction or bait, is more than a CR10 creature is worth.

Part MMMDCLXII: Upon the Fading Paths

    • Upon the Fading Paths ​

    Second Day of the Fourth Month 294 AC

    The company you have gathered for the hunt is each resplendent in their power from your own sorcerous arts and lore of dreaming lands; to Amrelath leading two myrkdreki and a mated pair of elder mind dragons to Ser Richard, Vee and Maelor among your companions, the first chosen for strength in battle, the second for her deep lore of the Old Gods and by proxy the fey and the third for the tireless fount of magic within him, not to mention his enthusiasm for the mission. Not that he has any particular dislike of the Court of Stars but Maelor had greeted the call for volunteers to dive into the Feywild with a 'as long as it isn't more fucking efreeti and I don't have to sell them anything I'm there.'

    Mereth leading a full dozen of her sisters and a pair of vigilant hunters round out your company for the road save for one being who is more ally than vassal. Aife, Herald of the Ferryman and spirit of the deep waters. To enter the fey lands in the company of such as her is a show of strength that would be counted in other times unwise, but with the Court of Stars broken and the Wild Hunt more concerned with hunting your enemies than barring your way now is the hour to be bold.

    Your path takes you from the forests of the Reach to realms ever so slightly different. The leaves are greener here, in what the Freefolk would perhaps call the Lands of Ever-Summer. Under witch moon and false sun burning bright you travel northward and inwards, to misty glades ever more remote from the realms of men. The Wyldfae hide, the living trees are still, their breath barely a whisper in the wind for they do not dare challenge you, but have no interest in hastening your way either.

    Then Vee calls to the spirits of the land and the beasts that dwell within them. Strange they are even to one who recalls the the dreams of dead dragons, horned toads with the lags of shadowcats springing from the branches, three eyed foxes with fur that bristles like steel needles, even golden salmon that swim through the air in great shoals and speak with the voices of tribes of man long vanished from the earth.

    Though they will not approach the baatezu, much less the Herald, the odd beasts agree to tell you where the Violet Court has fled to in exchange for a bargain, for once a simple and straightforward one, whether because they would rather not test Vee's forbearance or because these fragmentary tales broken and sifted together that have no need for the complex games of greater fey you do not know.

    "They want to be born again in flesh like we do to the spirits of the green," Vee explains. "They wouldn't be proper fey, more like beasts with a touch of magic to 'em. Likely won't look this strange."

    Do you take the deal for guidance deeper into the Feywild on the tail of your foe?

    [] Yes (Must craft 80 HD of magical beasts, minimum CR 3 in the flesh forge who will not owe you service though they will agree to be citizens)

    [] No, you can find your way through the deep paths by your own power
    -[] Command the realm itself to show you the way, this place may not be as sensitive to the action of sentient minds as the Dreamlands, but your own tale has grown considerably since last you stepped into the Feywild (Concentration Check)
    -[] Ask Aife to clear a path, with the aid of her patron she is guaranteed to do so, though there are creatures beyond the Violet Court here who might rally against such a blatant transgression by the divine

    [] Write in

    OOC: The forgotten fey don't really care what you make of them, they have been down here being the bottom feeders of the metaphysical ecosystem for a long time, to live in flesh is to have purpose once more. You can of course bargain for their services once they are born anew in addition to the guidance if you don't want to let whatever you choose to make for them wander around free.

    Here's an edited version of the chapter, DP.
     
    More citizens! They realize they are goin to have to pay taxes right? We may have compartmentalized and regulated death, but taxes are eternal.
     
    @DragonParadox, by any chance, would this allow us to acquire the Fey Creature and/or Half-Fey templates, due to processing these Fey through the Forges to rebirth them?
     
    This seems like a nice selection to me. Nothing classified, like Watchmen creatures or Bio-Constructs, but all of them very useful in their own ways, and they make a nice choice for the Fey spirits, depending on what new form they would prefer. We can always use more of these servitor types.

    [X] Yes
    -[X] Give them each a choice to be reborn as either a Verdant Wolf (6 CR, 6 HD), Verdant Raven (6 CR, 6 HD), or Shadow Cat (6 CR, 6 HD)
    -[X] Regardless of what they choose, each will cost 1,200 IM to rebirth in the Forges

    If they agree to be citizens it's more than fine, since if they step out of the line the law will deal with them.
     
    [X] Buff like crazy and bludgeon persuade reality into showing you the way with your force of personality.
     
    @DragonParadox, with giving these fey creatures bodies in the mortal world, is it implicit that they will be swearing fealty to us or do they think they get to run amok?
     
    This seems like a very good opportunity to earn some good will among the least of the Fey. They are probably extremely numerous in the Feywild, overlooked by their more substantial brethren, and eager to improve their lot in life. Making friendly with this batch could have a big effect in the coming months, once word of our capabilities and generosity spreads.

    They said they were willing to become citizens. Which I think means they are willing to at least follow our laws, if not enter our employment--and that they are open to being persuaded into the latter.
     
    Just throwing it out there... but how often do we get the chance to flex our metaphysical muscles and do something ridiculous like trick reality into revealing the path to our destination to us? :V
