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

We could try to bury a big bomb under the Slaver's Bay cities.

You know, to solve the Devil-issue eventually, since we can't keep stalling them like we do now forever.

Unlikely. As much as the situation on Slaver's Bay is most dire, the ones that will sprout out of the place will be the Proto-Gischari. The people who once could contest with Valyria in their Golden Age.

I doubt that they would not be able to discover whatever traps or explosives that we plant on that god-accursed place. And with 8.000 years in their hand, it would be naught but assured.
 
[:V] We can set up a few millenia's worth of randomly-generated spam mail being sent to Abraxas, Tiamat and Asmodeus.
Just gotta put it somewhere the magic didn't break as much as on Westeros.
 
@egoo, three options:
- leave Serpents Sin somwhere to grow the Demiplane inside by a tremendous amount
- embed the then empty Well of Souls into a Leyline to recharge it over the millenia
- map remote Heart Trees for later stealing, if they survive into the present

Initially I was off-put by the concept, but thinking further on it, I can't offer any good arguments against it.
If it is properly warded, and buried in a place we are sure won't be disturbed for these millenia (are there any? That we know of?), there is little chance of shit going wrong.

...Well, sans the Artifact gaining full sentience and fucking off.
But that's a possibility even with a basic magical calculator left in the 'now', time's a factor.

Assuming we'll have a Well of Souls remaining after the Drowny business, sure.

Won't the Planes being severed off the Material fuck with that, though?
Little risk leaving an empty vessel behind though.

Worst thing about it is the sliiight connection to all the Gods that took part in creating it.
Not a good thing to lose if we roll shittily, but nothing critical.

Fund it.
Like, 100% worth doing.

Only option 3 is reasonable, and it would be very time consuming. Would rather not meddle at all. The first two are potentially very dangerous and/or risky.
 
Awww, I was kinda hoping to make stable timeloop wherein Yss knew of us so knows to encourage his people to save eggs and in time help us since he knows he will, and you know Yss of all gods would have kept a secret to make sure timeloop wasn't messed up.

No amount of loot is worth getting stuck in our own shattered mirror special or something.

When we do go to do this thing, we really need to buff up to the gills. In particular I think we need False Future and Enchantment Foil.

The first because we can't take off our mindblank items and they aren't exactly subtle, the second because it provides some great bonuses to identifying mind magic and pretending that it actually worked on you.

They aren't perfect but they only need to be good enough to avoid tripping alarms, not stand up to divine scrutiny.
 
How would we go about finding the Heart Trees here, actually?
I don't think that talking to OGs directly is a good idea. Even if the dotards would most likely forget about that in the millennia afterward.
Do we just Divine stuff? I recon Heart Trees in this age would be divination-retardant to some degree at the very least.

There is no reason why they would be. Keep in mind this is after the Pact, there are no enemies of the Old Gods around on the mainland at least.

Since it's after the Long Night, wouldn't the Others be reasonably active?
I mean, mostly north of the Wall, but this is the age in which they brough the Night King to their side.

@Azel Note on that, we could look up what number the current Lord Commander of the Night Watch is, if it's number 13 we could spare ourselves a lot of work in the future.
 
Huh.
So even in age of full-er magic they did not protect their trees proper.
Dotards, indeed.

Oh well, all the better for us I suppose.
We can make a comprehensive map in about a day, and visit the locations in our timeline with Commune with Nature and Stone Tell to find if any fossilized trees remain.

Well yes, but it's summer now, firmly summer not 'edge of winter' like in the present.
 
Artemis1992 said:
Didn't Westeros constantly have winters, every few years, if minor ones compared to the past or coming Long Night?

Were those not enough to give the Others some ability to act, particularly in the times of highest magic?

To a degree yes. Not enough that you would spend limited heart tree powers protecting them from divination. There are more direct ways to protect them at the moment.
