Yes. Which is why we should not fight a golem indoors. We should fight it outdoors. But it won't go outdoors, so we should bring the outdoors indoors. Hence, removing the roof.
I can neither confirm, nor deny.
That's not going to make any difference... room size and terrain is not an advantage or disadvantage in this case. If we wanted, we could go Full True Dragon shape, but we are not winning this fight by Dragon-ing it.
No, by definition if there is no roof, we can be farther from it than we can if there is a roof, since we can fly and it probably can't.
@DragonParadox needs to call that update "Danger Close".
If it could fly, why would they leave it instead of evacuating it to somewhere it'd be more useful, like literally any battle where the Golden shields would have enough force concentration to stop it getting action-economied to death by the full Companion roster, which we don't have with us right now but theoretically could have brought along.
Even if that's the case, I'd rather not start a fight with a super terminator inside of what could very well be a ritual chamber primed to curse the fuck out of Viserys the moment he arrives.
Spellbane: Dimensional Anchor (and Greater Dispel Magic, Mage's Disjunction and some other "gotcha" spell).
If they hooked their trap spell up to Maegor's wards (the ones powered by some kind of sealed evil) that may not work. Of course if they did that we may find that the keep cannot be trivially demolished, but at least when the siege projectiles start bouncing off seemingly normal stone we'll be forewarned.
Dimensional Anchor might not be worth trying to block. I would be wary of Teleporting in the Red Keep to begin with.
Climactic encounters are great and all, but not at the expense of tactical advantage. We're not even in full combat buff mode right now, and the Lannisters have clearly shown that they're strategy is based on expensive magic items and traps. I see no reason they wouldn't put a nuke under the floorboards, replicate a high grade Tomb Curse with a suite of effects that don't allow for saves, flood the area with anti-dragon aids, or something similarly whacky.
Well, that does imply a few possibilities:
The wards didn't recognize or treat us well when we entered the Red Keep the first time, due to them being at least partially powered by Maegor having the foundations of the keep stuffed full of living people who carry a bit of a grudge against our family.
Point. That does enhance the theory that the wards could be turned against us since the components would certainly be willing if someone offered them the chance. And not just the people, also the sealed evil. Which may not even be properly sealed anymore but waiting for us to step on a metaphorical trip wire so it can come out and also have its revenge.
Better ask @Goldfish or @BronzeTongue. They are much more knowledgeable about obscure spell effects than I am.
I want to say an item like this already exists. Feels like it's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't remember exactly what they're called. Probably something in the 3.5 Magic Item Compendium.
That's a little specific; I think it falls in the realm of what magic can pull off, but not a spell that conveniently does it.
