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

Reader mode
Alright, here are @Goldfishs notes. My amendments in red.
-The Hunters Moon and crew (Moonsong, Theon, Asha)
-The Queen Rhaella and crew (Diana, Lothos, various Leshy, six Advanced Druid Seaweed Leshy, Little Valyrians, etc)
- Valeana and Dawnfyre
- Nuri
- 2x Large Galleon, 6x Medium Galleon, 6x Small Galleon
- 16x Advanced Druid Creature Lotus Leshy // with our new production run, I want one of them on every ship for buffs
- 3x Erinyes
- 6x Verdant Wolf
- 6x Giant Fungal Darkenbeast
- 12x Minotaur Fighter, organised in two squads
- a few Bulabar and human shipwrights for repairs on the way, aided by the Leshies Shape Wood spells
- 1x Herald
- 2x set of Elemental Wyrmlings
- 48x Lesser False Ravens for comprehensive scouting (We have several hundred now) // 3 per ship
- 16x Greater False Ravens for scouting, spying, and coordinating Lesser Ravens // 1 per ship
- 1x 5th level Wizard
- 1x 4th level Wizard
- 1x 5th level Archivist
- 1x 4th level Archivist
- 1x 5th level Sorcerer
- Breath Taker and Blight's Bane will be invited to join
- at least 32x Triton warriors
- as many traders as the Tritons want to send with the expedition
- 2x Colossal Advanced Fungal Manta Rays
- 2x Whispering Brazier // if we deal with Devils, better have backup communication
- 16x Inquisition members to keep a lookout for Devils
- 32x unofficial Inquisition members that will secretly monitor the fleet for infiltration

Cargo wise:
- 1 million IM in luxury tade goods // filling up a whole fleet with fancy shit is expensive, but so will the profits be
- 200,000 IM in gold, for purchases, bribes and tribute // we will most likely need to offer tribute to the Azure Emperor
- 300 pounds of Valyrian Steel weaponry
- goods to take:
-- alchemical goods, exotic woods, steel goods, fine clothing and jewelry made in the Stepstones
-- Tyroshi dyes and pear brandy
-- pelts and exotic woods from the North and the Wall
-- Myrish glass wares
-- Ibbenese wale products
-- some amount of Tolosi saffron
-- Nathene silk
-- sea silk from the Tritons
-- exotic fruits and pelts from our holdings near Sothoryos, especially Painted Lizard skins and feathers
-- gems and rare metals from the Plane of Earth
-- luxury materials from the Plane of Air
-- Summer Island goods like chocolate
-- Fey goods from Braavos and Lys
-- Fire Whale gems


Thoughts?

Dawnfyre, not Ember. That's Joran's dragon.

Edit:

Also, Hunter's Moon.

Why not Able Learner?

And do you truly need that many extra skills on someone that has the Beguiller list?

Why take Able Learner? She already has pretty much everything on her class skill list.

As for extra skills... Yeah. I wanted a social character with sneak-rogue skills, who also has some arcane skills. She could be decent at either role, although it's in social skills that she truly shines (those synergy bonuses...).
This is also a bit of a vanity project. She's wasting skill points in skills like Profession (Courtesan) or Disguise (I've seen it used for makeup) just because I think that they're cool and fluffy to have in-character.

Fey goods from Braavos, Lys, and Myr, and goods from the Summer Islands like chocolate. Everyone loves chocolate.

Maybe even luxury food kept fresh in containers of purifications?

I'm wondering if for a special commission, just one among all the weapons, we can have the buyer purchase any enchantment on the Valyrian Steel weapon of up to +2 or something.

They start at +2, so adding modifications has the next integer cost of +3, then +4, and so on.

Valaena's dragon is named Dawnfyre.

I would also include our 5th level Sorcerer. He hits very hard for his level, and the sooner he reaches 6th level, the better.

I would increase the number of Verdant Wolves to six. Their SLAs could be extremely useful if we're attacked.

Include a MirrorVision mirror, too.

We'll have at least one Herald ready by the time the expedition departs, if we want to send it along as well.

Fixed.

Added, though I don't know why you think Myr has fey goods?

It's actually Dawnfyre. :oops:

But close enough. At least it's clear what you meant now.

@Duesal the Myrish drove their Fey out into the wilds. Because they decided they didn't like the meddling. So they don't have any dealings with their local Fey... because the local Fey is basically been told "go away Fey".

They've got a fey infestation in their countryside. Judging from Lady Phassen, they've probably hashed out some kind of deal with those fey and have probably been trading with them.

We can of course charge through the nose for it given the rarity of the material and the rarity of enchanters skilled enough to work on it. I don't mind if we don't do it, I just felt like it would be a great way to increase the prestige of the auction a bit further.

I think just having them informed they can reach out through our trade post contacts that if they want any custom enchanting done, they are more than welcome to order it through there.

Though to be honest, until a few dozen more of our Wizards and Archivists have gotten their crafting feats, it'll be awhile before I'm willing to offer commercial enchanting work. We're finally moving into the realm of having the thoroughput to equip our own military and state institutions with magical goods, if just barely. Large scale proejects like the Moonchaser don't help--and we'll of course have bigger ones.

Those are all worthwhile, mind you. I don't fancy getting into an aerial battle with Tiamat's Drakes or Dragons without having literal heavy artillery cannons to shoot them down with.

I think you're misunderstanding me.

I was fielding the idea of one commissioned enchantment.

Only one.

I have zero interest in making commissions standard, or even offering them at all outside of this one deal.
 
@Goldfish can quibble over available enchanter time then.

I'm still waiting until the wishlist gets a bunch of items added to it as he suddenly finds new things everyone needs. :V

Why else suggest to take the items off the front page?

Those skills are something she should have as extra skills by the skill training system, DP did allow that you can learn extra skills though studying, and those definitely qualify for that.

1. Fixed again.
2. Added.
3. Done.
4. We don't have one free and given this is a fleet, we could only really show stuff on a single ship, so I don't see much point.
5. Gladly. Done.

I've also added 16 Inquisition members in uniform and 32 hidden Inquisition informants. Just in case.
 
You know... after looking at the full load-out of the expedition...

If we add a few Legionaires we could probably conquer a country or two with that fleet...


@Goldfish, how many Rise from the Deep scrolls do we have? The spell can also be used to keep a damaged ship from sinking and giving the cargo value, that's something very, very great to have.
 
@Azel, add some Bulubar too, so that they can repair the ships on the go. If we add plenty of scrolls, we can keep some in reserve to prevent a sinking, and have them repair it, and even add to the fleet's numbers so we can carry even more trade goods back, to make more money.
