@DragonParadox, it should have gone without saying, but the following were assumed to have been in attendance without need for an invitation.

1. The Royal Family, though it's completely understandable if Elia and Rhaenys declined
2. Oberyn Martell
3. Gerold and Alinor Torchwood
4. Every Companion
5. Teana Strycos

And Melisandre wasn't assumed, I honestly just forgot to invite her. Is it okay if we add her in?

  1. The companions are there
  2. Oberyn is still busy from the night before
  3. Teana politely declined citing having to get back to work after all the festival events
  4. Melisandre politely declined

Noted. Wait, is the entire family there? Rhaella I was anticipating, but I'm really impressed if Elia and Rhaenys showed up.


[X] Plan Unique Opportunity
-[X] Get a bonus on all future research in the Fungus Forge by having the Old Gods aid the people working there.
-[X] Raise the ancient Green Dragons corpse as a Zomok with the possibility of being restored as a True Green later in the future after the requisite research is complete.
-[X] Upgrade the Runestaff of the Old Gods with the following:
--[X] Becomes a Legendary Item
---[X] Has the Metamagician, Perfect Surge and Powerful abilities.
---[X] May have any one spell cast into it if it was a Spellstaff, as the spell of the same name.
---[X] Provides Endure Elements to the wielder.
---[X] Runestaff capabilities upgraded with the following at 3/day:
----[X] Find the Path (5th), Earthquake (6th), Rain of Roses (7th), Master Earth (7th), Wandering Weather (8th), Undermaster (9th) (Cast as swift action for 1 use of mythic power, alternatively make it last 5 minutes with 3 uses of mythic power).

Oh right Elia and Rhaenys also did not come. I'd forgotten about them.
 
@Duesal Please consider removing this part of your plan:

Most of the spells proposed as additions don't even have Mythic versions. We'll just end up arguing over what the Mythic versions can do.

Also, having the staff's Legendary power equal the wielder's Mythic power is much too powerful. It also makes the Powerful ability superfluous.

Done.

There's only one part of that staff I really care about getting.

Fair enough, but the issue with that is red dragons are pretty consistent about living in warm places, so my reasoning is that even if they are not going to lose fingers in a blizzard (that would be silly) they would still be uncomfortable in cold temperatures and if you live with discomfoirt for months or years it is going to start wearing on even the most resilient of minds.

Amrelath: *MAXIMUM DRACONIC SMUGNESS*

Gonna lay it out: Vee has a connection to the OG. And to Yss. Narritvely, I see her has closer to Yss (she's bringing him as her +1 to the wedding (as a friend) I believe), but she gets a tonne of her useful spells from the OG. Her PrC is very OG. But... This does not feel like part of her arc, to me.

I wanna see her have the same kind of thematic chapter that Lya and Viserys got.

Big blood scarafice is more Viserys thing imo. Now I'm sure DP can do an amazing Vee Mythic chapter from this, but honestly, I wanna give him something more Vee-like to work with.

[Wait, I know what would satasify me on this, she gets the rank from this, but is unaware of it or some such untill she is doing a "mundane" task, or scolding some idiot for getting themselves hurt, and then... Something like Korra/Toph with the Banyu tree, a broad commune with nature like effect that for one moment, gives her a glimpse of the OG. (Note, she isn't near a heart tree for this, it's just out somewhere).
And then, after a trancendal moment "Oh, so that's how it works", tests her power once, and then gets on with her day :)


Also, I don't think we should speech here, not really. Who are we speeching to? Everyone here has already "bought in" to various degrees already.

So, I'm gonna be awful and present an *prepares to zoidberg scuttle* anti-speech plan. Yeah.

[] I'll admit, I may be one for speeches, but all here know what we are doing this for. What will happen in a few years. So, with that in mind, [Bloodwish Imbue SLA: Greater Teleport to Varys. Have her beside the vunerable people (lisit, Reva, Mores Umber for evacuation), [buff long/mass buffs on all combatants for if we get attacked] (,magic army)*

@DragonParadox Sense Motive: How much of Taena saying no was Zehrys being there?
Also, do we know anything more about his char sheet? (Not asking for now, just wondering if we knew IC :)),

*Oh, holy shit, we should switch that out next level :D super useful in niche situations, so it's better off being used via Mythic Arcana or Miracle (when we get it).

(I'm happy that we're not getting a bunch of mythic spells from this)

DP is asking for how will we perform the ritual also.

[X] Plan Megadeath Metal Blood Funnel Feeder...of Death :V
-[X] *Insert speech here
-[X] Throughs to funnel blood into the tree have been dug previously, this is where most of the sacrifice will be fed to.
-[X] Sacrifice the fiends as per Duesal's list, neatly categorized by type and CR. The Twins sacrificing the polymorphed ones, us and companions, the sealed ones. So sacrifice in that order until we get to the Wintertouched.
-[X] Have the Treants bleed the Ala's before the Tree, Scarbrand, the Winter Hag, then dispel the Amber Sacrophagus while impaling the Wight Lord as the final sacrifice.
-[X] Get a bonus on all future research in the Fungus Forge by having the Old Gods aid the people working there.
-[X] Raise the ancient Green Dragons corpse as a Zomok with the possibility of being restored as a True Green later in the future after the requisite research is complete.
-[X] Upgrade the Runestaff of the Old Gods with the following:
--[X] Becomes a Legendary Item with uses of Legendary Surge equal to its wielder's uses of Mythic Power, recharging every sunrise.
---[X] Has the Metamagician, Perfect Surge and Powerful abilities.

Sorry to further split the vote, but I think y'all have an unreasonable expectation for how powerful the staff should be.

[X] Plan Goldfish
-[X] Get a bonus on all future research in the Fungus Forge by having the Old Gods aid the people working there.
-[X] Raise the ancient Green Dragons corpse as a Zomok. to act as a guardian for not only the Heart Tree of the Dawn Age, but for the entire island on which Sorcerer's Deep rests.
-[X] Upgrade the Runestaff of the Old Gods with the following:
--[X] Becomes a Legendary Item.
---[X] Has the Metamagician, Perfect Surge and Powerful abilities.
---[X] May have any one spell cast into it if it was a Spellstaff, as the spell of the same name.
---[X] Provides constant Divine Favor effect to the wielder.
---[X] Runestaff capabilities upgraded with the following:
----[X] Find the Path (5th), Earthquake (8th), Rain of Roses[reskinned to Weirwood leaves] (7th), Master Earth (7th), Undermaster (9th).
----[X] Include the Hammer of the Waters spell, if enough sacrifice power remains.

@DragonParadox, could you please clarify the actual power of Hammer of the Waters?

People seem to think it's Maximised Apocalypse From The Sky.

Also, reminder that this spell would be massively penalized when we try to cast it on the Plane of Fire or Valyria. It's strictly worse the Shadow if the Doom.
 
@DragonParadox, as an alternative, if we got several hundred HD (up to 500 HD) of Deep Ones as sacrifices and sacrificed it to the Tree of the Dawn Age after it's grown, would that be enough to get the Hammer of the Waters? Creatures of the sea, corrupted they may be, using the weirwood that was old enough to witness the original Hammer of the Waters as a focus.
 
I don't care how much powerful the staff can be. This is a unique opportunity though to get the Hammer of the Waters as a spell.

Casual voters, I appeal to your sense of shiny over cheesiness. Vote for the Summon ala Final Fantasy instead of boring numbers!
 
Honestly, the bonus to future research is tremendously pratical... and incredibly boring.

We can gete more people to throw at a problem.

We can't get Hammer of the Waters any other way. Shadow of the Doom is absolutely fantastic for killig creatures, but doesn't do much to structures and, more importantly, land masses.

Isn't the Zomock bound to the tree? If so, we are basically making a tremendously expensive lawn ornament.
