I'm going to step in here before things can get too heated. You guys can just cast telepathic bond and plane-shift to the astral with him. That way he can do his job and you can talk to him thoughout.

Telepathic Bond:
You forge a telepathic bond among yourself and a number of willing creatures, each of which must have an Intelligence score of 3 or higher. Each creature included in the link is linked to all the others. The creatures can communicate telepathically through the bond regardless of language. No special power or influence is established as a result of the bond. Once the bond is formed, it works over any distance (although not from one plane to another).
 
@Duesal do you give a shit about the lives of any of the people he is supposed to be saving?

I am pretty sure you didn't, but I could easily be wrong.
 
So, rough asessment of threats/goals...

1) Tiamat and Golden Company. Actively seeking out an alliance with Emperor of Yi-Ti. Will become near unremoveable if they get it. Have dragons.
2) Illithids. 4(?) major bases on Plane of Balance, including an army-breeding complex, and a facility dealing with time-manipulation. Unknown amount of outposts (that we, however, can divine on).

In the meantime:
0.1) Essarian Undead. Large groups of mindless undead, some very salty sentient undead controlling them. Seems to have been coaxed into operating by Golden Company.
0.2) Ymeri/Lollth/Harpy Queen/Black Goat/Sseth/Drunken God/varied other dumbass deities on PoB that need to have their cults dismantled.
0.3) Fey of Court of Stars. May be allies, but we need to be very careful with them, and certainly not rezz their King, however much they will promise us an alliance for that.
0.4) The 15th. Just wants to die, and that's very bad because Greater Void is coming, and he's very likely to do everything he can to hasten that shit.
0.5) Warlocks of Quarth (who seem to be doing some very bad things right now, but are far enough from us to not feel them yet)
0.6) Drow are a thing. Sothoryos is shit in general though, and Riz'neth's people will need our help regardless.

3) Brazen Throne. Will likely be done in 5-7 months (based off the timeline given to us by Shaitan spymaster on infiltrating the city). Need to be done efficiently, since we will need as many forces of Djinn and Shaitan avalaible.
4) Westeros. We need our army ready to take it as blodlessly as we can, because otherwise we'll just have a resource sink, in face of all other bullshit.
4.1) Lannisters have some dragons, lots of gold, and connections to extraplanar mercanaries.
4.2) Most of Chosen of Seven aren't set on cooperating, and we generally need to deal with their faith.
4.3) Maesters are scheming.

Overarching threats:
a) Others and Greater Void. Seem to have an in to attack Yi TI according to rumors we heard (and people there have no idea for what shit they are inbound). Have massive amount of barrows laid around. Will take countrol of all Undead around by the time they attack.
a.1) Very least we can do, is to evacuate literally everything beyond the Wall.
b) Daemons. Want to fuck shit up, will likely appear at any times they can.
c) Demons. See above, only because of "CHAOS CHAOS!" and not "Life is shit, I want all to die"
d) Devils. Mammon is our main enemy right now, with Dispater being likely to move agaisnt us (with us saving Zathir and taking Siduri's oath).
e) Bloodstone Emperor is a God, and has countless Rakshasa. Any bets if he's going to fuck shit up?


TLDR: We should continue doing what we were doing.
Kill off tiamat's forces, deal with PoB-illithids, fuck up Brazen throne...
While looking into dealing with the 15th.
Like, seriously, he's probably a Divine proponent of Greater Void destroying reality. If only so he can die.

Panicking doesn't help at all, and unless we are keeping to our course efficiently, we'll not get enough forces to do anything.

@Goldfish, @Duesal, seems about right?

Yes, because I sympathize with people who are eaten alive on a primal level. However, I also prioritize strategic concerns over a few because taking care of this saves more people in the long run.

Are you being deliberately insulting or was that your genuine assumption?

I remember years of almost constant disregard and cruelty at the hands of a few people and I'm genuinely uncertain if that's actually true or just the paranoia talking again.

You are being a little paranoid, take a half our break from the debating, then come back, most of us do want to save people, we just have different opinions on how to do it.

I do not think anyone here was trying to be cruel in any way shape or form though as to disregard... well I have missed posts , glossed over things that should have been considered more deeply IC and OOC. The best we can do here is to be more attentive of each other.

I am sorry if you every felt bad here over the years and will do everything I can to help.

Is Heaven's Shore the only surviving settlement in Heaven? Because I would rather ally with a weak settlement, that isn't under the boots of devils.

Yes. There might be a few tiny groups trying to eke out a living elsewhere, but Heaven's Shore is the only settlement worthy of the title. In no small part because that Legion of Hell is keeping away the Daemons and Far Spawn.
 
Isn't a Pit Fiend in charge of things there? I'm not too sure what help a Deva is meant to be?

Are we trying to start an insurrection or someting?

Edit: One of Yrael's Archons makes me say yes. Asmodeus might be ticked off if we do though...

So we need to clean up the Daemon's and Far Spawn first, then we can work on getting rid of the Devils, though this do simplify things when it comes to Heart Trees, if Heaven is already so defiled, as to have the only major settlement work for Hell, then sacrificing Fiends and Far Spawn isn't going to make anything worse.
