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

I'll trust ya'll to push on with dismantling GC but not rushing it while we still have to prepare their downfall everywhere else.
I'll go for a nap naow.

Again, remember the remains of those Glided (i think) Devils we pulled out of his court, the super-historical remains of a Yi-TIsh guys we got from delve to snek-city, those 2 Yi-TIsh we got in clockwork bodies on our fleet, and a need to meet other "emperors" to get mroe context and fuck GC over further/
 
[X] Ask Tyene and the others to explain their mission, that they were sent not only to attempt to begin working on establishing normal diplomatic relations with Yi-Ti, but also to ferret out the agents and machinations of a group of our enemies who had fled from Western Essos and who we discovered were attempting to establish themselves as a power in Yi-Ti.
-[X] Have them give a brief explanation of the Golden Company, the GC's current alliance with the Bitch Queen, and what they have learned of the GC's operations here.
--[X] Ask that the Emperor allow our agents to continue their work infiltrating the conspiracy we have discovered, at least for a short while longer.
---[X] Offer up the skulls of the Devils we accidentally Summoned from Yi-Ti who were infiltrating the Emperor's court, and ask to allow them to take part in the interrogation of the traitor's skull. If possible, try to learn any True Names he may have known.
----[X] Only if Tyene deems it appropriate, and her contacts don't indicate otherwise, she will also broach the subject of a lore exchange between the Empire and our Imperium.

We sacrificed those long ago, but we have the skulls.

With Mammon actively doing that shit in his court, I think it's safe to say we have at least one more common enemy beyond GC here :drevil:

Could also add that we'll gladly share of our lore on enemies to all (Void, BS Emps, Devils, etc.) - expecting him to do the same of course.

May be a faux pas however.
Are we meeting him in person as Viserys? That sort of info may be the kind that should be offered face-to-face.
 
Could also send such a mageling, to act as Court Wizard, so as for the Emperor to slowly be appraised of the world's dangers while enjoying arcane protection.

It has been plainly shown those people are pretty sad against anything magical.

There's a number of bonus objectives in such a move.

1) Show a taste what close partnership can provide.
2) A very obvious line of communication to the foreigners right there for anyone interested.
3) Gathering of data in terms of culture and day to day happenings a strike force of PCs can simply not deliver (no time!)
4) Surreptitiously learn more about Kami by observing such in their natural environment, the eventual aim being to integrate such into the Imperium in a smooth fashion.
5) XP for the mageling, what with all those social encounters and assassination attempts.

He clearly has access to lesser mages and priests.
Unless we send a companion we won't impress here.

Thanks, plan updated with skull gifting.

As for meeting in person, I'm sure we will eventually, but not yet.

It's a good idea, but like Artemis said, would require that we station someone of higher level than we can spare.
 
Once we establish diplomatic ties, we can invite the Emperor to send emissaries to SD to establish an embassy, and vice versa.

That'll be neat.

How long until the fleet arrives in Yi-Ti, @DragonParadox?
 
!
@Goldfish, please add requesting access to all True Names the summoner knew - as we made it our policy to summon any dangerous Outsiders close enough to act on Plane Material.

Even if he can take care of it himself.

Even Rackshasa's TNs are going to be useful one day too, that's for sure - we but need to find a way to ignore BS!E's aggressive complaints at taking his toys.

Added.

Need more votes, y'all.

@Goldfish should we also bring along the Yi Ti souls in clockwork bodies in our service to meet emperor?

@DragonParadox what about the Yi Ti girl Tyene made contact with the Garin's own contact when they first got there? Also how well has the trading fleet been doing in their mission?

The ensouled Constructs are currently with the fleet heading to Yi-Ti.

I don't think they're too relevant yet, considering they have been dead for thousands of years.
 
Damn it, I wish I was awake when the choice was made. We probably would have gotten more Legion Devils had we just banished the ones that said no.

Anyway, @Goldfish, lore trade? Permission to copy the Yi Tish libraries would be worth a significant gift in tomes on magic.
