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

Reader mode
Each CR 6 creature would normally cost 2400 IM and each CR 2.5 would cost 750 I'm, I think. How do y'all want to charge them?

We can grow them for half these prices. They can possibly be grown for free, too, if they provide us enough corpse HD, though I doubt they keep a Larder like we do.

@DragonParadox, if they did provide use with corpses, could they piggyback on our order this month in order to grow things in to 6 CR using only corpse HD?

They will only be able to get the corpses and/or gold out in time for next months unfortunately.
 
@DragonParadox, I hope we can get more than the usual lore on Deep Ones while shopping? We still have to get lore, but I was hoping to purchase hyper-focused pieces. Specifically detailed information on all Deep Ones types and everything known about them, the history of their arrival in the Spheres and all the major conflicts since then including the most recent one, etc.

@Goldfish I'd say just go full price since we only pay half for creation. It'll be within appropriate CR-pricing for the Elemental Planes and make sure they don't feel they're getting ripped off, and with that combined with the sheer effectiveness of Flesh/Fungus Forged Monsters we'll get repeat customers for sure.
 
I just love this kind of vote!
On the other hand I'm just too busy. It's the good kind of busy (enjoying some time back with my family and especially my youngest siblings who're still stuck following the schedule of French school holidays) but it does stop me from getting too involved in this vote.

Overall, I would suggest going all-in on the dolphins. Making lots of mid-CR stuff is better because it makes it less likely that they'll ask for an urgent order of something powerful when we don't have convenient access to a corpse that breaks the CR cap.

Initial proposal. I didn't go with the full price for stuff, but still left us room for a bit of profit, as shown for each unit type. We don't need to make money here, and I would prefer the Admiral not think we're gouging them so that they'll order more stuff.

Explaining the recycling process, too, but with a future corpse tax of one HD per three recycled for them.

Is this all right, @DragonParadox? He can just tell us how many of each type he wants.

[X] Proposed Vialisk Navy Fungal Forge Exchange
-[X] Explain to the Admiral how recycling corpses in the Fungal Forge works. We will take orders from them using recycled corpses on a 4-to-1 ratio, rather than the 3-to-1 ratio we benefit from.
-[X] Mounts
--[X] Plantblood Dolphins (2 HD, CR 1.5, Cost: 300 IM each, 37.5 IM profit each)
--[X] Plantblood Bladeleaf Dolphins (2 HD, CR 2.5, Cost: 400 IM each, 25 IM profit each)
--[X] Advanced Plantblood Bladeleaf Dolphins (2 HD, CR 3.5, Cost: 600 IM each, 75 IM profit each)
-[X] Siegebreakers
--[X] Advanced Gigantean Bladeleaf Plantblood Manta Rays (12 HD, CR 6, Cost: 1,500 IM each, 300 IM profit each)
-[X] Anti-Mindflayer Units
--[X] Plantblood Bladeleaf Sea Cat (6 HD, CR 6, Cost: 1,500 IM each, 300 IM profit each)

Sure you can look for that, though it would be a roill, the information is not easily available.
 
Did he just ignore that we will not be selling them?

We can make them but it will be his own task to hire them.

If he wants dolphin-like mounts, let's give him dolphins, specifically Advanced Plantblood Dolphins, which would be CR 2-1/2. We could offer Bladeleaf versions for another +1 CR.

He want dolphins that do better in battle with Sharks, he basically want dolphin level intelligence and temperament, but extra fighting power.

So they have to be extra awesome Dolphins, and preferably they would be specced specifically to fight sharks.

Our rule for not selling them only applies to the sapient ones, we can also make animals in the forge, and those we are ok with selling.

Plantblood Bladeleaf Dolphins are perfect for taking out sharks. Their AC is very high, their HP boosted, they have Damage Reduction, and Fast Healing, plus other neat abilities, include their leaf swarm attacks.

Looks like things are about to get busy at work again. If y'all see anything I should change in my plan, please say so now.

Is there anywhere an immunity to mindfuckery I missed in Bladeleaf or Plantblood?

Not quite. The Sea Cats come with the Iron Will feat, though, and Plantblood gives a bonus.
Plantblood (Ex): A plantblood creature counts both as a plant and the base creature's type for the purpose of spells and effects that specifically affect creatures of the plant type. Plantblood creatures can use magic items with powers or abilities that work specifically for creatures of the plant type. A plantblood also has a +4 bonus on saving throws against poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, polymorphing, and mind-affecting effects.

Interlude DCXVIII: Family Secrets

    • Family Secrets ​

    Thirteenth Day of the Eleventh Month 293 AC

    Denys Mallery was confused to be back home, and though for the first few days after his return he was too happy to just be here and not in Castamere surrounded by strangers, however kindly, it had started to gnaw at him. My lord father won't look at me, mother won't look anywhere else as though she is afraid I will vanish like a shadow when you move the candle close and Edric... Edric is keeping secrets.

    The last part had been the hardest to accept. He had been happy that his brother had told the tale of that night if it meant he got to come home, but to think he turned around and was now keeping secrets from him... Was this how father and mother felt when he had kept silent about how he got his magic and why? the boy thought guiltily as he stared out the tower window, quill in his hand but the parchment before him wholly forgotten.

    Not caring that the ink dribbled over the verses he was supposed to be copying for Septon Meril, Denys set the quill down and jumped to his feet, resolved then and there to find the truth of things rather than risk his lady mother crying herself to sleep over some stupid secret again.

    Alas, that conviction alone did not get him the answers he needed. It was a long way down from the tower, one where he could all too easily meet someone who knew he was supposed to be studying, and while his father did not seem angry at him anymore when he came home, more angry at the world, if he got caught dilly-dallying about that could change right quick. I wish I had magic to make me turn unseen, the thought sneaked into his head like a snark into the pantry, as his old nan used to say. The boy was rather happy he did not have any magic to tempt him to try out. The Old Mother had waited who knows how many hundreds of years, she could wait a little longer.

    ***​

    The thump of metal striking padding was loud enough to almost cover Edric's indignant huffs over the blunt sword striking him across the stomach. "Dreaming again, boy?" Ser Lyonel asked gruffly.

    Hard as it was to remember at moments like this that the old master-at-arms always had something of a soft spot for him, silently going along with an unseemly amount of practice last month when Edric had wanted to avoid laying eyes on his father. But after everything he had learned that night in the woods, after speaking with King Viserys, his head was up in the clouds looking for Dragons, not down here close to the earth looking for where the practice sword would be coming in.

    "A bit, Ser, a bit," the young man replied sheepishly, getting his breath back. Looking out over the knight's shoulder he saw his bother looking pale and wide eyed, biting his lip the way he always did when he was about to do something he knew would get him in trouble.

    Ser Lyonel followed his gaze. "You'll be needing a bit of a breather the? I'll go for some water..." With that he walked off, giving the two brothers as much privacy as one could hope to have in the middle of a training field.

    "What aren't you telling me?" Denys asked, sounding more hurt than angry. "Do you know where father's going to send me, mother doesn't. She is going to worry again all because of the stupid secret."

    As it happened Edric knew for a fact that his mother knew as much as he did about the plans for Denys' future, but they had decided not to burden a child with the knowledge given that one of those possible plans involved treason, at least as far as King's Landing was concerned. Unfortunately, it looked like Edric had not been as skilled at keeping that secret off his face.

    "Is it because I'm a witch..." Denys' voice caught in his throat.

    Cornered, Edric instinctively fell back on the sort of answer that came natural to any elder bother. "You can't be a witch, Denys, you're not a girl."

    The teasing thankfully got him to step back from the brink of crying. "You know what I mean," he huffed. Then to Edric's surprise his hand moved through a strange magic gesture and he heard his younger brother's voice whisper in his ear by some sorcery. "Come on, no one's going to hear like this, where's father sending me?"

    "Up North to White Harbor, for a month or two at least while he considers other options,"     Edric finally replied, hoping his brother would be able to keep this secret better than the two of them had hidden his magic to begin with.

    OOC: I thought about doing this as an interlude from Dany's PoV as she spoke to the kid, but it would not click, so here's a Mallery brothers interlude. Viserys knows about the White Harbor move and the fact that Denys is safe from divination in character.

    • Good to see Denys made it home.

    Has Edric realized yet that we shot him so full of Dragon juice that we accidentally turned him into a 3rd level Beguiler, @DragonParadox?
