Side note, we are at over
1900 HD in sacrifices we can freely throw at OGs to empower WoE, and that's
without any Research/Recruitment-worthy subjects.
With some ultra-rapid summoning
on motorcycles, we can
outdo the 1.000ft-tall tree we have in SD, for this tiny trinket.
It had
2187.95 HD
Would be
worth it too, as OGs would face Timmie in most categories, and would have to hold off all on their own in
several including Magic.
OTOH we are mostly erring on the "Save" side of "Slay" in regards to Aegon because he got played by Tiamat and we know how that feel be.
And pissing in Tia-chan's cereal to the maximum overkill smug trollish degree of "I just stole TWO of your high priests, bitch!" is totally us.
But the rest of the Golden Company? Tiamat deliberately fostered the most back-stabbing-est bunch of treacherous fucktards she could and that is apparently her whole modus operandi, because she's been snorting Abyssal Cocaine since prehistory. Even one of her Dreamer priestesses realized she was a goddamn demon coke-fiend.
I'm sure a lot of them are genuinely loyal to Aegon, but it has to be a minority. Tiamat has the guy on a short leash I'd imagine and is the jealous sort. Probably made that aspect of their relationship, "I rule, not you, you just get to say the words" pretty fucking obvious, which might have been around the time Aegon realized he bought a bad bargain.
IC, Viserys expressed it'd be
a bit sad if F!Aegon does, but Timmie being hurt is more of a priority.
Yes, saving them
would be preferable...
But also a huge hassle of
diplomancing around, what with us likely killing their True Father (like fuck is Illyrio getting alive out of this, I say), and most of the people they know (because GC, duh).
Anu is alive tho. Yey?
I don't hold much hope for us succeeding in turning them, and if they get all the power we tear from Timmie
and keep a grudge against us...
Suboptimal doesn't even
begin to describe that.
re: Drunken Doofus, say thee NAY.
The other Gods we have some standing relationship with, have traded favors with, or even have some transactions with. We have basically gotten them hitched to our wagon before bothering them with our rather insane and yet cunning plan. They're invested in it working.
I don't know Dionysus in this setting. We haven't done anything with him except murder some of his hijacked minions.
That's the extent of our relationship--your sole play on the Prime Material was to get suborned by a madman and we had to clean up your mess. It's going to take a little more effort on both our parts before we have anything resembling a working relationship.
Fair enough, but if we
aren't doing that, then I have no interest in going back to Maenads now, having forgotten them for over a month IC. They are quite irrelevant at this point.
. Hope that you'll have fun as much as we do in this madfest.
