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

[Goldfish]

@Crake, you mind giving me a heads-up for any changes I have to do to the maps on the relevant info-threadmark?

@Goldfish, same for allocation of mirror-visions and Braziers.

I am going to start screwing around with them again for a bit;
Placing down the Slav-Fey we learned of from CoB-interludes,
Dividing Yi-Ti into the zones of relevant Emperor's influence,
and some other stuff, but I kinda remember you saying that I forgot to add some province as a part of our territory the last time, @Crake..?

Same generally applies to anyone who cares as much as a bit about these maps.
If I missed something so far, please notify meh.

Here's the current list I have for MirrorVision locations.

Did we add Volantis or anywhere else that I've missed? We have 5 of the MirrorVision mirrors currently unassigned, plus another 10 that were crafted this month, so we have plenty of potential coverage.

Where should we put them, ya'll?

@egoo, why are you painting over stuff instead of using the layered file?

Click to shrink...

... I don't really remember the circumstances of you leaving then, but I think I didn't want to poke you any more then was needed?
So I have no idea what you used, or how you used, to draw those.

Regardless, I really have no problems drawing over stuff, beyond making everyone's eyes bleed (and I think I secretly love that ), and maybe spending a bit too much time doing stuff (but that's relevant literally to anything I draw).

No changes until after DP gets back to me on annexation rolls.

But besides that, you can color in the Rhoyne in our colors at this point (and Andalos for that matter) on the political map.

Thanks.

Night, everyone.

I will dig up the files and give you a crash course in proper image editing, you philistine.

Shush.

I wont listen, simply because I invested too much effort into drawing over at this point.

I, too, have layers now, in the .Sai-file.

Separate layers for braziers, separate ones for mirrors, separate ones for icons, separate layers for map contours, separate ones for colors, you name it.

Imma fight ya, you technically-minded man!
Ya shall not take away my freedom of shitposty self-espresshun!

Volantis, Snake Port and Sallosh. Reserve a few more for Lorath, Saath and Omber.

We are going to want to buy the Foreign Quarter in Yin at some point. Not "a space in the foreign quarter", I mean the Foreign Quarter. We can build a square in the center with a Mirror Vision set up. We could even make it sort of amphitheater style, have it suspended in mid-air, and give it arena-like depth so you can really pack people in there.

 

[egoo]

...what I may listen to, however, is halp on the "Supernatural"-map for Westeros.

My eyes gaze over 90% of Westeros-stuff, so it is even more outdated than most of the other stuff - the stuff I already asked DP for updates on.

Spoiler: Supernatural-map, outdated by 4+ months

Imma switch positioning for Harpies/Asmodeus, change the location of Timmie's influence, get rid of Lys Fey' and beyond-the-wall Ymeri's activity, remove Corbray Devils and add Slav-Fey we learned of recently... do stuff with Yi-Ti...

But I'm sure there's ways more shite I plain didn't notice or forgot about.

@Duesal?

The map is mostly the same. Not a lot has changed in terms of discovering new threats aside from Asmodeus popping up.

Okay, here's an updated listing, @egoo, @Crake.

This leaves 10 for other locations, such as the Foreign Quarter in Yin once we purchase it. With those 10 in reserves, I think we can hold off on crafting any additional mirrors this coming month?

Sallosh already is under our control. The ones we're not sure of yet is Saath, Omber and Lorath.

Yeah, realized that and edited it, but not quick enough.

We've actually already placed a mirror there.

Looking at those almost impossible SI challenges in the thread, I have a new one for you.

Instead of being dropped in and picking a guide, you get to be Viserys. For 24 hours. Then the companions all simultaneously learn that you're possessing him, and you need to talk(or fight) your way out.

You can't say anything about the meta (and would sound insane if you did). How do you talk your way out of becoming gardening supplies?

I tell Dany and Lya that I have no idea how I got there and penetrated a Mind Blank, and that I would appreciate if Lya doesn't obliterate me when she does soul surgery to get me out of Viserys' head. A Flesh Forge body or a reincarnation would also be nice once they're done interrogating me, and I'd be happy to work for them afterwards.

I will surrender immediately, bank entirely on our recruiting tendencies, and go from there.

Wild Arcana, man, lots of use of Wild Arcana. And some Blood Wish.

Wild Arcana to cast Greater Dragon Ally to Summon another Red Dragon, beat it like a redheaded Red Dragon stepchild, then Blood Wish Mindwipe spells until the Red Dragon is a hollow vessel ready for my consciousness, then another Wild Arcana to cast Greater Mind Swap.

I get my 22 HD Adult Red Dragon chassis and Viserys can have his body back.

Might have to run like hell after this one, but being a dragon might be worth it.

I know our Companions well enough to know that abusing Viserys' abilities in any way will just make them even angrier. At least this way I don't end up hunted down and soul killed via Yss or something.

Nah, then I stick around to explain what happened as best as I am allowed. An Adult Red Dragon is no pushover physically, but their spellcasting is anemic and without gear I would be easy pickings for Viserys and the Companions. All it would take is a Brain Spider spell to confirm the truth of my story.

After that, I start training to gain Sorcerer levels ASAP and work to ingratiate myself to Viserys in order to get geared up.

I do like the idea of murdering some hapless Red Dragon to steal its body.

My first instinct was to surrender, but there is in fact a better solution : Genesis a very time-accelerated Plane and go there. 24 hours can happen really fast!
After this I get home, right? So no need to gather advantages for myself, if I will return to my own body right afterwards.

Otherwise, use Sending to say "trying a new Chronomancy spell, should be back in 12 to 36 hours", Plane Shift away, and then use Magnificent Mansion. They don't have Wish and I'm Mind Blanked, so they can't get in.

@Goldfish, any chance of Mirror-vid'ng all Stepstones isles? We've invested in roads. The rest of our Capital should not want for luxuries.

Add a couple for Mosshold and Everfire Dale too.

That's quite the gamble; spite is our third or fourth strongest motivation, following closely behind looting and paranoia. You might end up getting Tor'd, or locked in a small box filled with a group of baby Nulminds or something. Depends on how freaked out Viserys gets from losing control of his own body unexpectedly.

All of the others end with obliteration or a chance at cosmic power, same rules here. You can't go home unless you pick up a doctorate in planar theory and figure it out yourself.
