Yeah, I don't see this loot as particularly useful.Damn, the sweet siren call of Schmuck Bait loot stole our rumor post away from us.
Excellent sacrifice bait, though.

You left out the Will save DC of the cloak's curse, @DragonParadox.
If that curse could be cleansed while leaving the other powers intact, the cloak would make for an extremely nice piece of gear for a Companion. Is that something we can do, DP?
Date nights for Waymar and Tyene turn out so much different than what most teenagers would expect.

Fixed, thanks.
The Old Gods maybe, but nothing certain, the cloak might just get destroyed.

I wouldn't be particularly sad if it ended up destroyed. @DragonParadox, if we pay the Old Gods to fix it and they accidentally eat it, can it count as a sacrifice to them?
Also how much HD do we need to get rid of the annoying curse?
i could try to do two interludes and then another update. Would you guys like me to try, with the understanding that we might not get to that fourth part for the day?
- Unfortunately not, it's a completely different mechanism.
- 60 HD to try

Could we get back-to-back rumors posts?
I meant two interludes as in another one right now and then the next update also today. Since there does seem to be a lot of interest and I did promise. Essos and Westeros rumors coming up.
Yi Ti will be next month so I can have a reaction to the trade fleet in there too. War news from the Planes after that.

60 HD would definitely be worth the attempt, IMO. That cloak is fantastic. I would have to sit down with a calculator to figure up what it would cost us to produce something with the same effect, but off the top of my head I can tell you it would be much more than a Wyvern and less than a Moonchaser, but not by as much as you might think.

@DragonParadox, assuming the Old Gods don't decide the cloak is delicious, does this qualify as Artifact Study Fodder for Lya?

Well, it's supposed to be a serious artifact.
Better way to think of the costs is this:
Step 1: Become a Fext, without the drawbacks of being Undead.
Step 2: Add a bunch of command-related SLAs.
It's all up to DP of course, but I suspect making the cloak safe to use would negate some of the Undead-related benefits too.
Not for the purposes of advancing her runecraft, studying the key and the great barrow does however.

Just sat down with the calculator (screw doing work at work!) and figured up how much it would cost to reproduce the cloak. There is a bit of ambiguity on pricing effects which have uses that only work once/week, but even being conservative, to completely replicate all of the effects of the cloak (except with DR/Adamantine instead of DR/Glass or Obsidian), would cost approximately 125,000 IM, or more than a Moonchaser and Wyvern combined.
Having all of the effects the cloak allows at 20th caster level is amazing...and amazingly expensive to duplicate. If we even had any 20th level crafters, which we don't.

Not for runecrafting, though that's certainly good to know about the key.
More making artifacts in general, making them wholesale and on command instead of relying on once-in-a-blue-moon surges of inspiration like Viserys' Archduke Cloak.
That will save is particularly annoying, and I wouldn't mind losing features of the artifact to get rid of it.
@DragonParadox, if we pay extra, in the event that the effects do end up being changed (which would be less than preferable but wouldn't be terrible) could we have a payment for the Old Gods to stick druid effects in there?

I don't mind back to back interludes.
- Artifacts will never be easy to make, just by the nature of what they are, but yes the more she studies the more she will get a feel for making them in a planed manner
- The Old Gods will change it as they break the curse and yes putting more power into it would help make it more powerful (though not mitigate the chance of destruction)

Well, there was much of the 13th Lord Dustlin left in that creature we fought, so we kinda did already communicate with what's left of the First King.

You realize this gives us a hilarious ability to boost people, right? Have someone don it, be on hand to help such succeed in a DC 36 Will save. Remove it right after. Voila, creature now has DR, amazing SLAs, attribute increases, immunity to cold and undead immunities without undead traits or turning actually undead.
Downside? They look somewhat hideous, something easily fixed if so inclined with a freely given permanent polymorph effect like our Greater Ribbons of disguise. Back to original appearance! Or, well.. Better. No one says your polymorphed form needs to have wrinkles, scars and assorted deformities after all. Repeat the procedure among Viserys' more fanatical supporters who want to make more of a difference again and again and again.

It's not really intended to keep working after removing the cloak.
Like literally every other magic item out there?
It's a magic item, it does not kep working when removed.
