Think of it this way: by looting a Dragon you are making a (very long-term) investment into its corpse!
Just think of all the corpses a single dragon could provide!
Efficiency!

@Crake, me being sleepy doesn't help, but I realise there must be some disconnect right here.
When do you estimate we'll start our war on the illithids?

Edit: Side note, it feels as if everyone is forgetting we are here to get his dudes so that our dudes dont have to die fighting Squids.

He is also friends with several Emirates we haven't looted yet.

Curb your expectations people, we need those forces.

I mainly want my trophy out of this. Also the things Qyburn could do have me so very tempted.

This is no good, we have too many things expecting to blow up.

Everything else aside, the Sarnori and the Qohor's forge need to be dealt with before we start the war, imo - they are too easy to explode all over us as a second front :/

You're basically saying we need to invade Qohor and Norvos. Those two are basically a package deal. The latter can't afford not to go all out if we go after the former. That will take way too long. We could probably have a slugging match with the undead somewhere in that timeline though.

If it can hold off for just a couple months, that would give us maybe another couple months to finalize preparations for the raid on the City of Brass.

Does that sound reasonable to ya'll? Two more months to marshal our forces before moving on the Deep Ones?

We can't really afford to delay Westeros to anything past the sixth month--and if we do, it's going to be bad. Really bad. Those extra two months make all the difference, changing the enemy's geopolitical and military situation from "we can fight a war" to "we will burn this continent to the ground before we let you take it from us". There's literally no way we can solidify our control over the Reach, Vale and the rest of the troublespots for more than three months in totality without it becoming obvious they need to fight like they're trying to make us lose, not fight like they're trying to win.
 
It really seems like:
Deep Ones: starts in 2nd month - given room to 3rd month.
Westeros: Starts 4th month - given room to 5th month.
Efreeti : "Starts" 6th month.

I'm still hella uncomfortable with Efreeti-war schedules. Even if DP post-ruled they dont matter now.
We are already at the point the Shaitan spy-maser told us they'd be using the shop to attack the city- and we'll likely get the attack started in 6-7 more months at minimum.

We are in way too many compromising situations to start several wars at once, too.
 
Qohor and Sarnor can explode at any goddam minute. The Raid on the Brass bastards is coming up soon, we are trying to fuck up Tiamat this turn, Westeros needs to be invaded, and a thousand other things. Then there is Slaver's Bay and ain't that a cesspool of disease and devils. I cannot believe I am saying this but we need more PCs.

Honestly, fuck conquering those places, as much "fun" as it'd be to fight Eldritch stuff-

We just need to ensure they don't get the Forge up and running, and I'm all for fucking blowing it the fuck up if we can't invade them soon - those are Doomsday devices for a good reason.

Or rather lack of good reason.
Valyrians.

Ergo, it's a delve, an infiltration - and probably overall a somewhat short mission, but one likely requiring the highest of firepowers.

No, I'm pretty sure we still have three months in the window of time the Shaitan Vizier gave us. Time has been moving about three times slower IC than in OOC, so it just seems like it's been longer.

The advantage of the raid on the City of Brass is that there should be relatively little time invested in it leading up to or following the attack, at least from a Viserys and Companion standpoint.

It's what happens when your ambition is literally "conquer a hemisphere and then industrialize the fuck out of it". That's basically shouting from the rooftops "COME AT ME BRO" because no one can afford to let us do that. It is harder to shift assets to Planetos than it is for us to just create them there using local infrastructure.

I'm honestly over recruiting a third dragon, especially another evil one. Let's embrace our inner murderhobo and gank this dude, book him for Qyburn, then render him down for sacrifice or fleshforging.

Don't worry. I am just half joking. This dragon is a wanted criminal no one will miss. I like the idea of collecting that hoard and prestige of taking them out.

@egoo is it possible to add a minor action this month?

I'm not touching the list after it got voted on*, a gentleman's agreement not to abuse my "Absolute Power!!!", if you will.
Sorry.

You can freely try push through an idea as a regular "what do you do now?"-vote happens, or just pitch it now and see if the thread picks it up.

*except for phrasing and spelling, I'm often shit at those so I tend to come back to the list for that alone. Not changing the meaning in the slightest though.
 
Just went back and checked, Mahuroos Tepani gave us the mission on the 8th day of the 8th month, 293 AC. The time frame he gave us was six months or a little past that, depending on the vagaries of the war. That gives us between two and three months to launch the raid.

We've made a couple significant raids on the Efreeti since then, however, and the Djinn and Shaitan have hit them hard as well, along with their being continuing rebellions from their Salamander slaves. All that might have combined to push things back a small amount, but I wouldn't count on it.

Yeah I typed it out then realized we were raiding the Shadow fortress also and thought it would be much better after we get stuff from there.

I was about to suggest a trade with the Orphene. They hunt templates for us, we give them loot.

Edit: Hell once we take over the castle we can give them that...if they want it that is.

It's a good thing we have, for example, an enchantress we could use as a PC. Who has reason to be loyal to us as long as we keep her out of reach of her family.
 
While this is a lot of fighting in a relatively short time frame, our assets utilized for each conflict are relatively distributed. The ones most effected by the Deep One war for example being mostly our aquatic creations and specially hired mercenaries/gathered allies. Tiamat will pretty much only involve Persons of Mass Destruction on our end. The Brass Raid will only involve specially made Undead and a hodge podge of elites in assault groups, plus the party. And Westeros being the only one that actually involves our formal military involvement.
