I'm not sure, but given that Undead don't need much in the way of personal space and can be packed in like zombie-sardines, we can probably pack quite a few of them into each of those Efreeti ships we captured on the Valyrian raid.

At the very least, we should pack each ship full, along with strategically placed surprise!Undead being released in other locations.

We're also planning to use them against the Deep Ones, and there is bound to be quite a bit of attrition among the Undead units during those fights. Good thing we can make more.

I would cram each ship full with as many undead as we can, leave only a tiny command crew there that teleports out once the course is set, then crash the vessels at full speed into the Sultans palace, releasing the undead after impact.

Even if all ships are shot down, it's a serious provoke and will draw a ton of attention.

Could we somehow make it more likely for them to successfully complete their crash landing? Because rather than merely provoke, if we succeeded in landing hundreds upon hundreds of undead straight into the heart of the Sultan's power, imagine. All the heads that would roll for letting security slip that far. We would make the Brazen Throne do more damage to itself than we ever could.

I was thinking the same thing. Was also pondering on the best method of turning each of them into as powerful a bomb as possible, without using Explosive Packs.

I wonder how thousands of Shrink Item'd clay vessels full of cold water would react when the impact of the ships suddenly causes them all to revert to normal size rather than the shrunken cloth-like consistency produced by the spell? Millions of gallons of Cold water crashing into a river of molten iron and brass should be interesting, at least.

I'm so excited by this... we need more Efreeti-looking ships. Maybe Yrten and co. will provide?

Don't forget Melisandre, Siduri, and the rest of that group who are busy subverting a fleet of Efreeti ships, with an eye toward taking control of an admiral. We might end up with quite a few additional ships.

And the mind controlled Efreeti to pilot them! :evil:

The Shaitan will be really surprised when we take "raid on a Brass Mint" and turn it into a fucking full-scale assault on the City of Brass.
 
Can we make Wights? it would be quite effective and leave a pretty nasty mess behind us as the Brass Throne has to deal with undead for months on end.

So, ah, is anyone going to throw together a plan for more creatures (be it plants or undead) to assign to guarding our places of interest..?


Also, as for sultan's palace, is there a way to make a single-use teleport item that will move all of the Undead on the ship once it lands somewhere in the space surrounding it?
@Goldfish?

So that no one can get to exits and gun them down before they manage to get out?

Would make cleaning up a real nightmare for Efreeti - especially if any of the ships breach through any place with anti-teleport wards.

Gate would be the closest. Not that we couldn't afford to produce scrolls of it.
 
@Crake, @Goldfish, using the Heart of Ice and its Fimbulwinter is still in the plans for the final raid on the Ciry of Brass, and not the "attack on the mint"-one?

We can make an additional plan for more Heart Tree guardians like those we grew last month. No need to get fancy with it.

Unfortunately, Teleportation on that scale isn't really possible. Gate could move a large number of Undead, but not in the manner you are suggesting.

Single-use Feather Fall charms would only cost 5 IM each. We could equip thousands of Undead "paratroopers" and pour them out over the city like a rain of death as the ships come in for a crash landing.

Buh-
We have more locations than tha-
W-

*sigh*
Whatever, I'll draw up a plan for more Undead and plans and their distribution to the locations I outlined.
Expect unreasonable numbers tho. You don't leave stuff like that to a paranoiac.

@Azel, any recs on the Undead best suited for guarding (against squids and devils) outta that list of yours?
@Goldfish, same for the plants.
 
Don't forget to vote, or make a variation of my plan, if you want to purchase more. @Duesal?
