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

Reader mode
Would it be ironic as hell if we ended up fighting in a Trial of Seven as part of a framejob to accuse us of a crime?

Well, 'Geralt', specifically.

Buttercup is obviously just a bard who knows how to dodge. :V

If you want to help the girl you need to boost her until she awaken magic, otherwise you might as well throw her to a giant crap due to how inflated her pride will get. Imagine, getting back at her uncle for winning the archery competition, thinking she's hot shit, and then in the first real adventure she loses an arm or something.

If she doesn't awaken to magic, we can always sneak her some books to study.
 
So, I wonder, have we ever pulled the "Disarm and eat a weapon with our cloak" successfully?

Because there wouldn't be anything more frightening for some random warrior than suddenly getting their main weapon disappear into our cloak, but I don't remember seeing it.

We've made a few attempts, none that succeeded though.
 
@Crake

Start by giving her a Heroes Feast and some nice Greater Heroism. Then a potion of DIvine Favor and hit her with Brilliant Inspiration.

For Ser Fossoway, I'd suggest a subtle They Know and some Pugwampi's Grace.

Best to offer the former as some mild interest of Buttercup and him sharing something fancy he got from the Fey, purely because he knows what it's like when others think you useless and he wants to see her succeed. (Well, and rub it into Ser Fossoways face, since he was an ass to Buttercup.)

For the second, I just want to see if we can get away with cursing someone in broad daylight under the Feys eyes. For shits and giggles.

Edit: Nearly forgot Cat's Grace for the girl. And for the melee, use this here against Ser Fossoway:

I don't want to throw around curses, but using that spell in the melee seems fine and a good idea for humiliating him further.

So those spells should give her a long-lasting bonus of +7, with up to +10 for a more crucial bout (and best of two rolls for that one), but is there something more we can do to boost her rolls? More long-lasting buffs, I mean?
 
[X] Meet the Fossoway girl, and as you had aided the heir to House Mallery, so might Buttercup aid the girl in crowning herself in glory, and to follow it a song of the blunderous and blighted Ser Fossoway, rotten to the core, made a fool by a green apple finally ripened.
-[X] As far as the competition itself, you intend to make a name for yourself as a scoundrel and a jester, but also someone clearly sticking up for the little man, so when Ser Fossoway makes a clear villain of himself at the competition, you narrate events in song to make it certain people remember him that way.
-[X] Should the Knight like his honor avenged, ensure it is made known beforehand that someone had signed the minstrel Buttercup up for the melee as some kind of joke, though given the man's character one he is likely foolhardy enough to dare.
--[X] Start by giving her Cat's Grace, Heroes Feast and Greater Heroism. Then a potion of DIvine Favor and hit her with Brilliant Inspiration, for a more crucial bout, explained as something he received as a gift from a fey maiden who's heart he stole (though implied more jokingly--or pitifully--as something he was handed to stop making advances towards her). You'll disguise all of that, as though only two of those spells diverge from the Bard spell list, and low level ones at that, you kind of want her to get away with it, too, using Cloak of Khyber and Magic Aura. You will use two Mythic Power to make Greater Heroism Extended (lasting 40 minutes) and Cat's Grace persistent, as casting 9th Level spells sends too big a wave to magical senses (not to mention it being a waste of high level spells, not that you ever cared about that) so as to remain more subtle.
---[X] This way, she should have at least a +7 bonus to attack rolls throughout the competition, up to +10 for a more important bout, best of two rolls. [Subject to change]
----[X] Why go so far to help some girl he's never met? Well, aside from wanting to see her succeed since he's got a soft-spot for the underdog trying to prove themselves to the world, liking the idea of writing a song (when don't we?), Ser Fossoway was an utter ass to Buttercup. Now you can insult his friends all you want, because they'll probably prove you wrong and they're more than capable of taking care of themselves, but no one makes fun of the bard. The lute is the most deadly weapon in the world, and you intend to show people why.

Best to wait for @Goldfish, since this is about everything I got that boosts her attack rolls. There's a bunch of stuff that would boost Strength instead, but that's useless for archery. Though I think unless she is entirely clueless on her own, this should be plenty. This is already a mid-level chracter worth of attack bonus.

The spells I've picked out have the advantage of all being on the Bard list though, except for the potion of Divine Favor.

If you want to branch out into other lists, the best pick would be

which translates to +20 on a single roll.

True Strike and Divine Favor can be nice potions. I think I'll stay to your cover, as it implies we're a bard, and I also intend to disguise it with Cloak of Khyber and Magical Aura.

True Strike doesn't work due to needing to be cast / consumed in the round before you shoot, which would be obvious if she does it in the middle of the competition.

Also, if we use Miracles, we can make the Cat's Grace Persistent (lasting all day) and the Greater Heroism Extended (lasting 40 minutes). Or, you know, use a point of Mythic Power each to cast it as if Miracle was used.
 
So many heads will shake this day, mark my word!

And the trollings... Are we sure that we did not inhale some of that Fey Juju-flu that permeate this morass of incompetence?

Sheeps don't have the ability to smell the mythical scent of gold, the only animal with that power is the duck, and even then it's a rare and wondrous thing.

More seriously gold actually don't have a smell, so how do a Red Dragon smell of gold?

TIL.

But I guess that just means in ASWaH some dragon deity, not naming names, decided gold needed to have a distinctive odor so as to make it easy to tell false metal from the real deal.

Edit: The above is pure sarcasm, as I know that if a metal has no odor, that would be an indicator of its own that it is actually genuine gold.
