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

Reader mode
This is the pose Viserys will be using tomorrow, considering he will look like the following:



The dead wyvern included for sheer irony.
 
The melee will soon happen. Who will win? Buttercup the Bard or Ser Geralt the Brave......Its gonna be Geralt but it will be fun.

Geralt and Buttercup will fight to the end, having taken all comers, only for Buttercup to bow out at the end, and then raise his lute and perform a song on the spot of Ser Geralt who brought a bard to a melee and miraculously got him out of there alive all while being ganged up on by like FIFTY KNIGHTS or something.

They will have an epic duel worthy of legends and MirrorVision reenactments, then they will disappear from the field as if they were never there just before they each struck what would have appeared to be a fatal blow upon the other.

No, no! We have a feast to perform at later!

Edit:

And won't that be surreal for Lord Owen? Having had a King perform songs at his own feast, only nobody will ever know it. :V
 
Well if Richard wins the Joust he gets the crown of flowers to crown the Queen of love and beauty correct? Oh, that will be interesting, to say the least.

Nothing says they can't reappear in time for the closing feast! :ninja:

Buttercup: "Lords and ladies, I assure you that we never left, for we remained safely ensconced within the hearts and mind of all those present who witnessed Ser Geralt's magnificent performance and my own pitiful attempt to mimic his battle prowess."
 
Buttercup, loudly 'whispering': "...though between you and me, I was just holding back."

Ser Geralt: "Just as we were holding back laughter at your performance, Buttercup."
 
If everything goes to plan, I wouldn't be surprised if a handful of the fae spontaneously assumes the roles of Buttercup the Bard, Ser Geralt, and the rest of our entourage, to continue adventuring after we depart. The Inquisition agent who ends up having to report on all this is going to be all kinds of confused.

Do we routinely cast Disguise Weapon? If not, we should probably do so for this. Dark Sister would find a way to stab Viserys if he actually used another weapon, but she's somewhat recognizable. Even if they don't realize what blade she is from the start, Dark Sister is still made of Valyrian Steel.

Additionally, on the off chance we don't have a crit defense already,Twisted Innards Is a cheap way to get a 75% chance to ignore the extra damage. Do we need it? Probably not. However, giving your organs the ability to dodge is hilarious, and the look on his face when Viserys just ignores a critical hit would be funny.
 
Y'all are having fun trolling out, and meanwhile I can't help but feel like the Fey are just biding the time to reveal us in the most inconvenient fashion :/

@Goldfish, are we sure that at this buffing-point, Viserys won't straight up cut through the swords of the challengers by accident?
:V

The Fae don't actually know it's us, not wth enough surety to just go out and say so. They just know it is somebody who is powerful and therefore important but also has a somewhat fae-like sense of humor, which a list that includes us and also all the big time Fae in the Reach.

I'm assuming our disguise is comprehensive enough to change Dark Sister's appearance. That's just part of the overall disguise.

No need for Twisted Innards. Viserys is now using all four Heart of X spells, making him immune to the extra damage from Crits, Sneak Attacks, and other Precision damage.

He can easily use the flat of Dark Sister's blade if necessary, which will be obvious to many participants and spectators, making his performance even more memorable.

"I've caught you now!" proclaimed the middling fae, as he held onto the toenail of the mythic tier, adult red dragon.

The fae should be genre savvy enough to avoid transforming a trickster's yarn into a cautionary tale.

Nothing less than a Mythic Fey Lord should be trying to ruse cruise Viserys at this tourney, and at that point I see it as more likely they will be more subtle than ham-fistedly trying to put a stop to our comparatively light-hearted pranks. After all if they fail they will look like giant tools.
 
'Buttercup': "Oh Fishmonger, oh Fishmonger, come quell your daughter's hunger..."

Buttercup plays through a jaunty tune. Everyone happily applauds his raunchy song.

Suddenly a Fey Lord trips a trap, using some McGuffin to snuff out our glamour.

Dread Sorcerer Viserys Targaryen appears!

Viserys, seamlessly talking over the Feylord in to the dead silence of the feasting hall: "And now ladies and gentlemen, the great bard Buttercup moves onto the main performance of the night, with such a glamour as to spark the imagination. Let me tell you of an exile, a scorned sorcerer, dreadful pirate and would-be King, and the City of Demons turned City of Angels. I speak of Mantarys of course, and the fated battle against the Master of Darkness, Demoncaller, spellbinder, the Listener..."

Viserys improvises a song with a theme on the play he helped modify and after a fashion played a leading role in.

Viserys, doffing his feathered hat and redonning his Buttercup guise: "Alas, I am but a humble bard. I'm sure the genuine article would have delivered a better re-telling."

Fey Lord: "... touche."
