Adding those too. Mainly with an MR ??? unless it's common knowledge for whatever reason.

Not really. I don't quite remember their builds at the drop of a hat, but Asmomellech has only low mythic stuff. The other two are a lot more dangerous.

We'll find out more IC eventually.
And when the Deep Ones come in force I'm sure we'll see a Mythic Aboleth or a Mythic Ulitharid.
Only if there was a mythical aboleth in the fortress that we destroyed by attack through the Plane of Fire. But I don't remember this anymore.
Or if such characters appeared in the last 500 pages that I have not yet had time to read

There's an entire city of Aboleths in the Shivering Sea, so we've got good odds one or two of them are Mythic. Possibly epic levels, too.Only if there was a mythical aboleth in the fortress that we destroyed by attack through the Plane of Fire. But I don't remember this anymore.

Well, here we can only guess ...
Then don't forget the warlocks of Qarth. According to DP somewhere let slip that they have their own demiplane, and we also met the aftermath of the experiment of one of them, the Living Ship ... I'm not sure, but they seem to have dabbled in time magic too.

The Warlocks are no doubt rocking some bullshit. And then there's Euron, and the Yellow Emperor of Carcosa, etc etc.

Hmh.
If we are invading in the end of the 4th month, the general plan seems like this to me:
3rd month:
[] Qohor Invasion (shit there doesnt seem to be "it can wait"-variety) -- Free Action
[] Slavers' Bay (personal Viserys-involvement might be needed to clamp down the place for the Reconquest-y measure of time)
[] Illithids (diplomancing people on PoW to actually get us a semii-United front from Marid cities against the squids).
[] Dealing with the Seven's Chosen (maybe including Lucan? I honestly dont know what is out IC, let alone OOC game-plan about him at this point).
[] Starting to act against Lannisters (gotta see the info Marwyn hands us over the 2nd month, and look into the matters with high-grade stealth assets like Shadow Stalkers).
[] Minor stuff: Sarnor clean-up, Targ Isles clean-up, a few Westeros-specific adventure locations, maybe a raid on Efreeti if enough characters available (one of the long-stalemeted fronts could use us, for one).
4th month:
[] Stalemating the Illithids on PoB until we feel safe enough to go reconquesting Westeros (attacking 1 or 2 key facilities while trying desperately to not lose he shit out of our infrastructure. Wanna bet they have found reliable and OP way to move and attack in-land?)
[] Dealing with CoS insomuch as we can (not enough info to act so far, but "peace was never an option" seems to be the case)
[] Moving into Westeros in-full.
All makes sense so far, y'all?
Just trying to get an idea for turnplan-together-throwing, however much later it may yet be until it is relevant.

The Dryad Queen of Goldengrove is also confirmed to have mythic ranks.

I just caught back up and wanted to recommend something for the ghost scholars. Amulets of Grasping Souls allow incorporeal creatures that wear them to interact with their environment and make any equipment they're carrying incorporeal so they can phase it through things. Being selectively corporeal has all kinds of utility, Though it's biggest draw is the bit about using charisma for strength. Maybe RAW allows for incorporeal creatures to get their strength score back with the ghost touch gloves thing, but it seems really weird to effectively reduce that problem to a lack of leverage rather than something about their substance.

Hmm, Seeing that we already have a semi-functional space ship, could we design satellites that have Serpentstone recorders in them too map the whole of Planetos?

Satellites are one of our eventual goals once we have a better IC understanding of outer space and orbital mechanics. They'll probably be purpose-built sentient Constructs able to communicate with a control station in real time. Gotta love magic for shortcutting so many otherwise insurmountable obstacles.

All part of the R&D process.
It would be ideal if we can learn as much of what is needed early next month so that the necessary modifications can be made to the Dauntless while it is still under construction.
If we get that far would it be too cheesy to make killsats? Even something basic like dropping lead weights from orbit (and using major creation to skip lifting the projectiles) would be pretty great. We might need to provide a little alchemical assistance to stop them from burning up in orbit, but it'd still be useful.

Lead is a horrible idea, since it will just vaporize from the heat.
The best would be Wolfram, but I don't think we have that available in large enough quantities.
Otherwise, ceramic plated steel rods.
Firing will be rather tricky though, since you basically need a Wyvern to deorbit the projectiles.

Couldn't we just drop Iron Golems as they have Fire Absorption?

Far too costly to be practical. We have plenty of option that would be much cheaper, once we have a reason to develop them IC.
I wouldn't rule out using Constructs as a steering mechanism, or even as the kinetic impacters themselves, but they would be mindless and relatively cheap.

That won't work.
If we conquer Qohor the conqest and following clean-up and dealing with all the cultists and stuff will almost certainly need Viserys' attention.
Similar to this month, I don't think we can make a conquest for free.

"FREE ACTION" means that
That's how DP chose to handle the Sarnor, anyway, and so I assume every consecutive action of the sort.
The general gist of the 3rd month in such manner would be:
Viserys and maybe a few other ppl focus on Qohor, other Companions manage everything else.
If time is left in the month, Viserys swings by Slavers' Bay and burnminates
Also, thanks for actually answering.
I understand that I follow in the footsteps of a certain someone by bringing up a topic again and again and again and asking for people's opinions and attention, but in this case, I just really, really need discussion to properly fill in turnplans without unneeded contention.

If Viserys spends his month with Qohor it's not free for him.
At most he could swing Slaver's Bay as free, but only if he really just shows up for an hour and burns what his people point at.

Eh, it is mostly a misunderstanding based off phrasing, then.
