No Deimavigga.

Where was the Sad Magpie meme when we need it?

I have faith. Eventually, we will get that Deimavigga.

... Mostly once Qohor is utterly purged, and we can finally have Garin's attention fully focused on Slaver's Bay again. We can then track down the devils and do a proper ambush and actually get the leaders.
 
Something I threw together so I can have an easier time making a turnplan later.
Did I miss anyone, y'all?

Purposefully avoided people I can't set on either Adventure or Research actions, so no Alinor and most Governors and Generals, those are @Crake's jurisdiction.

Above in mind, I'd also appreciate suggestions on how to best compile a "fuck you, CoS, and your Queen in particular"-combat group, if we are going to go guns blazing next month.
We have several Godlings we can probably take with us aside from Companions..?

Ofc, keeping in mind that we'd also have to keep some P!owerful People in Slaves' Bay, sneaking and killing a lot, too.

@egoo, you are missing all the other stuff we have assigned to the Inquisition. Those forces are also explicitly meant as on-demand combat troops.

Really?
I kinda assumed that stuff goes fully into the shadow realm the familiar dimension the background, justifying the Inquisition's boundless reach and ridiculous on-demand firepower, so we don't have to deal with matters they handle, at least on-screen?
The stuff above is mostly the Units for on-screen action, or at least stuff DP will likely be rolling actual encounters for.
x2 Orphne Fey Lords (CR 15)
1x Falxugon / Harvester Devil -- a patsy for intrigue work
1x Azata, Gancanagh (CR 4) - Garantos
22x Legion Devils - combat reserve
4x Salikotal / Vengeance Devil -- Assigned as killers for the Inquisitorial Stormtroopers

1x Fallen Shield Archon
3x Fallen Hound Archon, 3 levels in martial class
2x Fallen Spyglass Archon, 4 levels in Rogue

1x Very Old Myrkdreki Dragon, CR 15
10x Wyrmling Myrkdreki Dragons, CR 3
25x Plant-Imbued Shadow Creature Cat (w/+4 Racial HD) (CR 6, 6 HD)

19x Glass Golems

100x Vigilant Briars (CR 4)
10x Vigilant Hunters (CR 10)
10x Vigilant Kelps (CR 4)

I mean, sure, we can probably draw from it for one task or the other, but do we actually want to?

We're up to 43 Glass Golems, BTW.

It has always been my assumption, which is why we have a lot of undead meat-shields in the Inquisition, but none in that vague "general pool of stuff".

For example, the Myrkdreki from the Inquistion is Osryx, who has been on a few assignments over time.

I-
But-
Didn't he-


Okay, I guess I'll have to actually slap a name on that drake in the list and keep track of any further outstanding non-minion characters' names, then.
Shit.

Yeah, alright, I'll count stuff we have in "Inquisition Forces" when doing turn-assignments.
I've kinda been doing that subconsciously already anyway, see Orphne Feylords >_<

The two in general circulation are "the twins". They were supposed to have their appearance in the abortive omake series of mine, but I'll hopefully get around to use them somewhere else one of these days.

Just busy with another project right now.

I just tried to do a Google search for Secret Agent Dragon, since the idea of a James Bond-esque Myrkdreki sounded interesting.

Turns out there isn't much relevant artwork available. Also, there is apparently an old movie called Secret Agent Super Dragon that doesn't look nearly as amazing as it sounds.

There's a reason why I leaned a bit on spy comedy tropes when writing Osryx for the parts of Artisans Pride set in Oldtown.
 
So, bringing up old ideas...

Remember the construct swarm made from adamantine fidget spinners with blades? That thing could find some use in our army or the inquisition, right?
 
If we're going to go for swarm creatures, we should go full horror about it. Imperial Steel clad Spider Collective with an at will item of Shadow Jaunt and a 50 charge item of Cold Iron Fetters. Suddenly being buried in a human sized mass of tiny metal spiders, which jump out of the shadows and chain you to the ground, would be pretty terrifying.

If we want to go full cheap shot we drop the CIF, and exploit the fact that Spider Collectives subject anything they attack or engulf to their poison by giving it a wand of venomfire. Bonus evil overlord points if the VF wand comes in a two pack with an Excruciating Deformation SLA.

So the human sized mass of metallic spiders can now jump out of the shadows, engulf you, inject magical acid into your veins, and (temporarily) maim all your limbs while subjecting you to blinding pain.

... is this better or worse than what the Valyrians did with their flesh forges?:V

Give them items is just plain cheesy, they can't operate them without it being utterly silly.

Better to just program those spells into them. A swarm of constructs spiders made of magical metal should be pretty top-end anyway.
 
On that note, we should check if we can make Spellgorged Zombies from creatures with SLA's. They can store arbitrary spells at a rate of 1 spell level per HD, so a 8 HD version could store a full Shadow of the Doom and unload it on command.

Fair enough, I wasn't sure what the exact bounds for adding SLAs like this was and figured we over equip most minions enough that it'd fit in.

For something less cheesy and more creepy, we could give the Imperial Steel Spiders two SLAs and drop the rest: shadow jaunt and Sensory Deprivation. They'd specifically be used for picking up people we want to make a point to, and generally being creepy as hell. just imagine:

Devil Cultist: "... and that is why we must rebel against the Dragon King"

Potential Recruits: "so what's the plan for living through this?"

Devil Cultist: " Bah, let the inbred freak do his worst-"

*Approximately 200 lbs. of dull metal spiders crawl out of his own shadow, engulfing him as he screams about the all consuming darkness he's fallen into*

Refreshingly Loyal Citizens: " It's a good thing we're perfectly happy as things are, right guys? "

We can literally teleport them to our enemies.

This is too cheesy
