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

Reader mode
@egoo, please add a minor action to start the diplomatic efforts to organize a secret Kingsmoot in the Iron Isles in the middle of the 4th month. Justification would be Harlan the Reader seeing the need for a clear and strong leadership of the Iron Isles, since Westeros is visibly coming apart at the seams these days, and the secrecy being necessary to prevent foreign meddling.

Edit: To be clear. We don't organize that. Harlan will. We just give him the order to do so.

Ummmm can I make a suggestion DragonParadox? To the entire thread.... Maybe we could not kill Baelish just yet...... His hold over Lysa Arryn is useful right now. We could use that to manipulate Lysa through manipulating Baelish and then through that influence the Starks through their common Tully connection. And then when Ned Stark goes to Court in King's landing we influence him to denounce Joffrey as illegitimate and incest (maybe through Jon Arryn's secret notes). When Baelish organizes Ned's downfall by handing him those notes is our opportunity to turn Ned Stark. This is based off of the Game of Thrones show. IT is just an option I want to bring up before Baelish is dead and we could spend several years wringing the last bit of use out of him.
Littlefinger is a great deniable and useful proxy in the Seven Kingdoms.
A multi part, multi prong likely convoluted and requiring a year or several to bring to fruition.
Basic outline that I just thought of
1. Forge Jon Arryn's secret notes containing just enough to convince Ned Stark of things like the incest
2. Have Ned Stark go to King's Landing as the King's Hand
3. Have Baelish pass along those secret notes.
4. Kill off or make Cersei or other Lannisters kill off Robert Baratheon
5. Ned challenges Joffrey's right to the throne
6. Whatever this quest's version of War of five crowns is breaks out.
7. We save Ned's life. We now have an in to negotiate with Ned and recruit him and compelling reasons to make the North swear to us.....

This is basically Baelish's plan in the TV show only subverted and utilized by us to..... turn Ned Stark from the Baratheon-Lannisters to us......

Someone please tell me if this is possible.... Please the countdown to Baelish's death has started.
I can think of no better use for him than line to hold the hook that holds the bait to reel in Ned Stark.

The thing is we're not going to be Ned Stark's friend, and he's never going to like us. We're planning on balkanizing all of Westeros, including the North. We could pull off a plan to have Ned be technically in our debt, but that's not going to erase what we're planning for him.

Also a bigger problem with this is that waiting for Ned to get down to King's Landing means we postpone the conquest by like six months to account for medieval travel time.

I wonder if the prophecy regarding Ned is still valid, after all supposedly Robert can still die by simply letting nature take its course on King's Landing.

It's definitely invalid by now. Prophecy in general isn't set in stone in this quest, it's only a glimpse at a possible future. Back then, Bloodraven couldn't have possibly guessed the things we'd achieve.
 
That was back when Brynden thought Viserys would gear up and zerg rush Westeros the minute he could topple Baratheon--which to be honest was shortly before we conquered Tyrosh. It would have been messy, but I bet we could have taken and then held King's Landing, and then it would basically just be up to inviting people to take a shot at us. A more even fight, maybe, but we had good odds.

And then of course, in hindsight, we would have been rolled by the Fey.

Not that we gave them that much thought back then.
 
Tyrosh would of been a true Civil War all across Westeros. Very even war that but Viserys could have won. Lots of things we would need to do at short notice during the war. Probably would of needed to make some deals with certain lords and Fey. Not sure what our starting strategy would of been. Trying taking the Riverlands, Stormlands and Crownlands at first would be my guess. Then prepare for the Westerlands, Vale, Reach and North. Wait to see how the situation is before deciding what to do next.

Yeah, the Fey would have forced us into accepting Feywild 2.0 for the entire Reach, and at that stage there wouldn't have been a damn thing we could have done about it.

At that point we only really had Dorne, Royce in the Vale, various downtrodden loyalist houses scattered throughout Westeros who we hadn't contacted yet, and the North super reluctant to march against a powerful sorcerer king who was friendly with the Night's Watch. After taking King's Landing and capturing Robert, we would have prioritized hunting down Lanna since she was the biggest challenge against us, but beyond that it would mainly be flying intimidatingly over various castles until reluctant lords bent the knee.

It doesn't matter how obvious the truth is, some people will still try to fight a dragon.

Would of needed to use our bannerman levies for a lot of things. Be a big part of our armies. Use them more carefully in field battles and sieges.

Bannermen levies would probably just be used as garrison forces when they're not being beaten into proper legionnaires. They're truly worthless in a proper fight. They are literally peasants with sticks.

I don't doubt we'd be forced to rely on them in some capacity, but we would avoid it wherever possible.

That would be our hope yeah. Just don't think our enemies would of allowed that. Probably had to use them in certain battles because they decided to make some kind of move. Legions probably be doing more of the awesome stuff while the levies do the easier stuff.

When you can get it wrong, but everyone knows what you're talking about anyway.

>This thread.
 
@Azel, imma add ot in a few hours, no access to my pc yet.

Any other MAs you'd like us to do, @everyone?
Turnvote (at least Hero Actions) seems to be pretty much done otherwise.

Also, @Crake, please hash out with @Azel something something making Qohor Inquisition Outposts something something.
 
Our embedded inquisition assets in the city had this to report:

"Shit's fucked, yo."

That will be all, gentlemen.

Good to know that the reporting is short and to the point.

Can we also get bases up and running the Northern and Southern Forest of Qohor? We need to get a grip on the wider infection.

@egoo, not necessarily a minor action, but a reminder to DP for a followup on the Triton action so we know what we need to tempt the tribes away from Yi Ti and into Sorcerer's Deep's aquatic district.
 
if we do set up inquisition bases in Qohor and it's areas they will need to cycle personel every so oftain or have some good (mind)healers present to make sure people don't go insane from lovecraftian horror

[] Operation Woodlouse: Given the information provided by Archmaester Marwyn, you have enough information to begin the preparations for the assault on Casterly Rock, to dig out any dug in Golden Shiels, Lana Lannister and Tywin Lannister, while preferably taking Casterly Rock intact. To this end, a team will begin to locate the portals leading the the caverns beneath Casterly Rock on the Plane of Earth and use these routes to infiltrate them. To do this, they will use Divinations to narrow down the possible locations, then scout on foot in the Plane of Earth. Once the caverns are infiltrated, they will observe the wards and, assuming they can remain undetected, plant minor, burrowing undead with the Lead-Clad template and Necrotic Molds controlling them. These undead will then begin to map the caverns and resume spying on all activities until the day of the attack.

Please add 5 Hunter Bioconstructs, 10 Lindworm Undead (to be crafted) and 10 Greater Bloodclot Molds (to be crafted).

I didn't want to add them before we actually voted to make them, but it seems unlikely we will do so before the turn-vote and they are integral to the plan.
