Well, it seems that a pillar that has stood since the dawn age has fallen. Now we pick up the peaces and make them work for us.

I wonder if we could have used the ritual to strong arm the Star Crowned Queen into becoming part of our empire.
*Insert vaguely racist ranting like an old semi drunken grandfather on thanksgiving here*

Now that I got that out of the way, no. Her whole plan was to subvert the physical realm so that it constantly spat out tales for her and her courts to feed upon like parasites.

She was literally playing out a scheme from the "Lords and Ladies" of Terry Pratchett. Anyone who thinks humans as cattle to be farmed for resources, however prettily they tried to spin it, is getting a sword to the gut.

And that's if I'm feeling nice and have something else to do that day.
 
[X] Azel

Here is hoping that the remaining courts see sense and bend knee, we are decent boss after all according to our other fey.

Need to help Reach as much as possible since most lords and lands lost their magical protection against tons of forces.
 
[X] Plan Cleaning Up

-[X] Main Strike Team: Viserys, Dany, Ser Richard, Lya, Mereth, 4x Erinyes, 2x Vigilant Hunters
--[X] Scout and secure the former stronghold of the Queen, with special focus on her body and the King. Feed on any energy fields that are smaller then your head, have Lya split any that are larger.

-[X] Highgarden "Diplomacy" Team: Rhealla, Umbral Stalker, Osryx (Very Old Myrkdreki), The Seeker, Oberyn Martell (because pettiness quota)
--[X] Deliver one (1) trained messenger raven and an explanation that you have solved the Tyrells Fey problems. Their undying gratitude and unwavering loyalty is appreciated.

-[X] Crimson Court Team: Waymar, Lady Saenena Caleris, Benerro, 10x Erinyes, 2x Vigilant Hunters
--[X] Secure the corpse of the lord and the remnants of the court. Try to browbeat as many remaining Crimson assets as possible into surrendering and bending the knee.

-[X] Golden Court Team: Tyene, Vee, Malarys, Sandor, Valaena, 2x Fiery Dragonbeast, Glyra
--[X] Secure the corpse of the lord and the remnants of the court. Try to browbeat as many remaining Gold assets as possible into surrendering and bending the knee.

-[X] Orange Counterstrike Team:
--[X] Marwyn, Vargo, Sari, Ashin, Qyburn, Leto
--[X] 20x Erinyes, 4x Vigilant Hunters
--[X] 2x Heavy Warstriders, 5x Warstriders, 20x Light Warstriders
---[X] Each Heavy Warstriders carries primarily solid ammo, but each one also gets Super-Incendiary Rounds (each one containing 10x Wildfire, 10x Incendiary Catalyst, 1x Pyre Salt)
--[X] 10x Black Brute, 5x Necro-Kraken, 20x Black Champion, 20x Necrotic Mold, 10x Bloodclot Mold, 5x Greater Bloodclot Mold
--[X] 3x Very Old Myrkdreki
--[X] 20x Glass Golem
--[X] 10x Advanced Sorcerer Creature Kelpies, 4x Fiery Dragonbeast
--[X] See about the Deep Ones forces and start a counterattack if they deem it sensible, or if the Deep Ones try to establish a base on the Arbor. Otherwise, secure everything of the Orange Court that the Illithid have not already stolen.

-[X] Violet Spite Team: Moonsong, Balerion (with Varys in charge), Asha, Theon, Maelor, Rina, Aradia, Kyra
--[X] Seek to get a formal surrender from the Violet Court, offering them clemency if they bend the knee.

-[X] Green Diplomacy Team: Main Orphne Lord, Alyssa Crowl, Danar Crowl, The Misfits, Soft Strider, 1x Verdant Phoenix, Nirah (Champion of Yss), Ser Dregaire, 1x Orphne Fey Lord
--[X] Goal is to at least neutralize the court, preferably to get them to swear fealty either to Viserys directly, or to the Old Gods.

-[X] Azure Diplomacy Team: Zherys, Xor, Garin, Wyla, Adamantine Golem, 2x Very Old Myrkdreki (The Twins), Aife (Herald of the Ferryman), 1x Orphne Fey Lord
--[X] Goal is to at least neutralize the court, preferably to get them to swear fealty to Viserys.

-[X] Indigo Scouting Team: Nuri, Morwyn, Tuin, Sarell, Azema, 6x Wild Hunt Archers, 4x Wild Hunt Scouts
--[X] See what is left of the court and observe for now. If chances present themselves to recruit the remnants of the court, do so.

@Goldfish, I'll do some combat padding once we got the PCs sorted.
Adding the Verdant Phoenix immediately though.

@silvanknight, added Rina, Aradia and Kyra to the Violet team.

@Duesal, added Nirah to the Green team.

Also added a team for Highgarden since odds are, they are aware of what exactly we just did.

I'm not sure about sending Balerion with the Violet Spite team. He needs Viserys or Varys to control him properly, and I get nervous when Varys is that far away from Viserys. What about Amrelath instead?

We need to include Glyra in one of the teams for sure, preferably one that will see some combat. She has an innate ability which allows her to bind Fey she defeats through combat or trickery to her Troupe, and in doing so convert them to her alignment/mindset. She's a seriously strong Fey now, so there's a good chance she could snatch up some really useful additions to her posse.
Trickster's Bargain (Su): Glyra may bind any Fey weaker than herself she has personal defeated by strength or guile to abide by the letter and spirit of a bargain. Can only be used once to attempt to bind any given Fey.

EDIT: @Azel, I would put her on Waymar's team. It's looking a little thin, and she could borrow some of his spells without impacting his combat ability. Duskblades have a ton of spell slots.

EDIT 2: Also don't forget that Rhaella is constantly accompanied by an Umbral Stalker.

Added Varys to Balerion. I'm seeing no big problem there and the Big Guy is really not useful where Viserys is, but this ain't a hill I will try to die on.

Adding Glyra to the Azure Team, since she I think there she has the best chances to bind something useful.

Orange Counterstrike could use Watchman-creatires, particularly Hunters, Erynies, and maybe some two-three dozen Black Champions and 3-4 hundred Black Knights with Mobility upgrade.
Just to be a psionics-unaffecting meatshields for the latter and recon for the former.
 
Swift Eye, a Quickling who haunts the outskirts of Oldtown alongside his troupe has been known to deal with Deep Ones. On the other hand he has helped the Lantern Bearers as much if not more. His greed seems to be the great constant of his being. Due to his loyalty to the court he has been left in peace, though it has been foretold that he will meet an unfortunate end soon at the hands of Deep One agents. He is counted among the Gold faction.
I believe this is the guy the Misfits' first had their villainous monologue cherry popped with.
 
- Added various chaff to the teams.
- Switched Glyra over to the Golden Court team, since skilled diviners would be really neat to get.
- Surgically removed absolutely any semblance of chill from the Orange team.

Qyburn be all Abathur-like.
"The 'Chill' was inefficient. Adapt. Overcome."


Side note, we're totally adding the full account of how much ass we just kicked to the final pre-Reconquest Impetial Times, right?


...and now I have a shitpost-worthy idea.
Add a puzzle to the IT pamphlets coming out in Westeros in the 4th month.

Have it be necessary to collect them all to solve them, and be some mind-twisting shit you'd need int 20+ roll to solve...
And have the puzzle spell out things basically along the lines of: "I am coming to take your shit, Lannisters"
:V
 
Oh I wouldn't be so sure.

You say regicide, I say "New openings in high paying employment opportunities, Apply within!"
Maybe. Personally I see it like trying to recruit Lanna Lannister after nuking Casterly Rock. Plenty of people have the presence of mind to bend the knee to the bigger fish, but some will just tell us to fuck ourselves. Doubly so for heroes literally bound to the Court of Stars through oath and debt both.
 
@Azel, one out of our two Orphne Fey Lords (CR 15) to Azure and Violet respectively as general-purpose guides and fonts of Fey-related skillchecks?
 
Added the X's to my plan and, as a final effort to prevent any chill from creeping back in, I gave each of the Heavy Warstriders ten rounds worth of siege-ammo sized, alchemically boosted Wildfyre. Just in case the Illithid brought some really big beasts that have a hankering for getting shot in the face with bottled warcrimes.

Other then that, I'm decently happy, but will add all stuff people yell at me.

Would it be worth having Bloodraven/Varys join the group facing the Green Court?
