@DragonParadox, you need a bit of time for Ymeri, right?
I definitely would not say no to some time, no.

That was more of a request by me for you to stall a bit.
I've blown most of my work-time yesterday and today on invasion planning.
And there's still a personal project I'd rather try to get on the road finally.
I see. I can definitely stall, there are some more distant interludes I would like to get down before the pacification begins in earnest.

A Teana interlude would be nice. We haven't seen anything happening in the Scholarium for a long while now.

Well, the fortress is nice.
How are we gonna ensure it is not infiltrated for about half a year now? Until we get on with killing off the Efreeti economy at the moment they'd be most vulnerable to that?
Our enemies, plentiful as they are, are all but guaranteed to try and do so just to fuck eith us - it isn't like they know what reason the Fortress serves, they'd just see it as an installation that is somehow important to us.
I think, the best we can do is to stuff it full of Watchman-creatures, on land, on water, and underground - and then hope the wards and the constant attention would discourage all but the best infiltrators existing across the Planes.
Around a 300x Watchcats, and 200x Watchmoles should do the job of making a tight 24/7 net over every corner of the Fortress.
Maybe also adding something with Telepathy+Mkndsighr combo to cover the entie place - not sure what though.
@Goldfish?

We have a fundamental advantage here, in that there are no civilians in the area, once the construction is done.
We can definitly only let vetted personel near the fortress, which makes infiltration infinitly harder than into any regular city (where too many people come and go to check them all with any invasive method).

@DragonParadox, it isnt like you were gonna drop Ymeri as a single chapter, though?
I think you can just write about the fight, it'll be several chapters, then there's the aftermath for us to handle (looting the remains of her court, having Burny bless his chapel in SD as thanks, us oratoring at people as a result of 'heroic actions' of the ships' crews, etc).
Azel would have the time to write the Citadel shebang, methinks

Why don't we make it an active military base? Staff it with Legion personnel, a group of Praetorians and Inquisition agents, and keep a large contingent of our available forces there, many of whom are Watchman creatures.
We could also form a dedicated defense group for it as well, as you suggested.

Channel Vigor: Select one of the following effects, which can be changed as a Move Action. Currently using "Mind" effect.
Items:
Fractal Eye - Active: Concentrate
Description: This blood red crystal wrought in the semblance of a multifaceted eye, perhaps from the eye of some strange being, for not even Qyburn can tell where the craft of life ends that of unliving matter ends with the Deep Ones possesses sort of pseudo-consciousness entering a seemingly symbiotic relationship with any psion willing to implant it in their forehead. Once implanted it will rant the wearer power according to their power and station.
Abilities:
CL 1: Sense: The wearer can manifest clairvoyant sense at will. Aura Faint clairsentience;
CL 4: Gather: Continually grants the wearer a +10 competence bonus on Diplomacy checks made to gather information.
CL 8: Concentrate: Continually grants the wearer a +10 competence bonus on concentration checks.
CL: 11: Penetrate: Grants the wearer a +2 bonus on manifester level checks to overcome a creature's power resistance.
CL 15: Repudiate: Allows the wearer to manifest dispel psionics three times per day with a +20 modifier on the dispel check (the wearer uses the +20 modifier in place of his manifester level).
Attuning the eye to a different ability takes an hour of meditation.
Special: Though implanted the eye takes up the same slot as a pair of glasses or a lens as the rudimentary consciousness within appears to be 'jealous' of such items.
Symbiotic Staff - Extra Uses: 2
Description: Grown from the Ivory of some nameless sea beast and the tortured minds and flesh of ilithid who failed the Elder Brain in some unspeakable way now known only to it staffs such as these are now the preferred weapons of its enforcers, in a cruel twist of irony.
Ability: As Greater Psicrystal Staff
Symbionts Included:
Should the user even be confused for more than 8 consecutive rounds the staff will attempt to consume their mind and usurp their body to some no doubt mad and incoherent ends. Will DC 35 to resist devouring.
Skin of the Psion:
Description: Wrought from the flayed outer membranes of 'lesser psionic beings' this graft if the only one not possessed of any observable sentience though if one listens carefully it is posibile to just make out a faint wailing wailing just on the edge of conciousness.
Ability: This psychoactive skin grants the wearer 7 bonus power points per day and power resistance 21 or in the case of beings with higher base Power preexistent grants +4 to it

Channel Vigor: Select one of the following effects, which can be changed as a Move Action. Currently using "Mind" effect.
- Limbs: You gain the benefits of a haste spell.
- Mind: You gain a +4 competence bonus on Knowledge, Listen, and Spot skill checks and on ranged attack rolls.
- Spirit: You gain a +6 competence bonus on Will saving throws and Bluff and Intimidate checks.
- Torso: You gain a +6 competence bonus on Fortitude saving throws and concentration checks.
Items:
Fractal Eye - Active: Concentrate
Description: This blood red crystal wrought in the semblance of a multifaceted eye, perhaps from the eye of some strange being, for not even Qyburn can tell where the craft of life ends that of unliving matter ends with the Deep Ones possesses sort of pseudo-consciousness entering a seemingly symbiotic relationship with any psion willing to implant it in their forehead. Once implanted it will rant the wearer power according to their power and station.
Abilities:
CL 1: Sense: The wearer can manifest clairvoyant sense at will. Aura Faint clairsentience;
CL 4: Gather: Continually grants the wearer a +10 competence bonus on Diplomacy checks made to gather information.
CL 8: Concentrate: Continually grants the wearer a +10 competence bonus on concentration checks.
CL: 11: Penetrate: Grants the wearer a +2 bonus on manifester level checks to overcome a creature's power resistance.
CL 15: Repudiate: Allows the wearer to manifest dispel psionics three times per day with a +20 modifier on the dispel check (the wearer uses the +20 modifier in place of his manifester level).
Attuning the eye to a different ability takes an hour of meditation.
Special: Though implanted the eye takes up the same slot as a pair of glasses or a lens as the rudimentary consciousness within appears to be 'jealous' of such items.
Symbiotic Staff - Extra Uses: 2
Description: Grown from the Ivory of some nameless sea beast and the tortured minds and flesh of ilithid who failed the Elder Brain in some unspeakable way now known only to it staffs such as these are now the preferred weapons of its enforcers, in a cruel twist of irony.
Ability: As Greater Psicrystal Staff
Symbionts Included:
Bane: Must connect directly with the mind of the user via the spine (or equivalent biology) where it will consume 1 PP each day, a feeding only just sufficient to keep it on the wretched edge of life. The act is painful enough that the user must make a DC 15 will save each day to avoid becoming confused for 1d4 rounds. The staff is ever hungry so if one is minded to feed it more often the bearer may draw even greater benefits at their peril
- Invigoration
- Kenosis
- Greater Power Echo x2
Extra Uses PP Cost Will Save to Avoid Confusion Rounds Confused on Fail 1 3 20 2d4 2 9 25 4d4 3 27 30 8d4
Should the user even be confused for more than 8 consecutive rounds the staff will attempt to consume their mind and usurp their body to some no doubt mad and incoherent ends. Will DC 35 to resist devouring.
Skin of the Psion:
Description: Wrought from the flayed outer membranes of 'lesser psionic beings' this graft if the only one not possessed of any observable sentience though if one listens carefully it is posibile to just make out a faint wailing wailing just on the edge of conciousness.
Ability: This psychoactive skin grants the wearer 7 bonus power points per day and power resistance 21 or in the case of beings with higher base Power preexistent grants +4 to it

You should have him using False Life and Heart of Earth for long-term Temp HP every day. That would be 10+1d10 from False Life and 24 from Heart of Earth.
148+1d10 effective HP is pretty nice.
EDIT: Oops, forgot her was an Arcanist. Can only have so many 4th level spells readied to use for now. Never mind on Heart of Earth.

So trawling for info on the Lannisters(best be prepared and all that) I found this tidbit
Lanna was, as of two months ago in-world, around level 15. Assuming a fair few things she is at most level 17 right now. Meaning that there was around 20 Lannister mages with around this level of power.

Darleth did good, I think we should start paying back.
What is the 'easiest' Runewarded location we'll take the soonest in the Reconquest?
I think letting him at it while we go Reconquering is the reasonable amount of gratitude shown.

I don't follow your reasoning here. How does that equate to there being 20 Lannister mages of roughly equal power to Lanna?

Technically the North is already ours so we can send him to Winterfell.

Oh right. Sorry I forgot to pull out the relevant tidbit for that. DP said that there were 20 mages of Lanna's caliber in the organization.

Added.
Also changed his powers a bit:
- Fuse Flesh -> Breath of the Black Dragon
- Psychic Crush -> Leech Field
Given the experience in the last battles, he really needed some AoE capabilities and 6th level Arcane spells opens up an amazing avenue for this. At his current manifester level, Breath of the Black Dragon is a 60ft. cone, 65 ft. with Invigoration active, and with Battlemind Link, he can thus cause enemies in an area to suffer -2 on their saves against his own and the linked casters spells, as long as the creatures are hit by both. Also, say hello to Thanatopic Necrotic Skull Bomb, cast with a Bilestone skull for maximum suffering.
Edit: Hearth of Earth is fine. It costs him a 4th level spell and one point from his Arcanist Pool though.

Ah, I see your misunderstanding. Those don't mirror them in power, but in their class progression or ability to gain higher levels. It's the difference between turning out wage mages who cap at 5th or 6th level and the elites who can make it to 10th level, perhaps even higher with enough time and experience.

Ahh. Does that mean that there are not going to be 20 level 15 mages the Lannisters are about to field against us...because I am pretty sure we outnumber them on level 15s also.

Yeah, at best they'll be level 12 or 13. And even then that's a bit much for PCs they tried to power level.

Breath of the Black Dragon is a good one. Right now the cone AoE is 60 feet, but it'll just keep on increasing as Qyburn levels. That's really unusual for cone AoEs, which are normally locked to a particular range. Better yet, it's eligible for the Enlarge Power Metapsionic feat. It doesn't even increase Power Point cost, unlike most cones which would need Wide Power at a cost of 4 PP.
I don't know when Qyburn would ever set up his build to include Enlarge Power, but it's a nice option to have when you need gigantic 120+ foot cones of acid for one reason or another.
There shouldn't be. They've had a much more limited pool to recruit from than we have (both in raw numbers and people of appropriate social rank to be deemed worthy of such power), less time to do it, and fewer opportunities for them to level.

Hm... looking only at high-level casters, we got:
- Benerro, Qyburn, Zherys, 5x Verdant Phoenixes, 35x Greater Bloodclot Molds coming through the caves
- Viserys, Dany, Lya coming from above
The Lannisters are... uhm... there's a word for it... something with F....

Eh idk man, plently of Other gribblies in Westeors they could've hit up, the Mindflayers were pulling shit in the Westerlands and I don't think Tywin would have any compunctions about tossing baby mages into the PoE to powerlevel them via sink or swim.
