DragonParadox: "I have a personal hatred for this monster, so it doesn't exist in my setting."

Player: "But High Magic genetics and biological weapons labs do exist?"

DragonParadox: "Yeah, that just makes sense."

Players: "Hold my wand, I'm going in."

I was just thinking about the results of us killing a Tarrasque. Obviously, the CR limit is well beyond the means of a Forge to grow a new one, but Miniature Tarrasques would be possible.

Imagine it, turning one of the traditionally deadliest D&D monsters into an adorable household pet popular throughout the Imperium...
 
On the note of forges, I'd like to add a minor action this turn to speak with the fey on the Feywild side of the Fungus Forge again. About vassalization.

We blew a pretty big hole into the ecosystem when we nuked the Court of Stars and after recent events, it seems prudent to fill it with something loyal and useful, lest Winter moves in.

Seconded. Granted, we need to send over a Fey vassal to figure out how the fuck that thing works. The Fey that live there admitted it was pretty much random.
 
I've mentioned various Power Metal bands in the thread before, and I think I've mentioned Gloryhammer, but I'm not sure about that.

Anyway, these guys come down on the cheesy side of Power Metal. As their name implies, however, it is Glorious. I can literally listen to and enjoy every song on each of their albums, and that is super rare for me.

I'm bringing them up this time because of three particular songs.

Legend of the Astral Hammer
Amulet of Justice
Legendary Enchanted Jetpack

The Knife of Evil gets mentioned in a couple songs, too, but doesn't have one dedicated to it. I want to create a Legendary Enchanted Jetpack now...

Seems like these dudes played a crazy D&D campaign and turned it into a few albums.
 
You know instead of a complicated magical trigger for the bombs they could have just had someone with a source of fire and considering how Tywin has shown that he has exactly zero problems with enchanting people to get his way said bombers may not have had a choice.

Wasn't there a planet of peaceful Tarrasque's in spelljammer.

Yes...but the question is do we slap some kick-ass looking wings on it, or just a plain ol' enchantment?

Probably both, since the things weigh a bit more. So big steel wings aided by enchantments.

Would still require some way to command the suicide bombers simultaneously, but yes, that would be much easier to do our of the box.

Come to think of, some flight upgrades for the Warden armor would be really nice...

The most affordable option, which is also the most practical due to the world's good speed and duration, would be Flight of the Dragon, like what Richard has on his cloak.

Flight of the Dragon – Spell – D&D Tools

Complete list of all D&D spells, rulebooks, feats, classes and more!
dnd.arkalseif.info
A 1/Day Flight of the Dragon item would give a flight speed of 100 for 70 minutes and cost 1,008 IM to enchant. Or we could break the duration up into 10 minute increments for maximum usefulness.

Obviously we need Jump Jets.

Just slapping wings on is the lazy route.

Come to think of, we could actually just strap a small AG engine on the back of a Warden-pattern armor. They would get pretty impressive flight capabilities out of that.

Would still need some wings for steering though.

It would also allow them to do the mother of all bullrushes and some real anime moves.

I think we should start a GoFundMe for this.

I mean the updates always come back out so I'm fine for now. I one of them were to vanish than I would be worried, though that might require less a GoFundMe page and more a Darkest Dungeon like expedition into the Dread Realm of Editing.:V

Wouldn't that be a bit costly? Most of the costs scale back with the smaller size but the ritual magic part of making the engine is one size fits all.

Part MMMDCCLII: Shadows and Sorcery

    • Shadows and Sorcery ​

    Thirtieth Day of the Fourth Month 294 AC

    Part of you, and it is a small part indeed, can almost congratulate the Lannisters on their tactic. The use of alchemical explosives is one of the better tactics one could use when a single hard point faces a superior army. What had they used for a detonator? The thought is only the faintest ripple upon your mind as you will yourself, Dany and Lya upwards that the high perch might reveal all the places where your legionnaires are in peril.

    "Alchemical mines," you explain. With a wave of your hand you craft an illusory light to mark the places in the frozen world, the men and women in peril and not even knowing it.

    Sheets of living shadow arise from the lights and wrap around those imperiled like strange cocoons, then spin out into funnels to channel the force of the explosion upwards.

    Fire flashes and stone shatters as the peaceful street becomes a scene of chaos filled with shouts and struggles as many of them understandably reason that the shadow and the fire must be part of the same attack. Many are wounded, scorched by flames through the gaps in their armor or pummeled by flying stones, but most struggle to rise or call out to their squad mates for aid. To your relief none are dead from the attack.

    "Loose formation!" you call out, quickly explaining what had gone on. The order goes out to the Dauntless, and from there by brazier to the rest of the Legion. A few moments later the three of you call forth creatures of jagged stone that tower over even roofs of nearby houses, not to fight but to search where the hand and eye of man cannot easily reach.

    The news that filters back from the Dauntless turns the moment a touch sourer in your mouth. Bombs had also been triggered east of here on the Street of Looms. Though it had not been mined to anything like the same extent the walls of several houses collapsed, crushing several citizens alongside a trio of passing legionnaires.

    As the first drops of rain began to fall from the Dauntless' conjured clouds the fires were thankfully already under control thanks to the actions of a quick-thinking mage with a head for more than battle. As the great ship shifts in the sky like some titanic silver whale to direct as many of its weapons as it can on the Red Keep, the Harbinger sweeps upon great spellsteel wings alongside its lesser kin to seek out unseen foes above to match the perils below.

    "How are things in the Keep?" Dany asks urgently. "Are there more of those things inside? They could just..."

    As though summoned by her words two more explosions resound from inside Maegor's Holdfast. Brienne looks on with worry and the High Setpon is unreadable, but Lya is as calm as you have ever seen her. "That is just normal fire. It's not going to do much to peatori, the colapsing masonry might but they have healing and elemental gems to help them dig through any sort of block. Honestly I'm more worried about the keep. There is blood magic in the foundations, but it is poorly set by clumsy hands and blind eyes. All the killing might stir vengeful spirits or darker things..."

    As was usually the case when Lya muses upon matters arcane she was right, though not quite in the way she had expected.

    "Gold Golems, it has to be," Lya says firmly as she listens to the account of Praetorians being burned by acid, seared by lightning, and poisoned by noxious fumes and especially one who had the misfortune of being petrified and later crushed by a falling column. And it was golems, at least three of them, maybe more supported by Golden Shields who were healing them and empowering them.

    Time to steal a whole bunch of golems!

    Also watch the Lannisters discover that the Targaryens of old somehow empowered the Throne or something. Or maybe they're trying to use it as the foci for some anti-Targaryen ritual.

    6500 IM for the rituals and I'd say 500 IM of enchanting for the steering wings, so, yes.

    I'd have to run some calculations later, but they definitely would be able to easily reach 200 km/h with this.

    So it's mostly a matter of if we consider unlimited, very fast flight and some close combat aid as worth that much.
