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

Reader mode
We could still try Fear or Charm.
I have this feeling that an Illithide serving creature is supposed to be easy to mentally manipulate, not difficult like the masters.

Oathkeeper's flames reflect the mood of the sword's spirit so there's not much data to be drawn from there I'm afraid.



I will confirm that it is among other things a giant bag of HP.

And I'm now in the mood to second guess myself and a giant bag of second thoughts.

If we pull back and let Glyra fire, could we observe it's reaction and still teleport away before the possible explosion would hit?

if the damn thing still lives, it may be time to try the long range approach, we cant let it reach the coast.
 
So, if this thing has Mallor-levels of HP, we must have done what, half of its HP in damage?

The darts alone might not cut it.
 
If the fire does trigger an explosion, not teleporting immediately kills us.

Alternative would be to fly further away and Fireball it into submission and/or tiny chunks of burning meat.
 
[X] Plan Parting Shot

I can't wait until I get my own office at work, whenever that is. It'll make not actually doing work so much easier.

So, regarding the vote I missed on whether or not to apply flame to the Floating Tentacle Beast, I don't think I saw anyone mention that Oathkeeper might have been burning more brightly because it was agitated. It could have been reacting to the mental assault on Richard, or perhaps even a mental assault on Oathkeeper itself. It is a sentient, telepathic sword, after all, and it was repeatedly being brought into contact with the Aberration.

If the thing contained particularly flammable gas, there should have been great gouts of flame jetting from the injuries Richard inflicted upon it, though an explosion would have needed proper stoichiometric ratio, so it wouldn't have been instant.
 
Hey, maybe Garin can try for a Death Attack on this thing. We have spent 2 turns fighting this, so with another one he can try it? Or can just stay back and prepare it?
 
[X] Pull back, let Glyra use her Firedarts while doing so, start bombing it with Fireballs.

Screw it. I want to make sure it's dead and I have the feeling DPs "standard action" statement means my current plan wont work.

I think we should:
[X] Everyone flies way up
-[X] Viserys tries a fireballl.
-[X] Wait for Garin to ready a death attack, launch Pain Darts just before he goes. Proceed with more hit-n-run death attacks and fire darts from max range.
