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

Reader mode
By the way, which room in the Shadow Tower is anti-divination? Is that the room where Lya was frank from the chalice to confront Abraxas?
 
Ah, I'm getting excited. We're really going to balloon in influence as we (finally) take the stepstones, and Westerosi politics are going to explode when news of the fleet's complete and utter humiliation reach King's Landing.

Of course I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, though. Like, it's entirely IC for the Lannister's first attempt against us to underestimate both us and magic, but Tywin's memetic status is making me worry just a bit.
 
We should scry/teleport to Castamere after this, raid back all those valyriansteel weapons and dragon eggs. :tongue:

Edit: Actually guys, wouldnt the captains/nobility have orders written by Tywin... :evil:

Editedit: Honestly, we could do it in a day of two.

Oh, I want to question every lord, lya should be able to imbue us with detect thoughts soon, and we can let them stew for a bit if it takes a day or two with her to learn it, or maybe dany does it (dreamcast detect thoughts) and uses her telepathic bond/ability

I wonder if it's worth it to get info on tywins treasures and steal them.

I wanna meet doran before we kidnap tywin himself if we can

They probably have wards at this point especially at the armories, so we should be expecting a fight if we do.

We can teleport to Lannistport, scope it out, and then go harrenhal on their wards. :cool:

Hmmmm...

Potential Loot in Westeros:
  • Casterly Rock
    • Valyrian Dragon Eggs
    • Wands crafted by the Sha'ir
    • Miscellaneous loot from Valyria
  • King's Landing
    • Baratheon Bastards (yes they count as loot, they're descended from gods)
    • That armor looted from Valyria said to have a mountain's strength
    • Joffrey's Valyrian Dragon Egg
    • The Royal Treasury
    • The Iron Throne
    • The Red Keep
    • The Eldritch Abomination under the Red Keep
 
Maybe we should chain Stannis to the wall opposite of the Ulitharid corpse. Might help to break the ice.

Part MCCXXII: A Dragon's Demand
  • Threadmarks
    • A Dragon's Demand​

    Tenth Day of the Eight Month 292 AC

    Gouging the soft wood of the deck, you launch yourself into the sky one last time. Words of power and authority drip from your tongue, an enchantment forged in the days of Valyria to draw the eye and befuddle the mind without anything so gauche working magic upon another. Two mantels one over the other you bear, the savage glory of the wyrms of yore and the majesty of a sorcerer-lord of the Freehold to whom all upon the world must bow.

    "I will return on the morrow," you say, your voice a menacing rumble that nonetheless leaves your words sharp and clear. "Each and every ship I see here will still be in these waters else I shall be far less forgiving of your trespass once I have hunted your ships down one after another."

    You can almost feel the magic in the air like a hot wind spilling outward from your every word as skill and presence merge and almost become compulsion not upon one man or a handful but scores, hundreds. The sailors and armsmen in equal stoop to look up at you with eyes filled with dread. To your horror you see one man try to throw himself into the still monster-filled water, but those on either side of him manage to keep him from taking the final step.

    A mighty magic this, you realize, and wild. What might you drive men to do by its power, and at what cost to themselves? A shudder that has naught to do with the brisk sea wind goes down your spine.

    You land, troubled, but also glad the enchantment failed to take hold at the last, setting your mind again to the matter of Stannis Baratheon and his men. "Is there aught of magic about him?" you ask Ser Richard. While the knight's sense of the arcane is not as acute as a true sorcerer's, it has shown itself to be quite reliable in piercing glamours and trickery. "His left leg, not that it would be hard to guess by looking at it."

    Looking down, you see that beneath his leathers the Baratheon's left leg shines like gold... No, it is gold. Living gold that moves like flesh. Even in the days of Valyria such a thing would not have come cheap...

    "He is a man of many secrets, the Usurper's Master of Ships," you say, half-to-yourself.

    While you speak none of the Fury's crew dared come close to you, though a few do make abortive gestures when you gather their lord and his entourage about you. You would not be surprised if they think you are going to sacrifice him to your heathen gods... Come to think of it they would not object, but you have other plans for your dear cousin.

    What do you do with Stannis and the other knights?

    OOC: Your poor roll (4 which came out as 41) for intimidation saved you from causing any lasting mental damage to those who heard you. Basically if you roll over 50 for social skills and more than half of the result is magical enhancement of some kind or another the result is a wide ranging and usually mentally damaging compulsion, like say committing suicide by giant shark rather than remain in your presence because you are so terrifying.

    Here is the link. It's surprisingly good considering the premise of "let's give Jon a super special ice dragon!"
    The writer is serpentguy, who's not exactly new to writing even if he's not perfect (people sometimes criticise his pacing or his tendency to hit the characters people love a little too often). Of course, as anyone who read his Worm fanfiction can tell you, his payoff chapters are mind-blowingly awesome.

    I'd give this 8/10. Possibly 9/10 later, depending on how it ends (if Jon fucks up too much I'll be very sad, okay?)

    This is basically the best situation we could have hoped for. We tested out the diplo combo, rolled just the right amount not to mess up, and now we know exactly what it does. Oh, and the sailors are probably surrendering tomorrow.
     
    So we ended up using VotD and AoN together anyway? Cool!

    And we really can melt people's brains with our Social-Fu! That's nice to know. @DragonParadox Will that kind of effect bleed over to our party members, or is it something we can direct to intended recipients?

    Also, we need to get Viserys some Scrolls of Tongues, because he needs to be able to leverage the AoN + VotD combo against any group of people, regardless of the language they speak.

    So a translation of the (effectively) DC 50 skill use of Bluff that allows you to instill a non-magical Suggestion effect. Gotcha.
