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

[X] Attack to kill
-[X] Viserys uses Assay Spell Resistance on the Maenad, then targets her with Freezing Glance.
-[X] Tyene targets the Maenad with Boneshatter if Viserys' spell is unsuccessful.
-[X] Richard charges, making a Battle Leader's Charge as part of the attack, while Waymar closes in order to use a Shocking Grasp spell.
-[X] Azeema watches for other attackers.

Maenad have decent Will saves, and gain a +4 bonus versus Mind-Affecting Effects, but thankfully, Freezing Glance isn't Mind-Affecting. Although I would normally favor Baleful Polymorph over Freezing Glance in this instance, given the Maenad's weaker Fortitude saves, I have a feeling this one has been beefed up more in the Constitution/HD stats.

Okay yes, I admit, what we attempted to do was quite dickish. But this God is basically punishing a bunch of people who did nothing wrong... for what someone taking hostile action against them did. Rather than punishing us directly. I understand that we're being indirectly punished, but because of that we have no choice but to make this God our enemy, because what are we to do?

Actually, let me backtrack. We could hand over the sisters and let her go! Then this God will leave us alone and never bother us again! He will never once have any demands for us, or interfere with our business, or go on to hurt people we care about!

I mean, that sounds good to me, who's with me?

The kind of god that unleashes the crazy murder bitches on a town because their festival was held on the wrong date isn't the kind of god that forgives and forgets slights. We're now on its list as much as it is on ours.
 
My sarcasm-fu is either really strong and wrapping around to being earnest, or really bad and falling flat...

3 actions. You can only do two on the same turn.

Nope, he can do it. Nerveskitter is an Immediate Action, which can be used any time and doesn't interfere with other action types, Assay Spell Resistance is a Swift Action, and Freezing Glance is a Standard Action. Viserys can cast all three in a single round. :cool:

I though that an immediate action was a swift action that you took on another's turn? That's why we can only Wings of Cover twice on the same turn.

Looking through the rules here I do not think that entirely accurate. An immediate action is a swift action that can be taken when it is not your turn, but it still is not a free action.

I really don't like that part. If this Maenad is a literal demigod, we might be out of our weight class.

Adn imediate action isa swift action that can be taken when it is not your turn, but it still is not a free action, so if someone else moves before Viserys he can do the immediate action on their turn and swift+standard on his, but he can't do immediate+swift+standard all on his turn.

That part of the immediate action description seems quite clear: "Using an immediate action on your turn is the same as using a swift action, and counts as your swift action for that turn."

But on the other hand, maybe this is the > head-sized energy field we've been looking for?

I'm pretty sure we have used the Nerveskitter + Swift Action + Standard Action combo before. No worries, though, plan getting updated now.

Tyene can hit her with Poison! It should decrease her fort save enough so that we can go with Baleful Polymorph.

Only if she makes a successful Touch attack against the Maenad. She is currently limited to 3rd level and lower spells to use with Occular Spell, due to its +2 level adjustment. She could us a Toxic Spell modified spell to actually poison the Maenad, I guess, but I don't know what poisons she has available.

@DragonParadox What types of poison does Tyene have right now?

*rolls for it*

None, she was not expecting to poison anyone here.

Darn.

What the hell, Tyene? Poison is your shtick. You don't see Viserys leaving his Alchemists Fire back in SD, do you? :o

I think we wouldn't have many objections to Tyene always keeping at least a few doses of useful poisons on her person? As TNE reminded us several days ago, we also need to determine what her standard poison loadout is going to be. @DragonParadox are there any poisons on this list compiled from the D&D 3.5 SRD that are off limits or just not available?
 
Aw man Dionysus you tended took be one of the cooler Greek gods who saved the horrific blood soaked revels for people who like slandered your mom

Also I guess this is a lesson learned for Tyene. She should at least have a paralytic on hand at all times

But... but magic. There has to be a way to shatter proof some vials, and if not that, keep them safe even in the midst of combat.

Poison is actually rather dangerous to handle even for an expert, especially contact poison. She does not walk around with a dozen vials as a matter of course when she has so many more safer options to kill people.

Reasonable, if annoying.

We need to add a Belt of Many Pockets for Tyene to our crafting list.

Belt of Many Pockets said:
This broad belt seems to be nothing more than a well-made article of clothing, but closer examination reveals eight small pouches along its inner front. In fact, a total of sixty-four extradimensional pouches exist in the belt, with seven more "behind" each of the eight readily apparent ones. Each pouch is similar to a miniature bag of holding, able to contain up to 1 cubic foot of material weighing as much as 10 pounds. In addition, if the wearer has a familiar, any pouch can hold it no matter what its size or weight. The familiar has no need for food, water, or air while inside the pouch, but any other living creature of suitable size placed within a pocket has enough air for only 1 minute, after which it suffocates.
Anything stored in the belt's pockets is effectively weightless and doesn't affect the wearer's carrying capacity so long as the belt is worn around the waist. If removed, the belt weighs one-tenth of the total weight of all the items stored within it.
While worn around the waist, the belt responds to its wearer's desire to extract something (by opening the correct pouch) or store something (by opening an empty pouch). Retrieving a specific item from the pouch is a move action, but doesn't provoke the attacks of opportunity that retrieving a stored item usually does.
Moderate conjuration; CL 9th; Craft Wondrous Item, familiar pocket, Leomund's secret chest, locate object; Price 11,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.
