The sad part is that we can't even send Azema to put him back on track due to the whole "consorting with demons" bit.

Either way, when are we going to make her at least neutral? CN is more manageable than CE, even if she displayed incredible restraint until now.

We need to find something we can forcefeed the Elysium Fruit that we don't care if it explodes as a test case.
 
Also, @Goldfish, I was doing some research on various spells we use to capture sacrifices and whether or not we could spread them around the party, and apparently Baleful Polymorph is a level 5 druid spell as well as a level 5 sorcerer/wizard spell. Can Vee and/or Tyene pick that up in an upcoming level? They can learn any divine spell, right?

Tyene and Vee are limited to the Cleric spell list, except for their Domain spells, which draw from Druid, Sor/Wiz, and Cleric lists. I've already tried to get DP to let a Druid spell migrate to the Cleric list, but had no luck.

Going through the Druid spell lists, here's what I have so far. It's not comprehensive, and I'm sure @TotallyNotEvil will find many others we would want. I'm including level 6 and 7 spells in this list, though Lya can't actually learn them yet. If nothing else, they'll be a decent reference guide.

Pay special attention to the 7th level Master Earth spell. It's long distance travel nearly on par with Greater Teleport, though with some limitations, which does not rely on a Conjuration effect. As a Transmutation spell, it would let us bypass the Wall's Builder's Anchor effect.

1st:
Goodberry – d20PFSRD
Produce Flame – d20PFSRD (a really great combat spell for an Arcanum)

2nd:
Wood Shape – d20PFSRD (might be helpful for our eventual crafter Arcanum)

3rd:
Burrow – d20PFSRD (because this would allow Lya to complete her collection of movement spells)
Quench – d20PFSRD (fire is our shtick, but being able to put it out can also be very helpful, as seen in the Wildfire attack on SD)

4th:
Flame Strike – d20PFSRD (4th level as opposed to the 5th level Cleric version)
Geyser – d20PFSRD (neat effect, ignores Spell Resistance)
Grove of Respite – d20PFSRD (neat effect, usable anywhere with ground)

5th:
Plant Body – Spell – D&D Tools (great defensive spell, would be great for Lya to cast before any combat)
Tree Stride – d20PFSRD

6th:
Binding Earth – d20PFSRD (mass)
Cyclic Reincarnation – d20PFSRD (this is how we get Aemon back into a young human body)
Ironwood – d20PFSRD
Liveoak – d20PFSRD (treant!)

7th:
Animate Plants – d20PFSRD
Changestaff – d20PFSRD
Creeping Doom – d20PFSRD
Fire Storm – d20PFSRD
Master Earth – Spell – D&D Tools (This is how we will get around North of the Wall until we can overpower the Teleportation wards)
Slime Wave – Spell – D&D Tools
Tectonic Communion – d20PFSRD
Word of Balance – Spell – D&D Tools
 
Robert may be turning himself back into a god-blooded unstoppable mass of muscles and death, but he is still fated to be murdered by cersei, so Who Cares?
 
... @Goldfish, I'm more than a little tempted to bring Leila as well as Lya on that visit to Bloodraven. Maybe we'd get lucky enough that they can split up which spells they learn, with Leila learning all the lower-level spells and Lya focusing on all the stronger ones.

Also, here's a level 4 druid spell we need:
Volcanic Storm – d20PFSRD

Granted, we could also buy the wizard version of the spell in scroll form.
 
By the way, I'm hoping the baby adventurers will have their roles to play in the conquest of Tyrosh? There's a rather stark need for XP, especially with Leila.

It's all hands on deck. I'm hoping to send them to double check Daemon's Folly for that "accursed" thing before that, though.

We'll make sure to schedule them for that this next turn.

For proper planning:

Baby & Subordinate Adventurers

We can't justify sending Kyla to war, not in the least because that's one of @Goldfish's few moral pet-peeves in the quest but also because it breaks our tacit agreement with the Fairwinds that their daughter is there to learn and she hasn't sworn fealty or enlisted. Any Nymeria is a disappointment on all levels for just leaving on the turn of a dime. Everyone else, though? They're all ours.

Theon and the Archer Arcanum could wreak quite a bit of havoc, especially with the dragonbone bows we're going to craft them.

Leila I want out of any real danger in fighting monsters and the like, but putting her in the middle of a ship battle is still reasonably safe. Maybe we should just pair her up with Asha. They'd be completely out of danger by being paired with Mercy, so maybe we could send them against some of the minor monsters.

Argo goes with the rest of the Minotaurs.

Bronn goes with party members, he's frankly skilled enough to keep up and at this point I'm seriously considering petitioning to make him a full-fledged party member if not quite eligible for government decisions.

Moonsong can be the flashy distraction in the harbor while we cut right to the heart of the city and burn out the truly dire threats.

Teana comes with us.

Glyra goes wherever we send Maelor.

Hmmm... For Sorcerer's Deep we need at least one PC keeping an eye back home, ready to contact us at any time via Whispering Brazier. Not sure who to put on the bench this time, but it needs to be someone, and I don't want Teana to sit out since in a mere one level she gets Teleport.

Lelia should track down her torturer with the wayfinder shortly after tyrosh.
I expect that bran the builder accounted for master earth, or maybe it can be used with OG permission. That would be cool.
Due to ideas of informed consent and such, I expect a force-feeding of Dawnfruit to a fiend would have deleterious results. I'd like to offer it to an imp though.

Not a quasit though. I hate them slightly more than imps :p

I want glyra with us sometime again. Just because it would be nice to read :)

I wish Teana would get enough XP to reach 10th level, but realistically, she isn't going to want to participate in the attack on Tyrosh. She's a powerful caster with a lot of useful spells that could aid in the defense of SD, so I won't be too upset if we leave her behind.

Mercy will of course be present as well. Her healing won't be of too much use during the actual fighting, but she can buff a huge number of our Legionnaires and any allied sellswords immediately prior to battle.

I think Xor, Glyra, and Maelor should also stay behind in SD, with a small contingent of Minotaurs. They could all use the XP, too, but they all lack the kinds of abilities that would be particularly helpful for a large scale attack, while simultaneously being quite effective against smaller groups of more dangerous enemies. Maybe we could also borrow Alyssane from Braavos for a couple days to provide a bit more backup in SD until we have most of the Tyrosh fighting taken care of?

@Duesal We're going to be splitting the party pretty majorly to take different objectives. I'm not sure a full PC is going to be left in SD. It might just be Ser Gerold, unless we have reason to leave anyone specifically.

Losing Nymeria on the eve of war is pretty distressing (she'll likely complain later, and I'll be smug at her from behind the screen).

I think leaving Glyra, and Maelor is a mistake at least. Xor...I'm not sure. He doesn't have the temperament for out and out war.

Also, who is excited for the party of mostly teenagers to conquer a city?

Bah. :anger:

Teana I can understand keeping at home since it's apparently IC of her to shy away from danger of all stripes (which I STILL am pissed off about, she's a PC dammit).

But everyone else I want in the thick of it getting that XP. I absolutely want Xor, Glyra, and Maelor fighting in Tyrosh. They don't necessarily have to be by our side, they could just be dismantling regular soldiers, but they should definitely be fighting.

EDIT: I much prefer @Diomedon's proposal to bring everyone. We couldn't make Teana come with us to fight Tiamat, despite failure meaning the end of our kingdom, but she better not try to weasel her way out of our planned wars.

It's not that I don't want them there, sucking up all that delicious XP, I just don't trust DP not to spring a surprise invasion or attack of some sort on SD while we are all otherwise engaged.

I suspect it'll require Viserys to teleport back regardless of who we leave so...

*shrugs*

We should prep one or two more bedrolls though. Even if we don't have to fight multiple threats back to back, they'll be useful for the low level healers.

How about leaving Bronn at home, then? He's valuable, but we're not exactly to the point of carefully feeding him XP yet. We can leave several scrolls of Sending or something with baby mages--have those mages all in different points of our island--and keep a dedicated alert team right by the Whispering Brazier to contact us if anything goes wrong.

And right before we engage in conquest, we divine with Yss to ask if anyone intends to invade or set a trap on SD as soon as we make our move.

I think Bronn should be involved in Tyrosh. It will let him be useful to us, while also impressing upon him just what we are capable of in a more visceral manner than merely hearing second hand accounts after Tyrosh is already ours.
 
We'll be likely leaving 500-ish Legionnaires in SD, along with the city watch, and Ser Gerold in command, so it isn't like it is defenseless. Bronn wont add much there. The real question is if we want to leave anyone with magic potency. Xor might fit there, with his eye-stalks, and while he wouldn't enjoy war, he would be roused to defend the city that he built and lives in.

Point.

Honestly I would very much prefer to just bring everyone possible and take all possible divination precautions to see if anyone is planning on taking advantage of our absence.

The PCs need the XP, the baby PCs doubly so.

If we do that, I want to bring the Shadow Tower as well, on the off chance we lose SD entirely while distracted by Tyrosh.
 
!

The dracolich. We need to root out the dracolich.

The preferred plan is to teleport the tower to Tyrosh as a way of transporting a nice amount of soldiers right inside the interior walls to immediately take the palace and the dragonstone walls from the inside. Heck of an opening.
 
@Duesal, do we need to go off-plane for crafting materials? Surely we can get some from the local markets. More so with the upcoming festival bringing in more wares.

We did fine with crafting materials from Braavos, Tyrosh, and Volantis to craft what we had before.

Even Relath's "ring".

We can just skip POA for now if we can just reload on local crafting materials first.
