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

Reader mode
By the way, could you give out the url of the monthly plan? I usually try to keep it open in a separate tab, but somehow missed the link this time...
 
To put things into perspective here, Zherys is wrong genre savvy. He thinks he's the Villain protagonist, the man making Hard Decisions as a Hard Man in a Hard World.

We've transcended the boundaries of binary choices, where you can only be Good or Evil, given our understanding of how meaningless those terms are when the cosmic forces of both are twisted and maligned against mortal sensibilities.

We don't have to choose to be "the good guy" or "the bad guy".

Picture this scenario. We don't have time to waste. We have a limited window of time to consolidate our power in preparation against our true enemies, Tiamat, Others, Deep Ones, Lloth and Drow, Old Ones, Dragons, Angels, Devils, Demons, Daemons.

We could play nice and careful and spread out our focus and attention and make inroads everywhere, slowly... but we don't have time.

So we save more lives, by making choices which will result in possible great losses of life. Prevent what we can. Save who's worth saving. Live with the consequences.

For a hundred years people might decry us. But just as many will praise us. The scales eventually tilt in our favor over time the more success against outside context problems we have.

We won't "stop" at Volantis, or Qohor, or Westeros. But priorities do get realigned to what is practical.

Right now, it is impractical to allow possible enemies to consolidate when we are fighting to fit in time to do so ourselves, yet remain perfectly capable of preventing them from doing so.
 
DP said that studying the Petrified Weirwood required either Valarys, Vee, or Lya. But, now that we have the Druidic Treants, do you think they might be able to discover something? DP did say they were available for 10 days of actions but that they didn't like to travel...they didn't appear on the schedule...couldn't hurt to have them try to do something about this...

He also said the Advanced Lotus Leshy did want to travel, but having looked at it's stats, can't find a lot for it to do unless it wanted to tag along as a scout to Sothoryos..

Treants are going to be busy training druids for us, which definitely takes priority in the long run. The earlier the druids are trained the stronger they'll be when we need them. In conjunction with the sacrifice-gathering actions we do next turn (fiend-summoning, mainly), we can just have the study action finished up. It's already mostly done at this point.
 
@Crake, I think the core of it is this little bit:

Zherys is not taking this idea seriously. He thinks this is the boasting of a conqueror that reaches much farther then he should. He thinks we are Alexander the Great, sending his mighty armies to the end of the world to find new things beyond to conquer, leaving monuments to our glory behind.

But we are not. We are a one man Roman Empire. We are not taking the world for ourselves, we are making a new world in our image out of the mess we found.

His bait with the Lannisters is clearly showing that he thinks he can bait us with our personal feelings and vendettas. Many thought that they could undo us with our ego. I think we got half a dozen skulls out of that assumption and Grey Worm was made the Bey of Beggars gofer over it.

Ultimately, he is still playing the same old game of thrones, not seeing that we are playing three other games on the side and rewriting the rules of each of them whenever we are not winning hard enough.
 
Hey have were heard anything from Tyrion yet? I kinda feel like we should have. We really should try and get around to subverting him when before we get around to killing his dad.

Well, you know, arrange for a crossbow to be around at an opportune moment, and We may not have to kill his dad at all. Just sayin....

He's two years older than Vicerys, so he should be well within the public sphere by now...

Definitely a target for when we get the Inquisition Westeros branch up and running.

You know, I've kind of liked thinking about the idea that in this version of Planetos, with awakening magic and all, that maybe Tyrion is a Dwarf rather than a dwarf. Wouldn't that be nice?

Considering his love of books, I would not be surprised if he has a few levels in a spellcasting class.
 
Have we decided on who's getting those dragon eggs yet? I really think we should give Malarys his, as quickly as possible since that was one of our promises to him (I think).

Yes.

We have seven eggs in our collection. We haven't decided who's getting which egg, but the people who are getting eggs are as follows:

Amrelath, Dany, Rhaella, Malarys, Reva, Liset, and the last egg is undecided.

1. Pink as the first hints of dawn's light = Amrelath
2. Black with specs of gold -- Malarys
3. Pale almost ghostly silver -- Liset
4. Pale almost ghostly silver -- Reva
5. Blue as the summer sky -- Dany
6. Midnight black with sparks of amber -- Viserys or Teana (personally I favor Viserys, but I realize we don't really have much time to train it, and Teana could make time with her class features) Though I feel like I shouldn't argue against myself here: we could always just Dominate it.
7. Jade green -- Rhaella

There has been a proposal though. I kind of like it, though it would also be nice for Vicerys to have the Jade Green egg that came from our wonderful ally the Keg King.

There have been proposals for specific eggs going to specific people, but we haven't voted on that yet. I imagine DP will just handle it with what makes sense IC, or have us eventually vote on it.

The Golden Dwarf​

At twenty namedays Tyrion Lannister was in the prime of his life and yet felt as if he could not make the most use of it. This was sadly a common thought as he was practically locked away within Casterly Rock by his father most of the time and rarely allowed to leave the mighty castle.

Not to mention that his father considered him an embarrassment that should be kept out of sight as much as possible.

Tyrion had long learned to accept many of this but he still wished to be accepted by his family and be allowed to follow his dreams.

The only members of his family he could say actually liked him were uncle Tygett, his brother Jamie away in King's Landing, his other uncle Gerion, and finally his good-aunt Lanna. The latter two of which had seen much stranger and darker things then his mismatched body so did not treat as any lesser than any other man. It was heartwarming that they loved him not only as family but didn't see appearance as monstrous or even odd.

It was one of the many reasons that made him visit and stay at Castemere as much as possible, that and the fact he adored their children who, despite not being much difference in height, looked up to him for his wisdom and knowledge from all the years spent reading whatever he could find in the castle library.

Speaking of which, while the library of Castemere wasn't nearly as old and vast as the one at Casterly Rock it did contain much more tomes on magic and similar things as collected by his good-aunt over the years. It only made sense when she was one of the most powerful wizards in the lands but also founder of the Order of the Golden Shield that protected the Westerlands from threats common guardsmen and knights couldn't hope to face. Tyrion was quite certain he had already read the vast majority of the books at the Rock anyway so all he was doing was trading up to a new source reading material.

As a boy he always loved the stories of the Age of Heroes, of magic, and had even wanted his own dragon. Now however as the world was changing rapidly to be more like the "fiction" he had grown up reading about it just made his desire to understand it rise even higher. He could not help but curse his father in his mind for denying him all those years ago the chance to sail alongside his uncle on his expedition to reclaim Brightroar and miss out on all the adventurers he and his stowaway turned wife had been party too.

He made due with them personally telling of their journey and reading their journal entries and whatever bits of safer lore they had recovered from Essos.

Tyrion wasn't afraid to admit that he had ask his aunt about the possibility of becoming a wizard himself and she stated that it might be possible with enough study, though not everyone had the potential to use it. Seeing as his mind was his greatest asset Tyrion decided to give it a go and even if no results showed themselves it would still be quite valuable.

Over the course of all this Tyrion had asked his aunt about the possibility about if magic could fix the body he was born into it. His hopes soared when she said it was indeed possible but it would take much research to not only make sure done right but also safely. This merely reinforced his drive to learn and mayhaps in time he could change his very own fate to something beyond what he currently was.

He dearly hoped that he could ride the mare Jamie sent him for his namesday as a full man and in the future travel just as his uncle had to lands and realms beyond his imagination. After all it sounded oh so much more fun then being a lord.

For the first time in Tyrion's life he was optimistic about his future.

There it is...He is/was trying to become a wizard, may have or not have succeeded yet.

Edit: I'm wrong, he is three years older than Vicerys.

I assume since this action hasn't happened that means Dany hasn't attempted this? Or do we not know either way? At any rate, let's not bring it up at all if we know she hasn't thought of it yet. I know I was one who was advocating for this, but really, doesn't seem necessary if they aren't asking for it.
 
ahh, he just probably fell asleep at the keyboards. I've done that more than twice lol. Its a killer on your neck, let me tell you.
