We have one cowl of warding, and two mindblank items. While Dany can give one mindblank for a day, that is impermanent.

Unless we use xp to make it permanent. Can we?

Anyway, we got a lot of adamantium, so my point is that I want to get paid in mindblank items.

Viserys, Richard, Lya, and Dany can now be Mind Blank'd at all times. That is a very effective strike team. And like you said, the Telepath template will let her use Mind Blank as an SLA once per day if they need an additional party member.

I wouldn't mind more Mind Blank items, but they are super expensive and our finances, while in decent shape, are balanced on a knife's edge. I don't want to sell the Adamantine, and I know @Azel really doesn't want to seel it. Hopefully we'll recover enough loot to make it possible to purchase more Mind Blank items sooner rather than later.
 
I'm vaguely concerned that announcingbwe have a realm to total strangers, might be a bad idea, but I'm not awake enough to figure out why. Something something spies in crew/no idea who these people are working for, probable torture and death for (possibly? Innocent) powerful snake person that I want to loot.

I'm speaking specifically in regards to the wildfire plan. If we use Yarel, which I think we should, I never want him taking that mindblank effect off.

Same with anyone who is acting on it. Which might not necessarily be the four you mentioned. Unless it is, in which case, Yarel is the one I want it for. Also, for mindblank items, we can sell a few to Brravos for more than we would have got in reagents, or even in trade goods of the value equivalent, to get more reagents, unless my chain of logic is wrong. I am sleepy.

Friendly reminder that we're getting paid to loot here... :whistle::whistle::whistle:

Thus you come at last to the task he wishes you to take on: "I require raiders on the Brazen Throne's ships in the Sea of Fire, particularly raiders with seemingly no connection with the Peerless Empire. Powerful creatures begotten of flame that scorn the Sultan's rule and might tempt the local salamander petty kings to try their own luck, perhaps even desertions among the Crimson Fleet. Tales of a dragon of flame such as have not been seen in hundreds of cycles would surely be most likely to rally them. However, the hunt would be relentless. A more subtle approach might also serve..."

"How would we be paid for such an effort?" Dany asks, a glint of unselfconscious draconic greed in her gaze.

"Flat payment for each tribe that begins wide-scale raiding and a bounty for any Efreeti ship larger than an Oil Runner captured in addition to a standing offer to buy any prizes, cargoes or slaves you may wish taken off your hands at a good rate," he replies. "This is a standing task with no obligation to begin operations before a certain date."

We can collect the bounty on three ships already, and we're about to get a fourth with the Grand Vizier's ship.

And given that this is only day 2 on a five day action, we can get even more ships! :D I've got my eye on a bunch of those whaling ships.

EDIT: Have I mentioned how much I love this job? I love this job. Getting paid to loot is the greatest thing ever.

I am so confused. I know there's a reference I'm missing and it's killing me.

A while ago we fought a frost dragon that had the ability to literally erase someone's existence and all memories of that person other people have (making them basically unrevivable without divine intervention) if they were killed by its breath attack. After learning this there was a theory that we once had another brother that was killed in that fight but no one remembers because our memories were erased (with the power of the dragon crossing the 4th wall).

I think I would remember something like that...

Right?

The hilarious part is that this has been explained a few times, including immediately after the "theory" which was immediately after the chapter with the Frost Dragon but the thread updates so quickly most people still miss it except for those brave few who run The Gauntlet of Discussion.

  • [X] "Well met, Yrten Sword-Sunder. I must admit, the Golden Wind is truly an impressive vessel. Rarely have I seen its equal." We can flatter you so hard your brain dribbles out of your ears, but we'll rein ourselves in for now. But be aware that we find your ship pleasing to the eye, and should you attempt to double-cross us, it will make a fine addition to my hoard. Addressing the Tiefling Mage, "Greeting, Wisdom, we have not yet been introduced. I am known as Scalathrax Ashbringer."
    -[X] "My retinue and I have just returned from translocating three Efreeti Turtle Vessels, captured by sword, spell, and claw less than an hour ago, to my realm far from the Plane of Fire. Although two were taken completely intact, I regret our enthusiasm was too great for the third to withstand. Still, I am certain my vassals are capable of salvaging something of worth from its broken keel."
    --[X] "The Efreeti overseers were slain, of course, but the remaining crews seemed quite amenable to entering my service."
    ---[X] "I believe our credentials speak for themselves, yes? And what of you and your crew, Sword-Sunder? A fine vessel and skilled crew does not necessarily make one capable of successfully taking a Devil-crewed treasure barge."
    -[X] Varys will relay to us the pertinent information she is able to glean using Mindsight, including the number of Intelligent crew members, and whether there are any Efreeti or Devils aboard.
    -[X] Ask of Yrten what he knows of our prey, its crew of Devils and other malignant beings, and whether or not it has escorts, and how many.
    [x] Excepting Waymar, for his talents obviously lie in another direction, the least spellcaster among us is of the sixth circle.
    -[x] As for where I was, why, I've just finished transporting three captured Efreeti Turtle Ships back to my realm not a few moments ago. They were a decent bit of sport, so I assume that's enough?
    --[x] Point out the divine casters on the group.
    -[x] If you wish to know more, perhaps you should lean on any contacts you have on Armun Kelisk or the Opaline Vault.
    -[x] Ask about her skills, and the crew's.
    --[x] If they expect half the spoils, they better pull half of the weight.
    -[x] Ask if they have more information on the target, or an actual plan.

    -[X] What circle have you reached, and in what direction do your talents lie? (Generalist, transmuting, blasting).
    -[X] What can you tell us of the ship in question (You mentioned divinations)? Does it have escorts. What weapons and known or likely wardings are we likely to face. Do you have an idea of crew numbers on the ship generally? What is your current plan of attack, and how fast can this ship get to the target?

Eh. It's pretty much just empty bragging instead of the groundwork for a recruitment pitch.

Though kinda pointless to try for another vote now.

I think that's part of the intent, playing the Dragon and all, I wouldn't want to recruit these people anyway. Will likely better function as a freelancer we have contact with, point them in the direction of vulnerable Efreeti and use that to our advantage.

There's a mid-level tiefling wizard with Valyrian ancestry and you don't want to recruit her?

She has some Valyrian traits, I buy that meaning something on Planetos, not so much in the planes. Silver haired purple eyed people abound.

I'd rather she be an inside (wo)man even if we did recruit her so I certainly wouldn't be making the effort in front of the entire crew.

We really should leave Amrelath here, he would love being paid to loot as well, and we can take a cut of the payment for getting him such a dream job, there are Whalers enough for far more than 1 dragon anyway.
 
But I want my Sexy Tiefling Wizard waifu that DP put in specifically to titillate my kleptomaniac disposition...
