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

Reader mode
God so many things to do, I'm honestly surprised we don't forget half of the shit we plan.

Like getting the Dragon Lich a body per our contract, I'm not gonna lie I honestly forgot he existed. He fell into that shame shuffle of "this character exists but he hasn't been named in a while" dustbin in the back of my brain. When someone says his name I remember, but only then.

I mean don't get me wrong, he's patient, he's practically immortal, but it still feels like it's in poor taste to leave him hanging.

Not that we have much of a choice because again, plots within plots within plots within plots with a side of keikaku and a load of winging it whenever an opportune moment presents itself.

Everyone else in the world is playing poker while we're sitting at the table playing blackjack, two different slot machines, craps, 5 separate games of chess with 5 different players that seem to rotate to different boards at random, and vanilla dwarf fortress, all at the same goddamn time.

Honestly the only reason I want to conquer Westeros is because then it'll at least turn one of those games of chess into checkers and maybe take off a slot machine.
 
If the checker board was fourth dimensional, and the slot machine was being replaced by a Jenga set that exploded when it fell. And the pieces had to be reconstituted painstakingly to play again.
 
@DragonParadox can you please confirm that Daenerys can research Arcane rituals?
She has the Lore, she herself said that she could do it in the interlude when the possibility was introduced, and she can cast Arcane spells through Dreamcasting.

I'm planning to argue for my pet projects during the next turn plan and I want be preempt the obvious "but it'll cost Lya time" objections.
EDIT: And yes, I already made a list of spells to research. It's in the Google Sheets doc.

As long as Divination is prioritized, I'm fine with that.
 
Everyone: I consider our rituals absolutely critical. They are the true added value of the Scholarum. Anyone can awaken as a mage and go on adventures and level up.
But learn useful rituals? No, that requires a proper education and sets our mages above and apart from any lucky outsiders who bypass the mistakes of baby mages without the Lore or sense to avoid common traps or mistakes.

A Hedge Mage with a few well-chosen spells and good feats is great and the Scholarum can produce a half-decent number of them, but so can the rest of the world. But a Hedge Mage who can supplement his spell selection with a few well-chosen rituals is massively superior to those half-trained wretches!

Do you have any idea how long that would take with how laggy the threadmark system is?

Sadly, no. But I'd be willing to take the time to do this if I were given the possibility to edit threadmarks in this thread. Is that possible?

Requires the thread OP to be a subscriber and I'm not sure that it can be applied to a thread retroactively. You'd also have to go through every omake individually to move them across, and due to the sheer length of the thread, each movement would take, um...a while. It would take ages, and that's assuming that nothing went wrong.
 
So, I'm looking up various Alchemical substances we can craft next month and found this beauty. Is this something we can craft, @DragonParadox?
Tarmak War Paint(Dragonlance Campaign Setting p. 232): Grants +5 bonus to natural armor and Fast Healing 5. After healing 20 HP, it loses its effectiveness. Cost: 500 GP, Craft (Alchemy) DC: 25.

Just looking through some Templates, I found that the Erinyes-Bound template is really damn good:Devil-Bound Creature (CR +Varies; 3pp) – d20PFSRD

I wonder if any of our's would be willing to join a martial character for to make a greater warrior than either of them would be alone.
+4 on all physical stats, constant Truesight and some neat, if not great, SLAs.

Edit: Talking about templates, look at this Dream Killer Creature (CR +2) – d20PFSRD for Dany. Pretty nice.

That's a very nice template and something that might very well be within our capability of granting, should the Erinyes retain the ability and prove willing to use it in a non-harmful manner.

I would only use it on high-level characters though.

Ultimatly an Erinyes is much better than most fighters with an Erinyes-Bound template and since this template is equivalent to possession-templates from other outsiders I suspect they couldn't do much while investing this much power in a mortal.

So while a Erinyes-Bound Richard would be better than Richard and an Erinyes, an Erinyes-bound Lenny the Legionaire would be worse than both seperatly.

Build on the assumption that the template is as costly to the Devil as all its sister-templated for Demons, Angels, etc. are.

  • [X] Plan Prophetic Dream
    -[X] Let Dany enter Lord Gerold Graftons dreams and give him a 'prophetic vision', using a mix of her powers and his mind filling in the blanks to craft the dream. She also uses a dreamcast Nightmare to enhance the experience or alternative aquires the Telepath template and casts it as a SLA, in case that generates less disruption to the dreamscape.
    --[X] She approaches him as a valet, telling him that there is a guest for him and leads him through his keep.
    --[X] As they walk, add sounds and smells as if Gulltown was burning around the keep.
    --[X] First Meeting: Some men-at-arms with seven pointed stars carved into their forehead and drenched in gore. They report happily that the uprising is being beaten down and that they have begun to execute the faithless in large numbers as he had ordered. If he looks out of the windows, he will see his men cutting down women and children before tossing their bodies into the bay. Before he can dwell too much on that, Dany ushers him on. She stresses that his guest, a man called Dywen, is waiting and that he should really meet him. She also subtly casts Unconscious Agenda at this point, to ensure that he will receive Dywen when he comes. // This is a reference to his ancestor King Gerold Grafton beating down an uprising during the Andal Invasion. This is exactly what he did.
    --[X] Second Meeting: Lyn Corbray approaches him on the way, babbling excitedly about being knighted and the glory that is to come. He too has a Seven Pointed Star carved into his forehead. He then urges Grafton to come to his throne room, to meet their liege. Dany stresses again that he should meet Dywen (trying to cast Unconscious Agenda again if it failed for some reason the first time), but relents when Corbray insists that this can be delayed.
    --[X] Third Meeting: In the throne room, Robert Baratheon sits on the throne of Gulltown. At his feet, the headless corpses of multiple knights in Grafton livery and around him, on spears erected around the throne, their severed heads. Among them the head of Marq Grafton, his father, who was slain by Robert. Corbray immediately kneels before Robert and is rewarded for the showing of supplication by being given a hand full of coins bearing the Seven Pointed Star. // Again, referencing real events, though a lot more embellished this time.
    --[X] Robert then addresses Grafton, asking him to kneel before his rightful king. When he refuses, Robert will give him some of the coin as a bribe, though now the Seven Pointed Star is replaced by the Laughing Devil of Mammon. If he still refuses, the men-at-arms and Corbray will restrain him and force him to kneel, stating that the gods willed it that he kneels.
    --[X] Dany repeats one last time that Grafton should receive Dywen, then collapses the dream.
    -[X] While Dany dreams, the knights guard her. Tyene and Viserys meanwhile scry & die the missing bodyparts of Thoros to ensure that the Devils can't strike at him. Corbray is off limits though.
    -[X] The next day, Viserys, disguised to look like a begging brother, will approach the keep of Gulltown and state his name as Dywen. He will claim to know something about the ambush and that he wishes to speak with Lord Grafton in private to reveal said knowledge.
    --[X] Hide Dark Sister in your cloak and disguise the Weirwood Staff as simple oak.
    --[X] Take a few of the coins along that the Brachina dropped.
    --[X] Gauge his reaction and plan the further approach.
    [x] Warn Lord Royce of the brewing trouble, the man is competent in games of court, though he dislikes playing them.

Sounds like sloppy programming.

Just the kind I usually do :V

So, it lasts forever?
 
Friendly reminder that I'm going to need the last day of the month for growing Weirwood Heart Trees. We've got quite a few planned, and DP is being lenient and letting us stuff all of them into a single day.
