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

Reader mode
Uh, @DragonParadox, I can't seem to find any mentions of Viserys scry-and-dying devils and/or taking parts of Thoros body back, as was specified in a vote before dream sequence.
Did that happen?
 
@Goldfish, minor note, next month we need to set aside around two weeks or more for Waymar to start selecting and training candidates for his order of Griffon Knights, and their Hippogriff-rider minions. He needs about one month or more to complete it, but two weeks should be plenty to get started. The establishment of this Knightly Order would mean that there would be bands of PC lawmen patrolling our Imperium and dealing with threats like bandits and the odd supernatural creature, and it would massively reduce the need for Companions to focus their personal attention on relatively minor things.

Anyway, aside from quickly studying the wildfire and reverse-engineering the formula, that's what Waymar should be doing.

We've been planning to have Waymar begin developing mass production methods for Alchemical substances next month.
 
@egoo, to add to the proto-next turn Plan I'd like to add in a series of divinations. First of all we should look into Qohor - is it going to collapse in the near future, is the new Druid or his god evil, would they be willing to work with us, that sort of thing.

I'd also like to fire off a bunch of divinations on westerosi houses. It'll be one question - who will they side with in the Restoration - but the answers will be useful, both in the information, and which ones we get a blank on.

Do you have a time frame for that? In any case, the wildfire needs to be studied first. A few days is reasonable for someone of Waymar's skill with access to Divine Insight. It's not the best idea to have that sitting around for too long.

Whatever days are left over from the mass production of alchemical substances should go into recruitment for the Knightly Order.

I'd rather not. Divinations cost XP. Wasting them on going through the loyalties of Westerosi houses doesn't sound like a good trade at all.

Not worth it for Westerosi questions. As we're mindblanked, the divination wont have access to our actions and will thus be unreliable. After all, the question of whether House Roote will side with the targs depends a lot on what will a certain targ be doing around the riverlands when the time comes to choose.

From the sounds of it, unbelievably, it sounds like Hoster Tully is inching to our side. Bloodraven's bard is doing damn good work with Edmure.

Oh. Well, perhaps we should restrict it to important ones like the Tyrells, Hightowers, and Tully's whom we genuinely don't know about.

No. The Tyrells have a Mind Blank item, which will muddle all divination items, and for others I'd much rather just do this the old-fashioned way and actually interact with them instead of burning XP. This truly is not a good trade. Commune questions should be reserved for legitimately dangerous scenarios, like fighting fiends, dealing with Tiamat, etc, not poking at the loyalties of Westerosi.

I'm pretty sure if we other him the marriage of somebody we put in charge of a Free city, or a close relative of them, to Edmure and also let him know that the Starks are sitting out, he'll openly flip.
 
@Goldfish regarding Erines vs Minotaurs, I'd prefer we stuck with the minotaurs. They always get the short end of the stick when the crafting schedule (or even the Schedule) gets rejiggered, and they're one of our oldest and more loyal subjects. Sure, they're maybe not as useful as having 5 kitted out Eryines playing PC backup, but at this rate our trusty minos will always be waiting for their gear.

A bit inconvenient though, as the Tully's will be our lighting rod for loyalist Riverlander lords. Their fall from grace will also greatly accelerate our plans for the Riverlands... still, I don't think they'll turn, not while old Hoster is alive at least. He'd be insane to. Its one thing to be pissed at Tywin Lannister, quite another to become a Targ supporter... Nobody has forgotten that of the original STAB alliance, Hoster was the LP with least (read, none) legitimate grievances to rebel, and got 2 juicy LP marriages out of the bargain. He was in it for the money right from the start, and even if Viserys doesen't give a fuck about it, the loyalist Riverlander Lords spontaneously rising up the targ dragon banner will. Hoster put his vassals between a rock and a hard place when he rebelled out of pure greed/ambition... and then after he won he had the gall to confiscate the lands of the lords that didn't follow him into traitorhood.
