I'm not sure she's intelligent enough for that (Base spider int) and I don't have a Familiar link to her, but she's a protective little sucker
Oh that, so she's been planning this war thing for a while now, it's been the endgame of our current campaign for about 6 years now. I will point out that, as of the war starting, she's actually using two systems.
We have the usual actual D&D battle if the player party actually enters into proper combat, which is largely meant for when we actively move to encounter special units ourselves, which we will be doing next week as we move to try and take out the Countess who heads up the upper markets where slaves are sold.
But most of it thus far as been an overworld strategy game style of battle she worked up for it, where we have units who's HP signifies the number of members in that unit (Barring special units such as our party being one unit, a slime rancher we recruited, the Pirate Queen's crew, etc), and each unit has a set damage number, a set bonus to attack, an AC and a Morale stat, like so-
Moon Warriors-Infantry HP-8 Attack +5 Damage 1 Morale +3 AC 14 Range 1
Slime Rancher-Special HP-10 Attack +7 Damage 1 Morale +2 AC 14 Range 2
Overworld battle is simply attacks of one unit on another, you choose to attack a square in range. For normal units, your damage goes to the least damaged, non special unit in the square (Ala infantry battles), and special units can choose specific targets to press a weakness or go after enemy commander units. If a unit drops below half health, they have to make a morale save or spend the current turn fleeing.
As an example, my party popped up in the middle of the city with our slime rancher and two platoons of Moon Warriors. This means our square had four units. A neighboring square had two Drow units, so our moon warriors attack there and their damage, if they hit, applies to the unit with the least damage, but either the party or the slime rancher can target a specific enemy unit to try and wipe it out with our better range or damage (The party has 3 damage in overworld). This means the infantry battles are more streamlined and the special units can more specifically target weakened units to lessen the number of attacks against our side.
Lastly, at the start of each day is the Tide of Battle roll to determine which side resolves their actions first during the day, with two actions per day (Actions currently are Unit Movement and Unit Attack, other things may become available as things progress)
It wasn't a dungeon, it was a harbor city we were literally just using as a point to teleport to in order to cut a week+ off our travel time. And it's kind of thrown some wrenches into our long term issues.
As it stands it lead to a Navy Captain and her plattoon coming to see us while we were getting horses near the city gates.
That lead to him revealing to her, in a private talk, that his church has some demonic infiltrators of some sort, which will cause issues with the shade we've been having them throw on the Human Queen as she is controlled by the Yellow Diamond (Yes, that one), but as he did not mention that latter bit to the captain for some reason, she just has partial information, meaning she can give this to the queen as cassus belli to have her millitia march on the neutral City of Temples without knowledge that her own monarch is compromised.
If he had just not suddenly added Sir to his name, or doubled down, the worst we'd have is maybe some monster hunters coming for me thinking I'm a hag, which isn't that bad honestly, but our current plan is less than a week from our big plan to stage an assault on a Drow capital to free them from the demon worshiping leadership, we just got this information that there may be some level of issue among the Paladin's church, and now we have another timer until the Captain decides to pass this information along and we have the Human Empire marching on the City of Temples.
Well at this point, my Warlock has an enemy for almost each season, them being an Eladrin
Spring has this situation, where some servant of the archdevil knows her face
Summer has a Lich Queen who has his portrait from a ghost who saw him during a heist of her library
Autumn's issue is she trapped a Dracolich in the astral sea with no way back on her own
Winter is the only one sitting pretty, with the only big name attached to his face being that the Winter Queen adores him as much as she does all children of winter
The fact it's phrased as "Finally found" implies that not only had they not known where it was, they may not have been sure it existed but were determined to find it for some reason
