@DragonParadox The vote has swung now that people have had a chance to appreciate Viserys' insulting wordcraft.

@DragonParadox, can you leave the vote open for a bit longer?

Many things can be hidden in those clouds, and we have non-combatants to protect.

Fine, but if he doesn't get out after being Fireballed we'll have to follow, our spellslots are limited.

At the risk of coming across as persistant.
@DragonParadox, I suppose what bewilders me the most is that it wants Rhaella despite how the hunt started long before she came into the picture. And since Bloodraven's lair is unscriable, it's only had, what? Hours to divine and even know she was alive? Or are you saying they knew this would happen before? If so, how? Can they scry south of the Wall somehow (and do note that it's Summer, the Wall is supposed to stymie them, and they don't have Weirwoods) or otherwise knew this was coming since several turns before the players decided to go on this trip? The only alternative is they can eavesdrop on the Old Gods themselves, and that's a bit beyond my SoD's tolerance limit.
The White Walkers already have numbers, immortality and thousands of years of preparations in their corner. Adding perfect uber divination is enough to make me wonder why they haven't taken over the world in the past 8000 years, Wall or no. Never mind since magic came back.
And you even describe the Old Gods having time/ateporal portfolio being this huge thing, on the front page.
Tl;Dr: Yes, I am, in fact, surprised the Great Other (or whoever sent this thing over) can match the Old Gods/Bloodraven at their own thing.

Using the most recent vote.
It's not perfect divination, there is no perfect divination, but it knew you were in the North with one of her bones.

Desire reaffirmed, one day I want Mindblank as an SLA for Viserys.

Or a lead container. Lead blocks divination, or was that not part of core D&D rules?

Lead blocks divination, but Mindblank blocks you from divination and everything you're carrying, and it negates all mind-effects.

I hope there was at least an insight check rolled for the enemy to even think about looking for bones on our person, let alone scry everything we're carrying, because otherwise it's just more of the same "you can never surprise your enemies except by accident" theme I've been seeing on an off.
Speaking of, we should line our castle, or at least a room or two, with lead too. That way we don't have to cram prisoners in with sensitive items, if nothing else.
I know, but we can't exactly afford to wait for Mind Blank, can we? Not when enemies apparently are genre savvy enough to check if we're carrying bones with us. It shouldn't be too hard or expensive to make a lead case to hide plot items in.

Plot items are carried in the bag of holding by Ser Richard who has Mindblank, and are thus protected from divination.
Kind of redundant. Teana already put up Blood Wards all over the castle. She even made it so that we can safely insert and extract the Shadow Tower without disturbing the wards.

Why was Stannis' imprisonment so fraught with divination worries then? Or did the wards only get put in place more recently?
And why wasn't Richard carrying Rhaella's bone then? Because if he was, then the enemy should not, in fact, have known we had Rhaella's bone with us.

I'm not following. What divination worries are you talking about? You mean the divinations we did over Renly and if he was actually Renly or not?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I have no answer to this one. By all rights Mindblank should have made the bone simply not show up in any divinations.

Missed the vote and nitpicking, but the staff summons ravens, not crows. They're larger, smarter and meaner.

I seem to remember Stannis was kept in the same room as "weird and dangerous artefacts on the level of the insect godhead" thing, at least at first, but maybe I'm just retroactively hallucinating.
That said, @DragonParadox, how DID the bone show up on divinations if Richard was carrying it?
