Oh, it's always been that way.
You definitely made it seem like our Shadow Tower was damaged in the battle rather than having remained in the state of disrepair it has been for centuries.

Nah. It's the state of disrepair that bothers me, doubly so now that we have a green light for fabricating dragonstone and can easily repair the Shadow Tower with enough of the stuff.

Azel's really been on a roll lately. It's pretty clear he got a promotion the night before Tyrosh.

All it'd be is panicked screaming, drunken rages, and a bunch of old men in robes remembering a previous plot they hatched recently involving a smug student that ended up hanged and sweating like pigs.

The next best thing is rumors.
Also, I love how we've continued with our trend of conquest within a single day.
Saltcliff --> conquered in minutes when we flew in and demonstrated Fireball above the inhabitants' heads
Torturer's Deep --> conquered in a day with two ships of NPCs against horrors of the Deep Seas
He'Nekar --> liberated from demons and cultists and returned to the townsfolk
Mantarys --> taken from cultists and demons within the course of a day, then handed over to Archons
Westhaven --> taken within a day in the aftermath of an orgy of cannibalism and madness
Port Sorrow --> negotiated assimilation, presumably within a day
Deepcleft --> surrendered to us in minutes after we displayed our numbers and our strength
Tolos --> conquered by proxy when we defeated the leader, a fellow dragon, in a ritual duel
Tyrosh --> conquered the old-fashioned way, again within a day
We are on a roll.

I'm guessing the Disputed Lands will take longer than a day, though. It will be quite a trick if we can do the negotiations with Lys in a day ....

We did prep-work with Lys already, so that'll be smoother than normal. It'll be Myr that should be harder to negotiate with.
If we appear willing to buy off Lys and Myr with some of the more disputed (heh) portions of the Tyroshi disputed lands because we don't want to be bothered with "distractions," implying that we're both less competent (giving away important farmland) and that we're very focused on Westeros. That it doesn't matter if we give away a small bit of the disputed land to buy time to prepare to conquer the entire thing is something we don't need to point out to them.

I was hoping to move relatively quickly with getting Myr, since I don't trust Volantis not to try to nab the city before we get to it.
Maybe two-in-one? Myr and Lys at the same time, one with conquest, the other with intrigue?

More like, Vetinari's "Do you believe in angels" refer to those that have fallen.
Aberi and co. is in position to see the chaos unfold.
If the thread can still stomach them. @DragonParadox, I know you want to just forget about them, but if you want an interlude showing the path to their decision to abandon plane, this is it.

Oh, I was talking about the diplomacy. We're going to have a lull as we consolidate Tyrosh and rush our garrison troops trough training. When we actually move, we should take Myr, Lys, and Pentos as close together as possible. I don't think same day is feasible, but the same week should work.

DP just told us that Tyrosh has a population of 600,000, and we just took the entire city with a Legion of 2200 men and women from our population of roughly 19000. We should get a ridiculous number of fighting soldiers ready soon enough. The best part is that we have a blooded veteran core to train the new soldiers, so everything should go much, much faster.
The limiting factor once again is going to be the iron. We need more. We always need more.
Another thing: way back we rolled to see if we could find a Qohorik smith in Braavos, and a poor roll got us a dying master of the craft.
Let's search in our new city to see if there are any random smiths to be found. Tyrosh is famed for the armor that comes out of here (which will come in handy when we set them to resize the legionnaire's fabricated armor), so perhaps at least one was tempted by the concentration of master smiths, even with their lack of arcane skill? Worth a shot either way. I want that thinblade for Valaena.

I don't want to pay for the iron.
We're essentially getting it for free through the Xorn.

As always, the limiting factor is being able to hold the cities after we take them. That's what we're waiting to train up, the garrison police force for our new cities, and we're starting them as fast as we can shove bodies towards Westhaven now that we can recruit the expected amount of people we need (very roughly needing 10,000 if we're including Tolos). Fortunately, they look a lot like light infantry from the outside, so it would appear we're making a nice, big army to invade Westeros, full of heavy infantry, light infantry, and crossbowmen (and potentially cavalry in the disputed lands if we can find a spot for it fast enough, before we're ready to move forward).
The only way we could go even faster is if we got even more sellswords, but that would be difficult without the comparable numbers of legionnaires to enforce our discipline on them.

I was a bit salty of them muscling in on the PR but this is actually going to be hilarious.
~Last Red finishes cleaning up the worst of the refuse~
Viserys: "Alright team, I want this place rebuilt within the month, I've got you scheduled for Myr and barely any margin for Pentos. Chop chop."
~Reds blink~
What are they actually going to do though? They'd be lucky to contribute a days worth of work at the scale we operate.

I think that the most valuable contribution is being close to the people. It makes it easier for us to introduce our reforms later.

Inb4 we usurp their head priest and vasalise the entire religion, including it's god, and make them work for us, the idea of Viserys calling gods to his office and asking why they aren't keeping the schedule is amusing.

We can use some of the latter as raw materials for new buildings, but even then it will have to be sorted through so we know how much material we have.
That's a task magic can help relativly little with, it's only the raw construction we can make near-immediate.
