Eh. I'm lacking a good demographic for this tactic to work. Recently moved and don't know that many people in the area yet.

I know it's not an actual table but have you tried Roll20? I've used that quite a few times with friends when we're all at University and it's a pretty fun way to play D&D online with friends.

I thought this action on Waymar's part was to help develop a new branch of magic, as in the Pathfinder Alchemist class. Standard Alchemy is already taught at the Scholarium. Most of our Initiates already have the skill maxed for their level.

Pretty much that, yes.
Just like Silver Eye course will get us their class taught at scholarum upon completion.

Do you look caucasian? Or basically fair-skinned non-asian? Also, with an air of knowing where you're going when walking the streets at night.
If so, then my country is still not the place to go...
Strange how the world works nowadays. I'd like to see the same for ASWAH when the Aethernet comes up!
An Ibbenese, ranting against whaling regulations, while a Brindled man shares his woes about his grandmother's funeral (her meat was too tough, my teeth still hurts!) while a Deepsman offers to offer a rat to Yss for both.

Man, Argentina is wild.
A friend of mine spent a year in China, and said about the same.
If do you work like there's no tomorrow, you can make a very decent amount of money.
Some crazy stuff, tho.
Isn't Sweden essentially a private club?
On immigration: folks, how hard is it to certify a foreign Engineering degree over where you live? Do you have to actually certify it, or can you just take a test to show proficiency and join the national association or whatever federal guild you have?
Boy, I will definitely try to finish the procedures for asking for Portuguese citizenship. I suspect that will make everything much, much easier.
And I think I could travel without a visa to a whole lot of places, couldn't I?

See that's hilarious to me because I kind of rope all of you Southern American folks into the same "it would be crazy to live down there I bet!" camp with rampant corruption and political/economic insanity like that, no doubt to a degree perpetuated by my own country's government (though sad to say I am, again, probably woefully out of date on my information, since I have no idea if that's still going on to a degree or if blatant interference ended at some point).

I've got the strong feeling that this whole thing will devolve into a classical murder-mystery. The setup is just fitting far too well for it to be a coincidence. So my plan is a bit influenced by that assumption. It works perfectly fine without that hunch being right, but if my plot-sense didn't fail me, the whole thing will be twice as awesome for us playing along with it.
[X] Plan Setting The Stage
-[X] Preparation:
--[X] Viserys quickly fetches Aradia and moves with her to Anya and Mia. He uses Ancestral Awakening to learn Cultural Adaptation and Heroism, then Blood Wishes Harmonic Chorus and Arcane Concordance spells on himself to boost his caster level to 20 and allow him to Extend all of his following spell. While enhanced, he casts Nine Lives, Air of Nobility, Comprehend Languages, Cultural Adaptation, Heroism, and Grand Destiny(using Greater Shadow Enchantment) on each of them.
---[X] Tyene casts Neutralize Poison, Nondetection, and Wind Walk, on them and provides each of them with an acorn enhanced with a Fire Seeds spell so they inflict 15d6 damage when used.
--[X] Once this is done, he goes back to Hermetia and Shara to cast as many Divinations for them to support their efforts (see Execution phase) as he has Bloodwishes left.
--[X] Then he Teleports over to SD, deposits the small marble cube there for Dany and takes the bedroll. He messages Dany with her part of the proceedings and looks upon the Wayfinder to get a rough idea of where the potential westerosi agent currently is. Knowing if he is in Lys, Westeros or mainland Essos is enough detail.
--[X] He then goes to the Fungus Forge to have a short nap to replenish his spells. He takes a quick nap there to replenish his spells, then picks one of the Erinyes to help him with the next part.
-[X] Execution
--[X] Hermatia and Shara will try to exploit the ruckus caused by the botched assassination to further their own work. Namely turning people to their side and sowing distrust among the Spicers.
--[X] Aradia, Mia and Anya will infiltrate the solicitors office to find out more about his clients and dealings.
--[X] Dany will pick up the marble cube in the evening, then take it with her into the dream. There she dreamcasts Touch of History to learn enough about the suspected Lannister / Baratheon agent that she can find his dreams. She will then visit him in his dreams and extract as much information about his work as possible. Most important is to know who his backers are and who reacted favorably to his offers. Lastly, she wipes his memory of the visit, leaving him none the wiser.
--[X] Viserys and the Erinyes will Teleport to the manse and infiltrate it in disguise.
---[X] Viserys will wear a richly, though sensibly embroided robe of silk, with the Serpents Sin appearing as a matching golden silk-cloak. The style should be eastern, a blend between Qarthene and Yi-Tiish styles. The Weirwood Staff will be disguised as a sorcerers staff of eastern style.
---[X] The Erinyes will have a matching disguise, appearing as a well cared for assistant and possibly bodyguard.
---[X] He will introduce himself only vaguely, stating that had wanted to make a offer to the deceased and might want to make the same offer to one of his heirs. Thus he wants to observer the proceedings and talk with the attendants afterwards. Play the part of the haughty sorcerer, being respectful of the people he needs something from, but ultimately an eastern snob that considers himself far above them all.
---[X] If pressed enough or if Viserys feels it advantageous to reveal this bit to one of the attendants, tell them that after a long time of tracking it down, he had learned that he had come into possession of a certain item, but stay utterly vague on what that item actually is. As he is a noble man of means, he is willing to offer a good price to whoever inherits the piece in question, but will not reveal what item it is, as he doesn't want a bidding war.
---[X] The Erinyes is mostly coming along as a extra set of hands and a set of True Sight eyes.
---[X] Note: The goal here is to present a intriguing persona that apparently has both wealth and magic to offer to anyone who gets close to him. At the same time, he will look the overconfident foreigner, sparking the thought in some of the attendants to screw him over for their own gain. The availability of magic also means it's easy to see how he learned about this event and came to the manse despite not being officially invited. Basically, present everyone with a opportunity to sate their greed for wealth and power, thus making everyone not only accepting of Viserys presence, but actually looking forward to it.
Thoughts?

It's a member of the EU, so I guess you can travel and I believe work in different EU countries without having to go through a big process?

I mean, Brazil is sort of... unique.
We like to say it's not a country for beguinners.
For example, just now: one of the greatest (known) serial killers in our history, Pedrinho the Killer, who personally killed over one hundred people, and now is 64 years old, becomes a highly succesful youtuber after fourty two years in jail.
It's sort of dystopian, y'know? Corruption has its hijinks, like Argentina's, but it has moved to a more mafia-like level now. We are cruising on absurdity now.

If you get Portuguese citizenship, you are part of the Schengen Space. That means you can freely travel and live in all countries participating in that treaty.
Who is a member you ask? All of western, central and parts of eastern Europe. See here for details: Schengen Agreement - Wikipedia
There is no process at all. You don't even need a passport or anything.
You just drive or walk over the border.

You think your YouTuber killers are weird?
America has a guy on the House of Representatives (Alcee Hastings) who was straight-up impeached and convicted for corruption and lying under oath a few years ago.
He's regularly reelected anyway.
Meanwhile Ireland basically admitted that for decades it gave it's own citizens into slavery during the XXth century.
The Vatican denies involvement, but considering the evidence...
Catholic Church ran a slave business with the aid of the Irish government. They also murdered a whole bunch of babies.
Meanwhile France has all these Corsican, breton, and Marseillais people. They all ask for independence, we all hate them and know them to be inferior, and yet we're still sharing a country. So weird.

@Azel I think your spell selection is kinda iffy. That's a ton of Blood Wishing for relatively little effect.
Instead, have Viserys cast Ancestral Awakening to learn Cultural Adaptation and Heroism. He can then Blood Wish a Harmonic Chorus spell on himself to increase his caster level by +2 and an Arcane Concordance spell so that he can Extend all of his spells. While so affected, he casts Nine Lives, Cultural Adaptation, Heroism, Air of Nobility, and Grand Destiny(using Greater Shadow Enchantment) on each of them.
In addition to the greater understanding of their marks from Cultural Adaptation, they will each benefit from a +2 Morale bonus to Attacks, Saves, and Skill checks, +10 Circumstance bonus to Diplomacy, Intimidate, and Sense Motive, and they will each have four separate charges which can be used to apply a +4 Competence bonus to any Attack, Save, or Skill check. And since they're Extended and Viserys' caster level is temporarily at 20, each of the spells will last 400 minutes.
In addition, have Tyene cast Wind Walk, Neutralize Poison, and Nondetection on each of them. She can also cast Fire Seeds on one acorn for each of them so that they each have a 15d6 Fire damage ace in the hole in case of an emergency.
EDIT: Might as well have him cast Comprehend Languages on them, too, while he's at it.
