It's all but canon that Balarion is still alive and tormenting Tommen's kittens in the first book, he'll certainly be around now. It shouldn't be difficult to use the Wayfinder to find him in the Red Keep.

@Duesal, @Goldfish, @DragonParadox, I've just tossed a number out here for the 10th Manta Ray. Does this work for you? We are definitely overpaying here a bit.
Imagine the beautiful horror-stricken looks upon the faces of our muggle enemies of we decided to cast Sky Swim in all the Manta Rays and had them fly around over a battlefield? They're not exactly dragons, but there is a certain size where type of monster no longer matters, and I think it might be Colossal.

[X] Try to find the cat and only if that doesn't work out, try something else.
-[X] Add it to the things to be done when you visit the Red Keep again. Which will be soon, considering you also want to have a certain Spider.

Slight mistake with pricing, @Azel. I am assuming that you're doing the discount for all of these Leshys since they're being made with corpses? In that case each one costs 2400 IM, and the total would be 108,000 IM, not 110,400 IM. You're overpaying in the literal sense here.
Adding another then. The 8,800 IM for the 10th Manta is generously overpaying it.
And I just want to have a nice round number and be done with this, since the shuffling around with HD, CR and IM to design these plans is seriously grating.
Shall we Awaken the cat too while we're at it? And then Mindrape it to be deeply loving and loyal to Rhaella. Give it some combat Templates too, to be useful as a bodyguard.

@Azel@Snowfire, would it be okay if we give Rhaenys a dragonpen? I've been wanting to do it for a while, but the timing seems a bit off now. Should we wait?

I'd been wanting to give her the dragonpen since before she asked for Balerion, I just didn't see the need to bring it up until we were actually in front of Rhaenys. Her asking for Balerion has thrown a wrench in those plans.

-[X] Cast Discern Location on Balerion the Cat
-[X] If the cat is in the Red Keep or nearby your agents will attempt to capture it once you increase the infiltration in Kings Landing as planned next month
@DragonParadox
Since we know the name, does Discern Location work?

Assuming it's alive even scry would work normally, you have second hand knowledge of its existence. However if it is alive it'sprobably in the red Keep and that is warded.
@DragonParadox you should probably be told that playing with HD-multiplying templates that increase size by four makes for a "CR 6" beastie with 234 HP, +18 Attack for about 32 damage, 180 ft speed, +18/+6/+9 saves...
Besides Plant+ immunities, SR, Fast Healing, DR 15...
Of course @DragonParadox Has the right to adjust their CR as he sees fit. If he decides to do that, though, it would be better to do so before we place our order so we can change how many we will pay for.
I'm reminded of this piece of equipment from the MIC, the Field Provisions Box.
FIELD PROVISIONS BOX
Price (Item Level): 2,000 gp (6th)
Body Slot: — (held)
Caster Level: 5th
Aura: Faint; (DC 17) conjuration
Activation: Standard (command)
Weight: 1 lb.
This well-crafted wooden box is carved with runes denoting abundance. When activated, a field provisions box produces a full day's sustenance (food and water) for up to fifteen humans or five horses. A field provisions box functions once per day.
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, create food and water. Cost to Create: 1,000 gp, 40 XP, 2 days.
I'm trying to figure out what the pricing would be in Pathfinder and my best guess is 2700GP (spell level 3, caster level 5, command activated 1800, once per day 1/5, 1/2 for item creation if I'm reading that section correctly).
For 13500GP we can make an effectively infinite meal box for 15 people per standard action, though for 43200 we can shift it to 48 people per standard action to save time spent on activating the meal box, but that's likely unnecessary unless the Watch gets absurd amount of volunteers in the next year.
Three actively used Castles for 13500GP leads to 40500GP, or 30375GP with the Extraordinary Artisan discount. As a one time expense until they get enough personnel to fully reopen other Castles, I'd say it would be worth it.
Right there with you, dude. I've done the math on this, too, but didn't get much traction. I think it comes down to it simply being cheaper, with bulk Teleportation and even muggle methods, to supply them in most cases. There is also the matter of crafting time being used for less important tasks.
We lived in the Red Keep at the same time as Rhaenys, so not only do we know the cat's name, we should have seen it in person at some point, fuzzy as those memories might be.
