We have an Orb of Mental Renewal that fixes that these days.

Orb of Mental Renewal:
Orb of Mental Renewal:

What part of the update felt like self-pity?
I tried very hard to avoid it so I am interested to know where I might have given that impression.
Oops. Forgot that since it's new. I'll make a note to mention it in the next update.

Carve out a tiny slither with adamantium dagger, from the inside of the skull? Or the inside of the joints. Assuming we only need a few millimeter square material each. Or the inside of a joint and then put the bone back in place to cover the area.
Bottle it, as is Tradition in the Red Keep.
And, lo, did the Dragonking Viserys have a nice conversation with a lovely servant who wanted to emigrate.
As he was in the Red Keep, this involved casting Smokey Confinement.
Which would be fine when he was infiltrating, but now he's leige, it has gotten a bit silly.
Edit: wait, if we Rez the bodies of the beast-dragons from a bit of their bones, does that make the old ones worthless for materials, or just non-rezzable? Because the first would be funny.

So Varys himself is warded against divination. But there's no way all his spies are as well. How often does any given "little bird" report to someone who in turn reports to Varys? Does he even use a middle man for his little birds? Depending on the time investment that would necessitate, i say we use Divination magic to find one of Varys' spies and follow him/her until he/she leads us to Varys. The tailor link just seems to weak to me, I honestly don't expect that to pan out any time soon. What do you guys think?

I don't understand why people get up in arms about viserys feeling guilty. Its a representation of the discussion as a whole, and incorporates opposed viewpoints as internal struggle.

It wasn't, it doesn't encapsulate that Viserys has been is Master Manipulator mode for months and is just now realizing that two major things in the mental basket were on a collision course, how he deals with enemies, and how he regards children, and realized that all some people have to do is meet a certain criteria of check boxes for him to unsubscribe all humanity from them in some ways.
It was punchy, I liked it, it is keeping in line with your pledge for Viserys to be self aware and not self deluding.
And no, contrary to popular belief, the calculus for previous decisions doesn't impede on an average person's calculus for present ones, especially if they realize they might have been trying to keep it sight out of mind due to very real mounting pressure their circumstances and responsibility had forced upon them.

[X] After Vee thoroughly questions him about any children operating in the castle who fit the description of the one we previously encountered, who we now know serve as Varys' unwilling agents, place Balerion in a Smoky Confinemen bottle using Blood Wish, heal the Charisma damage with an Orb of Mental Renewal charge.
-[X] Then continue the original plan to seek out Varys, Grandmaester Pycelle, and Jon Arryn, in that order of priority, for capture or elimination.

@DragonParadox, does Balerion know anything about Varys and the Little Birds? How much does Balerion know about the hidden passages?
@Goldfish, perhaps a bit of interrogation first? This cat has lived in the Red Keep all its life. It probably knows quite a bit of what we want.

Firefrog isn't wrong, y'all. I understand the annoyance and frustration from back when he kept asking about transforming into a Dragon, but he hasn't done that in a long time and he's never set out to be deliberately offensive. If you want to ignore him, fine, but don't be mean about it or talk shit for no good reason. Let's all be adults here?

Just makes them non-rezzable. They're still plenty valuable as dragon bones.

The idea was to meet with Baelish in the city once Maelor establishes contact.
In the keep, we wanted to locate Varys, Pycelle and Jon Arryn, in that order, to capture and / or kill them.

Should we retreat to Chatayas and pool our intel with everyone else?

What exactly did we get except the cat? We just came here and we just need to find our marks.
Varys takes precedence, but since Viserys personally knows both Pycelle and Jon Arryn, those two should be easy to Wayfinder. I sincerely doubt that they got their own Mindblanks, as Arryn is anti-magic and Pycelle a low-level patsy.

My reasoning was that Varys trumps everything else. We have no idea where to find him, and traipsing through the Red Keep without knowing where to look could tip him off. The safe option would be to regroup, get updated on all the intel, then move out to kill him. After he's dead we can take care of the other objectives.
*rolls for it*
He knows where at least some of Varys' little birds sleep. There is this narrow walled in space above the keep kitchens where heat bleeds in from below.

You know the trophy hall really needs detailed labels in just imagining some hapless fool touching a super poisonous devils skin and going to an epileptic fit or maybe touching the mucous of an aboleth when we get around to killing some of them.
It brings whole new meaning to the don't touch the exhibits when doing so fan actually straight up kill said toucher.
