I'm in favor.
Looking at the Month Action Plan, I can't actually find what we had set Nettles to work on. We should probably try to figure that out.

I'd just like to see inside her head. I don't think she's going on the Yi-Ti expedition, but the cognitive dissonance that being transported over a hundred years into the future and being thrust into a different body would certianly be interesting to read about. The Festival would make an excellent medium, with her being able to interact with a bunch of westerosi stuff instead of the completely foreign landscape that is SD.
OK then I'm going to say she is probably working with Valaena and Dawfyre at least a few hours a day while she still has the chance.
Interesting thought. I'll see what I can do.

Depends on how greedy Mammon is. If he's willing to plot for the long future rather than the now, gaining True Dragons would be an immense boon to his own hoard and operations in general. Wyrms are no joke after all.
I forget how many eggs he got from Summerhall, but a split between Infernal, Styx, and Abishai would provide a nice mix of long term nest eggs and short term operators.
It also happened in the Books.

[X] Westeros Intel 4.0
-[X] Ask of great secrets among the Westerosi that Varys is aware of (like the "royal" children's true parentage, but it doesn't need to be of the same importance)
-[X] Get a full update on everything he knows that's going on in King's Landing
-[X] OFFER ASSISTANCE TO BLOODRAVEN
--[X] Ask what Bloodraven has been up to.
---[X] To start, does he have any plans he'd like help on? We've already got two of his stronger assets -- Danar Crowl and Alyssa Grafton -- as permanent residents of Sorcerer's Deep. We can provide teleportation and firepower if the mission is important enough.
---[X] Ask for the names and locations of the various septons Bloodraven has been cultivating so that you can possibly plan for them later on.
--[X] We are allies with the Shaitan and the Djinn now, so if there's ever a magic item that Bloodraven needs for his operations he can ask us so long as it's not cripplingly expensive (tens or even hundreds of thousands of IM is fine if the purpose is important enough, though a million would be too expensive)
--[X] Ask if Bloodraven would like any more plant-creatures crafted to serve his purposes
--[X] We will gladly work as a go-between if he wants to leverage our Westerosi allies, Doran, Brune, Monford and the Royces, for something. Or the Inquisition resources we are starting to build up.
--[X] Ask him where he thinks Inquisition bases would be the most useful for our shared goals. Our current bucket list is Darry (friendly lord, major crossroad), Oldtown (focal point of various other factions), Whiteharbor (best connected area in the North), and the Dornish March (important crossroad in Reach, Stormlands and Dorne politics, giving us some insights in their movements and we want to be greatly entrenched there in preparation for the invasion). 2-3 bases in the Westerlands would be great. Crackclaw Point and Dragonstone would be other good targets, though mostly for invasion prep. Maybe Runestone if the intrigue attacks on the Royces keep up.
-[X] THE FEY
--[X] Ask what Bloodraven and Varys will be able to tell you of the various fey courts of Westeros. Which ones, like the one in the Riverlands, are reasonable? Which ones should we watch out for? Where are they located? What are each of them known for?
--[X] Ask for everything Bloodraven and Varys will be able to tell you of the Court of Stars, including history, intel on their rulers, their enemies, etc.
---[X] If it is safe to do so, reveal the Crown of Flowers to Bloodraven, along with your plan to make the fey court swear fealty unto you if they wish to stay in Westeros as the price for the crown's return.
---[X] Ask whatever Bloodraven is able to tell you of Garth Greenhand and how he was able to win the Crown of Flowers from the Court of Stars
---[X] What can Bloodraven and Varys tell you of the operations of the Court of Stars? We'd rather not be caught off guard by another surprise visit from a mythic fey trying to retrieve treasure from our territory.
-[X] THE DEEP ONES
--[X] Ask where Varys and Bloodraven know they've been operating, who they've been fighting, who they've subverted, what their goals are perceived to be, etc.
--[X] Update Bloodraven on your contact with the Lantern-Bearers and their new conflict with the Citadel
--[X] Does Bloodraven or Varys know the locations of any relics or champions of the Deep Ones? The Sistermen, for example, concerningly are said to have webbed fingers.
--[X] Update Bloodraven on the fact that Rodrick the Reader has unofficially sworn fealty to you and will be working with you against the Deep Ones
-[X] THE OTHERS
--[X] Ask if Bloodraven or Varys have managed to discover any nests of the Others or the Winterborn south of the Wall
--[X] Ask if they know the locations of any relics or champions
-[X] LOOT AND MAPS
--[X] In short, any and all intel of Westeros which we would consider useful should be gathered here

----[X] How many Valyrian Dragon eggs in Westeros is Varys aware of, and where are they?
----[X] Does he know where the Royce ancestral Valyrian Steel blade is?
--[X] Take your Map of Westeros, as well as the individual maps of each of the Seven Kingdoms (Map of the North, Map of the Vale, Map of the Riverlands, Map of the Stormlands, Map of the Westerlands, Map of the Iron Islands, Map of the Crownlands, Map of the Reach, Map of Dorne), and have Bloodraven scan through Varys' mind, then update the maps to include the locations of supernatural creatures that Varys is aware of, like fey courts, local monstrous humanoids, openings to the Underdark, lairs of Winterborn servants, etc., everything that Varys has heard about and kept track of, along with updating them with whatever intel Bloodraven may be willing to share.
--[X] Ask Bloodraven to scan Varys' mind and make you a full Map of the Red Keep, complete with secret tunnels, hidden chambers, etc.
--[X] Ask Bloodraven to make a Map of King's Landing using Varys' intelligence.
---[X] If he is worried about the information being divined, these particular maps will always be under our Mind Blank and will be stored in our cloak unless we're personally using them.
--[X] Ask Bloodraven to update your Legendary Map of the Far North
--[X] Can Bloodraven do us a favor and point us to the adamantine mine wherever it may be near Dyre Den? If we're told where it is we can tell Lord Brune where to start mining and help him diversify his income.
We're making good progress.

Yeah I am starting to doubt that strongly. We are gonna be here for a while.
Would more interludes breaking up the exposition help?

We are going to be here a while, there's no doubting that, but at the same time this is still the best option.
This is vital intel that we need to act on ASAP, and the only way we get everything is to sit through the entire interrogation. Otherwise we lose the advantage, and Varys' assets melt away, and the plots that he was peripherally aware of change.
If it were just random lore I'd understand wanting to leave, but this is getting information on everything Varys was up to and everything he knew about the geopolitical situation.

It would, but also simply giving a large info dump in spoilers would help if you think it's becoming too dry. Get the highlights IC with the gory details in a list for us to plan later.

Please don't.
I like this infodump greatly.
So much sweet sweet information we were so starved for.
And not only about shitfucked people of Westeros, but magical threats as well!

In canon not in this story, the person I was talking to was talking about canon event, in canon Catelyn's corpse is found by the brotherhood without banners, Thoros raise her, causing their current leader who has been raised by Thoros to die.
I think it also happen in the book, I have neither watched the show nor read the books however, so I only have all the fanfics and wiki's I have read to go on.

I've never once minding just getting a large infodump in spoilers. It would make things go a lot quicker and get us far more.

Don't get me wrong. I like what we are getting right now. Just you know I am just doubting that we made good progress considering how many questions we have. The longer we are here the more I get to avoid Melisandre so take as long as needed.
That just feels like giving up. Visiting Bloodraven in his place of power should not be the story of being handed a laundry list of information, the character deserves better.

I would like to point out that "cripplingly expensive" is starting around the clock of a million IM in my books. Anything less is well worth the expense, as Bloodraven keeps showing time and time again that he is 100% trustworthy and doing marvelous things for us.
Maybe add that we will gladly work as a go-between if he wants to leverage our Westerosi allies, Doran, Brune, Monford and the Royces, for something. Or the Inquisition resources we are starting to build up. I shudder to imagine what he can do with people in actual authority positions and a bunch of human agents with a good support network.
Also ask him where he thinks Inquisition bases would be the most useful for our shared goals. My current bucket list is Darry (friendly lord, major crossroad), Oldtown (focal point of various other factions), Whiteharbor (best connected area in the North) and the Dornish March (important crossroad in Reach, Stormlands and Dorne politics, giving us some insights in their movements and we want to be greatly entrenched there in preparation for the invasion).
I have to do a quick round of googling to figure out which areas the lords mentioned last updates are coming from, since 2-3 bases in the Westerlands would be great. Crackclaw Point and Dragonstone would be other good targets, though mostly for invasion prep. Maybe Runestone if the intrigue attacks on the Royces keep up.

@DragonParadox, have we already dropped off the Leshys we commissioned for Bloodraven a while back? If not we could give them to him now.
Adding this now.

Only House Banefort is looking promising, being a major player in the Crag.
If we really want to get our fingers on the pulse of the Westerlands, we would need bases in Sarsfield, the Hornvale and Crakehall, though we could easily plop us down in the Oceanroad area over in the reach if Crakehall is too hot from Lucan's meddling.

I think you did yeah. I've been doing his rolls with a leshy bonus at least.

Alright, in that case I guess we can just ask him if he'd like any more Leshys or even Treants.
While he would doubtless appreciate the enthusiasm the treants are a bit noticeable for intrigue work, half the reason he wanted leshies is because they can camuflage perfectly as plants.
