It allows a save though, doesn't it? May as well Nauseate the target in that case, it's more immediately useful in combat.
Nausea is somewhat easier to prevent or negate, and while Utterdark allows a saving throw, the DC is 2 points higher than Noxious.
What? Amicable Red instead of the ALL SHALT KNEEL BEFORE ME guy we meet before in Lys? Something's fishy! Or... should I say, devilish???

[] What was his plan for the favor he asked of Garin several years ago?
I believe Mel was being honest there, actually. She wanted to take control of the ancient Draconic beings in Valyria who would have been effected by the Orb's power.
Eh, I think she would have needed directions from Burny to find said beings without getting over her head-
Nothing that immediately comes to mind.
I think the Sundering might have occurred even before he was created though, so he probably only knows what his followers might have uncovered around that time, or what we know now. So far every divine entity we've asked for something even close to that timeframe is either honest in telling us they only know so much because they either choose not to remember or literally cannot, and I assume that both relates to how traumatic that was on a universal scale, or they were lying out of their teeth because, I don't fucking know, they don't want Viserys to have that knowledge?
Eh, I'm just wary of the "the faithful decide the god"-bullshit.
Yes, but you're focusing on the wrong thing. I'd suggest industrially farming them so I could get those nice big Linnorm corpses.
You better believe I'd exploit something like that.Honestly I didn't think this would involve him allowing us to ask questions...
Sacrifice is a bad idea right now, it reinforces his current aspects, and we want to wait until we can solidify the form we are content to work with long-term. Or I guess identify if his current form is already one not inimical to our realm.Yes, but you're focusing on the wrong thing. I'd suggest industrially farming them so I could get those nice big Linnorm corpses.
Honestly I didn't think this would involve him allowing us to ask questions...
1. Ask about the legend of Azor Ahai, Nissa Nissa, and Lightbringer.
2. Ask about the first Long Night.
3. Ask about the Great Other.
4. Ask what he remembers of how mankind prevailed against the Red Dragon Empire
5. Ask about the process of becoming a god, the details of how it happened, etc. We witnessed the moment but that's only a part of the puzzle. Anything he's willing to share on that front would be useful.
6. Get a general feel -- carefully -- of how he's changing. That whole "I am the only god" thing needs to go, as does the "all mortals are my slaves" thing.
7. Scope out how he'd like to help against things like Ymeri, the Efreeti (unclean flames), and Tiamat (ultimate enemy)
8. Make sure he's at least willing to work with the other gods against mutual enemies.
I could easily make this list number in the 50s or 60s, but that would mostly be miscellaneous lore. This is the stuff that's actually important to us.
Oh, @Crake, one important thing. We need to get some form of mechanic out of DP for sacrifice rules if we ever choose to do so with R'hllor in the future. The Old Gods have pretty established rules with Day of Blood and Day of Change and using the Tree of the Dawn Age as a benchmark for sacrifices, and Yss has his own rules. We need to know OOC what R'hllor would work with.
I agree we don't sacrifice any time soon. I'm saying we should get the general rules for how it works so we can do it later if we ever need to. It's easier to plan for this sort of thing when we know what's going on.
AKA: Gods be unable to reconcile "YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL YOU DON'T WAKE THE DRAGON" Viserys and "I AM THE DRAGON REBORN, AND THROUGH MADNESS I SHALL PREVAIL" Viserys, caught totally flat-footed.
