[X] Plan: "We start dealing with Court of Stars now, Boiiiiiiiz!"

[X] In preparation for accelerated Summoning, Viserys will create a series of ten temporary Demiplanes, one per day leading up to his and Lya's efforts. Each will be intended for one day of use before being Dispelled in order to prevent planar instability. With guidance from Lya and his own deep understanding of planar mechanics, Viserys will determine the best Plane other than the Material Plane to serve as a link for the Demiplanes, the plane from which the initial spell will be cast.
-[X] The Demiplanes will be created using Create Greater Demiplane.
--[X] Each Demiplane will be warded using a Forbiddance spell which encompasses the entire space, except for one small area that will be used for entry and exit, and the Summoning Circle itself. The entry/exit point will be blocked by a large stone block which we can move in and out of place as needed. The walls of each Demiplane will be coated in a thin sheet of transmuted lead for additional anti-Divination purposes, and the Mage's Private Sanctum and Lost Passage spells will be placed on the day of the Summoning.
--[X] The Summoning Circle will feature an inverted Magic Circle Against Evil along with a Hallow spell linked to a Dimensional Anchor effect to allow Summoning but to prevent the circle from being used as an entry or exit point from the Demiplane using dimensional travel magic or abilities.
---[X] The Summoning Circle will feature a Hardened Steel vat which will be used to contain an Advanced Stone Pudding identical to the one being used in the Snare this month.
--[X] Another Hallow spell linked to a Resist Energy (Acid) spell will protect everyone, our Summoned and Petrified Brimoraks included, from incidental Acid damage from the Stone Pudding.
--[X] A Shrink Item Chamber identical to the advanced model being used in the Snare will be shrink all of the Petrified Brimoraks for easy storage and transport.
-[X] As detailed here, once Summoning begins, Lya and Viserys should be able to Summon 394 Brimoraks per day per Demiplane, totaling 2,364 HD.
-[X] Companions and additional guards who will help oversee the Summoning will be determined later in the month when the process actually begins.

[X] In-between creating the Demiplanes, Viserys will:
-[X] Visit Orphne court and trade back his Shadow,
-[X] Spend some time as Buttercup in Westeros
(This is the direct "we want this done before the 11th of the month", @DragonParadox)

[X] Whether Viserys and others will create more disposable Demiplanes once the ten are used is up to a vote later, keep the possibility of summoning until the very end of the month, in mind.

Wait, did we just vote for that?

Jaime is neither in the small council nor has he any reason to appear before it?

Edit: To be clear, the vote explicitly included Kevan, not Jaime.

The winning vote had this in it:

-[] After this, during a meeting of the Small Council where Cersei, Jaime and Kevan Lannister are present, but not Joffrey or Pycelle, have Varys blow himself up to kill them all.
 
Silent Plots

Third Day of the Third Month

Although the memory of Tyrosh lies uneasy in your mind, you remind yourself that it is unlikely that anyone but a rank fool would think to present the bodies of children to you these days. You have flouted the Hound's new allegiance in public and on mirror news. The implications should be obvious to most, and from your recollections of Baristan Selmy, not to mention the man's reputation, you have no doubt he can deal with fools. "Leave the eldest Joffrey in the capital, try to get the others moved towards Casterly Rock. We can pick them up on the way?"

"That might prove difficult, the Queen is attached to her children and fears for them as only one with a heavy conscience can,"
comes the thoughtful reply.

You consider what you know of Cersei Lannister's deeds as queen and her manner at court, the woman who is currently an excuse away from murdering her husband. "I am surprised she has a conscience to burden."

"By her lights, she is the victim in all this,"
Bloodraven replies. "Do you still want me to work with her on arranging Baratheon's suspicious death?"

"If you are already struggling to get the younger children out, don't bother, see to is that 'Varys' goes out with a blast."
You carefully consider the names of the Usurper's Small Council. "Remove the Queen, her bother and their uncle Kevan, but ensure the prince lives and so does Pyrcelle."

A tinge of surprise touches the ancient sorcerer's thoughts, not at those you have asked spared, but at one of the names you have called out to die. "The Kingslayer?"

"He does not deserve to die, but neither does he exist in a vacuum. He is Tywin's son, but for the Kingsguard he should be his heir and he is Cersei's brother."
You recall the earnest young knight from the dream. He would not accept his family's doom from ruthless practicality. "I hope whatever fate awaits his soul will reward him in the next life for his deeds that day. I cannot reward him in this one."

A thread of grim understanding coils around your thoughts, what might perhaps be a nod if you were speaking face to face. "I see." A moment later, almost reluctantly, he adds. "I will regret this body's passing."

"There is no reason why we cannot grow one less recognizable... and without the ordinance inside,"
you reply, adding an edge of humor to the words before they might grow too grim. There will be war, yes, and death, but far less of both than you might have expected even two years ago, and when the dust is settled your family will return in triumph to the lands you have been banished from.

"Very well then... let the Pacification of the Western Provinces begin," comes the reply in like tone. Of all the skills the Last Greenseer possesses, many of which you have learned over the years, you are still not quite sure how he manages to get capital letters across in has mind voice.

What next?

OOC: Really bit short, but this was the natural break point. Not yet edited.
Here's an edited version of the chapter, DP.
 
Edit: To be clear, the vote explicitly included Kevan, not Jaime.
@Artemis1992, Jaime was in fact explicitly listed:
[X] Split them up after Roberts death:
-[X] Keep Joffrey in Kings Landing as he will be king and make sure he stays alive long enough for Cersei to mess things up even more then they already are.
-[X] Have Myrcella and Tommen brought to Casterly Rock for their safety, but abduct them on the way.
-[X] After this, during a meeting of the Small Council where Cersei, Jaime and Kevan Lannister are present, but not Joffrey or Pycelle, have Varys blow himself up to kill them all.
As for this:
Not in the Small Council, at least not without higher likelyhood than any other Kingsguard.

In this timeline he isn't (and will never be) the Lord Commander.
Do you think Cersei is going to follow the rules of propriety once she manages to get a regency and be acting queen? She'd order Barristan away on a whim so Jaime could stand in his stead. It's Cersei, her arrogance knows no bounds.

Hm... that removes a bunch of plausible deniability if Robert dies in the explosion too. Not optimal, especially if it's just to save the Myrcella and Tommen from imaginary assassins.

*sigh*

Whatever. We have Pycelle to pin this on. The official version will be that he planted the bomb and tried to defect and then we throw him in prison for the rest of his life as punishment for such craven assassination. That will be about 3 days before he poisons himself and a certain young man named Paester Mycelle will soon after be spotted in his new town house in Tolos.

Okay, sorry. I looked it over twice, but still somehow missed his name. No idea why.

Well then, voted in I guess.
He deserved better.

Edit: But if we kill Cersei we can't reasonably expect to keep him anyway.

@DragonParadox, what's the biggest thing stopping Cersei's assassination attempt right now? Having her messily kill Robert is a big part of our plans, and it was weird that Viserys so easily let that go.

Wait, I thought this was you guys changing your minds on the Cersei part of the plot, misread the vote. One moment while I edit.
 
Am I the only one who finds that kinda sad?

I mean, killing all those canon-important characters for little reason?
It's not like Jaime or Cersei could have really hurt us without the Iron Throne or their father's power behind them.

I even remember that we made plans for Cersei to go into exile in Volantis or somewhere even further, so we don't have to deal with the royal kids after killing both their parents.

For what it's worth Viserys agrees with you IC, just not enough o let the obvious Lannister heir go free if you guys are planning to root out the whole House
Eh, that has lost importance ages ago.
By now our Empire has grown big enough that we could literally put them somewhere nobody ever heard the name Lannister.

I have never seen Viserys as so vengeful that he would kill people for their family's crimes and I do not see it as a necesessity by a long shot at this point.
It's not even tactically all that helpful, the difference between Westeros without leadership and Westeros under Cersei's leadership is zero.
At most a minor convenience.

On the other hand keeping people alive because they are cannon characters feels sort of unnatural. This is not Viserys' zoo for Game of Thrones characters. Also you do have the bomb right there and it would cause a lot of chaos and give you a good scapegoat for Rovert's death.
 
OK Edits done. The (attempted) timeline will be this:
  1. Get younger kids out of KL
  2. Have Cersei kill Robert
  3. Blow up Small council and Jaimie
@Azel @Crake and everyone else planning intrigue, is this the intended course of events?
Killing robert is actually suposed to be the first thing. After that get the kids outside KL.
[X] Split them up after Roberts death:
-[X] Keep Joffrey in Kings Landing as he will be king and make sure he stays alive long enough for Cersei to mess things up even more then they already are.
-[X] Have Myrcella and Tommen brought to Casterly Rock for their safety, but abduct them on the way.
-[X] After this, during a meeting of the Small Council where Cersei, Jaime and Kevan Lannister are present, but not Joffrey or Pycelle, have Varys blow himself up to kill them all.
 
Cersei killing Robert does cover Viserys in a lot of ways. If anyone ever investigates it will point to Cersei. All Viserys did is remove the safety net we had on Robert. So Viserys shouldn't show up in anyway on Roberts death.
 
Rather not blame Pycelle for anything or get him killed. We made a deal with him and he has done his part.
We are also giving him a full new identity after that.
Old man he is, blank slate start with the full privileges granted by Imperial Citizenship is kinda great, yeh?

Killing off Lannisters is mostly about framing the right sort of narrative for us and our take-over, the way I see it.

We want as little tension to remain after we take over, and no chance of re-reconquest attempts arising years afterwards.

Sure, canon characters, yadda-yadda, but it would make as much sense to do if they were OCs.
It's just what we did with Lys, did we not?
And partially in Tyrosh, too.
Part of our MO really.

Yes. We have been planning to kill them for literal years, both OOC and IC. I'm not sure why you're trying to argue against it at this point.
Having Cersei kill Robert of her own initiative is also going to be pretty useful politicaly speaking. Not massively important or anything, but it's a nice bonus.

Yep.

1. Robert dies
2. Cersei gets paranoid and sends Myrcella and Tommen to Casterly Rock while keeping Joffrey close to her
3. Cersei becomes a hysterically bad queen, making all sorts of deranged decisions and generally dragging the Lannister name through the mud. The goal here is to traumatize the nobles and smallfolk of King's Landing and make this the last impression of House Lannister there is.
4. And this culminates with the Small Council blowing up.
 
Didn't Bloodraven point out its was unlikely that Cersei would part with her kids willingly? Bloodraven could convince someone like Kevan to help maybe but not sure that would work.
