Why was every supernatural faction clowning on her while we cruised through them as if the dragon-train had no brakes?

draconic supremacy for the win

Probably because she didn't deliberately take insane risks like throwing down with an aspect of a ruler of one of the nine hells.

considering we had the home field advantage , extorted a deal too good to pass off of him and had a pre buffed min maxed party to take him , I would argue it was a perfectly calculated risk considering we took him down in a single round

If I may ask. Why do you dislike Lanna? I mean not to sound rude but you usually don't care if characters are evil as shit as long as they are useful. Do you think she is going to be disloyal?

1. She talked herself into idiotic, self-destructive nonsense once. She is too powerful to risk such instability. Harvest her knowledge and get rid of the rest.

2. Years of people trying to make her out as some abused waif who is secretly a saint and would love to serve us, because no reasonable and good person could ever oppose Viserys.

Don't forget to harvest plenty of blood from her and Gerion. Not every day we get simulacrum fodder from high level PCs who we don't care about.

Fair enough.

[X] Azel.
She's extremely bad PR, knowingly perverted best! Couatl's shrine and in possession of notions wholly unsuitable for the Imperium we are building. Such also being humanized is simply not a consideration. Neither is her husband, for that matter.

@Azel , Might I interest you in adding a method of disposal to the vote? Would suggest we permanently bookify and store her. It stops cold all silly buggers am aware of, beyond such getting stolen - since she is not technically dead as a book.

1. True, but the same goes for Saenena and Rina as well. (well, maybe Rina shouldn't count for her lack of power at that point, but suicide is the ultimate example of a self-destructive idea you talk yourself into)
Self-destructive messes happen when people are in bad situations they are not prepared to deal with. She has made her very serious mistakes, but there's still time to learn from them.

2. Well, can't fault you for personal issues after all these years of premature arguing. Repeating the same stuff again and again...
 
Sacrificing is off the table for obvious reasons, but there are plenty of other methods.

1. Regular execution. In the grand scheme of things factions like Devils, Deep Ones, Rakshasas, etc have dozens of archmages to throw at us, which they will throw at us. The possibility of Lanna and Gerion showing up after death isn't really a big factor if anyone's even willing to use them as pawns at this point. Granted, they'd still need to bypass Viserys' Rest Eternal spell, but there are no doubt casters who can do it.
2. Bookification. Obvious gains of arcane lore, with a risk of someone freeing them. But if someone sneaks into Lya's Library and starts messing with forbidden lore we have bigger things to worry about.
3. Bottle them. No real benefit here other than keeping Lanna and Gerion in the cloak. Only way they get out of that is if Viserys is taken down.
4. Age them to death. Since we're going off 3.5 as our base, aging them to death will make them ineligible for any mortal resurrection. That said this is largely pointless and a waste of sacrifices needed to power it since Yss is how we'd have to do it.

Bookification and then regular execution seems like the best choice overall.

Sympathize/agree with Azel's vote but feel like it'd be best to keep this high so the questions are more visible in the vote Tally. There's just something clunky about the winning vote referencing another imo.

Also kudos to Sapphon for trying to do an alternate, but I can say I am 100% not down for recruiting Ms. "Let's Create the Fucking Dysfunctional as Fuck WH40K Inquisition." who somehow managed to add a new trauma onto best baby snek.

I'm on my phone. I'll copy over everything once I'm back on my desktop.
