It needlessly complicates things.

The only plan I could get behind is to have Dany deliver a vial of poison with a dreamvisit. Everything else is very likely to backfire massively.

Zherys can only do it because he controls the magical part of the guards.

I'll back Artemis, mostly because I have great sympathy for Hermetia, if not her father. And I feel like Viserys wouldn't forgive himself if he didn't even try.

I'm unwilling to risk Dany for something so pointless as helping an old man that would have seen us dead avoid a painful death. This might not be the best place to be Dreamwalking, considering all the lingering Valyrian magic we are unfamiliar with and Ymeri's relatively recent presence.
 
Could we sneak in and use something that makes him immune to pain for a time? Let them have their execution ,but he wont feel it since he's too numbed to feel anything for the moment?

Tyene can probably cook up a poison that will leave him utterly unresponsive but alive, if we slip that into his last meal he wont feel the execution.

[X] No, you can do without Zherys' offerings

We want shinies but Hermentia's loyalty is worth more than all that. She's about to become part of our circle (and thus our party!), giving up some shinies for what seem to be a core loyalty quest is cheap.

Yeah I would rather give up the shinies than not help her father, however I want a clearer picture of what we can do without Zherys help to help him before I vote, if Tyene can cook up a poison that leaves him unable to feel anything including pain, then I say we figure out a way to give him that, instead of giving up the shinies.

We have Hermetia's loyalty.

Not only did we help her escape an unwanted marriage and got her set up far away from her family, when that same family tracked her down and killed her, we murdered the fuck out of them and returned her to life at no small expense.

If she turns against us over this, or anything else, I will be the first one calling for her death.
 
@Crake, your latest vote was badly typed so was not counted

This neatly solves the problem.

Edit: Not sure what went wrong.

Turning against us is unlikely, being not quite as firmly loyal to us however is likely, it's likely to be the difference between she likes us, and she's ready to die for us.

I prefer long term loyalty over the short term reward.

Despite Zherys paying us being part of the deal, the meat of the agreement is securing the inheritance for Hermetia. Why can't we just poison the man ourselves and give him a clean death while still giving Hermetia as much of her inheritance as possible?

By the way. The poison can be one that diminishes pain, then we can probably burn the man to make it look like Ymeri's work.

It depends on the poison. If we killed him in the cell Zherys would be pissed off. However, we have access to Tyene who's one of the best poison mistresses in Prime Material. She could brew a painkiller for Hermetia's father. That at least would make the death somewhat cleaner.

could we do a delayed poison to kill him right before the torture? and would either of these options, the painkiller or delayed poison, still make her feel better, her father's corpse will end up mutilated by the torture though and would painkiller really help that much in her mind? She is the really the only reason why we even care.

I would still go with the painkiller. Killing him right before the torture would make Zherys really suspicious and he'd be much less helpful on the matter of Hermetia's inheritance.

because we have no idea how hard it is to do ourselves? and if we get detected we have little idea about the entanglements that would result?

I mean theoretically we could also just fireball him before "it get's good" and then leave with a "whatcha gonna do".
