This shouldn't take more than two or three days, and would ideally replace whatever adventuring people want to drag him on this turn. He should still have significant amounts of time to rule.

The best we can do for disease and poison remedies with Alchemy would be Antiplague and Antitoxin. They are both fairly effective, but somewhat expensive and with a relatively high crafting DC, so it would be difficult to produce them in significant quantities.

An accompanying action to Waymar doing alchemy course - Tyene is busy with decyphering the mess that this book is, as the precise measurments on the back seem to show that it is indeed a cypher, and not jsut a bunch of madman's gibberish.
Hopefully it will add a hefty bonus to Waymar's action.

*Shrugs* Alright, whatever. It's been ten minutes and I'm already sick of this, so do whatever you want. Is there any other parts of my plan you have an opinion on?

@Goldfish, how much can we expand our production by? I would like to expand Healing Salve and Night Tee, and add facilities for Antiplague, Antitoxin, and Insect Repellant. Especially Insect Repellant. That one will be a massive money-maker as the Imperium expands into the jungles.
Oh, neat. So presumably with the completion of this we can start getting alchemist minions.

Sounds still decent. We should produce those two and insect repellent for the open market, prioritizing Naath and the Basilisk Isles for sale.

Chill. You are just proposing to recruit two people I see no reason at all to recruit except fan desire.
As for the rest, it mostly aligns with my ideas, though I'm a bit more ambitious.
I want to throw serious Intrigue ressources at KL to kill Varys, subvert his network and set up the first external Inquisition base there.
- Location
- United States
The two things I brought up were my main issues, I have no problem with the other stuff.
Maybe we could hunt Varys down in the dreamscape and murder him there?

@LonelyWolf999, as a compromise, I wanted to assign Dany to that task due to her dream abilities. How about also taking Rhealla along to exploit her knowledge of the keep and if she decides to try and recruit Baristan on her own, I won't complain.

That can be arranged.
We can expand as much as we want, if we're willing to pay. Each production line is really expensive to set up and takes a month before it can even begin producing items.
We have eight production lines now. I wouldn't want to add more than four more at a time. We also need to be careful of not expanding past the limit of eligible project managers with the necessary Alchemy ranks.
We still have Mercy and Valeria to produce limited numbers of less important items or things not worth setting up an entire production line.

I'd say we're willing to pay. This is a major cash cow for us.
How long does it take to train new managers?

We're currently using 5th level or higher Hedge Mages. As long as we keep turning more of them out at the Scholarium, that shouldn't be an issue.

Sound reasoning, though I don't think attempting to flip Jaime is worth the effort or risk, and Barristan just gets on my nerves too much to want to deal with him at all.

I ended up asking about that over PMs.

Then I would do 2 lines of Explosive Packs to supply the army and one line of healing balms and night tea as cash cows.

Saan and Wyla are staring balefully at you from beneath hundreds of mosquito bites.
On a more serious note, one of those Explosive Packs should be Insect Repellant instead.@Goldfish @Azel, I found something really neat when I was poking around Dragon Magazine 280, found on page 53:
Soupstone:
When dropped into a container of water, this small smooth stone turns the water into a hot, nourishing broth of a flavor chosen when the stone is made. A soupstone can transform up to ten gallons of water before it becomes inert. It has no effect on water-based creatures like water elementals.
Crafting DC: (Alchemy 15)
Cost: 300 gp or 60 IM
Possible resource for a marching Legion? Also a great resource for an adventuring party. It's literally instant soup, perfect for rough traveling.
Also, in the same magazine, page 52:
Insect Repellant:
This strong-smelling liquid can be applied to the skin to repel insects. It keeps Tiny or smaller insects at bay for 4 hours per application. Larger insects and those under the control of a spell must make a Will Save (DC 12) to approach a protected character. The benefit is lost if the character attacks the insect.
Crafting DC: (Alchemy 15)
Cost: 5 gp or 1 IM
... Needless to say we should spam the hell out of Insect Repellant.

It's just the circumstances put the tide against you there. Jaime needed and still needs to be in his darkest, most desperate, phase of his life before he's even really worth considering spending more than a few minutes thinking about him. He's still that early phase Jaime who threw a child out a window to preserve an illicit tryst with his own sister, the Queen.
And even beyond that, things being what they are, while his family is still mostly intact, he won't betray them.
Barristan I have no feelings about one way or the other, but I doubt he'll come seeking us. He had a low opinion of Viserys since he was a child without ever actually having met him after that fact, just trusting in confirmation bias, as I believe he did in a lot of things if you pay attention to his perspective and shared opinions with various characters.
More than that, he's a knight who believes in that White Cloak and that it still carries honor. We saw that honor die with Aerys' reign in more than one pretty white cloak.

Hey so are there any artifacts or objects that are sacred or important to the Ithhlid? For our war I was thinking we grab such an artifact and have the Old Gods lay a blood curse on it. That way they are weak and we can kill them in droves.

The Seastone Chair comes to mind, but that's about it. We already sacrificed the Driftwood Crown. All other artifacts are just legends we haven't encountered yet, so mostly a moot point.

Yeah that's fair. 'Twas a long shot anyway. Back to the drawing board for more ideas then.

You can probably consider Ulitharids as living artifacts. We just need to get lucky and catch one.

As for insect repellent, if we want to broaden our repertoire I would rather switch the healing balm and night tea to insects and antiplaugue

That would be fine, although I highly doubt Rhaella would enjoy returning to the Red Keep or be inclined to want Barristan back.
Basically, my logic for Barristan is that he's probably a high level PC, he's extremely respected and thus him defecting to us would be a massive PR hit, and I don't like the current plan of him just repeating the same shit he did at the Ruby Ford and bowing to the winning king. I want to make him confront what a disgrace the Kingsguard has made of itself long before Jaime murdered our father and Robert filled it with scum, and do something about it. Whether that's swearing to us or going adventuring in disguise in an effort to rediscover the true meaning of chivalry is equally acceptable in my eyes. What I'm trying to say is that he's been not just a shiny I want to grab, there are valid strategic reasons for this.
