If we take here we lose the support of any remaining Targaryen loyalists. We lose Stannis, and the Starks. We would be demonstrating ourselves as being tainted with the same genetic madness as Rhaegar and Aerys. We lose all legitimacy and set ourselves up for a troublesome reign.

Oh, don't overdo it.

It would not be smart move, but certainly not the end of all.
For once we could keep it secret if we wanted to, on the other side getting a child out of the royal court at KL is a universally good deed.
 
Guys, much as I hate to be a killjoy (and this is a very fun discussion) keep in mind that you would be revealing that you can infiltrate the Red Keep. That would cause them to up their security by any means available.

It's a shame we can't give her a Valyrian Steel version of one of our Festival Figurines, perhaps the Dragon one?
 
While it would be hilarious to have Viserys reveal himself we're kinda in an intrigue action at the moment. Really as soon as Varys gets an inkling that Viserys is here he's going to bolt. He's too competent not to realize how much of a threat we are and I doubt he'd want to be in the area while we are also there.
 
I doubt we'll be visiting again after we robbed them blind.

We can always meet Baelish in one of his brothels.

I'm pretty sure we have no intention of coming back after today.

Updated plan:

[X] Plan Giving Cersei A Heart Attack
-[X] After ensuring that your sudden appearance will not appear to be a result of magic, and checking for any hidden guards or other guardian entities, greet the Princess as yourself, come to collect a long-lost pet.
--[X] Tell her that the cat's name is Balerion, and that you've come to take him back to his owner.
---[X] Make a joke about how cats often are less owned and more owners themselves.
-[X] If she asks for your name, have her promise not to tell anyone (a toddler will break this promise in all of two hours) and then tell her.
-[X] If it appears reasonable, there is no one else watching, and you are certain that no alarm spells will be triggered by it, remove the dust and spiderwebs from her clothing with a small working, seemingly bound to one of your rings.
--[X] 'Accidentally' acquire a few hairs in the process - people don't notice a few strands breaking as long as you don't pull them.
-[X] Before you leave, be sure to offer her some chocolate and a few festival figurines, mentioning that any Princess should have fine toys.

I for one would love to see what they can do.

We have never spend much effort on direct warding,, aside from the Snare, might as well see what the rivals get up to and eventually steal it.
 
Hmm, ok. I get that being ourselves would be fun, but I think that's actually a crux for this.

What do people think? Should we be openly ourselves, or should be just throw shade without being totally blatant? I'm torn, myself.

While we don't really have to worry about infiltrating the Red Keep after this action I'm more worried about Varys going to ground after hearing that Viserys is in the area. Also I was also thinking that we'd want to get agents inside of the Red Keep in order to get a information network going on. I'm unsure if we wanted to either use infiltrators or people already employed in the Keep but I imagine we'd want to keep security down for this purpose.
 
@Azel your input is needed. You're our resident long distance planner where it comes to the Inquisition. Were we intending to get agents inside the Red Keep?

I don't think it's too harmful to use Valryian features, as there's a whole lot of them in Essos after all and the Baratheon/Lannisters might just think that Viserys was operating in the area which is a whole lot less frighting then Viserys himself being in the area. I'm just wary of using our actual name at the moment.

I personally think we should leave option open to come back to Red Keep in future even if it's just to make invasion of it easier at some point.

Like, these two parts are just going overboard. Marcella might very well figure out who we are, especially if we tell her who we are.

Thats apparently the point. The plan so far is too make Cersei full on paranoid and seeing Viserys in every nook and cranny of the Keep, thereby causing her to lash out. I'm against purposely telling Marcella who we are seeing as we want to eventually infiltrate the Keep again as well as keep Varys from running into hiding as soon as he figures out we're in the area.

Varys should not live to see another sunrise, all goes well. And he'll GTFO if it goes badly because he knows we're on to him after noticing his Imp is gone.

Security will rise regardless, because we're going to try and kill the Master of Whispers and robbing them of Dragon eggs and bones, if not the complete treasurie.

We can always get spies inside the old fashioned way. Paying off the servants that already serve, or letting spies get hired.
