@Goldfish, you should probably add actually finding and questioning the little birds to locate Varys.

I assumed they would be used to find Varys, but it would be better to be more specific.

[X] After Vee thoroughly questions him about any children operating in the castle who fit the description of the one we previously encountered, who we now know serve as Varys' unwilling agents, place Balerion in a Smoky Confinemen bottle using Blood Wish, then heal the Charisma damage with an Orb of Mental Renewal charge.
-[X] Locate Varys' 'little birds' then use them to ascertain the man's whereabouts.

Ok so I was researching on the wiki where exactly Robert stored the Dragon skulls after claiming the Red Keep and it says that they were put into the Cellars of the Red Keep. We know a couple of the skulls from the wiki and here's what given:

Balerions Skull - the largest of the nineteen
Vhagar's skull
Meraxes skull
The Last Dragons Skull
Skull belonging to one of the last two hatchlings born on Dragonstone
Unidentified skull over three thousand years old.
Possibly Meleys skull
Possibly Arrax's Skull
And Possibly Caraxes Skull

These are only the named ones on the wiki and it's stated that there were nineteen skulls total. I think we should probably prioritize both Balerions Skull along with the one thats over three thousand years old.

Is taking a small piece off and casting make whole an option so that they don't notice them missing or is that not doable?

For anyone who is curious if you had failed the save Viserys would not have automatically have lost his soul. The enemy would still have to break though his talismans so in order:
  1. The PfE amulet breaks 5% chance of blocking the attack
  2. The Soulfire Bracers break 33% chance of blocking the attack
  3. The Crown breaks 75% chance of blocking the attack

Shit. We had a roughly 16% chance of losing our soul here. Goddamn that's way too high for my comfort.

Also @Goldfish does either Viserys, Dany, or Vee have the spells to identify what types of magic items Myrcella has on her? I'm not expecting a lot but it'd be nice to have a baseline that we can account for our enemies to have.

. . . Whoops. Should have done Arcane Sight before dispel magic.

Viserys could cast Greater Arcane Sight, but it would be a wasted spell slot. We can't steal it from her without risking exposure, while knowing if she is wearing any enchanted items doesn't really benefit us either.
 
K I got nothing else to add then. Though I do think we should try and get some of those skulls out on this trip at the least. As well as seeing if we can find Roberts new armor set.

Wait I had a thought. Do you remember how Lord Sunglass is the Master of Ships? What if we put into his head the idea of Weirwood ships and have him try to get it passed? If he succeeds then the North is pissed and if he fails then the rumours can reach North and the North is pissed

It's funny how this story ends with the equivalent of "...and then Viserys gave the Elder Evil a wedgie, stole his lunch money, pushed him into a puddle of mud, and called him a weanie-nosed nerd before hopping on his motorcycle and riding away into the sunset with the Prom Queen".

If we wanted a trophy sure, but if we want to actually resurrect, and or talk to the dragons we have to take the entire skull.

We very much don't.
DP allowed us to reconstruct enough of a skull to ask questions from a small piece of bone/pile of ashes for a while now.
That was even reflectected in-story! Dany did just that with the ashes of a guard thrown into the river.

I can see it now. Varys with the top of his skull removed, while Vee stands behind him with her set of fleshcrafting tools digging around in his grey matter, commanding him to plot various types of intrigue. It'll be like brain surgery where the patient is kept awake and talking to make certain the surgeons don't accidentally cut out something important.

I really want to know what our enemies think of Vee, by now she should have a reputation as horrifying as Viserys himself. She's basically our Mengelee.

If I remember closely he's the one closest to the Faith correct? If so this could actually work. Though I imagine Bloodraven and the Old Gods might be a bit annoyed at us for planting this idea in his head.

Oh oh then would my plan possibly work take most of the dragon bone and make some make whole before running the hell away?

Ah so we can speak with dead from a recreated skull? What about Resurrection?

Um no we didn't, don't forget the first save that we made, that also have to be entered into the calculations, I don't know what the chance of failing that save was, but I don't think we needed a nat 20, so it probably at least put the chance of losing our soul below 10%
 
Wow, and here I thought Viserys was incapable of self awareness.

Amazing.

Cant wait for it to never matter.

mmmm. Something is eating me. toodles all.

She's apparently not widely known for her wild vivisection parties.

The rumors of her taming wild beasts and monsters are more interesting to people abroad who already think "being a witch" is damning enough.

Yes, people lose all sense of proportion as they consider the evils one can do with magic are far and away infinitely greater than the ones a person can do with a knife.

She is probably known as the Flesh Thief in some infernal circles, the Harvester in others, and simply "Oh fuck, it's Her!" in the rest.

A CR 2 Prom Queen. So we really just stole 1 inch of his shoelaces. Kinda weird, but not much of a problem for him.
Incredibly infuriating though!
 
The worst part about Azel's plan is that we cant sacrifice Varys but I am okay with that if it means we can pry his mind apart.

Well, those are some Hunter X Hunter flashbacks that I was not intending to have today.
