Honestly it's not even a bet at this point. We're here, we've shown them just how fucked their current position is, and we've literally got them by the coin purse.

They're quite boned and more than aware of that fact. The Fey can make promises but that means bumpkiss when the Dragon who conqured 3 countries in the span of a few years is staring you in the eye saying "Remember when you promised to ride to my family's defense and didn't and that allowed the brutal death and rape of many of my kinsmen? Peppridge farm remembers."

I believe that Olenna is gonna cut her losses, this overlooked devil plot would have ruined them, this aiding and abetting by the fey is near fatal for their future relationship.
Unless the Court of Stars expunges/disavows the prince we captured with intense prejudice (and same reparations would I would wager), there is no way the Tyrells can keep trusting the Fey.
Throwing their lot in with us (and now having seen that Viserys is not exactly ruled by anger and vengeance) I actually give decent odds of them bending the knee, negotiating every inch, but agreeing.

Most people who have seen Viserys condemn someone or at least make any kind of calculated decision aren't that charitable. Even Garin, one of our best friends, used to think of Viserys as "one cold bastard".

With that in mind I imagine being held under that manner of regard by Viserys is a very unsettling event.
 
All depends on if Mace has more sense than greed. Olenna might understand the situation and willingly bend the knee but is Mace willing is the question.

Added. You should remove the X to not count this as your new vote.

I wasn't very concerned about that as there's usually a consensus about the vote due to in thread discussion, but I will make note of it in the future.

If Olenna is as clever as she's hyped up to be, she'll realize marriage to Viserys is definitely off the table. Maybe she might angle for Margaery to be personally apprenticed to Viserys or a Companion and ingratiate herself that way; after all, it's not exactly a secret that he's training other noble wards, though Olenna may not approve of Marg taking up weapons. ..

So far Dany's Circle of Companions is shaping up to look like

Dany: Leader, Call Shotter, Play Maker, High Level Dragon
Maelor: Second in Command, Call Shotter, Play Maker, High Level Arcane Theurge
Glyra: Loyal and Free, Caster's Bane, Unusual Sp and Su Mechanics, Sneak Thief
Ysilla: Low Level Witch, Lady of Administration, Blood of First Men
[The One With The Undead Brother]: Low Level Witch, Lady of Trade, Necromancer In Association
Sanders: Sir of "What The Hells Am I Doing Here", Major in Kickass, Apprentice in Teeth Grinding, Friend To Girls, Turner of Lion's Coat

Looks like Dany's lacking access to a proper Westerosi Gish, unless Valaene wants to sub in, a proper Bard, and a secondary Divine Fullcaster. Marg should be decently suited to either of the latter roles but has a solid chance of adjusting to the life of the Gish. I'm hoping for Aemon to fill the "Literally Snatched From The Jaws Of The Enemy" caster niche.

No. Just... No.
Ysilla is more than 10 levels behind everyone else. She's a friend, but not a Companion. Same for Kylla (or whatever her name is). Glyra is decent if quite a bit weaker than Daenerys/Maelor/Sandor.

Daenerys, Maelor and Sandor are all decent enough. Maelor is a vastly inferior Viserys, Sandor is not bad in melee apparently, and Daenerys is incredibly cheesy on her own (and she has the Persistomancy to buff Maelor and Sandor).

Still, I consider Daenerys as part of our circle of Companions. She isn't forming her own!
 
Her official titles are technically Princess (of the Blood!) and Companion, so...

I agree. There is only one set of Companions.

I love her too Talon, but we've got to let her leave the nest sometime.

It's a sad day, but eventually all children need to start conquering countries, tearing the veil of reality for loot, and skinning aspects of dark gods alive for coats by themselves.

Never have we kept the Companions tied to our shadow!
No, she can go on wild adventures without us. She already has, after all.
But there is only one true set of Imperial Companions.
 
[X] Do an interview
-[X] Embra
--[X] Among others questions, ask her to explain who she is (minus sensitive information, such as who she really is, who her father is, that Djinnis can grant wishes, etc), where she comes from, a short description of her people (temperament, goals, etc.), and how she's finding the festival so far.
--[X] Viserys and Embra use full social buffs for maximum audience impact.

I want to have a few more interviews, as we originally planned. :/

This one is bound to be interesting, I think, if from a PoV of someone with some exposure to magical, but not a inordinate "companion-level" of such

Interrogation takes time.

Mage duel interlude?

Also @DragonParadox please remember that we voted to propose to Lya this evening if there's still time for that. I also just want to do so because the karmic balance of being basically propositioned by the Tyrells the same makes me giggle.

I'm just waiting for that sweet intel. I've got a section for Court of Stars intel dusted off already. If we can get intel on even more Courts that'd be fantastic.

But agreed on the proposal.
