Another thing we can consider is what happens if one or both of them do move to help their people, and we don't go with them to do damage control? COuld Dany's team suurvive, or even escape that?
Possible, unless of course we were the Stranger's chosen. He's the probably the one guy that could get away with bulllshit like that.
Lucan, who is the Father's Chosen, the leader of the pantheon and the only one not to lose anyone yet.

I feel like Dany's team could 100% survive relatively unscathed, but they couldn't do it without revealing who they are and kind of busting our plans for the Conclave as everyone rallies behind Lucan to protect themselves from the Evil Dragon King (TM)

Hard to say what they think of Dywen. They don't really have confirmation of anything beyond the fact that we're in Lucan's league. But really who else could it be except Viserys or an as yet unforeseen Chosen? Of which there are some who haven't hit public light, and it seems there's not anything like transparency between different Aspects of the Seven and the other Chosen.

An agent of the Three Eyed Crow? Any other infiltrator?
Say, a Bard with good social skills and spells?

We haven't revealed any terrifying power yet, just Diplo good enough to hint at magical support for it. And Magic Aura is definitly a more reasonable assumption that Mindblank and Cloak of Khyber.

If necessary, the Companions could gank Lucan and Danelle and all of his mages in two rounds of combat. It would be dicey and they could lose people, but at that point survival would be on the line and it would be a weapons free situation.

The Companions are all going to have maximum combat buffs running right now.

They know we have Mind Blank if they tried divinations like Augury or something. And they have certainly been using them a lot, considering how important the Conclave is for them and how wary their companions were in the city.

Unless Lucan is capable of mythic casting it would be hard to believe. Also they are actually here correct? Not illusions or Simulcrums?

Lya is only a tier one mythic, remember, and for all the bullshit we have they could too. And if anyone had mythics, it would be Lucan. backed up by another Chosen as well? Not safely, and not easily.
 
Mmmmm.

You know...

I am in favor of continuing the attack. Continuing to play Dywen here however... I'm against it.

If we see Dannelle and Lucan move out, we warn Daenerys immediately.

If those two go we have have no skilled mages in the room, so we can make a Still Silent Sending to our other PCs so they face enough power to bring them both down.

Then Viserys is the only person of actual power left in the Conclave and we can play however we want.
Even Charm and mindcontrol would suddenly be on the table.

Lucan going out there to die is the best thing that can happen.

I personally think we need to react to two Chosen giving us looks at the same time. Not reacting seems more suspicious to me.

I agree; two of the Seven's Chosen staring at what is supposed to be a humble begging brother is something that I feel Dywen should reasonably take notice of.
Maybe we could try to distract them with conversation of some kind so that they don't try to provide backup, with their staring at us paving the way for said conversation?

Other people with some knowledge on the topic have felt our Mythic power before.
I doubt Lucan has Mythic ranks and we notice nothing.

It took Lya building a sentient murder machine almost by her self to get that mythic. It took us travelling to Valyria and slaying a Rakshahsa maharaja in combat and blowing up a mountain that was a worship for the others. If he had done something like that we would have heard.
 
Unless he did it off-plane, which is still mild bullshit, but all the more reason to take care of him now since each Mythic Tier at such high levels exponentially increases tactical options.

Abandoning the mask now would instantly make it unusable ever again. Either we act innocent, or act to intervene.

Unless him and/or Danelle became Martyrs against "The foul, dastardly terrorists who sought to interrupt the sanctity of the Conclave." That would be the best way to instantly unite the Faith and achieve the exact opposite of our goals.
 
@Goldfish these are our superiors in a religious organization and we've been pretending to have more than two points of intelligence.

The jig is dangerously close to being up and our focus needs to be an attempt to stall one or both of them.

Perhaps throw in a little come hither wave since they apparently just noticed something.

That or approach them directly. We need to stop both of then from bolting of at all possible.

Even if he becomes a Martyr, it would still be better for us than Lucan continuing to do as he pleases.
There are rumors abound about him right now, as we could easily sow more and keep the Faith divided if he was dead.

Not that that is the best play here, but we would absolutely be in a better position to fracture the Faith with a Viserys-tier diplomancer off of the field. (assuming the Seven don't get him resurrected at least :V)

Hmm, I'm concerned.
@Azel is neither planning here nor updating his quest.

Worst case he switched to the dark side and is now aiding DP against the players.

I rather expected some disaster dominos from every single move that we decided to take.

Is it possible to achieve a zen-like state from the taste of failure at every turn? @DragonParadox is about to find out!
