Ah, that's great.
Then we can try to get the rest of the Quickening Rod while we are there.
Could have sworn she has researched for us before.
Well, no matter.

Don't you want to see terrifying Qyburn cooperate with hapless Scholarum magelings?
Or perhaps with our new Necromancer from Volantis? He should be a Scholarum member for now...
By the way @DragonParadox, I'll be wanting mageling numbers from Braavos and Volantis, as well as teacher information. That way I can integrate them to our Scholarum sheet.

It's... not really the same as them working side-by-side on the issur throughout the month.Don't worry, I can still have them interact as colleagues, after all he does not need her there all month to talk to her.
Their conversations are something I look forward to writing too.
Eh.
I appreciate the thought, DP.

We didn't get him yet, though.
Otherwise, I'd have way less problem scheduling stuff this turn
Volantis has 3, 3(!) people who can research for us.
And that's just the ones we know of.
Daymn.
I'll cover that tomorrow, my notes on the subject are rather vague, more concerned with 'who I might write an interlude about' than precise numbers.
Speaking of interludes I think I will do a changeling Renly one next, that has been a long time coming.

@Goldfish, this
[] hunt for more Barrows south of the Wall guided by Bloodraven
seems to be something of a priority for whatever remaining adventuring forces you can scrounge up.
Also, please earmark us scrying for Char-Serpent, and subsequently counter-ambushing those hunting for him on PoF, next turn?

@DragonParadox will you show the days of relaxation (and discovering if Balerion likes to play fetch) as interludes while we get the vote done?

That reminds me. @DragonParadox , by having him as our subject we have access to the Shadow Creature and Umbral Creature templates, as he knew how to make those.

@Goldfish, we need someone to convert those devil-rituals into non-devil rituals so that we can easily spread them across our forces !
There was a lot of useful stuff in there. Augury, Discern Lies, Remove Curse, Comprehend Languages, Dispel Magic, Magic Circle against Chaos, Protection from Energy, Sepia Snake Sigil, Stoneskin...
All excellent stuff for our institutions !

Added this to my preliminary plan;
[] Sway Ruler: The hero gathers support among the ruling elite of another realm to gain alliance, vassalage or some other favorable diplomatic position.
-[] Journey to Lorath to make contact with the ruling factions, with an eye toward peacefully bringing the city into the Imperium.
--[] Assigned: Windward Society (Aubert Flowers, Grazdan the Grim, Koron Redmane, Lohos Saan, Menel Goldtooth), Aradia, Erinyes (x1)

We already have access to the former. Our minion Tor found us one to use. Speaking of which, has he gotten stronger?

They could take that as an insult. None of those people have major titles or a blood relation to us.

Maybe we can outsource it to Siduri? I'd put Elaheh on it, but we have her working on Dagger Wyrms as a precursor to more complex symbiotic lifeforms.

Not all diplomacy is conducted by royalty, their families, or major title holders. This would be as much learning about the city and its current politics as introducing themselves to the rulers. Gotta start somewhere, after all.
I can do that too, but right now I was hit by Renly inspiration
Yes, you would not even have to pay him technically by the rules of the scholarum, though you might want to anyway so as not to have a miffed necromancer on your hands.

Do we care?
No, really.
They are bad PR for someone who knows diabolical, yes.
But nothing else.
DP stated that no side-effects happen, and lets be honest, most magical rituals would be equally as strange.
I say spread them as is.

I don't want to pay him (weird precedent there). Instead, let's offer an expensive gift or some interesting Lore or something.

Right, @DragonParadox @Goldfish how will we integrate the Mysterium into our greater structure?
Will that take actions, or happen over time?

@DragonParadox, I hope we'll be able to smoothly loot that Efreeti ship the second Yrten and Siduri alert us about it?
@Goldfish I'm not sure what the current state of the turn plan is but I hope we'll be able to pull together PCs for this particular raid.
As for the Essarian sleepers I'd recommend doing them after we get Volantis. One of them was a Volantene girl who showed up a few days before they sealed themselves.

Here's what I have so far.
[] The Secret of Life and Death: Analyze the lore obtained from Lord Bolton and Qyburn and see to bring the efforts made by the ex-maester to their conclusion, creating undead creatures that neither spread decay, nor need the constant attention of a skilled mage.(Progress 25, Cost 30,000 IM)
-[] Qyburn
[] Dagger-Wyrms: Find a way to create more Dragon-daggers like Feeder (Pre-requisite for other living weapons and armor) (Progress: 6)
-[] Elaheh Marita (Kyton Fleshsmith)
[] The Godhunter: The fortress-ruin that held the Orb of Dragonkind still holds leashed power unlike anything you've ever sensed, but it remains dormant for now. With time, it might be possible to reconstruct the controls of that power, and with proper preparation use it as a weapon to slice away part of a god. (Progress: 16)
-[] Valeria
--[] Lady Saenna – Assisting
[] Forge of Creation: With Anu having finally restored the ritual necessary for creation of his kin, much may change... But for now, that is but a single ritual. To truly bring his people to life, something yet grander Is needed.
-[] Organise a magi-industrial complex capable of producing Warforged en-mass.(Progress: 30)
-[] Anu
[] Weaving Deepest Veils: Research the lore promised by Fey of Orphne court, wards capable of evading even a god's eye... even if not a perfect defense all by themselves. (Progress: 18 Cost: 11,000 IM)
-[] Lya
--[] Svitran – Assisting
[] The Broken Pact: With many an Outsider now being a part of your Empire, developing ways of breaking them off the influence of their home planes may be a good idea.
-[] Break off Barghests from Hells (Progress: 5; Cost: ??)
--[] Mercy of the Soul
[] The Tree Connection: While the Old Gods gave you what they remember about their beginning, the knowledge retained within the first dreams is still vague and hard to grasp for mortal minds. However, by examining the magic imbued in a Heart Tree both in the physical and other planes, you might be able to deepen your understanding of their true nature. It will be slow work though, as you can hardly take a tree apart for dissection.(Progress: 30, Cost: 50,000 IM)
-[] Vee –
--[] Naria – Assisting
--[] Stepstones - Research (Scholarum) - Assisiting
[] Ancestor's Return: Develop a ritual to return Laenor Targaryen back to life, using rituals used for Amrelath, Wyla and leftover lore from Garin/Selyse's ritual (Progress: 8 Cost: 9,500)
-[] Dany
--[] Wyla Drekelis - Assisting
[] Blood Maiden Plaques: Much as they were creatures undeserving of existence, they weren't always like that… or at least their ancestors weren't. It would do you good to understand where they came from to those shores. (Likely information on Drow history and society) (Progress: 6)
-[] Drow Assassins
[] TO BE DETERMINED - Force/Sonic Cannon Research
-[] Beryl
-[] Qyburn

That works, the pay does not have to be formal
I'd say Zherys can handle that on his own,he's been getting ready for it for a while
