Turn Plan: The Rebuttal-ing
[] Slavers's Bay -
[current main priority, extreme importance], need to stop the
(potential) ascension of Lady of Spears at any cost.
Prospects: spy-networks, assassinating, stopping the influence of Asmodeus/Lady of Spears in any manner possible.
-- Viserys' involvement is necessary at this point to do anything of note. --
As a matter of fact, this does not require Viserys, besides making final decisions on how to deal with the last encounters, but it does require a full complement of Companions with all spell options available to them, so Dany or Lya would be necessary.
[] Reach Fey -
[high priority, moderate importance], no direct confrontation vector is open to us
yet.
Prospects: breaking their ritual; finding a way to force a confrontation on our terms.
-- Send researchers, learn more of individual factions - to better fight if subverting them on one another isn't possible.
You're not wrong, but we need to have some active presence here, moderately powerful enough to fight off an attack/deal with problems that arise, since we don't exist in a vacuum and the Fey are/will make moves next turn.
[] the Isle of Leng -
[low-to-moderate priority, high importance].
-- Big steaming pile of shit that needs taking down.
-- Full invasion protocols.
We should coordinate with the Azure Emperor fully to deal with this, for a variety of reasons.
[] Illithids
[low-to-moderate priority, extreme importance]: still no good data available for us, it is likely by now
they will attack first, whatever we plan. And we lack a plan, anyway.
Prospects: Find information. Grow strength of aquatic forces, look for more allies.
--
Marid emirates could be partially swayed to support a war on Illithids -- needs Viserys and proof of the strength of both Illithid (need eliminating) and us (are worth supporting)
Yup. Continue prodding Hermetia's side of things and carefully dedicate a few more assets to pursuing our agenda/keeping political saboteurs from getting an advantage over us on Water.
[] Efreeti
[low priority, high importance]: War slowly houses against them, best choice is infiltrating them while we have the opportunity.
-- "The Grand Heist" dated away -- [undefined date].
--- Following it would be an attack on the City of Brass, fleet and WMDs alike.
-- Meanwhile, increase infiltration via Maelor's workshop -- send Companion.
-- Siduri, Amrelath, and Devil strike group perform high-value attacks in Sea of Fire.
From a pacing standpoint alone, we need to find a way to delay this.
[] Undead of Sallosh
[high priority, moderate importance] - they are attacking our holdings.
-- Full-blown investigation
-- active Companion attention.
Expected outcome: WIping out the leaders of the Undead hordes in the Dothraki plains.
Viserys should show up and just kill whatever is doing it quickly. We could get it done in a week if we don't care about loot and just bulldoze through whatever is doing it.
[] Black Goat of Q -
[undefined importance, undefined priority] straight-up need more data
-- Investigate, sabotage
--
Gotta send an active Companion as a spy, with the build-up it got I recon nothing less will suffice.
Minimal acceptable involvement: destroying the Fleshforge, rendering it unusable for the enemy forces in the area.
That callous plan to ignore Westeros? It's not practical, but we could probably essentially do that with Qohor. Just kill everything capable of opposing us since we suspect/know it to be tainted by the Black Goat from Outer Space, and then burn down half the forest of Qohor, and then besides provide humanitarian aid to the civilians, ignore it for half a year.
[] Westeros overall
[low priority, high importance]
-- Pretty much everyone of worth acquired, sans the North and the current plan disregards diplomancing it.
-- Focus on keeping the parts we subverted in order.
Doing the best we can.

Personal
[] See Meraxes for Imperial Steel development
[] Trade the Ferryman for the Water Elemental-forging lore
Background
[] Keep an eye out for the Chosen of Stranger
-[] Actually
talk to Chosen of Smith if the Stranger's doesn't appear by end of 3rd month.
[] Keep an eye for the renegade Faceless -
possibly with a goal to eliminate.
---RAs---
[] Impetial Deity much needed
You're not wrong, but we're several tiers away from even having an inkling of what it will look like. If this doesn't take most of a year, just to lay the groundwork, I will eat my hat. Thus nothing we plan on doing in a year should hinge on it.
[] Anti-Psionic defenses much needed
Yep. We can trade more forces on Elysium for experts, perhaps.
[] Drow un-staffening and Faceless Poison promises fulfilled.
Sure, this sounds fun for both us and @DragonParadox.

-[ ] You have recently been forwarded a set of spell-scripts and samples by which the Efreeti have been made use of to manipulate the 'Grey Veil'. While this may be a technological dead end, studying it will prevent its usage from being as effective in the hands of your enemy and may even be of some use to your allies.
(Progress Cost: ??, Material Cost: ??)
Thanks you for remembering.
