We should just show up using Loresong and a Lyre of Building and fix the damage. That would be hilarious. We can even sing a song at the same time ridiculing Tywin.

How far we've come.
Viserys can a Heartsong now.

Remember how DP stated once we'd never ever be able to do proper Performance as a bard's skill?
Magic, bitch.
:V

As good a reason as any I have heard. If you throw up a plan for us to do it as a quick fluffy one shot that does not ruin the pacing of anything else, I will back it.

On an unrelated note how does the Starks sending Sansa to the Royces square with them possibly gearing up to attempt to fight us? They have to at least suspect the Royces are on our side, so they essentially handed us a hostage (not that we or the Royces would harm a child) which seems unwise?
 
@DragonParadox Would sending an invisible kill-bot that would give even the Terminator some trouble be a bit overboard? Like would we be implying we basically expect someone with powerful illusion magic is going to try to murder a child in the seat of a high lord?

Or is Viserys generally regarded as an overzealous protector whenever anyone asks it of him? I can see it painted both ways. I don't think there was a time we've intervened at request and not gone absolutely overboard.

A variety of reasons. The Starks and the Royces have some distant familial relations, but more importantly they have some traditional dynastic ties which makes the gesture kind of a big deal to give up a ward for safekeeping.

Secondly, the expectation is that Yohn will not want to harm a child (and perhaps that even Viserys would be reluctant to execute a child hostage). Again, the move seems to have been one made by Catelyn with Eddard's consent. Eddard seems to be at least on some level aware that he will not be able to respond in a timely fashion to an invasion, not before the reason for intervening becomes pretty damn moot.

That was Catelyns plan, not Neds. I'm suspecting there is some strife in the family about Ned backing Robert while his wife would prefer not to have to bury her kids.
 
Robert dying would solve all the problems.

We really need to get Cersei to murder him.

After that, decalring all his kids as bastards would leave the succession open, and let us take over
 
If we can manipulate Cersei into killing Robert, that would leave me very satisfied. Especially if we can make it obvious that Cersei did it.

It would be like Viserys cruising in going "the fuck just happened? Who took away my moment of righteous vindication? Cersei? Fucking Cersei Lannister did? The fuck?!"

And given we can lie as easily as we breathe the above will look credible.

I'm really sure Bloodraven can make something happen. Robert is already fucking some girl and getting her incredibly jealous.

We just have to be very determined about deciding it.

As long as it is a stealthy kill team that can blend into his court Doran would be neither particularly surprised nor the least displeased

*Brings death cult assassins to guard his ward*

Doran: "...you brought the Faceless to guard him?"

Viserys: "The ones that didn't defect and are opposed to my rule"

Doran: "... yeah, that's reassuring"
 
Viserys: "It is! They stopped the assassins trying to kill another vassal of mine. Monford had nothing but great things to say about their services. Very punctual."

Doran: "They were timely?"

Viserys: "No, I meant they stabbed the assassins. A lot."
 
[X] Assign a Shadow Cat to the boy, and a Vigilant Hunter Bioconstruct and a Greater Bloodclot Mold in a Black Champion body for Doran to deploy as he sees fit to increase the security of his court.

There is no kill like overkill.
 
Wouldn't the Greater Bloodclot give PCs some trouble? I hope the assassins bring a mop.

Rumors and Reports of Westeros Part Two​

Twenty Ninth Day of the Second Month 294 AC

The Iron Isles

The Hidden Battle of Harlaw: The wisdom of assigning forces to aid Rodrik the Reader, Regent of Pyke, had proven itself threefold this month as he was the target of an assassination attempt by Drowned Men warped by their congress with the Deep Ones and wielding powers of the mind, saved only by the presence of his guard of black knights whose unwavering dead gases could not be turned aside.

That smells horrifying.

Does this count as a warcrime?
