The man tries to open his mouth to protest, though he is wise enough to close it as Varys peaks out from among the folds of your cloak, hissing just on the edge of human hearing, a sound that you imagine would have set many to flight already.

Also, fun fact, Varys shares all your skills, including intimidation, so she could technically scare off a company of charging knights or something with a perfectly pitched draconic hiss.

Varys: "Don't think I won't shank you bitches where you stand. Viserys isn't the only one who takes trophies from his defeated foes."

OOC: I thought about doing the meetings with Hua Fen and Pol Ning too, but this was already getting really long so that is going in the background so we can move on with the main story thread.

Considering that Viserys has an intimidate skill rank of 21, I don't doubt it. Varys would take a -4 from her size penalty, but she'd also keep Viserys's synergy bonus from his bluff skill, meaning she rolls intimidate at a +19. Unless those diplomats have some incredible rolls or will saves, they'd all be shaken.

I don't really think Viserys needed the help, but it's always great to see a familiar helping out.

Considering she is one of the beings in our realm who could tear apart a company of charging knights by herself, that would be the correct response.

Yi-Ti is dwarfed by our realm and the distance is irrelevant in the face of Gates and our Airforce. We can absolutely conquer it by froce.

most of our troops can't be sent on a military expiation on the other side of the planet for an extended period of time seeing as we need them to garrison and defend our own realm doubly since our realm is less than a decade old which will reflect on its stability the second the legions are redeployed while Yi-Ti is nearly 8000 years old , there is also the fact that magic never completely went away in Ti-Yi and the likely had at least a few dozen magic users before magic made its proper return who have likely became full on arch mages by now so it won't be an easy conquest by any means
 
[X] Get the report from Bloodraven about what he extracted from the minds of Tywin, Lanna, Gerion and Tygett Lannister.

Compared to literally every other enemy we might conceivably face, Yi-Ti is small fry. Small fry that has been weakened by years of civil war.

Let's, for once, not hype up the China expy as inherently better, more mystical and more capable than all the Dung Ages states west of it.
 
Yi Ti is probably potent enough to be a military drain - exarcebated if the threat of a foreigner's conquest is sufficient for internal rifts to be set aside. A case of being able to pull it off, but having no particular reason for it when such can be slowly annexed by financial means and also when there are a thousand more pressing situations for the Legions to deal with.

Pretty much. The whole events around the Golden Company have shown quiet clearly that we could walk over Yi-Ti's military at any time, so the main question is if it's worth it do so right.

Right now? Not really. I'd rather pick up the pieces after the Long Night. I'm pretty sure Yi-Ti will mostly cease to exist as a coherent state at that point.
 
I mean I doubt our conquest of Yi ti will go well. They thousands of kami and at least least a few hundred of them can control the weather to attack our airforce and legions. It's would like invading westros but their gods weren't shit and the fey courts were allied with them. A massively difficult conquest.


You know, on second thought, it sounds fun. I would like Viserys to be challenged.
 
As long as Yi-Ti stays in their own lane and can avoid becoming an existential threat for at least a few years, I'm perfectly content to largely leave them to their own devices for now.

Even without our spells she can attack with 10d6 acid damage at +24 attack bonus and an AC of No and she's an absolute HP sponge. We could potentially send just her to quash a rebellion and it would be enough.

Imagine Varys exploding out from a knight's breastplate like a Draconic chestburster, then spearing their mount's head with her stinger, the acid melting it off in but a moment...

That is the kind of visual that might convince onlookers to retrain their Fighter levels to pick up some Expert so they can go into farming.
