Speaking of Blackfyres, there is another Targaryen offshoot that we should investigate.

Brown Ben Plumm is said to be a descendant of another of Aegon the Unworthy's bastards.

We need to think of a better name for Dany. Sure, "Traitor Priestess" sounds good to the Fey. But to the rest of the world, a title with the word "traitor" in it is going to work against us. Westeros especially.

Well, I like the Traitor Priestress. We might have to explain the context a bit, but "the 7 year old who stole magic from an evil goddess she swore to serve" will never not be badass.

Part MLXXXIV: A Voice from the Gloom

    • A Voice from the Gloom ​

    Eleventh Day of the Third Month 292 AC

    You are bruised and battered, though no longer bleeding... you are tired in mind and body, yet you will not let this stand, you will not let this craven thing have the run of your tower. It will either be sent back to the seething murk that spawned it or you will see it gone from all existence: "Hear me Bringer of Spite, Child of Gnawing Envy," you call out loudly, using the most formal name for its kind. "Stone and shadow this place is mine by right of conquest, held by power greater by far than thine. So I shall say onto you this once: come ye forth into the blensing light to fall back into your proper place or you shall know the true void of oblivion instead."

    For a long moment there is silence beyond the circle of golden light. Just as you decide that silence is to be the demon's answer you hear its soft insidious whisper echoing strangely upon the stone: "I have dwelt alone in darkness since before the Freehold was a gleam of rebellion in a slave's eye. Here I could stay until you and yours are dust and ashes... but..." the fiend lets the word hang uncomfortably. "I desire to walk again clothed in flesh... flesh I have readied for the task."

    Maelor starts, but he turns to look outwards into the gloom: "I regret that I must decline your gracious offer," he says with scathing irony. "If you think that you can still take me... step into the light."

    "Such pride... such hate..." the demon laughs, a cold empty sound. "A bargain mortals. I shall partake of your "hospitality" until the sun sets on the world of form.. then the boy comes to me. If he can resist then I shall pass from this fall from this place unclothed in flesh into the Dimeldark if not than he and I shall return to Mantarys."

    Maelor starts to answer, angrily from the look of it but Dany takes that very moment to take human form again "accidentally" landing on his foot. "And we should take thine word who are the essence of deceit?" your sister asks.

    "Do you forget where you are girl?" the demon asks. "Many are the rituals to bind my bind and yours to mutually beneficial pacts..."

    You look to Maelor. The boy catches your gaze squarely and gives you a slow nod. Brave fool, you cannot help but think. Yet is he any more foolish than you?

    What do you reply to the demon?

    [] Take the deal

    [] Counteroffer
    -[] Write in

    [] Pretend to take the deal so you can have more time to plan (opposed bluff/sense motive check)

    [] Write in

    OOC: It would have taken an intimidate crit for your plan to work, which you did not get. However you did roll high enough to get the demon talking as opposed to just wrecking things to spite you and prove it is not afraid.

    • can a possesed maelor use the teleport? and does dany have a spell to expel the demon once inside?
    we could take the deal, do as he asks and let him return to mantarys, and then do something about it.
     
    Point of importance: the Archons aren't here. They're the only ones who would have had a problem with not keeping our word.

    All we need to do is figure out how to get the Shadow Demon where Tyene can quickly kill it.

    [X] Pretend to take the deal so you can have more time to plan (opposed bluff/sense motive check)
     
    [X] Take the deal
    -[X] Only if you can work into the wording of the deal that external help or magic items are not forbidden for Maelor
    -[X] If that fails look for other options
     
    so, my questions stand, can a possesed maelor teleport? if not, maybe just let him take the test, if he fails, then we do something about it.
     
    [X] Start by looking carefully at the ways to bind demons to a deal the shadow mentioned, if it is a means that allows tricks with the exact wording, try to cheat, if not reject the deal and find another way.

    Im sorry WHAT?

    Let him possess Maelor because he can?

    EDIT: HE DIDN'T EVEN OFFER ANYTHING?!?!?!?
