If you guys vote to kill Relath, I riot and then vote to reincarnate him into something equally fabulous.

I prefer my omakes to be "could have been canon" feeling. Though those are funny suggestions. Though I wouldn't mind doing one of Yrael.

Killing would be too quick. We just want to make it abundantly clear that we're top dragon, not Relath. And then we'll beat him up and take his lunch money.
 
I have a suspicion that DragonParadox writes Relath as such a likeable character because it would otherwise mean we wouldn't think twice about slaying him to steal his hoard. As it stands, I'd just gouge him while doing business and subtly flex our dragon muscles, show off how shiny our red scales are compared to his, and generally be an obnoxious cousin always boasting about how "Reds are obviously superior, you're not even a real chromatic!"

Viserys wouldn't even take any pride out of being descended from quintessential assholes of the universe, just endless amusement because a dragon like Relath would take bottomless umbrage about disparagement of his unfortunate inadequacies, re: not being dragon enough.
 
Oh! Ghoul head in manterys! Or one of it's criminal children/servants being caught by an archon and taught magic!

Lamebtation treasure hunter

Where else. Swamp folk trades a favor or does a kindness for a fey in brravos, makes a shit tonn of wealth out of our sustainable!! swamp harvesting/exploitation company

Moar SD shenanigans (maybe wait until our Yss adherants start doing... Yss things?

We have a very nice council chamber - with beautiful table, in saltcliff. And water source. I wonder what might be done with that.
 
We still have Bhaella around, right? How much is she going to object to our actions, big-hearted pacifist that she is?

And how many people do we want to pull into the Westhaven take-over?

And I'm not sure if you saw it when I asked before or not, but unfortunately it's relevant. @DragonParadox does Westhaven have a boom/chain across the harbor mouth? They were usually protected by towers, or some sort of fortification, and served to protect important harbors.

If it does, I'm thinking inviting the top officers and captains of the ships in harbor to hear the Admiral's plan for fame, riches, etc. over a late evening dinner. Tyene poisons them (including the admiral) with a knockout poison in the food/drink, for capture and later processing. Use magic to force to sleep anyone still awake.

Two strike parties will seize the ends of the harbor chain (or one party seizes the end, depending on it's set up), and raises the chain to prevent the ships in the harbor from escaping.

If we have enough people, we might also want to seize the armory.

At this point we use that spell that magnifies our voice or achieves a similar effect to declare that we've seized control of the island and harbor, and call for surrender. We also have our constructs fly around, looking for any small vessels that might have been hidden outside the harbor fleeing the island so we can intercept them.

Maybe time it so our fleet shows up around the time of the call for surrender for added visuals, and for manpower to accept people's surrender? If there isn't a boom/chain, then the fleet could also blockade the harbor.

That shouldn't be too difficult to manage.

1) Does he intends to bind us magically?
-a) If Yes, will Zherys cast the spell himself?
--b) If No to the spell, will he use an enchanted object?
---c) If No to the object, will he have another cast the spell?
----d) And if No to the proxy spell, will he use the supernatural abilities of a creature?

2) If No to the first question, ask if he will attempt to bind us politically?
-a) If Yes, is it through marriage?
--b) If No to marriage, will it be through oaths of fealty?
---c) If No to fealty, will he attempt to integrate us into the Volantine power structure?
----d) If Yes to political integration, will he be our subordinate?

3) If No to magical or political binding, will he attempt to use threats to control our actions?
-a) If Yes, will these threats be against our loved ones?
--b) If No to threatened loved ones, will he threaten our physical holdings?
---c) If No to threatening our domain, will he threaten our allies?

That's all that comes to mind at the moment.

This warms my heart to see goldfish.

Not since the book keeping days have we had such glorious strings of divination.
 
Is anyone working on an actual plan?
I think we should first contact azema and let ther know we are moving soon, then ask her if she has any suggestions?
Taking ships there might take too long, so i guess we will have to do It ourselves.
Small party then, meet with azema and ask for more detailed information, if she has men working for her other than the leader of the garrison, and how willing she thinks he is to change sides?
 
[X] Viserys, Tyene and Richard go to Westhaeven, disguised
-[X] Set up a meeting with Azema to get an impression of the town and the situation in general

Can't make final plans before seeing the target.
I would say personal meeting with the Admiral next.

Edit: And maybe get GLyra over, her bullshit-aura can be helpful.

I mean, I am, but no one's commented on it? So I'm hesitant to put it to vote form.

Not taking ships might be better, but can we corral 1000 soldiers, 700 freemen, and keep the 800 slaves from taking bloody revenge if given half a chance?

We can teleport in, right, if we scry Azema? I agree we need more info.

I was hoping someone would come up with something. Been too busy at work this morning.

I'll slap something together. Dunno if it will be to everyone else's tastes, though.
 
[X] Arrange a meeting with Azeema via Sending. Tell her to find an out of the way location we can Scry, in order to Teleport in secretly.
-[X] Richard, Tyene, and Waymar will accompany Viserys. Vee will come along as well, but only to acquire a Teleport point. She will return to Sorcerer's Deep after buffing everyone with Barkskin, Shield of Faith, and Fly, just in case.
-[X] Dany will Imbue Viserys with a Dreamcast Clarion Call spell before we depart.
-[X] Depending on what Azeema tells us, we will alter our plan accordingly.

-[X] Dany will prepare a Mage's Decree and Clarion Call spell. One to pass a message to the entire town if needed and the other to buff Viserys if he needs to do more extreme Social Manipulation.

I would rather bring Waymar and Tyene, but they're still administrating Port Sorrow, I believe?

Tyene, at least, is back already. Waymar is probably back as well, but he wasn't mentioned specifically.
