This works too. Just so long as we get to buy her paintings and decorate our Shadow Tower and flagship with them.
I don't remember anything like this (could be I wasn't reading close enough), but we can either convince her to move or we can just teleport to her on a regular basis and buy/commission paintings from her.

I'm only partway through rereading the Garantos/Azema section, but when we originally were investigating her it said part of her money (from her amazing paintings) were used to set up a small school for the arts.

I mean, would anyone say no to encouraging the arts in Sorcerer's Deep? We could offer her an academy of her own in Sorcerer's Deep in much the same arrangement that Teana has.
That being said, if the Diplo DC ends up failing for whatever reason, we can always just visit Braavos whenever we need her skills.

That reminds me, in addition to ordering Aebys to write down all the magical lore he knows, we should also have him teach his children said lore. Bad form to have that valuable info in the head of only one construct.

Sure we could, we are just smaller than Braavos by a factor of about 100, so it's unlikely we get enough people interested in art to make it worth an academy, or enough need for artists that the output of such an academy would find work.

I guess we'll just revisit this idea when we have a few free cities under our belt. :/ For now I want to focus on trying to get a long-term commission out of her.

Like the pope from Michelangelo?
Edit: Though, our tower is a little bigger than the Sixtinian Chapel ...

I just imagined a version of The Creation of Adam, where God is Viserys in HD form and is accompaied by the Pech and Bulabars, and a huge Fire Whale in the background.
And he is handing Yss' belt to Vee.

Pretty much. Our Shadow Tower is an architectural wonder of Old Valyria. It deserves to be restored to its former glory. Part of that includes supernaturally-good paintings.

Everyone is portait-stylized, only Vee is photo-realistic and looks grumpy because she has to hold a stupid pose for the painting.

And of course - no shoes. That's important. Think about all the future essays!

Shoes are the work of Baatezu, for did the prophet Vee of the swamp walk always barefot. Or something.

Wrong. Think about it - the holy snake sheds its scales, getting rid of the old worn skin. Shoes, however, are made of the skin of animals and are put on. That's obviously sacrilegeous!
Update in beta. Sorry it took so long, internet trouble again.
Part MCCLII: The Oft Forgotten Harbor
The Oft Forgotten Harbor
Twenty-Seventh Day of the Eight Month 292 AC
You are fortunate to be able to catch a glimpse of Azema in the scrying pool in spite of the protections afforded to her by her insidious nature, and doubly so for not catching her in an intimate situation. That is a temptation you would rather not have before your mind's eye. Instead you spot her playing a game of Cyvasse... Curious, but then even fiends must have wholesome distractions, and Azema does show a certain fascination for the trappings of mortality.
"Time to see more of the world," you say to your four, soon to be three companions.
Tyene is eager to go, Ser Richard dutiful as always, and Vee merely too tired to stay. For his part Waymar is rather put off by the notion of taking a fortress by stealth with a demon's aid. In his own words "an ill-done deed." You suspect he agreed to come with you mostly to try and keep Azema in check and yourself from succumbing to expedience too much. Truth be told you do not begrudge him the task.
***
Westheaven, the Shield of Tyrosh, the Far Fort, anchorage of the Tyroshi navy since the latter days of the Century of Blood, is a place little befitting of its lofty titles at first sight... and all the ones that come after it. Built to the pattern of Tyrosh itself, it is clear that lesser arts were used in its construction. Rather than gleaming dragonstone the walls are crumbling yellow bricks baking in the summer sun, the banners about its harbor hang listlessly in the oppressive calm. You can almost hear the crack of the whip and the grunts of the slave oarsmen as a red-sailed galley labors out of the port.
The houses are crammed against each other to fit the rather tight circumference of the walls, some reaching as high as four or five stories, all with flat roofs that can serve as platforms for archers, and of course a highway for those enterprising and fleet of foot. Rope bridges stretch out haphazardly between balconies. To your amusement you even catch someone hawking supposedly fresh fish from what should be the second story... only to drop his produce onto the passers-by below even as you watch.
"Copper to gold that was not accidental," Tyene notes, clearly as entertained as you. The target has been a man wearing the red cloak and braided gold epaulets of a Tyroshi officer, though from the amount of gold not a very high-ranking one.
"I'll leave you to your fun then," Vee says after a brief look around to fix the image of the town in her mind.
A few moments later you reach Azema, though she looks so engrossed in her street-side game that you do not interrupt until her eyes pass over you by chance.
Reluctantly, the alu demon makes her excuses from her partner, the layered cerulean silk dress she is wearing ruffling as she rises. Her smile looks genuine, one could almost say relived in spite of that. "Finally!" She embraces all four of you, rather more lingeringly than is entirely proper, but then one can hardly expect propriety from a demon. You take heart from the fact that Waymar blushes far more than you... though that may have been at the clear amusement in Tyene's eyes where he had expected some other emotion.
"Is it entirely wise to do this?" you whisper into the fiend's ear. Her hair smells like the ashes of some exotic wood.
"I do not wear this form with the fool," she answers in the same tone. "Come to kill him? Can I watch?" she asks with disturbing good cheer.
What do you answer?

So are we going with the idea of having Azema arrange a dinner for all the important officials, then capturing them all in one fell swoop?
Either way, before anything I want Azema to give us the run-down of everyone important on this island, what they do, and why they were sent here into pseudo-exile. Should come in handy in the near future.

I wanna put our men in important positions here and plan to take over Tyrosh in a "Suddenly, Targaryens" move.
As in, we suddenly uncover ourselves as the Archon of Tyrosh (dispel an Alter Self mde to look like him), like if we had been ruling since we deposed the former one or something.
Try to come up with a way to dispute our claim after that, I dare you.
