They're active enemies who drove people to madness (basically making slaves of them), causing murder, rape, and cannibalism, as best we can tell, for the crime of not celebrating the god on the exact right day (very petty reasons, from our PoV). You'd have to try pretty hard to get higher on Viserys's murder priority list.

@DragonParadox if we used speak with animals and speak with dead on a dragon skull, would it give results?

@DragonParadox can we curse someone with fertility, the bane of bachaelors everywhere!

[X] Find the Maenad!
Also I doubt we'll get any complex rituals and such, the answers tend to be rather short and mysterious.
I admit defeat, may the world prosper in security and fear under the shadow of our wings! Hail Viserys!
My vote was to destroy the admiral's head after questioning, due to the high chance of it waking up as a Ghoul.

Godsdammit Azel, now you did it.

Are you sure exactly that was the reason? Because if so, from where is that information?

Given canon ASOIAF and then the 'have some more evil gods/monsters added to the mix' from the crossover, a benign (comparatively) tyrant is an improvement.
- No, that works on living animals not skulls
- Yes as long as they consider it a curse, so you could curse someone to have a a child from a particular coupling, so long as it brings then great harm.

I'm not worried it will make the world worse, it just wasn't a direction I wanted Viserys to go.
Vote not closed.

Here's a new plan. It's very close to Diomedon's one, but it also involves us consolidating our power here quickly.
[X] A King in deed as well as in name.
-[X] Find out if anyone local could lead these people. Does anyone of any influence remain? If yes, talk to them now and get them to swear fealty to us.
-[X] We'll probably have to bring in an administrator or two from SD anyway. Ask our own fantastic administrator (may her value and work never be forgotten) if she has anyone she could send before we pick people at random. Take them with us when we teleport back. Leave Ser Richard in charge in the meantime.
-[X] Have Vee or Daenerys provide what healing she can here for the next few days, instead of in SD.
-[X] Have Azema try to use the compass to track down the forms the Maenads first appeared in (dancers). Have Azema lead Tyene and Waymar.
--[X] Use divination to ask if they are on the ships that fled last night or on the island of Westhaven, or elsewhere in our territory.
-[X] Get some of the tainted wine for investigation later.
I'm terrible at plans. C&C would be quite appreciated. Did I do anything stupid like tale people away from an important task, or ask for people we don't have?
Edit: Oh, damn. Ninja'd by the "vote closed", of all things!

NVM there are barely any votes. Do you guys want an interlude?

An interlude would be great. Can we get one on Kyla Fairwind in Braavos? I'm curious about her life as a young witch.

And it was a bloody difficult fight. Trust me. You will get your special slice of the cake when we start dethroning the gods since their sensibilities no longer fit into our new world order.

@TalonofAnathrax - comment on plan: finding a suitable administrator takes time. Means either a divination, or ferrying over some people we trust that don't have anything better to do.

Ooh. @Goldfish, a thought occurs. We've promised both Maelor and Azema that we'll perma-kill their father and mother respectively. Why not call them both, incapacitate them, and then feed them to a new Weirwood? The Shadow Demon brings 7 HD to the table and the Succubus has 8 HD. We get rid of enemies and make our subordinates very happy. Two birds with one stone. And we could fill up the rest of the cost in HD with Deep One minions.

Interlude CXXXVIII: The Shadow of Fear
The Shadow of Fear
Thirtieth Day of the Eight Month 292 AC
The pale girl-child perhaps eight namedays looked up at the ghostly white facade of the ancient mansion with solemn dark eyes. Two of her brothers had died here, though one was with her still, and now she was going to cross its threshold yet again. "Ready, Jori?" she asked softly. Kyla's voice was always soft unless she strained it. Shouting did not come naturally to her anymore since she had found her magic by strange and tragic happenings.
"You don't have to do this," her brother, her twin said. She could feel his fear, not for himself, for he had ever been brave, perhaps too brave, but for her. Jorel was quite aware of how much more resilient he was now that he no longer resided in a body of flesh.
"No, I do not have to," Kyla replied, pulling her cloak a little closer against the chill mist of the canal. "I want to... I need to. If someone else should suffer here as we did, I..." Their father had finally found a buyer for the house... they would be moving in soon, perhaps with another pair of curious children. Perhaps it was a little mad of her to think thus... but she could not allow the chance that the house would claim another innocent life. Else what purpose was there to her sorcery...?
Jorel did not actually roll his eyes, but the sentiment was there across their bond. "You place much worth in the lives of strangers, sister..."
That stung more than he had intended. Kyla did feel guilty for stealing out of the house in the middle of the night under the cover of glamor. "You did not have to come."
"Of course I did," he answered instantly and without rancor.
"I'm sorry," the girl said, blushing slightly. Being able to feel another's feelings made staying angry at her brother nigh-impossible. "I need this to stop having nightmares and being scared and..." Her hard-won composure was slipping.
"Maybe I need it too," her brother admitted with an odd whistling sigh. "Let's go."
Without another word the children floated over the fence to stand before the heavy front door. The Words of Opening from Kyla made quick work of the lock and they slipped in.
"Up or down?" Jorel's voice rang strangely in the silent hall.
"Down," Kyla said after a moment.
Amidst dusty relics of sundered joy and innocence fated never to return, the siblings found no horrors from beyond the grave, no nightmares made manifest to banish once and for all. Yet fear, that most tenacious of foes, was dealt a mighty blow that night.
OOC: I actually rolled to see if they would find anything. This could have turned out quite differently.

We've already made an agreement with their parents to take them to Sorcerer's Deep to hone their magic. We're due to pick them up when we next visit Braavos.
