No, it literally prevents Scrying attempts into the warded area. It's not proof against all kinds of Divination, but what it does, it does well. We don't always have access to the Tower and it's anti-Divination room. Being able to ward any place we are occupying against Scrying is something we pined for not so long ago.
Lya needs a spell like Manyjaws because her lower level offensive spells are extremely limited, or they're AoEs she can't use when our allies are in melee, or they require a Ranged Touch Attack.
Manyjaws affects a single target, allows no saving throw at all, and deals Force damage. It's perfect for her.

The nice thing about Manyjaws is that it's Damage: Yes. We have actually not that many straight damage spells that are not elemental in our line-up.

That's at least my idea behind it. Ten days each from Lya and Dany aren't that much in the end and we are procrastinating the faith thingy for a while now.
And I'm kinda feeling in the mood to start our own religion finally and formalize the cult of personality we've started building with out speeches.
The state of the world is too early for secular cults like comrade Stalin had build around himself, so let's just make it a full blown religion we can be the messiah of.

If we do this we own it, none of this trade company with some rando NPC who provides nothing but minor capital.
So as I said MPS is not necessary in the field and we already have a room that prevents Scrying, I don't dislike the spell I'm just saying why it's not prioritised.
As for Manyjaws, great spell, wrong person.
We've been keeping Lya out of combat, maybe this is why but I also don't care at all that this is the case, let her continue being productive that's what she's built for.
Still the compromise plan is a compromise.

Less a question of "who does it" then "where does he look".
However, Gerold and Richard should be able to get that going in the next months since I doubt that Richard will suddenly become hyper useful for Diplomancy or Mad Science tasks and those are still by far the largest time sinks we have everyone else on.

Anyone thought about our god blood stone lately? We've had it for a while now and haven't the slightest idea what to do with the thing.
Could we feed it to Yss? Sacrifice it to the OG for a few Heart Trees? Maybe even sell it in Molten Skies?

Unless she is already pregnant this is the opposite of a priority, they're both young, well to do, busy, in a new relationship. They can bloody well wait like every other person on the planet who isn't even dealing with supernatural demon babies.

It actually looks way, way too valuable to do any of that. I'd say it's valuable enough to merit its own study action in the future.
It's the blood of a death god. Can you imagine permanently applying that stuff to Oathkeeper?

Look at the amount of options where Lya would be needed and take a quick guess why she isn't on every combat rooster.
We also tried to spread out the combat groups a bit to prevent the Core Party (Viserys, Dany, Lya, Richard) from going too far ahead. Main reason for taking Xor of all people to MS.
Zherys is different. That's a all out alpha strike to vaporize everything within a few blocks if necessary.

I believe it's to be involved in either a temple to the Merling King, a deal with him and the Velaryons or both.

Regardless of the reasons, if she's not in combat then don't prioritise combat spells for her.
Unless she plans on making an item of Manyjaws it's like giving Viserys a sword, he can use it, it's even conceivable that he might use it. But overall it's taking up space and we certainly won't be investing in an Oathkeeper for him.
As you said she's busy, keep her productive.

I want her combat ready exactly because she might be thrown into combat any second. Do you think we would waffle around with the B-Party had the draco-lich escaped?
On that note I would like to add that I dearly hope the Zherys Omake is semi canon.
I have the slight hope that the deal will go awesome just because he divined the depth of the hole he is in if it doesn't.

I'd rather keep the Minotaurs away from the influence of OG (Bloodraven's*) and Yss agenda if possible.
I suppose we could ask Yss for a helpful boon in the process, gotta love fair trades when he won't come asking for a cut of our population.

Hey, @DragonParadox what was the XP for that encounter like?

As a prepared caster I still don't feel being "thrown into" combat is relevant here but I get your point, sometimes she has to fight and she should be ready to.
While I see the utility of Lya knowing Manyjaws, it is a spell I wanted for Viserys since forever, because in my opinion he really needs it.
Fire can just be resisted too easily.

Actually, a few days for Vee/Tyene to teleport around getting word of sellsword companies might be worth adding as a backup if they finish up Memory Moss quickly. If we want trainers, taking a day or two to see if some independent Ghiscari sellswords are in Braavos (as unlikely as it is) might be worth it. If they're in Braavos, they don't personally own slaves, which solves that aspect neatly for us.

Boo! Boo, I say! Of all the gods we know they are the best ones to introduce. And we all know the Minotaurs would be all for blood sacrifice in order to get rewards.

We could do a lightning raid on the fighting pits in Slaver's Bay and pick up lots of potential talent with the loyalty of freedom.
But we can't look back, that's a huge timesink if we start screwing around in their politics etc.
I'd vote for a strict no-frills attack without Waymar or Dany.

I'm all for it too, but I have a tendency to not have time when Viserys levels or just plain forgetting to bring it up.

They won't be worshipping anyone with an external influence and agenda. They are ours.
