Eh, call me sentimental, but I'd still rather have Dark Sister and Blackfyre kept in Targaryen hands.
Wasn't the plan for her to be a silver dragon riding us as a Mature Adult Red Dragon?

But that does remind me, we need to reserve a Valyrian Steel sword for Malarys when we get our hands on some more.

Speaking of Dragons, I wouldn't be surprised if Malarys knew of a way to hatch our (future) petrified eggs.
Here's what we've got:
Of these weapons, one Valyrian Steel Longsword has been set aside for Valaena, and one Valyrian Steel Axe has been set aside for Asha. We can give Malarys the second Valyrian Steel Longsword to acknowledge his house as a dragonlord house. I'm not sure he'd actually know how to use it, but eh. It's the symbolism of it all that counts, and it'll only bind Malarys ever closer to us. If he wants he could eventually pay for Lya to put an enchantment on it, though I think he'll be more prudent than that with how he upgrades his gear.
I wouldn't doubt he does. Now we just need to get some of those petrified eggs to practice on.Speaking of Dragons, I wouldn't be surprised if Malarys knew of a way to hatch our petrified eggs.
It would most likely involve super evil blood sacrifice or something similar, but so long as no one knows about it...
Yeah, I derped, I started thinking that we have loot that we haven't gotten yet.Here's what we've got:

0/10 No Little Valyrian gunners.

So it has come to this...
I think that is the difference in perspective, because I doubt Malarys would care about fighting monsters and protecting people from fiends and such. He likely would have been one of the people sacrificing peasants to fiends for power and favorsI always thought we demonstrated power because it was an unavoidable consequence of fighting monsters, to show that the world is not utterly screwed by fiends and such, and most importantly, spread a basic cultural understanding of the do nots of this new world.
Which means getting people educated. Which requires incentive. Which requires being amazing so people can see cool stuff can be done, and providing them with a wholesome path to power so they can see that there are non-evil ways of getting magic so they can do awesome stuff too.
And when they get magic, as a level one Wiz/archivist, and slowly level up, they make lives for themselves, gain context of how easy or difficult the parties deeds were, and then understand their own limits.
Basically show a good example so people don't take up bad habits - and to promote positive mental health in our party by having a positive atmosphere when they go out and about town, especially considering the effects of Damphair* **
The beloved sorcerer king aspect is just a bonus.
Actual question, does Viserys have a guess as to why Malarys wanted Viserys to believe that Malarys thinks, (in an 'this is surprising' kind of way) that Viserys "really does care"?
I've had trouble coming up with reasons why, but then again, I'm unskilled at this sort of thing :/
*How salty the Lannister wand crafter would be if she saw how mages were treated in SD make's me feel good about our (players) own salt levels, but her problems will become our problems in a year or two.
**Damphair is just a stupid stupid name.
@BeepSmile, looking back at that scene:
I think Malarys was appealing to what he believed that we deemed a worthy value--caring for those beneath you. And to be fair he was spot on. If he lives by that value then we'll have basically no problems with him.
Tyene's stamp of approval is conditional that either we or Dany have to be there to keep an eye on Malarys. I guess we're definitely bringing him with us. Ignoring Tyene's advice is folly.
This is a great idea! We could Also mount a crossbow there, with the Monkeys operating them as a ballista.I just had a silly thought. What if our Minotaurs had special horn-mounted slingshot catapults for their Little Valyrian gunners to use?
Most statesmen can't really get one, so they are left wanting. But that's just the difference between a worthy king and an unworthy one.

Is that a challenge? @Fehu @Duesal lets get the forges hot, 500 sets of wings need to be ready by the end of the year....
Glyra borrows Moonsong's alterself item, a disguise ribbon (to look like an adult) then has Tyene set up a permanent illusion of her going "fly my pretties, fly!" On a loop when a Little Valerian flies out a particular window.
It rapidly gets annoying
That said, I get the appeal of a mass production flesh-forge now.
Giving 500 monkeys wings is a significant challenge. It may be downright infeasible, which is refreshingly uncommon in this quest
