Sure. I'll edit that in with the Valaena half of the vote. Would it be impressive as a casual display of magic to make those copies in front of them as we're talking to them?

Diomedon as much as your idea has merit do you not feel the least bit you know absolutely livid as you are appeasing slavers.

I am ending slavery in the way that has the least negative impact on the functioning of the city, which will let us end slavery in other cities sooner. I have no interest in hurting the effectiveness of our conquest or delay our future conquests for our personal satisfaction over some people who, in the long run, really don't matter. They are not worth it.

From Zero to Hero!
One of those days people will genuinely vote for Viserys to put ranks in Perform (Corpse Puppetry) considering how often this joke is brought up. We even get synergy from five points of intimidate!

If they are not worth it all the more reason not to give a shitbhow we treat them.

A most illustrious court
King Viserys looks at the court disgust, sadly his kingy manners prevent him from properly expressing his true impression of the words that spilled out if the magister's mouth, luckily, months of rule in the Deep had prepared him for such occurrences, this time, he was ready....
The King stands from his throne, and in a booming voice proclaims:
"Court Jester, Royal Shit-talker, please step forth, this a job for you"
Salladhor Saan moves from behind the throne with a grin on his face, he is clearly going to enjoy what is to come.
"Well, fuck me and the ship i rode in on, ain't you all a bunch of colorful pussies, did a flock of birds fly all the way Up from the summer islands and fucked every. Single. Woman in this city years ago? They should have invited me!" He plays with the feathers in his cap as his paces around the room.
"Dear sir, i will not stand for this affront to the good -and fashionable- men of this most noble..."
"CAW CAW!!"
"Excus.."
"CAW CAW! CAW CAW"
"This is outrageous!"
"Whats outrageous is you bunch of clowns getting to say shit like this and not be eaten on the spot, this is a motherfucking dragon right there, and the only reason It does not do so its because passing through his bowels would enrich you all at his expense!."
"Well, that, and Who wants to shit fucking rainbows for a week am i right?, Shit happened to me once, Tyroshi men are not the only ones to use dyes you know?"
"Hell, maybe I am the bird who fucked all your women, CAW CAW!, You think you got a bit of Saan in you son?"
"Sir, i am nearly your age!"
"What can i say? I got started early! So you bunch of spoiled brats listen to your pa and get your fucking heads out of your asses and straight to the dragons scaly asshole before i use my dick to whip you into submission if you know whats good for you!"
"My gracious host, what have we done to deserve such insult to our person? Surely your Grace in his infinite Wisdom knows how unbecoming of a court such language is?".
"Good start with the 'infinite wisdom' there, but you have to work the shaft more, throw in a few "Lord of fire and air", or "his draconic majesty's" in there for effect.
"Thats It! I Will no longer tolerate this farce! If this is what can be expected of your court then your reign shall be short indeed"
Salladhor starts taking off his robes as the Magister realizes in horror whats about to happen.
"Thats no way to talk to your King, come here, why are you running!? Why are you running!?"
Exit, pursued by a Saan.

It's good to remind them that they might accidentally tell the truth at any time they fail a check, may as well not risk it and just go all truth from the beginning.
Better to have Viserys on side than to collude against him only to accidentally out a collaborator and end up with no allies.

It is a most sought after position, Saan had to scheme for months before getting the appointment.

We could pull this off with no consequences what so ever we are gods among men. Plus it would be funny.

For Valaena's disguise, in addition to a greater disguise item, we should have her among a throng of Dragonseeds Dany is training to become Clerics of Draconic Glory.
Not that we'd be training her to be a cleric, but her "I'm a gutterrat who became practically a princess overnight" would shoot up in authenticity if surrounded by other Targ by-blows.

We have round two with the people who were hiding in their manses, and then round three when we hang the worst of the slavers we're arresting after their trials (the consideration in the sentencing has more to do with how much property we leave their heirs. I'm fairly certain only a tiny handful will not have an abundance of evidence of their crimes, so they're pretty much all hanging) in a few days. Need to leave enough room to escalate the fire and brimstone. Viserys can escalate a lot there, but we probably should reserve the actual fire and scary magic for the hanging bit, so leaving some room for unhappy, but not currently murdering you Viserys is appropriate.
Hrm, we've not really started the cleric program, but we do have some dragonseed sorcerers now, I think. Having her mingle with them as their senior would sell the cover better.

Why would we allow the heirs of the worst of them to keep anything? Its not like this Vscerys got anything when his father was dethroned why would we give that benefit to slavers and demon worshipers?

Because it divides the families afterwards (there will be tension between families that lose everything and families who do not), and provides incentives. If you cooperate, if you do as we want, you can salvage something. If you present yourself, if you do not run, hide, try to destroy evidence, etc. you can still gain some things (alternatively, if you turn on your evil uncle and hand him over to us, prevent the evidence from being destroyed, etc, you do not have to suffer for his crimes).
If they are utterly destroyed no matter what they do, they might as well fight us to their last breath, doing everything to spite us. Murder their remaining slaves while they have a chance, set fire to their documents and manse, and do their best to kill us no matter what pacts they must make. In this city, and in the next one we try to conquer.

thats not completely true even in real life nobles and kings who were deposed have fled and lived entire lives deposed or fleeing. Lots of people would choose life even if they may as well be a peasant. in fact its more common for people to choose life than a losing battle in real life.

You deserve ten times the amount of funny ratings I can give you sir. I am glad nobody saw me giggle like an idiot here.

They mean nothing. What they think means nothing. It's the people looking on, who we want to not fight so hard against us that matter. This pagentry is for those people and the Tyroshi magister's are our props. Also avoid party drama.
@Diomedon thing is, this Daemon infiltration is really created by the cities laws and people; nihilism, and desire to make it end. And considering that torture divises are demonstrated on slaves here, how many are desperate to just make the pain stop? How many would do anything? Blaming this on the magister's is no lie
(edit: Viserys is at his most dangerous when he is being honest)Edit edit: would the dragonseeds not be the first people to guess who she is? 'cuz of her being the famous, dragon egg owning, kidnapped daughter of their lord, who acts with the mannerisms of a highborn from their area?
But yeah, reassuring her that we can allow for easy emergency communication and castle relocation seems prudent regardless

That said I do want the Inquisition to hire the better torturers from Tyrosh. Very useful against cultists.They mean nothing. What they think means nothing.

Not worth the PR hit. Also, what a man says under torture is not reliable, as they will say anything to make you stop.
We have freaking magical compulsions man. That's where we should be investing.
