On a totally unrelated tangent, I just made a scarily effective spear gun/crossbow from office supplies and a wooden skewer I nabbed from the break room.

Give me a fast-acting neurotoxin to coat the tip and I'll be ready to fight off anyone who invades the office, so long as they are within about 15 feet, give me time to assemble it and aim, and aren't wearing anything thicker than light cotton.

Or I could get a Critical and shoot out one of their eyes.

What is scarier than a Goldfish-spider hybrid? A Goldfish-spider hybrid with a crossbow!

If we ever get into a zombie apocalypse, I'm going to your bunker. If I happen to be in the US

If they are raising arms against our allies, maybe add in to call for surrender "for ones untainted who are but loyal to their lord or pay"

... I meant, use cats as projectiles. You know what cats do to 1st level commoners.

Cat launcher from Family Guy?
 
Viserys detests needless bloodshed.

If it's not being put to use productively, then it's best not to use it. :V
 
I would really like to know what exactly we attack before saying anything definitive here.
If this is cultist-headquarter we should kill everyone who can't be verified as human by our or Richard's sight.

If this is just a random Elephant's house we should act less extreme than Azel proposes.
 
Potato Canon design rarely allows for much use of duct tape.
And if there is anything that signifies Russian ingenuity, its duct tape.

There are weapons in army use that are repaired with this shit.

I'm pretty sure that if there was duct tape in Planetos, there would have been no Sundering, as epic level PCs would have just stitched planes together with majesty of duct tape.
 
@DragonParadox

1. What are Viserys and Ser Richard's IC expectations of the challenges inside? Rituals? Traps? Demons? Cultist champions?
2. Is this manse in particular a major hot spot that Zherys needed us to quell?
3. Should we expect terrified slaves inside that need rescuing?
4. How big is the manse?
5. Can we loot the manse while we're at it?
  1. Traps, mundane guards, maybe some lesser demons
  2. No, but this is a vote for how you will approach the whole action
  3. Maybe
  4. About a hundred rooms
  5. Zherys would appreciate it if you did not
 
Hmm...
Now that I think about it, we might nab Necromancer from Zherys for a few month anyway.

Necromancer aren't useless for us.
And so long as they follow laws of our Empire, they are no different from any other mage.

Have him teach.
Promise him access to dracolich's books for that.
 
@DragonParadox, while on the subject of looting manses in Volantis, I remembered this:
Ransacking the room is much faster than it otherwise would have been with the owner's feverish participation. You recover several scrolls that contained histories written in Valyria itself and in the days following the Doom as well as ledgers and property writs to many of the house's larger properties and stacks of correspondence dating back centuries, some of which still had political significance in the right hands.
Did we ever get a rare book out of this? Scrolls that were scribed in the Freehold itself definitely seem awesome enough to warrant it.
