I think it's an appropriate time for Viserys to let his proud inner dragon shine through... surely the mighty Scalathrax tires of this questioning ?

Aww. Here's to hoping there are a few in there that couldn't run.

@DragonParadox, how are you going to handle loot harvesting in the aftermath of Shadow of the Doom?

The magic items shouldn't have been destroyed, right?

And for the petrified devils, how are we getting the magic items off of them?

Also, about the golems...?
Incredibly realistic statues of steel devil... still housing their soul must fetch a pretty penny.

Imagine a buyer being able to brag about the story of that statue (why ? Yes this is a real devil here) or a lesser mage being able to bind a devil (à la Planar Binding) without the level...
 
What about:
[] "Answer me this then: does the name "Valyria" mean anything to you?"
-[] "I am in truth Viserys Targaryen, head of House Targaryen. I rule in the Plane of Balance, which only recently begun to realign itself with the remainder of the Spheres.
-[] "In approximately half a turning, I will be hosting a delegation from the Sultana and the Grand Vizier to officially re-introduce the Plane to the other Spheres."

Thoughts?

No way in hell. They have far more value as sacrifices.

Needs more "I am leading guerrilla efforts against the Brazen Throne. Consider the part of the loot you are getting as payment in advance to raid Efreeti ships"

I give no fuck about her and the rest of slaver-pirates.

I don't care about making any of them minions or allies.

I don't want to reveal any info on us while we are technically on a black-ops mission from a foreign power against Efreet.

Tldr: I am most assuredly in a minority here :/

The Conference is only a week away.

And that sounds like primo information for Yrten, Siduri, or one of his crew to sell. Not so much the Plane of Balance part, but the gathering itself. Let's not give out such sensitive information, please?

Agreed, I'm against this.

The Grand Vizier specifically wanted raiders with no clear connection to the Opaline Vault. Blabbing about the conference we're about to hold to people we met one day ago shoots that in the foot.

It's one thing to cultivate new contacts, but this is just way too much.

Should we still introduce ourselves as a king from the material, then?

For ages we have kept the plane of balance a secret, even for our allies, no way we are giving them that knowledge like that.
If she does not recognize the name "Valyria" then thats It, no more clues to our origin.
 
No no! Not here!
We're on a Devil ship. If the captain's boss doesn't have a way of monitoring it from afar, I'll eat my hat.
Remember that devil eye that allowed devils to always see through it? I expect similar Divination bullshit.

If you want to talk, talk somewhere else.
 
[X] "Are we not all more than we appear to be at first glance, Wisdom?"
-[X] As we answer, gradually return to human form, timing it so that we become fully human just as we finish speaking.
 
I'm inclined to deflect altogether. We're a Dragon in an era where dragons are very much uncommon, we can quite honestly say you don't get to our age category without a few tricks. "Actually turning into a Dragon" being one of those tricks.

Mindblank.

What about:
[] "Answer me this then: does the name "Valyria" mean anything to you? Perhaps something you might have heard from your parents or grandparents?"
-[] If yes: "I am in truth Viserys Targaryen, head of House Targaryen. I'm King in the Plane of Balance."
-[] If no: "I'm a ruler from another realm."

Better?
This seems like a good idea. Name drop 'Valaryia' and if we get a reaction, shift to human form and see what happens.
We've already shifted back in the ship.

That's another thing, yeah.

I'm fine with people wanting to cultivate new contacts, but we've known these guys for literally one day, and we've done a grand total of one job together.

Let's spend some time getting their measure first before just tossing out intel like candy.

IIRC that was specifically a different form than Viserys' actual true human form as part of our cover.

Here's the deal: the tiefling is a potential link to Valaryia. If these guys were just some pirates we ran across I'd never tell them about home, but there's more to the situation.
