Keep in mind you have one kid's word. It's a good bet Varys knew something but not how much...
That said considering what he did to those kids being fair to Varys is very low on Viserys' list of priorities.

And they get all knowledge he knows.
And he gets to be reborn some long time later.
Nah, TD is more efficient. Not to mention deserved.

The fact that he conspired to murder our entire capital in wildfire and conspired with fucking Mindflayers to do it means he's tree fodder. There's no defending that.
Not beyond him being the Measter of Coin and seemingly Jon Aryn's man

It's sufficient suspicion to take a little stroll through Varys brain and if we don't find anything in there that justifies sacrificing him, I'm eating my hat.

So? Let them have it. In the meantime they torture him for eternity. Everything he knows will be worse than useless anyway after we take Westeros. Besides, he's certainly not going to Hell. Varys is anything but Lawful. The demons are far less worrisome as enemies go.

You are leaving room for a chance.
Don't do that please.
Let me have it, already. I want to TD someone with a combo of Scythe, research (how to pull out souls out if it), and Yss already.
Its not like I'm going to get a better candidate any time soon :/

I really don't believe this paranoia is justified.

I would rather invest that research time into upgrading Dark Sister to harvest souls.
Night guys, see you tomorrow with dragon dreams and the journey east
What's to stop us from replacing the little birds with Glyra's band and leaving the precise manor in which Varys gets taken down to their discretion? I bet the results would be interesting. So long as we give them parameters like "leave our involvement secret" and "don't conquer Westeros without us", I could see that working out pretty well.

ah yes, that...
(I really feel bad for abandoning the list I made, but I don't have heart to return to it and look through mountain that is outdated by now)
Am I getting these right, everyone?
Research actions to be slotted for the next turn(s):
[] Heart Tree/Ash Willow mix.
[] Fungal Pods
[] Maelephant Breathweapon (advanced memory manipulation)
[] Dark Sister upgrade (soul-catching nets, Scythe, Amrelath's bones)
[] Advanced antigrav manipulation

I see that ya'll are wanting to place Protection from Evil enchantments on the Valyrian Steel banner poles, and understandably so. The problem with that, however, is the limitations of the Protection from Evil spell and what would be needed to make it viable.
Instead, what if we put some large AoE spells on them at a respectable caster level, with the increased price being mitigated by only being able to activate once each week?
Bless, Elation, and Moment of Greatness would be perfect for this. Used in conjunction with one another, all Legion soldiers in range would get a significant boost (+2 Strength, +2 Dexterity, +1 Initiative, +1 AC, +1 Reflex saving throw bonus, +2 Attack bonus, +1 on saves vs Fear, and a +5ft movement speed increase) for at least one minute. They could cancel Moment of Greatness to double the bonus from Bless or Elation for a single check. Double the effect of Elation, for example, and their Attack bonus increases to +3, their Initiative increases by +2, AC by +2, and Reflex save by +2.
At 10th level, Bless and Moment of Greatness would last for 10 minutes and Elation would last for one minute. For a Command activated magic item, that would be extremely expensive, at 7,200 IM.
But if we make it just 1/Day, the price falls to 1,440 IM, and if we decrease that further, to just 1/Week, the price becomes a very manageable 206 IM. For Lya, that would only cost 154.5 IM.
If we're going to waste Valyrian Steel on banner poles, of all things, the least we can do is spend 154.5 IM on each one of them to provide some useful effects to the Legion.

I would like that stuff, but in addition to the PfE.
The thing I want the most is the protection from mind-control. Remember that fuck-huge jellyfish-blimp the Illithid used against us? It could mind-control stuff in a radius of miles. We need to protect against this kind of bullshit and while the spells you mention are neat, they aren't addressing that particular need.

@DragonParadox how much to enchant a feat into the banner poles? I'm thinking Draconic Aura (Vigor). We could price it as if it cast Heroics on the wearer (because it grants a fixed thematic feat) but only have it provide this one feat?
And nothing fits "Dragon Banner" more than "Draconic Aura". The effect would also be pretty great for our Legion.

@Azel i think magic circle against X would be more efficient for aoe protect.
As far as getting that done well? And cheaply?
Ask the Archons. The carry magic circle against evil inherently I bet they know tons of cool tricks. (Also thier bits are probably good reagents)
Then we throw on deep roots for dispelling resistance and... Bam!
...
Christ our army is terrifying holy shit. Like. I've seen PC's less terrifying than what were making
Edit: you want PFE as standard gear? Buy it from the archons. They get it as standard gear.

We want them capable of going against armies of undead and fiendish Legions. They kinda need it.
Nevermind that this also means that they can rofl-stomp any current Planetosi army.

I really would like to bother the Archons about it however. They probably deal with dispellation all the time, and if they have something we can throw on top of deep roots...

Please stop pushing Archon-agenda, it is getting uncanny now.
We are asking them about how they make weapons and ask for all lore they can spare.
This will either include PoF's, or they don't have a way to reliably and cheaply make those.
...although when we are getting answers is kind of uncertain.
DP kinda missed me pointing this part of minor actions out several times in a row, and I don't want to appear pushy or obsessed about those :/

So for every Legion...
(((836 x 7) + 27) x 2) + 42 = 11800 people
Every Valyrian Steel Thinblade costs about 2 lbs. So to fully deck out one Legion in Valyrian Steel weapons (and holy hell do I want to do this) that's going to need 23,600 lbs of Valyrian Steel. That's 472 HD of fiends (manageable), and 47,200 lbs of Hellforged Iron.
This can obviously wait until after the Harbinger is crafted, but it's definitely a goal I want to work towards. How badass would it be that our fucking footsoldiers are rocking Valyrian Steel Thinblades?

Everyone carries a Thinblade because it's just a supremely good weapon, but you are including in your calcs crossbowmen, cavalry of both kinds and all the support staff.

I'm against it. I prefer to keep it for megaprojects and elites
Our footsoldiers are already better equipped than anyone else!

Do you have the numbers for them? I don't actually know how many non-combatants and crossbowmen and such there are.
