[X] Plan "So your daughters wants to be an adventurer?"
-[X] "Your daughter Brienne is the main reason we have traveled to Tarth, my lord. Word of her deeds has begun to spread beyond the shores of this island, of evils fought and costly triumphs, of treachery and survival by the barest of margins. Brienne appears to have truly embraced her calling in the short time since we were last here." Encourage Selwyn to speak of Brienne's accomplishments and struggles, if he seems willing.
--[X] When Viserys deems it most appropriate, move on to this: "Well I know the difficulty of fighting dark creatures with little more than luck, skill, and a glimmer of sorcerous power, my lord. It has not been so many years since my magic awakened in Braavos, when even a minor talisman might be the difference between life and death as my companions and I fought monsters crawling out of their hidden slumber. We could have all died on more than one occasion for simple lack of adequate supplies." Look to Dany and Richard to provide confirmation of this statement.
---[X] "It is now within my means to make certain that others who have taken up the cause of defending humanity, of protecting the innocent from those whom would prey upon them, are adequately prepared for the rigors of battle. If you would allow me, I would bestow upon Brienne the fruits of my artificers' labor; enchanted arms and armor, talismans to ward the mind and body, and various accoutrements to aid her in battle. From my alchemists, I would make available a stockpile of substances, some to use to heal the body, to purge toxins or disease, and others to use as weapons should the situation demand it. And lastly, compiled from my libraries, books and notes which provide detailed information on the strength and weaknesses of the monsters, of how to identify them, and how to defend against them."
----[X] If Selwyn seems reluctant to allow Brienne to accept such an offering, or suspicious of the offer, explain; "These should not be considered gifts, my lord. Brienne has chosen the path of a defender, shielding others from danger and violence. Please allow us to give her the tools that might help her live a long rewarding life, one interrupted by unfortunate bouts of violence, rather than a short brutal existence snuffed out decades too soon."
-[X] With that matter settled, move on to an equally weighty issue. "I fear there is more to discuss than your daughter's deeds or the tools I would bestow upon Brienne to aid in her holy duty, my lord. Horrors from the depths of nightmare now plague Westeros, yet oaths sworn in good conscience would prevent lords from accepting my aid, would even see those whom I help labeled traitors for not rejecting my assistance."
--[X] "For years since the return of magic, devils have worked their twisted plots, the restless dead stir from their crypts and barrows, and beasts from times immemorial awaken to devour us all, and what has been done in response?"
---[X] "Tywin Lanniser's force of armsmen, knights, and mages are allowed to run rampant, committing wholesale slaughter of the inhabitants of those villages suspected of dealing with dark powers, yet do nothing to prevent them from being tainted in the first place. Perhaps in time this strategy might succeed, or transform Westeros into an abandoned wasteland drowned in the blood of the innocent and the damned alike." If Selwyn seems receptive, explain to him what we have learned of Tywin's practice of binding mages and enchanting his vassals.
----[X] "The thought of a king allowing this darkness to sink its claws so deeply into the land without even attempting to root it out...the sheer incompetence of it is simply unacceptable. How many wrongs must I right or monsters must I slay, all without the cooperation or trust of the lords of the land, hamstrung as they are by their oaths of fealty to an ineffectual king. What good is a king who does not use his power and influence to protect his people, my lord?
-----[X] "My duty compels me to try to secure the safety of the people regardless, because I am not pretender to the Iron Throne."
------[X] "I am, and have always been, Viserys Targaryen, rightful ruler of Westeros and King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men. And I would be failing in my duty to behave in any other manner."
-[X] When Brienne is summoned to Selwyn's presence, greet her as you would any adult hero, but without seeming patronizing due to her age or gender. She has more than earned the right to such respect.
--[X] After speaking with her, perhaps reiterating some of what we already told Selwyn, draw from within our cloak a large chest of exquisite craftsmanship. It contains her Adventurer's Starter Kit(™). We will, of course, provide her instruction on the function of the contents.
