The Top 100 Things I'd Do
If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord

I think we should assume so.

Well, if I need a secret code for anything, I'll keep this in mind.

Sixty-one?

61. If my advisors ask "Why are you risking everything on such a mad scheme?", I will not proceed until I have a response that satisfies them.

...Is not telling your advisors about schemes you suspect they'll frown on against the spirit of the rule?

Yeah.

What if I think I'm smarter than anyone that I have advising me? 

Do you?

Yes.

Are you?

...What if I think I'm smarter than anyone who I both have advising me and who I trust to have my best interests at heart, or even just in mind?

Is it the case?

Ileosa can honestly say she thinks so. 

She seems a little proud of this. 

Are you, in fact, the smartest person in the Infinite Planes?

No...?

Find better advisors. 

Well, there's the whole principal-agent problem, right

Can you teleport back to Westcrown and ask your dad about the risky mad scheme you don't want to talk about?

...

What if he says I shouldn't go through with it?

Do you think that he would?

...Probably.

What makes you think that?

I don't know... a lot of reasons!

I ran away from Westcrown because I was sick of Aberian Arvanxi riding herd on me. I wanted to do things myself. And I have!

Look at me! Five years out from under his thumb, and now look at me. I'm a queen... well, if Queen of Korvosa counts as being a queen, I'm a queen, but. 

I'm a queen, and I'm a higher character level than he is, higher circle, higher BAB, and I've got a fancier headband, and my staff wizard is way stronger than his, and I'm building a cult of personality and I've gotten pretty good at breaking people to my will, which wasn't something he really did at all. I'm even better at fencing than he is! He should be taking advice from me! I don't need him to bow and scrape or acknowledge me as his better even though he would if we weren't related, but he should see what I've accomplished and - and if we talk, I won't be any of that, I'll just be his daughter Ileosa in over her head and begging for a crumb of his wisdom.
