Actually, I prefer this plan and all its deviousness. +1+1Let's play the lizardfolk against each other. Manipulate the priest into becoming more draconic towards the lower classes, with as much fatalities as possible, whilst the scrapper will attempt to lead a revolution.+1
+1 use the queen of spades on the scapper lizard and the 7 of spades on the priest. That'll get them started.
-1. Lets not play our hand yet, literally or figuratively. Let us play towards obvious interpretations of our goal for now, and conserve cards. We want to make him commit to stopping us, and then after he has burnt his hand, go in for the kill. Also, we should not set our pawns directly against each other; We lose if they both die.
For now, have the mastermind deal with our opponents' Pawns. Instruct him to purchase, or otherwise acquire ownership of the slave-pawn, and set it up with some task where it works in isolation far from the others where it can do no harm. Also warn him of the wanderer, and instruct him to use his cunning and reputation to oppose any attempt by said adventurer to assimilate himself into Lizard-Priest society.
I'm not sure if we should play a card this turn. It might be best to build up hand advantage. If we do, I'd recommend playing a diamond in attempt to get a merchant or supply officer among the lizard adventurers, that way our pawns are more spread out and harder to kill in one fell swoop, or drop a spade as a boon to have our miner breach a tomb full of magical knowledge and artifacts.
