Avanyiss interrupts Briar, and switches into Serious Mode(tm), adopting a flat, almost monotonal voice, in order to sound more authoritative.
I say so. Despite my anti-monarchist tendencies, I will sell my coupwork services, destabilization expertise, and admittedly limited combat experience to your opponents, or to a would-be conqueror of the isles if you don't get on this right now. My offer is time sensitive, because this miserable city-state of an island in the sky's value is far lower than the land from which it was taken, and my time is valuable. Quite besides, I have evidence known only to me that can be useful in your propaganda efforts to encourage defections to your side, so killing me won't remove my threat from play, it will negatively impact you.
Also I see multiple ways to breach your "unbreachable" fortress. I'll give you one for free. You have poor air defenses, especially considering the existence of airships. Your defense presumably relies overmuch on your dragons existing. I need to inspect your place to find all your vulnerabilities so they can be fixed... but as for now, the additional ones I've found I'm already making notes of how to best exploit.
Avanyiss uses her height to tower over the guards as much as she's able. Hopefully they're shorter than she is...
>Intimidate and bluff the guards until they let us in.
