our force roster


20 Elite Marksmen Rangers
50 Veteran Archers
57 Trained Ironmen Garrison
80 Trained Sword Garrison

no Castles
One Keep
no Towers

we may be able to use durian's forces if the need is dire enough but it would take several weeks before his forces could reach us
his forces are

150 Trained Archer
50 Heavy Calvary
100 Trained Swordsmen
250 Trained Spearmen

and his merchant fleet is:

Trading fleet of 4 frieghters and two Ballista Ship Escorts

heres an updated map of the lords nearby that we know of, Werth has gotten a large chunk of land of Ex Criin Land

Our Estate and the resources we control

Eldest Son: Ian
Middle Son: Calum
Youngest Son: Zachary
Eldest Daughter: Edyth
Youngest Daughter: Dina
Watch Commander Kelor
Maester Herla
Ranger Bertrand

we have two old growth forests, a newer slightly shinier forest

we also have a mill

untapped resources:
Iron x1
Gold X1
Pitch X1
Silver X1
Coal X1

Tapped resources
Granite x1 (needs to be further refine
iron X1

we have trade going to Greyjoy, White Harbour and Durian,
we on average get close to 450 dragons from trade with another 200-250 from income

Our people are fed as it is, and any surplus we get are being stored for the Winter

>>16594793
How much does it cost to refine the granite mines some more?
What is the cost of building towers?

>>16594833

it costs 600 to expand the quarry and 100 per wooden tower and 200 per stone tower

for some reason 4chan doesnt like paint.net SO HERES A MSPAINT VERSION

derp fixed the problem

So should we work on the granite mines, or start on the gold, iron, or silver?

cannot into questing tonight.
Must watch Game of Thrones.

rolled 55 = 55

>>16594879
I vote we expand the granite mines, and build a stone tower next to the iron mine.

>>16594879
Keep mining the granite, iron, and perhaps a little bit of mining silver.
We if we mine out the rare resources then it will give our enemies all the more reason to strike us as we basically did a hard job for them.

>>16594879

The Granite Mine would cut down on building stone towers by 50 dragons, and the building of futrure stone castles/keeps by 500 (down to 2500 /1500)

The Gold mine costs 500 and could be used to trade to several large families for other benefits/kept to be used as a bargining tool

Silver would be 400 and would be the same as above

Pitch is used to turn usually nonflammable stuff flammable and to waterproof objects and would cost 450

Coal would be 300 and allow for the production of steel objects

currently you have a market, but no blacksmith (costs 350)

>>16594900

Do both!

Bran would understand...

>>16594960
Oh, how I hate that prince already.
Proud little bastard. Gets himself bested by a little girl and the wolf has to bleed for it. Not to mention the butcher's boy.
Bunch of incestous snakes.

>>16594904

"Herla, Kelor!" you beckon "Come here, we need to discuss matters."

they enter the Great hall looking nervously between them

"we need to secure our borders, Kelor i am leaving that up to you, here is 200 gold dragons to find a suitable place around the mine to build and for workmen. And Herla take 600 gold out of the treasury to further expand and build the Quarry."

looking relived they leave to go do their tasks

1144-800=344

>>16595027
Bro, you're talking about Prince Joffrey, the Lannister brat.
Bran is Ned Stark's kid, the one who loves to climb.

>>16595027

it is pure bliss...

also you need to read the books,

also the person who played tyrion got a emmy for his role, i thinks its just cause of pic

>>16595076
I know. Should have made that clearer. Just had to watch the poor wolf die.
And now even more Lannister creeping. Most unsympathetic family, one might say.

>>16595086
Yes, that alone is reason enough. Should have slapped him with a book.

"-And the tower should be finished in three months Sir. Also what about Slia's Proposal, about his so called...Officers" Kelor asks, between mouthfuls of Mutton.

"Ah yes...i forgot about that."

Slia's Proposal is to build a Officer Corp, to train promising recruits to lead men into battle, the building would cost 300 dragons to build and to pay 30 dragons a month for the officers (though this could be brought down)

rolled 55 = 55

>>16595052
344?
Damn, just short of being bale to hire a blacksmith and create a forge...
How much of a difference is six dragons anyways?

rolled 78 = 78

>>16595120
Oh, actually, scratch this: >>16595129
Let's build the officer school instead.

>>16595129

6 dragons could mean quality Steel and quality shit

Blacksmith's are very finnicky and don't like prices to be cut

>>16595146
Okay then.
We'll wait for the forge.

>>16595143

You decided to build the officer school in The Roost so you could watch over it personally, it will take six months to build.

>>16595182
And by that I mean, "we'll wait to build the forge," not "we want to start building right now."

Alright, so what now, OP?
How is the construction of Ian's Fault going?
How is Zachary's squiring going?

you now have 44 dragons left, and have received a letter from Dina

"Dearest father,

I am loving spending time here me and Arya are becoming fast friends, and sansa is teaching me how to be more lady like! I see bran quite often, he often climbs into my room and we talk often! Theres a Greyjoy here also! his name is Theon he seems quite nice, but he tends to stay away from me and follows around Robb and Jon Snow around quite a bit.

Why do they call him Snow and not Stark?

Dina"

>>16595259

Ian's Fault has just recently finished their first Pier and trade is slowly trickling in from White Harbor

Zachary hasn't written in ages, probably due to Weynwoods intense studies and training regime

thats up for you to decide this is a bit more open-ended then most quest games

rolled 45 = 45

>>16595261
Umm...
How to explain this to Dina...
On another note, I guess we can't really do anything until another month's worth of income comes in.

rolled 80 = 80

>>16595281
Okay then, let's summon Ranger Bertrand and get a status check on the bandits.
We'll also send a letter Zach inquiring about how his training is going.

time seems to disappear and before you know it taxes have came in

125 from Greyjoy
150 from White Harbor
75 from Durian (piracy?)

350 from trade

125 from The Roost
175 from Ian's Fault

300 from Taxation

650 total

650+44=694

"Dearest father,

Please forgive me for not writing sooner, but Ser Weynwood has been keeping me very busy lately, we just recently got finished with a two month trip around his holdings to show me how a ruler rules with honor and love rather then an iron fist of hate, he says i have great promise to be a knight!

Zachary"

rolled 72 = 72

>>16595261
Ah, good to hear she has not angered the Starks.

For the answer: "Dearest Daughter,
I think, I can well say you would not recognize our lands the day you return. These days it's all building and prospering around us.
You should know Ian is married now. But you can see for yourfelf, once you return.
To answer your question; That would be because he is what one calls an illegitimate son. He is a son of Ned's but not of his wife.
A most delicate and sensitive matter. So be careful not to bring it up. It would surely hurt his feelings.
I hope you and Arya are behaving yourselves and don't go climbing around with Bran. A fine young lady like you really should not do this.

Your loving father."

>>16595369
Let's build a smithy and start mining coal for steel!

>>16595350

"well you see M'lord, we've found that the rest of the force young Jerimiah bout is held up in the woods to the east, in a small box canyon me and my lads have been doin some raiding tactics on them but they are holed up there pretty deep my best recollection seems to be about 250 trained men in there."

>>16595383

"Dearest father,

I cannot wait to come home, I won't bring it up with Jon and act like ntohing is the matter. Though just yesterday he took Me Bran and Arya out riding, it was oh so much fun, we saw a moose out there and it made me miss mother's sausages oh so much!

Dina"

250 men?
That's larger than our entire garrison combined!
Where the hell did these guys come from, and how can we deal with them?

Tell Bertrand to keep an eye on them. If they move in small batches, Wipe out the batches, if they move too big on you, fall back before they reach you.
Dont fight the bandits all at once, make it a dozen, two dozen, three dozen battles, each of which, you'll win.

Bertrand comes stumbling in, you can tell that he is bleeding quite profusely from his arm, dragging with him a man in chains cursing up a storm.

"Here you go M'lord," he coughs, "i got one of them but lost 9 of me lads, there were 20 of them. Now if you'll excuse me, i needa visit the maester" he finishes stumbling off to maester Herla's room

Ask the scumbag bandit who was his financier, ask to see his weapons. Ask his name, house, hometown. Everything. He may not be a Criin man.

>>16595978

you order your guards to take him down to the jail and finish up your dinner.

walking down there you can already hear him.

as you walk up to him he spits on you, wiping off the spit you back hand him

"Whats your name? you demand."Who sent you!"

he laughs at you and spits blood at your feet.

"my name is Jero Slin, Part of the Long Blades who sent us is part of our agreement, we cant tell you,"

you walk around his cell again, "you know if you tell us, i could make this a lto easier then it is.'

"Oh, can you know?" he laughs "were all getting paid a hefty sum just to make your lfie hell." and with that he spits on you again

Time for some torture.
Get Slio down here.

>>16596166

You summon Slio down to the dungeon as he gets down he sees the prisoner and gives you an inquisitive look.

"Extract any information from him as you can." you say

"ill try my best" he replies

several hours later he walks upstairs and says "he wouldnt tell me his benefactors name, but all i could get from him was that another 250 was coming as well at the end of the year

rolled 69 = 69

>>16596082
Let's give him some mindgames.

"A hefty sum, eh? So your employer is someone wealthy, that IS interesting... I'm wealthier than most of my enemies, so you've just narrowed the field considerably. Please, do go on... Jero, was it? You're already being most cooperative."

Call it a day, OP, then announce when the next chapter will be. I'm on GMT and could really do with some sleep.

you walk down back to his cell, and from the looks of it Slio's down a number, his sides are completely bruised and battered and he breathes in ragged breaths

"well, i do hope your more willing to talk now" you say rubbing your hand somewhat fiercely on his brused ribs

"YES" he coughs out

"tell me...whats the deposition of this force thats coming and whos your benefactor

"Theres going to be " he coughs " 100 swordsmen, 50 calvary and 100 archers to support " he coughs some more " to support our forces here. and i told your friend, i don't know who the benefactor is only the commander does."

"Well...how many forces do you have here?" you ask

"theres 130 spearmen, and 90 archers" he couighs some more this time with blood

Maybe someone Ian pissed off. Or maybe someone is unhappy with Durian's marriage. Lets Ian if anything happened. Also send a Raven to Durian and see if he knows of this Blue Peacock, also see how the newly weds are.

>>16596574
When Ian was in Dorn, is what I meant.

rolled 52 = 52

>>16596574
Based on the name and the ...unique clothing, he's probably from one of the Free Cities, Braavos or Tyr most likely. They're all about bright colors, and have no shortage of flamboyant bandits.

We could try asking if this Peacock speaks with a strange accent.

>>16595027
>Bunch of incestous snakes.

You get used to it.

>>16596534


"Oh, i have much better plans for you" you grin at him "Guard, fetch Herla, tell him to come tend to our...Friend.' you grin at him "you are to take the black, and follow Lord Criin up there, you will report to us monthly, and you will live."

he looks at you with blackened eyes "but...but i have a family" he watches your face for any change of emotion and when none comes he slinks in submission "Very well...i accept, and if you capture the Blue Peacock, theres a letter left in the camp, can you please send it to my wife and kids?"

rolled 63 = 63

>>16596619
Seems reasonable.
Tell him that in exchange for his service, we'll take care of his family, and reward them for any useful information he sends us.

>>16596619

"just one last thing...are you from the free cities?"

he looks up at you with tears running down his face "No, im from Dorne, but the Blue Peacock and most of the Long Blades are, Why?"

"only flamboyant mercenaries come from them."

rolled 29 = 29

>>16596619

"You were a bandit in my land. The penalty for bandintry is either death or the Wall."

We pause for a moment in thought, then nod softly. "I am allowing you to live because you are useful to me. If this letter is found I will certainly send it to your family. Perhaps a few dragons may be sent as well. I can not allow your children to suffer because of your foolishness."

I think we could easily spare three or four dragons to help make up his mind who he should be faithful to.

>>16596602
If I remember correctly Dorn is known for it's peacocks, and we really haven't had contact with any other place besides the area around us, and Dorn.

>>16596660

he looks at you "thank you m'lord, it is to my family...and please dont tell them i was a bandit, tell them i died doing something heroic"

"you pat him on the shoulder, "Very well" as Maester Herla approaches and starts cleaning his wounds.

I know it is a little iffy, But.
We do have our Son-in-laws Army that is greater than ours whom we could call on for support.
And we have the whole, a small army of mercenaries is marching through the Nothern lands Ned intent to destabilize us, what say you and I put on our sunday best and mess them up?

>>16596705

A thought occured to me, maybe we could use this captured bandit to try and convince others to abandon their attack on us?

If he is particularly helpful, we may find it in our hearts to pardon him and let him escape his fate upon the Wall, perhaps return him home with a much heavier purse...

>>16596747

it would take several months for the entirety of his army to reach us, and thats if he finds it worthy enough, plus he did mention that the rest of the force is still several months away, might be able to deal with it in other more inventive ways...

I wonder what requirements we should meet before we go traveling

rolled 50 = 50

>>16596790
I'm sure your hint at demolishing the box canyon to crush the hundreds of men under, but i think a more appropriate response would be to sue support from other bannerlords or Stark himself, as this is an army of mercenaries that've come to these lands to sow discord and chaos.

Have we received word from The Citadel? At the end of the last thread we sent out a raven to Archmaester Marwyn, trying to see if his esoteric knowledge could help cure Calum's madness or if he could decode the strange writings Calum seems fond of.

You recieve a letter several days letter

"By the behest of the Warden of the North, you are awarded 200 dragons, Jeremiah's Lookout and Herlog's Watch and the garrison's in them

I'd say send the spears to Ian and let the Dorne's play around with them.

rolled 3 = 3

>>16596978
That seems kind of high, I hope they're hardened badasses.

Anyway, as far as creative combat...let's siege the bandits.
They're in a canyon, so we can show up with some spearmen and hide-wrapped turtles to seal them in.
We don't need to spill a drop of blood. Demand to see their commander for parlay, and let's see if we can't learn who we're up against.

Mercenaries, as we've seen, are easy enough to turn.

Herla runs up to you looking like a giddy child and hands you a piece of paper

"By the time you have recieved this i should be nearly there, i have taken a keen interest in your plight and am coming to see it firsthand and hopefully remedy it

Marwyn"

you give Herla a inquistive glance "how long have you had this? and who is this Marwyn?

"He's the most learned of all the maesters hes travelled all around the world, rumor is he even got to Atrophor! and hes coming here!"

"well, as long as he cures Calum he will be welcomed." you say nonchalantly

rolled 27 = 27

I say we send a message to Stark about how over three hundred mercenaries are descending upon the region. He's close enough to give us some support
We don't want to look weak, but there's a difference between "not being able to handle some goatfucking peasant bandits with clubs and machetes" and "outnumbered by a mercenary horde that the goddamn Freys probably hired."
I don't want us to mention my suspicions of the Freys to Ned, BTW. Just bringing it up.

you summon your forces together and march to the location where Bertrand tells you where the mercenaries are holed up, as you approach an outrider approaches you, you tell him that you need to vacate the land or suffer the consequences, he laughs at you spits on your boots and rides off to the canyon, marching after him you finally enter a wide cut area, and at the end to the entrance of the box canyon is a large wooden wall seeing you and your army the gates open and out marches the spearmen amd most of the archers and array themselves opposite of your forces

rolled 54 = 54

Well, either way how this battle is going to go its going to be bloody,

you send a courier forward, to tell them that they will be spared if they take the black, their response was to send him back bloodied and beaten

Unfurling your No Survivors Banner (we need to come up a name for the no Survivors banner) you order your iron men and swordsmen to hold their ground and your archers to attack

you watch as their spearmen advance across the ground and their archers start firing, most of your men start cowering behind their shields but a lot more fall screaming, men start to look around nervously.

"HOLD YOUR GROUND MEN, BLOODY VICTORY OR BLOODY DEATH!" you yell at them bolstering their morale somewhat but they still seem unsure

A Roar erupts from your men and they charge forward,the Mercenaries not expecting it couldnt brace their weapons and you and your men into the thick of battle swinging with Ironbeak you cleave a mans arm from his body and he screams in pain.

"MEN TO ME! PUSH FOR THE WALL!" you swing Ironbeak around slicing another mans hand off, and pointing to the large wooden gate, slowly, you and your men grind your way through the spearmen, before emerging on the other side, the archers seeing this start making a retreat behind the wall but your archers keep them pinned down.

as you ride closer you can see men start throwing down their weapons and pleading for mercy.

"MEN SHOW THEM THE MERCY OF THE NORTH!" you yell as your horse carries you straight into them

But anyways the watch is going to love us for all the men we're sending them.

>>16597606

your men break through the archers, the screams for mercy is cut short by sword blow or spear thrust, you ride into the camp, followed by the remaining men you ride up to the largest tent, and ride through the opening, and you see a large squealing man dressed completely in blue

perhaps its not deaths, just men wounded by war enough they are no longer able to reliably fight.
they could still sow the fields or pull a net, but to hold a sword or brace a spear? no.

>>16597939
We'd have to pay them mercenary rates, no doubt, which may be more expensive.

Let's loot the camp and take final stock of everything.

Hey OP, I had a little time so I thought I'd tighten the painting a little bit. Nice to see this thing's taken off

Also, rolling to support the failed roll of >>16598018

You dismount of your horse, and walk over to him and grabbing him in your mailed fist pull him up "who was your employer!" you yell at him spittle running down his cheeks.

"IT...IT..IT WAS SOME MAN WHO WORKED FOR SOMEONE ELSE! HE HAD RED HAIR AND A SCAR.we were hired out of Braavos, and our ship was paid for entirely by this man!" he blubbers "he smelt of fish also! he told us to only harass you and not attack you fully on unless were threatened." tears start running down his cheeks and you smell something offending as well "Please don't kill me! i was just following orders!

Goddammit, you people suck at rolling.
Also, let's get peacock hat faggot to tell us absolutely everything he knows about this red haired scarred asshole.

you order your men to look the base, and bring what they find to you.

after a couple of minutes a man comes up to you and whispers into your ear "We've found several letters, a box of Dornish Wine, 200 golden dragons, amd what seems to be several curved blades that are heavier on the blade side. And we found this." he hands you a ledger.

among the various deposits and withdrawals the latest shows a deposit of 10,000 golden dragons by a Ser William Color

>>16598128

you walk over to him "Who is this William Color?" you ask

"he's the man that hired us! Last i saw he was still in Braavos, please sir i told you everything i know, please have mercy!"

>>16598175
"Blue Peacock, you are to make your penance, til your end of days, On The Wall. You will take the black, a raven's feather, and with your surviving men, you will make up for your crimes of today and any other you have committed in my lands. Your skills as a leader will benefit the Wall, or else each of your limbs will hang from my keep, with a single, Peacocks feather adorning each of them."

>>16598238
And we still need to establish the Bandit's Bane Lumber Camp that lies near the white road, with the small keep atop it acting as a guard post/tower with a tavern in the palisade surrounding it.

Rollin' for support.

Someone re-roll for these.

Fine, my posts, might as well roll for them

as soon as he hears the wall he screams and lunges at you with a dagger drawn, batting it away with you hand you stab him straight through the gut with Ironbeak, he slumps down pushing it even further into him until finally a rattling gasp leaves him and he goes limp

well there goes the wall for him

Really.
At lest wait until i make a roll maester.

as you leave the peacock's tent you see your men scavenging through the camp, a few of them have a new jewel or a nice shiny gold dragon but most look like they havent found anything worth while and just sit caring to the wounded.

As you approach the man caring for them turns to you bows and says "most of these men won't last, i can only save about 35 of them, but the rest are beyond my capabilities, most of them are gut wounds." he says sadly.

looking around you see that there is about 50 wounded most of them crying out for their mother. "it would do them some good if they heard a speech by their lord."

>>16598343

my bad, but it looks like it really doesn't change anything

rolled 20 = 20

>>16598364

Perhaps this would be a great time for a certain Archmaester to wander through on his way to our keep...

the going is slow as the wounded are carefully carried back to tend to their wounds, it is late at night before you make it back to your keep, and as you enter you can hear Calum raving about something, as you approach his room, Maester Herla is standing outside it.

Seeing you he runs up to you "Sir, don't go in there Maester Merwyn is in there looking him over, he does not wished to be disturbed"

"what time did he get here?" you mumble

"a few hours after you left. he got quickly to working with Calum, he didn't even let me in " he says with a hurt tone, but i suspect he knows how to help calum."

rolled 57 = 57

>>16598475

Call to the kitchen, have them bring up cheese, bread, sausages, and wine. We will wait outside with Measter Herla and shoot the shit while we await Archmaester Merwyn.

Maybe the smell of food will entice the Mage to take a break and speak with us.

You know I feel as if we should give a good burial for all the troops that died today.

>>16598515

Depending on our available funds, I would suggest sending some money to the families.

rolling for these

Morning comes and you awaken by Maester Herla

"hurry my lord, Maester Merwyn is waiting in the Hall to talk to you" Herla says impatiently, pacing around the room as you get ready.

you finally get down to the Great Hall, Herla running in front of you, as you walk into it you see Herla standing next to a wizened old man, who walks over to you and offers you his hand. "I'm Maester Merwyn" he intones dryly "I read your letter personally...and i must have seen this for myself."

he hobbles over to the table and sits down motioning for you and Herla to join him. Just then your wife, with a ripening belly comes out of the kitchen with a large loaf of hot honey bread and sits it down on the table in between you three and sits down next to you.

"So what is i Merwyn" she says " whats wrong with my boy?" she asks frantically.

"well...dear lady" he starts eyeing the honey bread "it seems that your son has the greenseer gift." he coughs slightly looking at you two

"Greenseer?" you say incredulously "but those are just fables and myths!"

"heh, not so...back in the old days, before the wall was built people far more north travelled quite often down her to raid, plunder or to even settle Westeros, they brought with them the godswoods and Greenseers, who could communicate with nature so to say, i thought it was lost until you wrote to the citadel, and i just had to see it for myself.

rolled 69 = 69

>>16598582
Although you will have to maintain their religious burial practises. I don't know in particular how the Ironborn prefer to be buried for example.

rolled 52 = 52

>>16598587

A Greenseer? My word! What does this mean for his madness? Will he regain himself soon?

Breakfast! Whatever Maester Merwyn wishes!

>>16598587

"well is there anyway to cure him of his rantings?" Karyn asks

"mmm no it doesnt seem like its curable, but Calum is still in there, hes just trying to cope with all this new information hes recieving, most greenseers of old were born with this extra sense or acquired it quite early. i wouldn't be surprised if calum would come around by the end of this year." he says "I would like to know more about your family though Lord Strongcock and Lady Karyn, maybe something in your past could've caused this to happen."

rolled 29 = 29

>>16598634
Give him access to research our lineage. Tell Herla to give him our books. Tell him that the Starks have a much bigger library and they are only up the road if he needs to check out more shit on Greenseers.

rolled 50 = 50

>>16598634

Have Maester Herla bring down the books and scrolls of both Skylar and Karyn's families. Anything we have that can help Marwyn find a way to help Calum is at his fingertips.

>>16598634

"Enough of this talk of greenseers and everything for the moment." your wife says, "Breakfest is almost ready we got my moose sausages almost ready along with bacon, fruit and griddle cakes. Maester Merwyn eat all you can, i won't let my guests starve on my watch." she says with an indignant look in her eye.

over the course of breakfest Merwyn talks about his various travels across Westeros and beyond the Free Cities, he talked of Atraphor, of the slave cities, and of the Dothraki and their nomadic ways.

"now, if you'll excuse me" he says standing up from the table, "I need to go see how Calum is doing."

"I must go see to the burial of the men in the last battle." you say standing up also

you get an approving look from Merwyn "its always good to show your enemies respect, you never know when it will come back for you

>>16598722

"also before i leave, Herla, grab Maester Merwyn the tomes he requires, anything to help Calum would be of our best interest.

rolled 82 = 82

>>16598722

Invite Maester Merwyn to join us once he is finished checking up on Calum, perhaps he would like to say a few words for them?

"Also Merwyn, it would be an honor if you could say a few words at the burial for the men." you ask

he thinks a moment "very well, i will come say a few words

you finish burying the dead just as Maester Merwyn appears he approaches the grave site

"I Did not know these men, but Lord Skylar deemed them honorable enough to be buried, so i will say a few words on their behalf. These men were brave warriors and fathers, they didn't shrik when death looked them in the eye , may they find peace wherever they go."

and with that everyone stands there in a reverent manner until Merwyn leaves, and then follows suits

rolled 44 = 44

>>16598894

Well, we know that these men were Braavosi and were hired by some red-haired man with a scar over his eye, let's send a letter to Ian and his wife and see if either of them know this person.

Pay day YAY

Did we ever find the letter our informant at the wall asked us to find and send to his family?

>>16599007

yeah you mailed it, i think captcha ate saying you did though

rolled 3 = 3

>>16598977
we should ask the Archmaester what he knows of Braavosi mercenaries / crime syndicates, and if he's heard of any Braavosi with a scar over his eye. He may know considering his vast travels.

rolled 54 = 54

>>16599044

ROLLIN'!

"Dear Lord Skylar,

Thank you for telling me of my husband's demise, i thank you for employing him and the five gold dragons you sent us, the children won't go hungry for a while

Elaine Slin"

"hmm... there isn't any crime syndicates that i know of, but if he is a Ser, he might be a hedge knight, working for some land and honor under a lord."

rolled 65 = 65

>>16599071
Archmaester, have you ever heard of House Color?

>>16599109

"sadly, i do not" he replies "it sounds like a bastard name, like Snow or Sand. But i have never heard of it, it is most interesting... maybe its a name he took upon himself."

well looks like everyone went to bed
