On the least thread, you began a war with the city of Tyrosh. Surprisingly, Hellenic ships are no match for a steam powered ship of the line armed with 80 cannons firing explosive shells.
After having Quartered their fleet, their esteemed Grand Admiral Adaros came to you with a deal.
Help Tyrosh to fuck up Myr and he will make sure that the Magisters will pay you handsomely.

Naturally, you agreed.
Myr was in possession of Westerosi slaves as well and thus free game and you had the ammunition to go fuck them up, also this could help foster some goodwill with the Tyroshi after you shat on their porridge.
As agreed upon, you disabled the harbor of a Myrish island fortress by sinking all the ships they had docked before beginning an embargo upon the City of Myr. Unlike the Tyroshi, they weren't planning on underestimating you.

They brought to bear over twice their number, a six hundred ships, third of which were mercenaries. Their idea of dealing with you was intending on intimidating you to work for them instead. This naturally didn't work out too well for them considering your previous success.
As the Mercenaries broke ranks and fled under the hail of explosive shells, the Myrish gave up, not wanting to sacrifice the lives of their citizens to the meatgrinder nor wanting you to continue to embargo their port.

Following this, you declared war upon Lys as well just because, since hey, the two other ones fell easily, why not a third one? Unfortunately, they weren't exactly up for a fight.
They instead offered to pay to make you go away.
Considering there was little sport in shooting an enemy that wouldn't fight back, you took their lunch money and started heading back west, counting your plunder to be worth 500 000 Gold Dragons and whatever the two Valyrian Steel blades you possessed were worth.

After splitting the plunder with Jorah Mormont, you set sail to King's Landing and were greeted by a vast crowds of people gathering at the shores to have a glimpse of your quite unusual looking ship.
As landed, it was revealed that your presence was requested at the Red Keep. The Hand of the King, Jon Arryn wanted a word with you.

After a private chat, he offered you a deal. Your landless brother Rickar would receive a landed title and you show your support to Robert Baratheon publicly, levying your fame to give legitimacy to his cause. Seeing that you didn't exactly give a damn about the Targs or loyalists, you accepted.

>I got non-compete

[ 1 ]

"I'm afraid I kinda made a deal with the Manderlys which prevents me from competing with him on ship production. If you want some of the ships I've designed, you will have to talk to him. You see, the Hammer of the Waters wasn't exactly cheap and I needed a lot of money for all the Iron I was going to cast."
He shakes his head in disappointment
"I see. That is indeed a shame, but Wyman Manderly is a loyal servant of the realm, he could be convinced to tear up such contract if I were to request it."
"He could, but I don't think that'd be very honorable on my part. If it's all the same to you, we could put my brother as a landed Knight under Stannis on some of the Dragonstone's domains. Maybe an island if you've got one of those to give. I'll make sure he's got some guns and powder around in case the Royal Fleet needs to throw some lead in the air."
He observes you for a moment before nodding
"Very well Lord Tallon. That sounds like a reasonable enough course of action."
You nod in agreement
"Naturally, this hinges on my brother actually accepting the title, but I see no reason as to why he'd say no."
The two of you shake hands
"Then you should go tell him. I'll let the small council know of the coming faire, in the meantime. I trust you will send message to your lands and tell them to ship such goods which would be necessary for the coming occasion. Invite your friends and family as well."
"I'll go do that then. Have a good day Lord Arryn."
You close the door behind you as you leave

Two Months you would be spending, preparing for the faire. The Tallons of Reach, now a guest of the Royal family had naturally arrived to celebrate this... unusual occasion. Only your older brother was left behind to manage the holdings as it was considered dangerous for too many of the dynasty to travel at once.
Your mother, your sister (along with her husband) and your father had all arrived to bear witness to your return.


"Is it true? Did you really?"
Your father asks
"Defeat a damn near thousand ships with but a one and return with half a million in gold, silks, perfume, rugs, tapestries and anything of worth a damn that the Free Cities produce, paired with forcing them to acknowledge freedom as a Westerosi birthright? Yes, yes we did."
Rickar puffs out his chest as he responds
"How? How is that even possible?"
Your mother asks
"Ask Arthur, he's the one who made the monster of a ship."
He points to you
"I mentioned before, the Long Night was a courier ship, not a full on warship. The Hammer of the Waters on the other hands, is a Warship."

Rickar then begins to excitedly talk of his part in the wars
"Oh, you should have seen it father, a horizon filled with ships, the wailing of the siren echoing through the air interrupted only by the thunder of guns and the steady thrumming of the ship's fiery heart, the screeching of missiles in the air and the creaking of wood when the prows of enemy ships blossomed into shrapnel and smoke, eating in water like a force fed swan one after another as we tore apart fleet after fleet and finally, when the enemy commander saw defeat, that horizon of ships struck their colors in unison."
He closes his eyes and draws a deep breath
"We turned down the siren just to hear the sound of their retreat horns. It was the most glorious sight I've seen in my life. Foe shattered, utterly and completely before our righteous crusade."
You clap your hands
"Oh, that reminds me! Since you're technically an officer, you're also getting a full officer's share from the plunder. What was it again 1600 or so? 1607 Gold dragons? Something like that. Anyway, that'll come in use when the King's gonna give you a landed title."
"Excuse me?"
"Yea, so basically that's what the hand wanted to talk to me about when we arrived."
"What."
"Essentially, I'll throw this party in honor of King Robert Baratheon because he's such a good bloke and use my newfound fame to help solidify his claim. He then gets Rickar his own Island in Blackwater Bay and anoints him as a landed Knight in service to Prince Stannis. Naturally you need to actually say yes for this to happen, but either way, I'm still down to throwing this Faire whichever way the wind blows. I can afford it."
"And you couldn't have told me this before?"
"It never really came up until now. Besides, I kinda wanted you to have some people to ask advice from before committing to anything."
"You couldn't mention this in a letter?"
Your mother asks
"Well, I couldn't think of any eunuch jokes and I didn't want to disappoint Lord Varys when he'd eventually read through my letters."
"Very funny Arthur. But regardless, this is a good thing for us and for you Rickar. After this stupid stunt Arthur dragged you through"
She gives you a glare
"...and the landed title in Crownlands, there should be little problem with finding you a beautiful wife from a good family, and Arthur..."
"Yes?"
"Thanks your bout of insanity, I now have to cancel all the marriage meetings I had planned for you. Don't think we won't be talking about this later. Preferably where we won't be listened in."

"Right, so Red Keep is out of the window then, Maegor's tunnels are very well still in use and it's safe to assume every servant's taking tips from at least one other person in this place."
She shakes her head and sighs
"OH! You know how Lannisters don't have any Valyrian Steel weapons of their own despite being a massive house with ton of money and prestige and all that?"
"You didn't..."
"OH YES I DID! HAHAAA!"
You pull out your sword and dagger
"Two-prefall blades made around the time of the fall of Ghis."
"Can I...?"
Your father asks
"Sure, have a swing, that's what they're made for."
He gives it a swing
"It's lighter than normal steel blade of same size."
"It actually isn't. I weighed it, got it's volume and calculated it's density. It's actually more or less similar density to steel, but when you actually take it to your hand, that doesn't at all feel like it is. There's some fuckery going on about them blades."
He raises his eyebrow and gives the sword another another swing
"Mysteries of Valyrian spellforging. Well, nevertheless it is a sword fit for a king. You should hold on to it."
"Oh I do intend to. It is not every day one has a chance to study such a strange item."
He hands it over for the rest of the family to look at before return it back to you

"Can we see inside your ship?"
Ayenna asks
"I don't see why not. Somebody's spies likely have already had a gander, but it's not like that matters. The Smiths and shipwrights in this city are shite, and I doubt that even the Citadel would have difficulties with replicating my works."
"I think you've just got unrealistic standards."
"Well, I think the craftsmen in this city tend to have little to no standards, but whatever, I'll give you a tour."

>>
>>3555750
any price range things?
>>
>>3555764
Unfortunately, a triumph can only be held in the capital as it is based in the roman ceremony. Basically anyone holding a roman military position was not really allowed to enter the borders of Rome, except during triumph or by forfeiting their position.

And is our treasure calculated with out brothers share removed?
>>
Grand tournament takes like 10 Wealth to sponsor + 5 wealth for every contest prize

Regional tournament takes like 5 wealth + 2 wealth for each contest

local ones are like 2 wealth + 2 for each contest

1 Wealth is still 200G

So basically, going 5000G means 25 wealth on festivities, makes it a pretty huge affair with like beer fountains, flower petals and fireworks and shit.
You can have a marching band too with that money.
>>
>>3555755
changing to 5k
>>
Should be noted that because this is KL, you obviously can't handle everyone at once with like 5k, but it's still a 1 050 000 silver stag budget, which does still get you a lot of stuff.

>>3555991
Bobby B will be with us in the carriage if we throw the Triumph, apparently. With the royal carriage, no less. Remember, this is as much for them as it is for us, since they want to show the rest of the lords (especially Dorne and other TargLoyalists) that the Tallons are with the Crown. This is 100% for publicity.

it also increases time if it is a more complex affair.
so if we can have all the admin stuff done by somone else
we can go full grind marksmanship at the target range to try and get marksmanship 5 so we can enter our shooting competition, win and then let the runner ups have the prizes as if we were not involved, so we can get even more prestige, honor and glory, in being the best shot around.
>>
>>3556032
The Crown is already doing its part by arranging security for the madness that is about to be unleashed, as well as connecting us with the appropriate vendors. Unless you would like to split the security duties 50-50 as well?
>>
>>3556040
Yeah if we're gonna do a marksmanship contest, I'm open to spending the time productively (while foisting the party arrangement to Robert's Party Minister). Just need to specify what we want, hand in the cash, and then let the professionals make magic.

The marksmanship competition can also show off the power of gunpowder weapons.
>>
>>3556050
We need 5 times the amount of beer to drown the city
Also is the party a single day or multiple days
On activities: beer drinking, food competition , dance , marksmanship with a bow and a rifle , getting hammered, whoring, dueling with wooden swords , fireworks
Open to ideas
>>
>>3556057
Multiple days with 10k, I think? It'll be a big occasion. Remember, 10k gold is like 50 Wealth and Grand Tournaments are 10 Wealth to sponsor (prize is additional fee). That might help think about the scale of it all.

You don't exactly have red in your heraldry, so it's a bit weird in that sense.

However, rifle regiments often wore green and there's also Russian uniforms which also were often green and had double headed eagle as well.

Ultimately, you can pick the redcoat uniform as well and recolor it if you like too, but it won't be very red.

Supporting the Sharpe Style if it's just for us. Our subordinates can wear tech priest garbs.

Also I was looking back in the old threads trying to find precisely what our Commissar's uniform looked like, just to see if that'd help settle our discussion by reminding people (link below), when I re-read the options for when we were first constructing the LN and were providing our specifications.

We went for the largest option, however the next one down was described as being more suited for cargo thanks to it's reduced complement of guns (20 -> 16) and crew. This interests me and I think we'd be wise to develop it or it's like, a more cargo focused version of our light ship. I'd also be interested in developing the lightest of the three sizes of the ship that were on offer, a 12 gunner that was the fastest of the lot but carried little cargo or crew.

Fact is in this life or our next life, we could make a killing selling these designs to a shipyard owner or producing them ourselves. Plus they'll be good experience in refining our shipbuilding skills for if we ever attempt to improve our existing designs. Not to mention they might be good as a dowry for Manderly.


http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2342456/thumbs/1520518353694.jpg <- The image OP used in his post where we got the uniform, it'd honestly work fine for this parade if we changed the red and blue to green (assuming that is what our troops will be wearing).
>>
>>3557566
You wouldn't have used red and black, just saying. Them's Targaryen colours.
>>
Also, big issue selling those designs in next life is that the value of a product us how much the buyer is willing to pay for it.

These designs are way ahead of their time and only are taken seriously because of the track record they have and because you are a defacto Maester.

In a timeline where that isn't the case, the paper itself is worth more than the designs.
>>
>>3557577
Could we make Maximilian plate armor, or late gothic plate armor? That stuff is definitely more advanced, protective, and flexible than anything available in westeros.
>>
>>3557607
You can make such a suit, but meticulously tailored armor like that exists in my Westeros, but it is fabulously expensive, which is why they are rarely made.

It is entirely within possibility for the best smiths to manufacture a suit of plate that is utterly impervious to arrow fire and has no gaps large enough for the arrows to exploit, save in the eyeslits without hindering the wearer's ability to move around much.
>>
>>3557569
Fair enough I was just going by the image. Personally I'd use a golden sash instead of green but still I've got little investment in our personal appearance since I kinda want to dress up like a byzantine noble or something.

>>3557577
>Also, big issue selling those designs in next life is that the value of a product us how much the buyer is willing to pay for it.
Yeah I get that a large portion of their value comes from our reputation and education but to be fair, I'd imagine we'll find a way to get our chain in almost every life now we're as educated as we are.

Still though, they'd be very profitable to produce or sell on as a design. Fact is the lightest of those models would be a far more reasonable cost for a lord to invest in a single ship than our larger designs given the cannons and shit.

True but we can just take more exams. Admittedly it costs money to do so but not a unreasonable amount assuming we make some smart plays.

Yeah I know, they have a faulty eugenicist world view.

Do we have the knowledge to smith a kentucky rifle style firearm? We can always apprentice to a smith, bide our time til we’re alone in the shop, and build a proof of concept to blow some holes in plate armor with at 100+ meters. That would probably get us some credibility relatively fast.

Looks like you are gonna be going for a pretty big party.
Lot of people will be showing up for this one.

In fact, since they're so many people showing up, it's actually within reason for you to make deals with a lot of them in order to convert your plunder to tangible assets.

The whole shopping trip might even end up being unnecessary.

It might be kinda a lot of armor for everyone but if we do intend to knight the ship officers it might be wise to give them outfits to separate them from the common shiphands.
>>
We seriously gotta invent the Bessemer process for steelmaking. If you use it without knowing what you’re doing, the steel will be of extremely poor quality, which makes industrial espionage nearly impossible and would set us up to control the military economy of the seven kingdoms and beyond.
>>
>>3558864
There's a reason /tg/ was said to also stand for /totally gay/ and this isn't the reason.

On the point of our troops, I've been wanting to make our infantry / musketmen a nicely standardised mix of plate and mail along the lines of >>3558930's image. I'd argue our troops should probably have a higher collar on the curiass or some chainmail over the neck and some protection for their upper leg but overall it looks good.

I also keep second guessing if we should give our musketmen any melee weapons and shields or just give them a bayonet / entrenching tools.

>>3559008
Yep. Especially in combination with industrial metalworking tools to enable good armour or weapon production.
>>
>>3559015
Probably unnecessary. You could do things like equip them with wheeled pavise shields or pair them with units of pikemen, but odds are the soldiers superior firepower will deal with anything before they become a problem. And if firepower isn't enough the addition of trenches and other field fortifications would make up the difference.
>>
>>3558917
That is insanely cool, no way in hell we could get even one of those ready on time but still I love the look. Speaking of which, since we don't need to manage our keep on a daily basis due to our small council of well educated maesters, we should really take some time on the side to make some really good personal armor. Mostly just to have it, but on the off chance we do end up at war on land, having some masterwork armor we personally made would always be handy. Don't get me wrong, I like our comissar outfit but that's really for sailing and the meme of it. It doesn't beat a great set of armor.
>>
We should visit Dragonstone and be the most awesome uncle to Shireen. Give her hugs and large caliber firearms, like a proper american child.
>>
>>3559192
I mean it doesn't seem to be that hard to build; just a helmet, pauldrons, some kind of neck armor, padded armor, chain mail, and some nice fabrics to cover the whole thing. I think it could easily be made in a month.
The important thing is to look professional.
>>
>>3559203
Come to think of it we can even make sure she doesn't catch greyscale.

>>3559192
It's much more important to hire a bunch of tutors and experiments in order to prepare ourselves for our next life. I would personally suggest a trapmaker since when we are too young to hunt for food yet that doesn't mean we cannot set up some traps to catch some. Not to mention survival skills.

We also need to start putting plans into place for the War of Five Kings and nightwalkers. Dany isn't something to worry about since she's dumb and crazy. We are obviously going to want to keep Ned alive in order to stop his kids from doing dumbshit and create an alliance with Stannis. Remember we can only really predict the start of the war simply because once we take action it's going to go off the rails.
>>
>>3559266
I think she still got Greyscale, it was just drastically reduced to a bit under her eye.
>>
>>3559266
>he wants to let the 5k happen
Or we could just catch Bran as he falls out of a window and solve the main plot instantly as Cersei and Jaime are caught and Tywin becomes so angry he self-destructs.
>>
>>3559177
True but my worry is that they might get taken out of position or have to fight in bad weather (where our muskets are fucked) in which case having even a buckler would greatly improve their odds.

>>3559192
Agreed. Admittedly our Commissar's outfit does have a very good breastplate but it's hardly a complete suit of proofed plate.

>>3559203
Nah, music boxes and highly articulated dolls. Maybe some tin soldiers or something.

>>3559266
>>3559271
Yeah the current plan is to prevent the war of the five kings by discrediting Cersei and her children, leaving only Stannis and the other brother, Renly, I think his name was?

In theory if this worked, we'd at worst have a war between those two and it would quickly resolve itself given Stannis's superior claim and likely greater support.
>>
>>3559334
What happens if our actions to date have butterfly-ed away Big Bob's hunting accident & he lives to a ripe, old, age?

How would he respond to the encroaching army of the dead, or Dany & her magically re-spawning armies & dragons of wildly inconsistent effectiveness?
>>
>>3559483
It's based on the books anon.
For the last fockin time.
Dany can be removed from being a threat very early on by just capturing her and Viserys, forcing them to sign a document revoking their and their descendents claim to the throne (and shooting Viserys when he sperges)
Then we can give Dany a bag of gold and tell her to fuck off to her lemon tree house.
The Whitewalkers will be a far bigger threat in books but without dragons they have no way past the wall and we will have equipped the NW with counters to them anyway.
>>
>>3559483
>How would he respond to the encroaching army of the dead
If he is made aware, if he doesn't dismiss it and if he hasn't bankrupted the realm by the time that the dead start marching, he'd rally a strong force and probably win but the issue more so lies in the general disbelief in their existence in westeros. Without solid proof, he has more pressing concerns: 7 kingdoms, 1 king and all that.

>Dany & her magically re-spawning armies & dragons of wildly inconsistent effectiveness?
Probably assassination. I mean he'd almost certainly eliminate her because she's the last remaining person in the world who has a legitimate claim to the throne (that he knows of) so her death seals his families rule.

>>3559506
>they have no way past the wall
Assuming the Horn of winter isn't actually a thing and a few other possibilities, yes.
>>
>>3559483
I think that its a real possibility that we will invade the summer isle on behalf of Jalabhar Xho so that is going to turn the story tits up if it ever happens.
The plus side is we will get real goddamn rich if we can field key ships to the royal navy.
>>
>>3559015
So like a half plate or something similar to this for armor?
>>
>>3559576
Aye that seems about right. Solid protection over the vital organs, neck and head along with enough protection over the limbs to stop stray blows from cutting deep.

Honestly, I have half a mind to see if we can arrange a dinner with Varys and offer to share information gathered by his little birds and our eagles. Telling him the information gathered by our eagles often isn't as specific as those gathered by the little birds, the caveat being that our Eagles don't actually exist.
I'm just worried about sending him into full paranoid mode and him trying to murder us or something.

>>3560046
It would. To be honest though, she's like third on my priority to kill list. I'd rather not have Stannis turn into an Asshai puppet.

>>3560046
Oh man, I just realized. Our guns might be considered the Lightbringer. Our sword that emits heat and light when we wield it.

Well we did just declare for Robert and Varys is a loyalist, that will almost certainly become a problem at some point.

We could always tell him we're aware that Aegon is alive and we have no designs to expose him. That and he should have already heard our opinions on Gregore Clebane and what he did to Rhaenys and Elia.

> 2 100 000 silver stag budget

[ 1/2 ]

"I hear the men in your house are quite something, storming the free cities and besting Robert at Ashford."
Cersei says as she addresses your mother
"Thank you for your compliments my Queen."
She replies whilst giving a curtsy and Cersei gives her a smug smile.
"Prince Joffrey has been quite looking forward to meeting your son, you know. Come, sit and we'll talk of pleasant things while our boys talk of swords and war."

Yes, this is apparently a thing now. As the menials scurried in their labors, sending word of the coming event and constructing the faire grounds, things happened.
You and most your family, were dragged into a garden dinner party with the royals. Most unexpected thing about it was that most of the Royal family was in attendance.
Stannis, Renly, Robert, Cersei and her children along with the Kingsguard. How this had happened, you had no idea, but just about everyone in attendance wanted a word or two with you.

"Is it true you defeated the free cities with just one ship?"
Joffrey asks
"Only two of them, the Lyseni gave up without a fight."
"Quiet boy. How many ships did they have?"
Robert speaks out
"In Tyrosh they brought out a professional fleet of about 300 or so warships to face me, in Myr, they had 600 or 700 ships formed of mercenaries, militia and their standing navy naturally. They could have pulled easily over a thousand strong fleet each, but majority of those ships do belong to the trade princes who don't much care for losing ships."
"I'd very much like to hear how exactly did you pull off that miracle against such odds."
Stannis speaks out
"The Tactics that I used? If you consider the standard war galley everyone has been using since time immemorial as the naval equivalent of a phalanx of disciplined spearmen, then the answer is simple enough how to counter it.
You simply need to create a ship that is the equivalent of the horse archer. That's how the Dothraki spread across Essos."
"Single horse archer will take a long time to go through 600 spearmen."
Robert replies
"Ah, but what if you had 80 horse archers, how would you consider the chances in that fight then?"
He nods
"Winnable. Very much winnable. I'll want to see your new ship and I'll know how does it exactly achieve what you claim."
"I will come as well!"
Joffrey states
"I think we ALL want to see the ship that did the impossible."
Renly states
You shrug
"We'll do when we get to it I suppose. Just say the word and I'll give you the tour, though I should warn you that it does indeed smell like crusty seamen and the more... unusual features of the vessel might take a while to explain."
"Unusual features?"
Rickar speaks out
"He is referring to the iron heart of the ship that turns fire to life my King."
"The Fuck is he on about?"
"Basically I set a bonfire under the ship's deck and it sails against the the winds and waves as it pleases."

"I'll have to see it to believe it."
"Like I said my King, whenever you want the tour, we'll make it happen."
"Good. Come, walk with me while they grill the meat. Rest of you lot, don't bother us."

He takes you out for a walk in the quiet, shady part of the Garden and lowers his voice as he addresses you.
"Jon Arryn speaks well of you, but cautions me against trusting you."
"That is well with me my king, I loathe responsibility."
"HAH!"
He smacks you in the back
"Seven hells, I wish could have been there. Haven't had a proper fight in years. Since when can you just drop your duties as a Lord and go on adventuring without your King?"
You shrug
"I don't think there ever was a law against it my King."
He scoffs
"Well now there is! Next time you attack Essos, you better invite me to come along first."
"You'll have my word on it."
You say as you smirk
"So! Tell me of your lands Tallon. What's it like in the North? Is Ned still as stuck up as always?"
"Lord Eddard is as he always has been. Honorable and devoted to his duties and family. And as to my lands? Oh, it's everything I hoped. Plenty of space, nobody there to complain when you start distilling booze and there's very little political fuckery.
Being a boglord is actually pretty damn peaceful, provided you can keep the outlaws at bay. Nobody asking you stupid shit or trying to push you off your lands."
He scoffs
"No money grubbers, plenty of hunting, drinking and northern girls to fuck. Are you trying to make your King jealous or something?"
"Did I mention I'm not married yet either?"
He punches you in the arm in response
"You watch your tongue there Lord Tallon or I'll make sure you too will know what's it like to be married to a Lannister."
He smells the air for a bit
"Smells like the food's done. We'll continue this another time."

Royalty and family, in that order. Stannis and Robert are the priority (lightly talking shop but mostly trying to establish a good rapport / understanding) but we can hardly neglect anyone else since that could be seen as slight against them (looking at you Joffrey / Cersei). Also, seeing as the kingsguard is in attendance, talk to them a little but only when it fits into the conversation except in the case of Barristan Selmy who is a god damn badass and madlad.

I know we're on a "Fuck the Lannisters" train (Mountain pls go and stay go) but even dishonoured, Jaime is a very VERY good fighter, with aspirations for nobility and "doing the right things". I blame his corruption mostly on Cersei, since he's not... very bright, to put it nicely. Also daddy issues, but doesn't everyone in ASOIAF have that, more or less?

We're just saying he's a good boy for the possibility of something nice down the road. That's not a huge cost even if nothing comes out of it.
>>
>>3560183
Agreed. The man is just in a very awkward place (demanding family, need for praise from his father, wants to be a noble person, loves his sister, etc) that means no matter what he does or doesn't do, some part of him is disappointed.

Also it's not even that we're team "Fuck Lannisters", it's just we know that they are the linchpin in so much bullshit that they've (specifically his father and sister, everyone else is fine) got to go. It's nothing personal, just business.
>>
>>3560187
>Nothing personnel
Precisely. I mean there are what, a hundred Lannisters from main and offshoot branches? Tyrion is a pretty jolly fellow as well, so clearly it's not all Lannisters who are shits. I have a soft spot for Tywin but you really cannot support him knowing that the next generation is FUBAR with Cersei at the helm and Jaime cut off from being able to lead the House as a Kingsguard, and Tyrion more or less blacklisted.

Lannisters are fucked harder than the Tarlys are in terms of succession crisis. Theirs is a tenuous house of cards that requires an able statesman, but there just isn't anyone in the line of inheritance aside from the Imp.
>>
Just had a funny thought of Jaime breaking down in tears while talking to us and everyone else going "wtf" at us making the Kingsguard cry
>>
>>3560133
Can we be a good role model to joffery? Or is he too far gone.

As for my vote maybe Jaime
>>
>>3560188
>I have a soft spot for Tywin
Honestly me too. I respect the man for much the same reasons I respect Stannis, difference is Stannis is more honourable in his dealings and Tywin is honestly a bit too emotional / fucked as a father.
>>
>>3560166
>Robert

>Stannis
Does not require kowtowing. The only time he summons men is when he needs to discuss matters, not exchange pleasantries. No.

A shit, but in all honesty I would prefer we don't bother with this guy. He's like a giant dumpling without any meat inside, making it a disappointing lump of bready mass. NO.

>Kingsguard aside from Jaime

Talk to Joffrey as well, he's clearly excited about us and we can humour his brattiness.

Is Littlefinger here?

>Already spoke with him, no
Fair enough but we should still engage in polite conversation and shit.

>The only time he summons men is when he needs to discuss matters, not exchange pleasantries.
Then you must question why he is here, if not to speak with us. If he wanted to speak with any member of the royals, he'd have a far better time when we weren't here.

>A shit, but in all honesty I would prefer we don't bother with this guy. He's like a giant dumpling without any meat inside, making it a disappointing lump of bready mass. NO.
Agreed.

>Who was it that talked to us in private during Harrenhall Tournament? Might be good to say hi and exchange pleasantries, remark on how time passed, etc.
Oh shit, I forgot about him. Yeah we should talk to him.

>Is Tommen born at this point? He's a good kid despite being incestfruit.
No idea, he'd probably be a bit too young for any real conversation mind you if he was.

>Talk to Joffrey as well, he's clearly excited about us and we can humour his brattiness.
Agreed. At the very least we've got enough interesting tales to keep him entertained.

>Seriously, if Tywin had a normal childhood instead of Frey-tier father (Except with none of the competence...) he could have been good.
Yeah, he's got the intellect and the will but lacks the conscience and restraint.
>>
>>3560200
>Stannis
We are already more or less in regular contact with him, because he buys gunpowder from us. Also there is a time and place for more technical (read: naval) discussion once we are on board and away from the Red Keep.

Remember, anons, that this is the playground of Varys. There is a limit to how much we should reveal our hand. That guy has the entirety of the Keep bugged. Our ship is a relatively safe place, since it doesn't have Maegor's hidden tunnels built within. For this reason, I am against talking with Stannis in any significant topic.

I assume we would do the polite necessities like replying to how-do-you-do's instead of breezing by like some autistic savant.
>>
P.S. Try not to engage with Cersei. There are only two outcomes when talking with her. Either:

- She thinks you're beneath her. She smugs all over you. Your prestige takes a hit.

- She thinks you're above her. She becomes paranoid. Unlike her calmer father, the mad queen is very, very shortsighted and is very much capable of doing extremely stupid things. Let's not get tangled with that snake.

>>3560202
Fair enough. I do agree we must be careful what we say but I doubt we're going to reveal much of anything that Varys wouldn't already have had a chance to pickup from his network.

We are in a prime position to expand both our operations AND our clientelle for when Bobby B unfortunately passes and the whole of the Seven Kingdoms has to arm themselves. Plus I wanna be friends with Renly, he's a bro. I advise against talking to Littlefinger, son of a bitch would send spies all the way up North to try and steal trade secrets. Fuck him.

You mever know man. Even if it's not we can still talk him into creating a standing army, armed with OUR weapons. Imagine the sort of dosh the seven kingdoms would be rolling in if everyone has a soldiers salary, as well as their regular salaries. Plus all the money needed to RUN a standing army, you need food and clothing and all sorts of stuff, money that eventually finds its way back to us.

You know what we need though? Some counter intelligence to make sure niggas like Varys and Littlefinger don't try and spy on us. Varys I have a feeling will come to us in time but Littlefinger looks like one of those niggas who could be competition.

We can't afford compitition.

Well yeah we're a pragmatic opportunist but we're not an asshole. We detest barbarism, and our whole deal wether we knew it or not has been that our rising tide lifts all boats. Our raid on the cities has pretty much elevated anyone associated with us to great status, with Dan and Bodrin possibly becoming our Bannermen! Joffrey's heir apparent, so I figure it better to leave him with good morals than leave him with Bobby B as his lone role model. To do as we say rather than as we do.

As for Renly, I admit I may be getting ahead of myself. Still though, I don't like the way he went to Millisandra's yeast infection, hence why I wanna be friends with the dude.

Ok, SURE the whole point of it all was for the money, but we did free a bunch of slaves, broke apart any slave rings in westeros, and humbled a couple free cities that genuinely deserved it. I mean Robin Hood is a thief but nobody gives him shit for it because all of his marks are rich and he gives up some of his loot to the poor, we basically did that with a ship.

What Joffers needs is the capacity for empathy. Without that we can bukkake him with improving morals all day long & it'll amount to nothing.

Bearing in mind that sociopathy/psychopathy are at least partially genetic there may not be anything we can do to improve him. The best bet might be to wait untill someone else inevitably kills him off for being a 'ruthless idiot', and focus on helping what's-his-face with the pet cat (the one who took the name King's Landing a bit too literally); he seemed nice.

Pragmatism would work better.
"Always know that people will do what best benefits them in one shape or another. Money, power, favor of the gods, love, keeping the position they have because they are content, whatever. Show them a way to achieve it, whilst benefiting yourself as well and they will do it. Its how all societies work no matter what shape they take.
All else are just words. Keep this in mind and you wont make a shit king. If you are not a shit king, just one or two memorable things that benefit enough people and history remembers you as a good king."

Talking to both of them on what kind of new ship design would be best and what kind of guns would be best for the seven kingdoms might be a good idea as we will be selling them like hot cakes to anyone who can buy them, and giving them a idea that while it would be improper to refuse customers, orders being completed on a first come first served basis would effectively occupy our production with quite the backlog.
Prohibiting our sales or them from buying will just end up with a third party sale and higher prices anyway, and more bad blood, but if they have to wait in line for a couple of years or more while we finish the production for our own lands, and then all the other customers who have placed orders before them...
That is another thing.

Might want to talk with them about pike and shot like tercios or japanese pike and shot, as with the price the guns have, full line formations are going to be viable only for ludicrously rich fuckers.

How about we just minimize our interactions with shitty people period? Including Joffrey, Cersei, Jaime, Stannis, Renly, Bobby B, Jon Arryn, Varys, and Baelish. Just be social and polite enough to be left alone so we can get back to what's important. Science. It's not like we need anything from these people. We don't need a stable Westeros. We don't need to be an influence on Joffrey. We don't need to prevent the war of five kings. We just need science.

I don't know man, Bobby B is a decent dude to talk to but is kind of asshole. I mean, he did basically start a war over a girl who didn't even really like him, then spent the rest of his life drunk and using up the kingdom's coffers to party.
>>
>>3561274
>he did basically start a war over a girl who didn't even really like him
Fucking show targfag.
First, it didn't really matter whether or not the two liked each other, the two were betrothed, you don't just do what Rhaegar did.
Second off, I really doubt that Lyanna liked Rhaegar all too much after he kept her locked in a tower and refused to let her leave
Third AND THIS IS A BIG ONE, the Mad King literally burned the Lord Paramount of the North and his heir to death with wildfire.
>>
>>3561283
Bobby B is also a drunk who beats his wife, is obsessed with some dead bitch, and neglects his kids, one of which is a burdening psycho and set to take the throne after him.
>>
>>3561274
>he did basically start a war over a girl who didn't even really like him
Well, he did believe she'd been abducted to prince Rheagar's personal rape dungeon against her will. Plus the first guy to complain about said believed abduction was sued as bait to lure his dad in & they were then both burned alive. Also, the king was making demands for yet more innocent people to be turned over for the royal roast.

All things considered, I think big Bob was more than justified in actualising a regime change.

Also; you'd drink, too, if you were married to Cersei.
>>
>>3561283
>>3561283
>>3561283
Forgot to mention Rhaegar was married and had children, that he left to his Insane father as hostages to blackmail his in-laws into fighting so that he can cheat on her.
Also, I think lyanna was 14 at the time
>>
Rhaegar and Bobby B are both shit. Fuck those guys, fuck politics, fuck The Game, fuck the snake pit known as Kangz Landing, just use our resources for self improvement and science.
>>
I wonder if Pycelle has some rare book on healing lying around.
>>
>>3561305
Shut up nigger.
Bobby B is great. He drinks to dull the pain and there's literally nothing that he wants to do in King's Landing and Westeros can't declare war on anyone which is what Bobby B does best at.
Well, they couldn't until now at least.
Now they'll soon have the means to take on the Summer Islands if they want to.
>>
>>3561317
If you think Bobby B is so great why don’t you suck his cock?

>>
Christ I go to sleep and return to discussion deteriorating like we're trying to decide how we dress again.

>>3560328
We killed a couple thousand to save just as many if not more. Plus we proved we weren't in it from bloodlust or greed when we accepted the offers of surrender rather than pushing for more death / ransom.

>>3560381
Agreed, we at least need some counter-spy stuff to exist in our lands and prevent sabotage of our shit.

>>3560467
>Yea, way to be a hypocrite. This life has entirely been pragmatism, secrets, lies, violence and pursuit of profit.
Yeah but we could've gotten way more by acting immorally. We could have ignored what the mountain did or demanded a share of his loot to look the other way for example or we could be planning to break our deal with Manderly (I mean, we've considered it and I am curious if, if we marry into his family, he might consider allowing us to produce them too).

Plus it's not pragmatic actions of ours haven't lead to good outcomes for our people. We wish to learn to heal, we end up healing our people, we become wealthy and famous from these crusades, so too do our crews and their families, we wish to make our family more powerful, so we inform our brother of where to be to survive a losing war yet come out better off. Our printing press, a thing we made purely for profit? Ends up being used to produce books and potentially one day will be far more wide-spread given they know how to make the letterblocks and shit.

>>3560794
Honestly yeah. If nothing else we should probably start publishing some of our less insane / important breakthroughs to spread our knowledge and help create a basis for a scientific Westeros.

>>3560968
Eventually anon. Probably once we've industrialised our economy and need massive amounts of workers to fill in the gaps but at the same time need a way to distract and absorb all those people who we just destroyed the traditional jobs of.

>>3560982
Oh shit yeah, we should probably ask about getting a few blocks delivered to our castle.

>>3561210
That'd probably be for the best. If nothing else we should avoid Cersei.

>>3561554
True, I also wanted to see if we couldn't get permission off of the king to borrow one of his King's guard to give us some pointers for a month or two, while we wait for the festival to be ready.

Anon, two wrongs don't make a right. The targs were crazy sisterfuckers with a massive hard on for their long dead dragons and magic, Bobby Baratheon is an abusive alcoholic who couldn't actually be bothered to run his own kingdom. They all suck, except Stannis pre-lightbringer I guess.
>>
Don't about y'all. but we are ending Cersei's and Jaime's career with a pro gamer move. We can try to be Joffrey's mentor but due to Bran plan.
Cersei,Jaime and their children will be seen as Targs traditionalist due to incest thing.
Would be really bad to be that guy who gained your admiration only later to bust your mom for incest and you get kicked by grandfather for being an incest kid. 100% sure Cersei will point fingers at us.
>>
>>3561815

....King in the North?

Bobby B is a drunkard, the Targs are nuts, Renly is a poofter, Stannis is a dick, the Lannisters need to be eliminated root and stem, but the Starks are pretty decent and our liege lords and the oldest dynasty in the seven kingdoms.

>>
>>3562103
>Dornish
When have we brought them up?
>>
>>3562103
Some of us haven't been hating mindlessly on Lannisters. They're simply in an untenable position due to a variety of familial factors. Targaryens are shits since they tend to go mad with all the inbreeding. They're the ones who caused the war when Mad King burned two Northern Lord Paramounts in succession and an Arryn to boot. That kind of shenanigans -deserve- a dynastic change.

I don't think there's been much mention of the Dornish?
>>
>>3561937
Ned will support Stannis for Iron Throne. We're merely anticipating the inevitable discovery of Joffrey's incestry-ancestry, and preparing Stannis/Ned's standing position to be unassailable.

If Stannis decides to upgrade his rank as Emperor of the Seven Kingdoms (because King of the Seven Kingdoms is fucking stupid), then Ned can have his Northern Crown. But we are not going to push for an independent Northern Kingdom.

The only good Lannister is the Imp and Jaime wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't a sisterfucker. Targ hate is obvious as they are prone to insanity from all the severe inbreeding. Dornish hasn't been brought up much despite being hardcore Targ loyalists.

Personally, I think coming back as a Valyrian would be hilarious if only due to our self-loathing and personal despair. If it's not personal reasons though Dornish would be hilarious solely due to all the aggressive horny women and us having no interest in sex which would drive them mad. Much less anything else. I personally hope for Dorne cause goddamn that shit is gonna be amazingly funny even if it is going to be a complete pain in the ass.

Respawning in Lannister turf would be the least fun in terms of Westeros locations.
>>
>>3562155
On the other hand, being born as the most competent (and not disfigured) son of Tywin would allow some serious political shifts and prevent the downfall of the Lannister Dynasty.

> Kingsguard

As the dinner went on, there was much reserved small talk, adhering stringently to etiquette as possible.
Your family clearly did not wish to start anything with the crown and the crown were still somewhat wary of you, Cersei making pointed questions, such as whom are you going to marry and what do they do on their spare time, attempting to milk information out of them.

You and Rickar were more the focus of the menfolk, with warstories, hunting stories and other such things asked from you.
"I have to ask, where did you get the map for Iron Islands during the Greyjoy Rebellion?"
Robert asks
"There was an Ironborn sailor whom I knew well. He wanted to make an honest living instead of piracy, but sadly, he and his crew were murdered by the mountain clans whilst he was doing honest work transporting goods in the Vale.
I got the map from him before he died.
Hopefully one day I get the opportunity to make the savages pay for that."
"I'm sorry for your friend. I know the feel."
He says
"It's fine, I've moved on, even if I've not forgotten."
"I'll take your word for it then. Now if you'll all excuse me, your King needs to desperately take a shit."
He says as he raises from the table
"Get the next course ready while I'm gone."

As the servants began to re-set the table, you took this opportunity to stretch your legs and have a chat with the Kingsguard.

"So, Ser Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer"
"Did you want something Ser Arthur?"
He answers with a smug look
"Well, I'd like to thank you for your service to this country. You saved a lot of lives by slaying a tyrant in spite of your vows and sacrificing your honor in the altar of justice."
He gives you a skeptical look and replies sarcastically
"Well it's always nice to be appreciated."
You offer him your hand
"Might I shake the hand that saved this city?"
He smirks and takes your extended hand, grasping it firmly befofe pulling you in closer
"That's not exactly a story many care to hear."
"It is a story known to me and I do think you've conducted yourself rather admirably during the war, even if rest of your family's forces were considerably less so."
He lets you go
"Well, now you've shaken the hand that killed your last King. Must be a strange thing throwing a party for the man who usurped him."
You shrug
"It is, but not for the reasons you stated. I don't consider myself much of a party animal, so excessive celebrations are a rarity for me to begin with."
He lifts his eyebrow as he eyes you
"What, did you think I was making fun of you just now? I do genuinely respect what you did, even if your reappointment to the Kingsguard is considered a controversial matter."
He chuckles while giving smug smirk as he looks away
"Well thank you for that backhanded compliment Ser Arthur."
"I just told you the truth. Have a good day Ser Jaime, and keep your conscience clean."
You say as you return to the dinner table

True but trust me, as someone who has been a part of /mlp/, /tg/, /qst/ and a half-a-dozen other boards, /mlp/ is dying the most painful of deaths: they already struggled to assimilate because of their general isolation and the nature of their content; now the show is coming to a close slowly so that source of drying up.

Yet between the Scruffenings 1 and 2, between the dying and the discontent and between so many shit decisions in the actual show, they've managed to hold on. Yet it's more like looking at the 300 holding the hot gates, it's not a question of if the board will die but when.

There have been reports from other nationalities too, a Russian-speaker told tales about a year ago of how all their /mlp/-type sites and boards were dead, a few posts a month being the common speed. He came to /mlp/ and asked to join and was welcomed, yet this shows just how dire the situation is for that little board of little horses.

>>3563160
True but if the oldest rule was still respected perhaps it wouldn't be an issue. If they merely waited in the wings and watched like the many long time lurkers, we'd not face this issue of cultural haemorrhage.
>>
>>3564023
/mlpol/ was quite fun.
the issue with pol is that reddit kept flooding in constantly and now every thread is a shitpost when before 3 of 5 threads would usually have something of value such as actual news or some funny shit.
even the birth of bant didnt fix anything as shitposting still flooded pol.
the real final death knell was the addition of memeflags as it just lead to further shitposting.

in threads on pol you can post the most basic bait such as the fucking 360 degrees and walk away pasta and get at least 30 guaranteed replies from newfags
shameful all.
>>
>>3564143
Yeah, to be honest the only way to save /pol/ is probably to destroy it and remake it under a different name.

That or we need to kill all redditors but that'd be a bit expensive.
>>
>>3563042
/tg/ is a dying board even before /qst/ exile. Mostly due to all the goddamn generals that kills creativity seemed to be the finishing blow. /qst/ just so happened to ban one of the only remaining content providers in mass. As a result, it went from one of the best boards to the worst. Though to be fair /tg/ was already in really bad shape long before that. /v/ died to gamergate not 2016.

Culturally speaking very few boards are intact. I know /ck/ is hanging on still but all the bigger and more well-known ones keep dying horrific deaths. I heard not even /a/ is doing very good anymore and are panicking about the SJW targeting their content. They really aren't a happy bunch about that. Given how all their nerdy comrades died such horrific deaths(cough comics and starwars as examples cough). I can't blame them but it seems like they don't intend to go down without a fight. They've been preparing for this and know it's been coming for years. I wish them the best of luck seeing as how they are one of the only remaining nerdy hobby holdouts which haven't yet been destroyed.

>>3564023
Damn never thought those horsefuckers would die given how radioactive they are. The death of their content though...that would kill them. Shame they are a great bunch as /mlpol/ as shown.

Things are also real grim with other content too though. Just look at what happened to Starwars and comics. Shame I guess it's down to /a/ now.

>>3564145
The only thing that can save /pol/ is killing all redditors and shills or simply nuking the board before remaking it after things cool off. /pol/ died due to its own fame coming back to bite it. Redditors are the worst newfags imaginable and shills never assimilate.

I have noticed the oldfags and other anons in /pol/ aren't ready to go down without a fight. They've been turning on the Trumpfags like crazy and fighting against the shills. Last I checked it was to the point they hounded the Trumpfags to their General thread. The fight against the shills is an endlessly brutal one especially with how they'll flood the board at will and bump their own threads. Meanwhile, with the vast numbers of newfags, the oldfags are floundering to assimilate them. They are all badly outmatched but I give them credit for being willing to go down fighting despite the situation they're in.
>>
>>3564299
>/tg/ is a dying board even before /qst/ exile.
Maybe but definitely nowhere near as fast. There existed the potential to recover but now we've been scattered, many left us in the transfer to /qst/ for other sites and won't ever return.

>Mostly due to all the goddamn generals that kills creativity seemed to be the finishing blow. /qst/ just so happened to ban one of the only remaining content providers in mass. As a result, it went from one of the best boards to the worst. Though to be fair /tg/ was already in really bad shape long before that.
Yeah, honestly I blame the popularisation of Critical role and those sorts of things, suddenly /tg/'s screencaps and archives, once a boon to cultural assimilation, became a beacon of "content" to the wrong sorts: those who just wished to take something away to /r4chan or some other place rather than actually wanting to engage in conversation / banter.

>/v/ died to gamergate not 2016.
Fair though it's loss isn't as harsh as some and their culture does survive, just in archives and screencaps. Who knows, perhaps in a dozen years they'll be revived by some or perhaps they will finally be forgotten. I've never been one for the board but I've listen to their musicals and must admit a respect for them.

>Culturally speaking very few boards are intact.
Yeah, popularity is a bane.

>I know /ck/ is hanging on still but all the bigger and more well-known ones keep dying horrific deaths.
I mean /k/ has held together pretty well and /co/ is god damn eternal.

>I heard not even /a/ is doing very good anymore and are panicking about the SJW targeting their content. They really aren't a happy bunch about that.
Honestly? /a/ is probably going to be one of the last to fall: Japan's cultural isolation from products of the west, their general attitudes? They won't bend or break. At worst anons will have to accept shittier fandubs and fansubs rather than officially produced shit if sales tank in the west.

>Given how all their nerdy comrades died such horrific deaths(cough comics and starwars as examples cough). I can't blame them but it seems like they don't intend to go down without a fight.

True. Lord knows I'll pickup the banner and march to war if worst comes to worst but I live in hope that that shan't be needed, that the powers-that-be shall fade or shift their focus and they'll survive.
>>
>>3564309
>Damn never thought those horsefuckers would die given how radioactive they are. The death of their content though...
Yep. Yet we are going down slowly and peacefully, like the elves of Tolkien: so tired; so few; we're drifting away from this place to where none may follow. We burned a path of conquest and culture across the internet and the world like Genghis khan or Alexander, yet just like them, after the rise comes the fall. It doesn't help that /mlp/ is hardly the fandom at large, that'll probably survive far longer if not forever.

>Shame they are a great bunch as /mlpol/ as shown.
There exists a great deal of the good of 4chan in /mlp/ and they might well be the last of the boards to truly fall given it's death comes from age and time rather than a influx of newfags or anything. Though, another bout of cancerous moderation would certainly be deadly to it.

>Things are also real grim with other content too though. Just look at what happened to Starwars and comics. Shame I guess it's down to /a/ now.
Anon, there exists a great deal yet to flag and fail. Comics might be burning but only the biggest companies and from the ashes shall come a new bloom: new characters, new stories, new ideas. In the case of films, so what if Star wars burns? That doesn't change what already existed! An entire universe: films; books; comics; games and more lore, it exists in the hearts of men and that shall survive past the greed of executives or the preaching of sinners.

>The only thing that can save /pol/ is killing all redditors and shills or simply nuking the board before remaking it after things cool off. /pol/ died due to its own fame coming back to bite it. Redditors are the worst newfags imaginable and shills never assimilate.
True. It's accurate to the death of all 4chan that, in the end, the site dies from fame rather than misfortune. Nothing can kill the spirit of brotherly banter but blithering buffoons: not attacks on the hosting servers, not DDOS attacks, not anything but the weight of those that come.

>I have noticed the oldfags and other anons in /pol/ aren't ready to go down without a fight. They've been turning on the Trumpfags like crazy and fighting against the shills.

The fight against the shills is an endlessly brutal one especially with how they'll flood the board at will and bump their own threads.
Rare is it to see them motivated, I hope for their victory. Who knows, perhaps that will be the turning point.

>Meanwhile, with the vast numbers of newfags, the oldfags are floundering to assimilate them. They are all badly outmatched but I give them credit for being willing to go down fighting despite the situation they're in.
Lord knows that if they manage, they'll be a force to be reckoned with, a /pol/ with even a third of it's number of newfags converted to their ways would make the strength they held in older times seem small.

> Fampais

As you all stretched your legs, you went to have a chat with your little family.

"So, who is this little guy?"
You say to Ayenna, whose little two-year old son is hiding behind her skirt.
"His name is Darren. Say hello Darren."
He just goes further back
"He is a bit shy. He's been hiding all journey."
"Well, congratulations on a son, late as it may be. Where's Grandon by the way?"
"He wasn't feeling too well. I think it's something he ate."

[ Healing skill 5 ]

"Get some dried chamomiles, boil them in hot water, remove the plants after a moment and mix in some honey to sweeten it if you like.
The Herbal infusion helps as a digestive aid and a stress reliever along with providing various other health benefits. Honey does much the same thing. If nothing else, it's warm, flavored sugar water and won't cause any problems."
"You've started to become a healer now then?"
"Of a sort. I've learned the mostly reliable methods from books and Maesters and I regularly offer such counsel to my subjects when I've the time. You'd be surprised how many problems the application of a strong enough drink actually solves."
"So you just roam the land healing people as a Lord?"
"It helps survey my lands and foster some trust between me and my people. There is still a gap of status and culture between us, but so long as there is mutual respect between ruler and vassal, prosperity will follow."
You chuckle
"Though truth be told, I did take a shortcut to kickstart the Golden Age for my people, which is to follow once I get them home."
She looks at you with starry eyes
"Can I come to visit with Grandon sometime? Maybe he could learn something from you."
"Sure, although it is quite a long journey. How about the rest of you? Enjoying this little dinner party?"

Your mother gives you a short smile
"Oh yes, it is an honor to dine with royalty."
"So, anything happen on your end recently?"
She maintains a poker face and replies coldly
"Nothing of interest. We can talk later on such trivial topics later. After all, our gracious hosts wish for your attentions more than I do for the time being."
You decide not to push it further.
The Royal Garden in presence of the Lannisters is not exactly the time nor the place for a heart to heart, especially considering that your family has certain degree loyalist tendencies due to their side in the war.
"Right. I suppose you are right."

Only reason /tg/ is dying is because it banished all the creative people from there and embraced generals and culture war.

Still, all it takes for a renaissance is that people start making content which attracts like-minded people.
If you want /qst/ to be good or at least mediocre, write a quest about what you want to see. When you make content you wanna see, you attract like-minded people.

Ultimately this quest was born of the frustration where no isekai MC ever made fucking guns and with the full understanding that it will likely serve as a terrible warning when it crashes and burns, and that will in turn make someone else write their own quest where they will constantly point out how shit my quest was.
Turns out that didn't quite work out that way just yet.
>>
>>3564381
>Only reason /tg/ is dying is because it banished all the creative people from there and embraced generals and culture war.
True.

>When you make content you wanna see, you attract like-minded people.
Yeah but that requires a degree of confidence, focus and commitment that is rare amongst anons. We're a naturally cowardly group given our universal anonymity means we can abandon ship without any great cost.

>Turns out that didn't quite work out that way just yet.
Who knows, maybe this quest will end well. I've seen it happen a few times! I mean I've seen far more quests die to disease, prison sentences, injury, family deaths, qm deaths and so on but still, live in hope!

That Darren kid is not another ISEKAI'd person, is he? His hesitation to meet the uncle is totally normal and explainable by normal kid being a kid.

Right?
>>
>>3564387
I mean we are someone who he has never met, who is basically famous for being insanely competent at everything he has tried to do, who just took down three nation state's navies and is often believed to be some sort of practitioner of sorcery.

He is also 2 years old and a noble kid, the lad probably hasn't got much people experience.

>>3564466
>>3564470
I think, if we want to un-mongle the royal line then the best we can do is maybe try & stop Arryn from being poisoned, possibly by driving a wedge of some sort between Jon's wife & Littlefinger?

Alternatively; we don't want to end up on Baelish's shit-list, so maybe we keep our collective head down & just carry on playing Factorio up in the north?
>>
>>3564471
Lysa is so batshit insane that driving a wedge between her and Littlefinger is more likely to get us killed than anything else.

I think Arryn dying is probably just going to have to happen. We have a better chance of saving Ned from his execution I reckon.
>>
>>3564471
I'm gonna have to agree with>>3564479 easiest way to prevent both the war and Ned's execution is the "save Bran, expose Lannister incest midcoitus" plan, which unfortunately means letting Arryn die. Trying to save him could tip people off and potentially force us to answer questions we shouldn't be, and just storming KL to extract Ned should really be more of a plan B.
>>
>>3564479
>>3564496
Fair enough; operation Raisin' Bran is a go.

How do we enact it, though? We can't exactly just happen to leave our cart of extra-soft cushions under that particular window all day. Do we know exactly which tower it is? Is it a tower to which we, as some rando minor lord from up north, would reasonably have free access?

Perhaps most importantly; do we know the date & approximate time of the fateful defenestration?
>>
>>3564540
>How do we enact it, though? We can't exactly just happen to leave our cart of extra-soft cushions under that particular window all day.
I mean you say that anon but if we just explain it using magic, people'd believe us. Which given some anons want to at least hire a magician for our court, seems possible to do.

>Do we know exactly which tower it is? Is it a tower to which we, as some rando minor lord from up north, would reasonably have free access?
Yes, given the damage to it / state of disuse and probably yes, given the targs / bran manged to both get in and avoid getting caught while also being isolated enough that Bran wasn't immediately discovered.

>Perhaps most importantly; do we know the date & approximate time of the fateful defenestration?
Yes we do know the date given we know who is in attendance and why they are there. We can watch for them heading north.
>>
>>3564553
Okay, then.
Raisin' Bran is shaping up nicely.

Not sure about telling everyone we're magic, though. Probably best to try & play it off as coincidence.
>>
>>3564724
Keep in mind that we, in all likelihood, fucked the timeline so much Bran Plan might well not even be a thing anymore. Bullying three city-states at once doesnt exactly happen in the books.
>>
>>3564858
Yeah; all this is contingent of our actions not having butterflied away Bran's incest peep-show.

If there is no tower incident, then what's our best bet?
>>
>>3564724
>Not sure about telling everyone we're magic, though. Probably best to try & play it off as coincidence.
I mean, they already think it. Might as well but I'd point out the focus I was placing was more so on our hired magician than us given they'd be our source of information / prophecy.

>>3564858
This is also very true but at the same time, if we consider that to be the case, then it is also likely that Robert ain't going to die any time soon.

>>3564901
At that point we're potentially better off doing damage control to ensure the war ends quickly and cleanly in the favour of our side.
>>
>>3564901
Drop hints about the fuckery and talk with Tyrion. We *can* still do the reveal but Ned wont suck our dick.

And if that doesnt work there is always the threat of overwhelming firepower to keep a war from happening...

I get the fear but I'm really not sure how exactly the free city crusade would effect anything. Little Finger will still be up to his fuckery, Arryn will still be lpoking into rhings the Lannisters don't want him to, he'll still probably die, and Robert will still likely visit Ned to give him the job as king's hand. I don't think anything we did would effect any of that.

That said there was one idea anons toyed with before. We could hold off a few months to lower our head politically, then start looking into house ancestry records, inform our lord Ned Stark of our findings, send them out to Stannis next powder shipment showing an oddity we found
>"Pecular that there has not been even one blonde haired Baratheon on record before, even when married to a Lannister, yet three miraculously appeared in one core family all in the same generation"

then boom there's legitimate reason to look further into things.
>>
>>3565759
Yeah but imagine giving that reasoning in court.
>he has different hair than his fathers despite there being a 50/50 shot for all three.
The chances of Cercei and Bobby B having three blond kids is honestly pretty high. It's like winning three coin flips in a row. Sure it's weird but it can happen.
>>
>>3565759
How exactly does one prove paternity in a pseudo-medieval setting? Magic, maybe?
>>
>>3566076
Jon finding out that baratheon features shone through for every Baratheon/Lannister coupling was enough to get him murdered. Ned knowing was enough to get Sansa kidnapped and threatened to be killed unless he went to the stairs of King's Landing and announced he made shit up.
>>
>>3566173
It was Lysa who killed Jon Arryn, not Cersei.
In the books, Cersei and Jon Arryn had an understanding to not rock the boat.

>>3566111
You practically don't. Though the family records give credence, having one of the King's bastards too would give more so.
You could always try and collect Robert's bastards too, but this is a more overt manouvre and you will totally get noticed for doing this.
>>
Seems our best bet to keep shit stable then will be to intervene when Ned needs help by preventing Sansa being used against him or by directly saving his life when that becomes needed.

That or we accept what is coming and instead prepare to arm the north and prevent shit like the Red Wedding.
>>
>>3566377
Pretty sure we wanted to train up a team of sharpshooters/commandos for when the shit in KL goes down. Not sure if we ever made any progress on that though.
>>
>>3566377
We can also prevent Bobby B's hunting "accident." potentially. Basically, the way I'm seeing it, we need enough soldiers and ships we have control of the waters if the war happens and we support ned. If Ned dies, we support Stannis. If Stannis becomes Lightbringer then I have no clue. At that point we might as well support Aegon or throw our hat in the ring because everything's gone tits up.

Melisandre became Stannis' advisor because she was capable of fulfilling her end of the deal (shadow baby assassinations, limited future sight). He would not need to rely as much on her if we have his back. With our introduction into the North, the once backwater region has become a significant power within the Seven Kingdoms.

Cersei didn't want to kill Ned even during the original book. Now imagine what the Lannisters would think about killing the LP of the Region With Guns and Cannons. Which incidentally has a close tie with Lord Stannis, who stands to become King if the Lannister Incestry is promoted.

Tywin will bend the knee, because he knows to do otherwise is to invite the destruction of his clan to the seventh generation. He has heard of what we did to the Essosi Free Cities. Lannisport is nowhere near defended, nor is the Rock as defensible as thought with gunpowder weaponry. If Ned dies, then all the better - the Lannisters will have to do a great many things to make up for -that- transgression.

In the end for Tywin, there is only the survival of the family
>>
>>3566612
Reminder all Ned has is a squad or two of borrowed riflemen you loaned to him. The North is still a near worthless doomed shithole.
>>
>>3566612
Also, you can sack Lannisport and maybe even Casterly Rock but good luck doing anything of actual importance in the war. The entire thing took place on land away from water with the exception of the battle of Blackwater.
>>
>>3566613
Book event won't happen for a few years yet, and we're still producing powder weapons all the while. And we have yet to go full capacity because we aren't home yet, investing our newly earned cash in production capabilities.

Ned also has more than a squad or two, anon. He's been tithing us with muskets and ammunition. And we spent -three years- on shipbuilding. He has what, two hundred by now?
>>
>>3566615
KL battle was one of THE major conflicts in W5K. We prevent Stannis' fleet from getting wildfired, that will allow him to keep steamrolling.
>>
>>3566618
Nah we could bombard the red keep
>>
>>3566619
Hell storm ends and oldtown could be sieged
>>
>>3566617
Unless he has more than a couple of thousand equipped riflemen, it's going to do jackshit against the Westerlands and the Reach's insane numbers in an all out war. Like I said, ships don't mean anything when the conflict is going to be mainly on land. The North could try splitting its forces so it takes occupation of the vacated west but that would leave them with a weaker main force.

Let's be real here, the only reason we won against the Free cities is because they're all coastal, they rely heavily on trade, and we refused to meet them on the ground. They had better numbers, experienced mercenaries, and a fuck ton more wealth than we had. Take away our purely naval advantage and we're nothing but a somewhat effective skirmish force of about half a hundred people.

Of course, a fully outfitted and trained army would be superior to any force save maybe the Golden Company.
>>
>>3566623
Yeah, that would be the not-so-metaphorical gun to Reach's head. And Tyrells rely on the continued support of its vassals to maintain its primacy, more so than any other Lords Paramount in fact due to the sheer number of powerful families in the region.

Redwynes, the fleet power for Reach - don't want to get Ironborn'd.

Hightowers, one of the wealthiest houses in the Reach - don't want to get Ironborn'd, even if marriage tie with Renly.

Tarlys, THE military commander family of the Reach - marriage ties with the Tallons, which is one of the major vassal houses to Stannis-North alliance and very likely the pin that holds those two together (preventing idiotic Kingindanorf).

Reach will be a little more careful in declaring for Renly this time around.
>>
>>3566624
Casterly Rock and Kings Landing are coastal you defeatist twit.
We can bombard their cities easily.
>>

Jesus Christ, I'm sure that will help against their giant fucking army.

Taking King's Landing would be a wise move, though. Doesn't stop the aforementioned giant fucking army but it does give us a chance to end the war before it begins, if it ever begins and we decide to do anything about it.
>>
>>3566624
Westerlands didn't manage winning against Robb Stark, and the only reason they could manage sustaining the losses they did was because they had the money to hire more. What makes you think they would do better this time, when we can influence things to prevent Ned's death in the first place? The North doesn't march south to occupy places, they're there to raze Westerlands as revenge for killing the Ned.

Reach is insanely powerful if united. If. Things have become somewhat more complicated because of the addition of Us into the equation, but more than that is the introduction of Cannons.

Say goodbye to long, protracted sieges. No more reliance on ancient ballistae. We have the means to truly reduce fortified positions to the ground, but more than that, our siege weapons double as smashing infantry formations.

And we have a few more years to prepare for all this with all the wealth at our disposal. Would I say we are ready right now, in this moment? No. But given time (that we do have) and money (that we definitely do have)?

Hell yeah.
>>
>>3566630
Yes anon because giant fucking armies have no upkeep cost and you can just keep marching them around for eternity whilst all your coastal cities get pulverized.
>>
>>3566631
Westerlands couldn't win against Robb because the young wolf was actually really good at war and Jaime was an awful commander. If we bring cannons into the equation and a fuck load of them, of course we'd win the war. I'm not saying we wouldn't in any situation but we need to consider the reality here: guns and cannons aren't an instant win button, like the fucking mountain clansmen taught us.
>>3566635
Remind me again what happens to the Riverlands whenever a surrounding region declares war?
>>
>>3566637
There is an aspect to war that is not being considered here, and that is the shock and awe effect of gunpowder weapons. There is a nearly superstitious fear/respect/boner for our big guns in Westeros due to the showing we had with the Free Cities. Enemy commanders are not fully cognizant of the strengths and weaknesses of cannons, only that it's Really Loud, Makes Smoke, and Very Dangerous.

Morale is one of the chief factors in any classical battle involving the push-and-pull of mortal bodies pitted against each other. The cards are going to be heavily stacked against those without our wonderwaffes.
>>
>>3566642
Still doesn't make them an instant win button. We tried the same against the Mountain Clansmen and the weather fucked us up. Also, where is this superstitious fear and respect? We've just barely gotten back from the crusade. Of course, word will spread amongst the smallfolk and the nobility but that fear and respect remains to be seen.

At first, our guns will probably do a lot of morale damage. After a while, the enemy armies might probably get used to it if they've gone at us enough times. Then again, we do live in a superstitious world where magic is still feared and acknowledged. Hell, who's to say our own armied won't get scared by the booming sounds of guns and cannons going off?

Thinking any of our advantages will be permanent and apply in any situation is just going to fuck us if we don't think these things through.
>>
>>3566630
You don't have the men to actually take anything, but you can blockade a lot of stuff. Problem is when the enemy doesn't care about loss of access to sea, then you don't really have much to do.
>>
>>3566649
That's going to be us then. I don't see any reason why access to the sea would be something any of our potential enemies would care much about other than loss of trade, which Westeros is lacking a whole lot of. The Reach will still have its grain and the Westerlands will still have their mines, even if they're drying up.
>>
>>3566647
I assumed we were all in favour of making maxim guns for the crowd control portion of the war? I mean, like I said, we have a lot of time until the book events begin in earnest.

Trust in the Maxim. Believe in the Maxim. WORSHIP the Maxim.
>>
>>3566653
You do realize that a couple accurate explosive shells will break any formation? Couple that with the fact that we can shoot at them long before the lines meet. In a terrestrial battle, a dozen cannons will assure victory. In a naval setting, we rule anyway.

What you dont seem to get from the previous exchange is that the Reach wont follow the Lannisters if we start shooting up their coast. And with Mannis putting pressure on the West and the North having guns and cannons, its a blatant no-win scenario. However proud Tywin is, he isnt dumb. Aside some stupid Joffrey tricks or other calamity there wont be a war.
>>
>>3566661
First it was field cannons now it's explosive shells, are we going to have automatics by the time the war starts?

If we start shooting up their coast, don't you think they'll be more than a tad pissed that the child of one of their lesser lords is biting their hand and will give them more reason to side with the Lannisters? Will our family really be well off if we decide to do that? Tywin doesn't buy the story of our crusades even with all the evidence. He might later but not understand just what cannons can do.
>>
>>3566666
>are we going to have automatics by the time the war starts
yes.
>>
oh you sweet summer children
>>
>>3566666
I mean when you are having a 10 000 Gold Dragon party with the freed slaves on KL, he kinda has to believe.
>>
>>3566670
but will he understand the full range of capabilities a cannon has?
>>
>>3566666
We are already equipped with hundreds of explosive rounds for our 80 cannons. Taking a dozen cannons with a hundred shot off the boat is an easy example.

Furthermore, they dont have to like us. And unlike what you think, they arent out for total war. Nor d they all have personal interest in seeing us dead. Telling Hightower to fuck off or we bomb his city is a very nice way to cut him out of the equation. Granted, cant do that with Tarly, and it probably wouldnt work either, but if you reduce the Reaches assets enough the Tyrells wont risk their position for Tywin. Much like Tywin wont risk his legacy for a couple dumb kids.
>>
>>3566670
>>3566666
Tywin is actually the one person who can afford and pull of a move to get knock off guns and import a powder replacement from alchemists in ashai or wherever in essos at ludicrously larger price - as he has the treasury for it.

That being said getting it in enough quantities will be a bitch and a half, and keeping said supply up in a war is going to be impossible as we are going to cut that route off anyway.
>>
>>3566666
>automatics by war
Quints deserves an answer, and that answer is YES.
>>
>>3566674
>the bootleg guns and propellant argument.
Again
>>
>>3566673
Of course they don't have to like us. The problem is they'll probably end up fucking hating us and viewing our family as traitors.

Good luck reducing the never ending fortune that is the Reach fields from their coast. This isn't even factoring in the massive treasuries and grain stalls the Reach families probably have.
>>
>>3566679
Las I checked the Reach was relying on trade of its harvest to thrive. They dont exactly make sunflower jewelery, now do they. And what you fail to realise is that this isnt a total war. They will never fight to the last man. They will not suffer through economic ruination for Tywin. Much like Tywin wont suffer through having his lands and family torched on the slim hope that his incest grandson might sit on a throne he might get assasssinated off of anyway.

This isnt Total War: Westeros.
>>
>>3566679
Reach is not inflexible. It is capable of bending the knee - multiple times, in fact, as long as they judge the situation to necessitate it. The concept of total war is alien to these people. They will not send never-ending flow of bodies for the Juche Ideology against those Gun-Totin' Yanks.
>>
Just saying
> 100 canons shooting grapeshot
>>
>>3566677
they will be complete shit compared to ours and we will beat any such army like stupid fuckers.

does not mean they wont try.
>>
>>3566683
>Last I checked the Reach was relying on trade of its harvest to thrive. They dont exactly make sunflower jewelery, now do they.
Yeah, they trade to the surrounding lords with nowhere near the amount of fields and resources they have.
>And what you fail to realise is that this isnt a total war. They will never fight to the last man
Of course not, no nation would but they have tons of men to spare.
>Much like Tywin wont suffer through having his lands and family torched on the slim hope that his incest grandson might sit on a throne he might get assasssinated off of anyway.
You mean like he did in canon? Tywin's way too prideful to accept any sort of surrender unless he wins some way or gets something out of it.
>>3566684
I remember the time it took three dragons, yes.
>>
>>3566685
We have the capacity to go actual artillery, rather than cannons, explosive and all. Has a much bigger effect on enemy formations from much further away.

>>3566686
The thing is that its not cost effective. Sure, you can make a gun pretty easily, but if the wildfire charge renders the thing slag after the first shot its not useful. Our advantage is that its dirt cheap to make. Tywin, even with a supply at only 4x the cost (transport and all) will be far less capable of fielding numerous units of powder, despite his vast wealth. Plus, as anon said, once trade is cut its done.
>>
>>3566666
.......anon we alreasy have explosive shells, and do you really think a few years aren't enough to produce cannons for an army?
>>
>>3566689
Ok anon, Im not getting anywhere here.

You do you.
>>
>>3566693
I was just thinking the same thing.
>>3566691
We're advancing so fast I can barely keep up. It's not like we need explosive rounds to fell a fleet.
>>
>>3566694
>We're advancing so fast I can barely keep up. It's not like we need explosive rounds to fell a fleet
Well I mean, it's pretty easy to advance your tech if you know what comes next. We'll hit a wall eventually where we'd require specialized equipment and high end factories, but big metal tubes and bomb balls aren't it
>>
>>3566690
I expect it to be x20 or so at cost, but to be somewhat less volatile then the wildfire and highly ununiform in quality, sometimes to low powerd, sometimes to high powerd, so a high rate of misfire chance. it would make it totally not viable to use it in anything but artillery and the cost to running it astronomical.
Why only Tywin would able to afford such a bondogle. Much easier to try and get some from the Royals, and supplement it with the crap as bulk up.

And the only reason for that would be preparing to fight us specifically and have a minuscule shot at some kind of viability.

It would be his only option to properly arm his army to somewhat similar standards at least for artillery.

Basically any scenarios where we would be remotely challenged on the battlefield are total crap shots or out of context and ludicrously expensive that no one can actually afford plus generally inferior in both performance and numbers.

Whilst the preparations for the grand celebrations were underway, the royals requested a tour in your ship. Surprisingly, they were joined by a Lannister figure of rather small stature.

"Ser Tallon, meet my imp of a brother in law's Tyrion Lannister."
"Well met Lord Tyrion, I must admit I had not expected you to join us in this tour."
"Don't worry, I shan't take much room."
Joffrey speaks
"You must forgive us, my creature of an uncle insisted on accompanying us."
"It's fine I suppose. Now, as I take you for this tour, I must insist that you follow my instructions and do not wander off. Failure to do so may result in loss of life and limb. Good? We may begin."
"As you see, we are now in the main deck. Those of you who have been aboard the Long Night may recognize the swivel guns. We use those on this ship as well. The Skiffs over there double as lifeboats and landing crafts for the Marines aboard the vessel and under them are the cargo chutes. Up there on the masts we've got our observer's post and a few rifle nests. Blokes will be shooting down on enemies from there. That's about it. Let's head to the first gun deck, shall we?"
As you lead your guests to come down the first set of stairs, everyone's eyes widened.
"So, these are the new long 12 pounder guns. As you might have guessed, they throw thrice the mass of the guns on Long Night and chew through powder rather hungrily."
"How much did you spend on this?"
Stannis asks
"I am in a lot of debt and had to make some backroom deals to offset most of the costs. Anyway, if you want one of these ships made, Manderly is the one making them now."
Joffrey is rubbing a cannon with a smug smirk
"Right, let's go over the standard ammo types"
That got his attention
"We've got the classic Ball Ammo for hard targets, not much different to Trebuchet ammo. Rakes through rowers all the way to the rear and sinks a ship when you put holes under waterline. This one here's for your soft targets, we were prepared to give grape shot to enemies in case they came with Longships, but they didn't. Finally there's the chainshot. It's made to rip apart sails and masts in the event of a chase."
"What if you were to hit a the enemy captain with that?"
The Blonde child asks
"They get rent asunder, it's not a pretty way to go, but at least it's a quick one. Anyway, if it fits in the hole, it can be shot. Yea, not much else to say. Any questions?"
"Can we shoot one?"
"There will be time for that once the party gets started. For now, it would spoil the surprise."
"How far can these shoot?"
Robert asks
"Errr... Few thousand yards is the furthest hit we've gotten so far, although it's not very accurate at that point. This stuff is rather new."
"And can these new ones ones damage stone?"
"Sure, though the 24 pounders below are what I really made for that job. Speaking of which, shall we?"
You say gesturing towards the stairs

"How much Iron did you use on these?"
Stannis asks
"Ssssomewhere around two to three hundred tons in total? I can tell you, Manderly was NOT very happy when he had to foot that bill. Good thing North's rich in untapped resources like Iron."
"How far do these shoot?"
Robert asks
"Much the same as the ones on topside but with a 24 pound ball instead of 12, should be pretty decent against most walls."
"And there is no downside or weakness?"
He asks
"They are heavy, noisy, make a lot of smoke and there is only one place to get ammunition. Also, if you set the powder on fire it does as you'd expect. Besides that? Has worked well enough for me."
"Seems I'll need look into guns more in case that fool Viserys ever returns to Westeros."
Robert states
"I trust I have your support."
"I recommend buying another gunship for the Royal Fleet in that case. We've no dragons anymore, so naval power will have to do. Shall we continue?"
"As you will."
"Excellent, the next one is going to be something a bit unusual. We aren't exactly selling these just yet, follow me of you please."
You take your guests down the engine room
"What in the seven hells is that?"
"It's the ship's engine, it's fiery heart. I worked many years on that personally to get it just right."
Tyrion looks at it with keen interest
Joffrey with wide eyes and a smile
Robert with discomfort
Renly with confusion
Stannis... is the same as usual
"What does it do?"
Tyrion asks
"It heats up our tea, dries our clothes, warms our quarters, bakes our bread, keeps our pumps running, fans us when we're hot and rows our ship onward."
"How does it do all that?"
"I guess there's no harm in telling, if anyone else could pull this off I'd have hired them myself."
You point to the boiler
"That heats the water with coal."
"Water turns to steam and runs through those pipes."
"Pipes lead to pistons."
"Steam pushes on pistons."
"Pistons move the shaft."
"Shaft moves the cogs"
"Cogs transmit power to an underwater propeller which moves the ship."
"Excess heat is siphoned upstairs to warm up radiators and cook food on the ship."
"Excess pressure runs the rotating fans, which help move air in the ship."
"That's how you move a ship with a bonfire under her deck."

Stannis speaks out
"How fast does your contraption make this ship?"
"Fast as Long Night on the wind. Faster against and without it."
"And this contraption works?"
"So long as it's maintained, aye. Haven't had malfunctions yet."
"I'd very much like to see it work."
You sigh
"It's gonna take an hour or two to build up the steam."
"I will wait."
You roll your eyes
"I guess we can run it on idle for a bit. Let's head to Captain's quarters while the lads get it running. We'll have some tea and biscuits."

With a not-so-quick snack break, you returned after the machine was brought to life.
"Right, so you definitely do not want to touch any of that stuff when it's running. It's hot and shreds you to pieces, you'd be better off getting shot."

>>3566727

"That's amazing"
Tyrion says
"Which book did you learn this from?"
"There is no book written on this subject to my knowledge. I am the sole pioneer of this field."
You reply
"It's frankly stunning. I've read on the engines of war and mills alike and there's nothing nearly as complex as this. I don't think even Valyrians were capable of this."
"I would imagine they were not. This is a machine built on understanding the natural principles of the world, not violating them through some blood sacrifice."

Joffrey looks at the violent pounding of pistons and rotation of the wheels machine mesmerized
"It's beautiful, the sheer power of it"
"Works at approximately same force as six hundred horses at full steam."

Stannis raises an eyebrow
"How did you come to that conclusion?"
"There's a mathematical formula for it, but it's quite boring and long winded to explain how to reach those numbers, but that's my estimation. Anyhow, let's head topside if you don't mind. We can give the auxiliary tools a whirl if you like."

With a brief display on the sirens on the ship which you explained could be used for communication and for simply spooking the enemy and disrupting their signals, the tour came to a close.

"Right, so that concludes our tour, any questions?"
"How much for this one?"
Stannis replies

*This* ship might be worth 1 million as it is one of the kind and it is the one who has humbled three fucking free cities on its own.

And it must come with the engine and explosive shot.

We are NOT selling the bloody engine, that thing has so much use even without the ship, like powering, hell, any number of things. As QM has mentioned, we're the only ones with the appropriate know-how and PARADIGM to even build the stuff.

Do NOT sell the steam engine. Not until we have better, and people who can actually help streamline the process of building it.

Tyrion seems to be the only one properly appreciating our designs.
>>
>>3567397
If we can get ludicrous amount of money that allows us to build a neck canal or a ironclad or some other bullshit and royal favour it is worth it.

Especially as we can not maintain the mobilization to crew it. We emptied our lands of fighting age men except outriders and garrison troops to crew it.

Trading it, after some time while we can get our crew squared away and produce enough cannon we can feel safe in our lands might be a good option, as we can buy one or two long nights to defend out waters from manderly and then cook up some scheme to one up this one.

No to selling him the engine, yes to getting him another ship full of cannons.

With only 3 years until the start of the events we actually know are going to take place, we should see if we can get some people we know are useful on our side. Like having a word with Randyl and getting his fatboi son to either give up his claim now and we can take him on and teach him, or if not that then maybe Randyl can see how much the citadel has taught us and it can actually help his house in the long run to have a son that knows things other than war. Or finding memelord Karl fookin Tanner, not sure why we would, but I'm sure having someone like him on our side would be handy.

Also, how many of our crew do you all think have been bought by Varys or other spymasters? Has to be at least a few.

Anyway, I suggest we try and help fatboi at the very least.
>>
>>3567516
Well Tyrion is definitely in awe from an intellectual angle, but Stannis is definitely ready to spend what he can to get these in the navy. Joffery just loves the hell out of this powerful warmachine like a kid in a candy store and I sort of respect that.

I guess it's possible? Considering they've just made enough cash to live comfortably for the rest of their days, gained hero status, have that old bit of northern honor to them, and have the sense of camaraderie after serving together on the greatest ship in exchange in an incredibly successful campaign against hated enemies and riding a victory high, I really doubted bribing any of them to spy on Arthur would be easy. At most they got some tidbits and generally unhelpful info for anyone unfamiliar with industrial age level engineering.
>>
>>3568288
I'll take longterm business over a big cash in yeah. That said I don't to sell this ship anyway. Get them set up with an order of 3 of these bad boys, have Manderlay get stated on the ships, and figure out a good way to mass produce the cannons needed for each ship. While doing that we start improving our holds and building that star fort obviously. Gotta make that thing strong and full of cannons in case things go tits up and the war still happens.

You realize we can sell the 12-pounder cannons for big bucks to Mannis (since they are associated with naval combat) and win both big income and Mannises trust (trust that we are happy to get rich supplying him with weapons).

You guys do realize that making a cannon isn't actually that hard?

Even if you wouldn't sell them 24 pounders, they could always forge a fucking bombard if they wanted to in KL.

Granted, forging a cannon takes longer time and thus is more expensive, but a cannon is actually a fairly basic thing.

>>3566460
Yeah, fact is with our current amount of cash, if directly converted from money (discounting what Stark is owed) to Power is equal to 1257 units of it or there abouts. Given how cheap some shit is, we can fund the creation of a decent army, a dozen castles / towers to house them and still have enough funds for a small navy.

We are however investing all that into economic shit which should provide a larger, steady stream of money to fund the creation of such an army as well as potentially making it's recruitment cheaper in terms of equipment / more feasible in terms of men.

>>3566624
>we're nothing but a somewhat effective skirmish force of about half a hundred people.
Anon you are severely underestimating how many people crew our warship and are in our existing units of armed forces. We've a unit of garrison, musketmen and god knows how many sailors plus our outrider cavalry. It's not much but it is more than half-a-hundred.

I do agree however we need to greatly grow our armed forces or at least create a stockpile of arms and facilities to rapidly train people in using them. Fact is training people to use firearms decently is far quicker than swords or bows which means we can easily replenish our numbers during a war, assuming we can maintain control long enough to train and equip fresh troops.

>>3566666
>First it was field cannons now it's explosive shells, are we going to have automatics by the time the war starts?
I mean, we'll probably have flamethrowers and landmines as well but that is besides the point.

>>3566715
>Who will be the new mountain klansmen we immolate ourselves to kill?
Honestly? Probably some assassin if we rock the boat enough.

He's a man who, for his whole life, has had to rely on his mind for respect (what little he gets) and power. We just showed up and basically showed him something that sounds like bullshit but works like a miracle and said that it works off of cold, hard, logic.

>>3568160
That'd be nice. Plus we can have a good time drinking through our herbal alcohol. Maybe even convince him to work against his father.

>>3568831
I know but seemingly everyone else wants to keep them to ourselves. To be fair, once we're dealing with more advanced pieces, we'll want to keep it in-house so to speak but with this shit where it's just a very thickly walled bell with a hole to light it through, that ain't needed.
>>
>>3568897
>Maybe even convince him to work against his father
Seems unlikely considering it took his father actually ordering his execution for him to finally snap like he did.

I don't think he would tattle but it seems a stretch that he would help.

>Seems unlikely considering it took his father actually ordering his execution for him to finally snap like he did.
>I don't think he would tattle but it seems a stretch that he would help.
Yeah true, I'm honestly a bit tired and I wasn't thinking straight.

I do think we could convince him to work against his father but when I say that I mostly mean planting the seeds of doubt and hoping he'll betray him for us at a later date.
>>
>>3568928
Given as we happen to know, unlike anyone except Tywin and Jaime, that Tysha wasn't actually a prostitute, we should probably look into finding her. If we could return her to Tyrion and have her prove that she's not a prostitute to him, we could make a damn powerful ally.
>>
I am pretty sure can’t sell it anyways since we are the only ones that can do maintenance on the steam engine.
>>
>>3568943
That is also a good point, not to mention they'd need to come to us for replacement parts even if they could maintain it.
>>
>>3568931
Befriending him is the place to start. Other than Jaime, I don't think he has any genuine friends and he's still drinking and whoring right now.

>>3568933
Didn't Tywin get his dudes to fuck her shit up? Not sure that it's a good idea, especially considering the fact he still lives at Casterly Rock (as far as I'm aware at this point)

>>3568943
The engine is a piece of engineering magnificence. Too bad it was massive pain in the ass to actually make.
>>
>>3568946
Tyrion seemed really interested in our machine, perhaps he would be interested in coming with us and learn more about them as we work on our next project?
He is the only one that seems to appreciate our «genius»
>>
>>3568946
>Other than Jaime, I don't think he has any genuine friends and he's still drinking and whoring right now.
Yep. If we show our good qualities and shit, he'll trust and respect us. Plus, we can show him some of our half-finished projects and hopefully make him understand that we're about to revolutionise the world, assuming we get the support we need. Generally just convince him we're the good guy and that he can trust us.

>Didn't Tywin get his dudes to fuck her shit up?
He had her fucked by dozens of his soldiers in front of his son to prove his point that she was a whore and then was given a silver piece for each if I remember rightly. It might've been a single gold dragon for all of them or something.

>Too bad it was massive pain in the ass to actually make.
Yep. Now we've got to decide if we want to make another, rip the current one out of our ship or otherwise power our industry, assuming we actually set up factories.
>>
>>3568948
>He had her fucked by dozens of his soldiers in front of his son to prove his point that she was a whore
I forgot how vindictive Tywin can be. Guess it shouldn't be surprising considering how he protects the Mountain.

>>3568947
I'd be down for that. Always seemed like a bro-tier kind of guy.
>>
>>3568951
>I forgot how vindictive Tywin can be.
He has his reasons, even as a dwarf Tyrion can be married off as a pawn in the Grand Game. Letting him marry a lowborn women would be not only a waste, it would dishonour his family.

It's still fucked up but it's logical, if admittedly unnecessarily cruel. Like most of what Tywin does.

>I'd be down for that. Always seemed like a bro-tier kind of guy.
Yep. Plus he has an excellent mind, he might be able to assist us in at least some regards of our estate / research. Maybe he knows some maesters in the citadel or has some books of particular interest to us.

"It is priceless. There is only one man in this world who can make one of these and you are looking at him."
"Do you think it's appropriate when a mere Bannerman's ship outclasses every ship the crown has?"
Stannis replies
"If the crown wants ships like this, the crown can go and purchase as many as they like from White Harbor and then customize them as they see fit as I have done."
"And you won't make another contraption like that?"
"I'd like you to view this from my perspective. Single ship like this takes me at least three years of personal labor to put together with it's guns and the engine. I've other duties too and this vessel has already earned worldwide renown and nearly half a million dragons worth of treasure in its maiden voyage alone. Can the Crown really afford to offer a reasonable rate for this ship?"
"Watch your tongue Tallon. Remember you are speaking to royalty."
Stannis states grimly
"Apologies, but I speak the truth. My advise is that it is far less expensive and far more cost-effective to simply buy ships from White Harbor while ordering such guns as the crown prefers from Port Maw as a ship like this warrants a price of easily over a million dragons thanks to its reputation alone."
"The Crown owns great stretches of Land. You could be a Great Lord somewhere else than the North."
"I like the North. Lord Eddard's a good liege, why would I cast away a working relationship?"
He grunts
"I'll be visiting White Harbour again once my duty with your slaves is done."
"I'll be looking forward to your continued patronage my prince."
You say as you give him a bow

"Now, if there's anything else you'd like to see aboard the vessel, I'll be happy to show you. The Cargo hold and powder magazines are a bit full at the moment, but I can still show the less interesting parts of the ship, such as the kitchen if anyone cares for such mundane details. Maybe answer any questions you have?"
"Is there any way I could study the schematics of the ship or the engine?"
Tyrion asks
"I am contractually obligated to not maintain any written records of this ship or the Long Night pattern ships. All such documents I used to possess are now maintained by House Manderly. The Engine documents I am afraid are a family secret."
"Pity"
"I can however offer you all complimentary bottles of a Herbal Liqueur produced at Port Maw for partaking in this tour and of course for the younger generation, here's some complimentary bottle rockets from the Tallon Fireworker's guild."
You give each of your guests a goodie bag and a handshake followed by bow
"I hope the tour has provided some insight to Port Maw's Naval doctrine and to our advances in the field of gunnery and naval engineering. Thank you for your interest and we hope to see you again soon. Have Good Day!"

Focus on this being an effort achieved by our crew as well as us and that what we did was for the common good. Fact is people already understand our industry and it's conquering might, our ship like no other takes down entire fleets, so instead we should focus on the why's and who's rather than the how's.

Get all our dudes knighted. So many future landed knights. And each of them will have to buy a horse and plate armor. Free upgrade to all our dudes, and we get them all in a military class.

Promote Faith and have the Faith like us even more.


Definitely want to get our plate armored dudes that have to focus on getting swolle so we can give them even heavier guns or more grenades.

That's nothing compared to the shit they did in WW 1. Proper trench mounted siege weapons.

supporting nationalism

This obsession with nationalism makes no sense to me. Westeros isn't facing a existential threat from another nation. it's going to go through civil war (potentially) and an attack by magic-cold-demons. It serves little benefit.

>>3569317
Will he be happy(er?) once he gets access to a galleon and flintlocks of his own or is he going to be eternally butthurt by us having cooler and better stuff? By the time we fill out any given weapons order for the crown we'll have made something like percussion caps that make the previous generation of weapons obsolete, so this is going to be an eternal problem.

And we can't just sell our steam engine, it's a priceless wonder of the world that took years of our life to create. But people like Stannis can't understand the implications it represents and that everyone in the world is staring down the barrel of INDUSTRY. All they can see is that a minor lord has a faster ship than the king and won't give it up.

At most we could promise to build him one as soon as we create the industrial base necessary to make one not-by-hand. Of course as soon as we do that we'll be making ironclads...

>>3570535
>>3569580
There were a couple crossbow designs used by the OSS in WW2 too, mostly for killing sentry dogs and the like.
>>
>>3570620
Ditto. Anons dont realize we are in not!medieval land, not 1910s Deutschland.
>>
>>3570637
Not much point in an ironclad when we can just make the ships hull thicker with wood instead. Not like anyone has explosive ammo at the moment (which is why ironclads were so great). Also, if we want an ironclad we better make a bigass engine since those things weight so much.
>>
>>3570637
>Will he be happy(er?) once he gets access to a galleon and flintlocks of his own or is he going to be eternally butthurt by us having cooler and better stuff?
He's angry because we, a relatively minor lord, are denying him, a prince and more importantly lord-of-all-things-boat, access to our supership. He's worried about us turning against him / the crown and using a ship that they can't stop to do unimaginable damage and also the fact that we don't seem interested in anything he offered.

Imagine if a US senator developed a teleporting missile cruiser that had near endless range for it's weapon systems and then when the president asked him to sell it to him, he said "nah senpai, I want to keep it" even when offered the chance to essentially own a state or something equally insane.

>By the time we fill out any given weapons order for the crown we'll have made something like percussion caps that make the previous generation of weapons obsolete, so this is going to be an eternal problem.
This is part of the reason I want to do some non-military upgrades and designing for awhile. To ensure when we next pull out all the stops, that everyone else has expended their funds getting to our previous level and also so we actually have the capacity to produce it.

Plus, if we start building factories and infrastructure rather than a army, it should calm him down that we aren't about to start a civil war or go and invade Essos or something.

>There were a couple crossbow designs used by the OSS in WW2 too, mostly for killing sentry dogs and the like.
Yeah, war is weird like that.

>>3570639
To be fair, a straight-up ironship is something we might want to make. Also I'd point out that there a limits to just how thick of a hull we can make with wood before it becomes unfeasibly thick / heavy where a thinner metal layer would have some advantage in terms of cost / effort to produce.

Currently it's not worth it but if cannon start being common (especially the bigger ones) we will probably want to consider it.
>>
>>3570651
Agree with industry investments.

On the hull, thick-hulled wooden ships were the go-to against solid shot. This is why the sizes of shot went up to ridiculous proportions (42 pound cannon and 68 pound carronade, for example) and wood was sufficient until the advent of explosive shot. Considering the current cost of iron and the fact that we have far better things to do with it than plaster a ship, doesnt seem that useful to me.
>>
>>3570637
Considering those ships are bound to underperform compared to yours if there is no explosive shells and considering crown is starting to go on the red?

Not gonna mellow by much.

Stannis always was a man who doesn't really trust anyone who hasn't proven themselves trustworthy and you aren't exactly open with your dealings.
Still, he has great expectations of your competence even if he doesn't really trust you.
>>
>>3570656
>Still, he has great expectations of your competence even if he doesn't really trust you.
I mean, to be fair, that is probably the right opinion to hold about us considering the shit we've done and how quickly we've done it.
>>
>>3570656
And that's completely fair. We haven't given him our firstborn or anything. What we have done so far that benefited him was in parallel with our own profiting. As long as he understands that we are a goldmine that he cannot risk letting switch sides, and thus doesn't do anything to fuck us, I am content.

The point is that "nationalism" is not a concept that exists or is even applicable to our situation. Furthermore, a single event will not create nationalism. The Reachmen will still dislike Stormlanders and Balon will still be jello of everybody outside his ilsles. And without a credible external threat and rapid information networks (continental weekly news, for example) you wont have a chance in hell of making any nationalist movement. Its pointless.

Apropo, Freedom is also pretty pointless, seeing as it was already illegal to sell slaves and this is a formality, more than anything. Nobility would have put some actual pressure on nobles and knights to be better instead of be despots and have society judge them based on it. Uplifting your peasants would be the direction, something we could very well use, instead we got people getting hype about slavery still being illegal. Whoop-de-doo.
>>
>>3570825
> Celebration of Nobility: "Nobility obligates! My people have demonstrated their nobility in thought and deed! Let the seven hundred be knighted and let millions be inspired!"

As it says, its not about giving nobles more power, its about showing excellence and being rewarded with a title - personal growth - and that the title is not laurels to rest upon but a bigger responsibility to do better still - like free brothers in bonds in distant lands.

Get a huge Baratheon flag and wave it like it's magic or something.
For anti-Targs,make a hollow evil looking 3 headed dragon 8 foot tall out of clay and give the honour to King Robert Baratheon to smash it with his warhammer.
After that,get a bunch of sweepers to rid the rubbish to herald the start of the parade.
Begone the Targs! Long live King Robert Baratheon!

My countrymen. Brothers and sisters of Westeros.

For many years, we have been a broken nation; shunned, oppressed, and conquered by those we sought to escape. Even as our ancestors fled the slavers of Essos in order to seek freedom, we were followed by the greatest enemy of all.

Valyrians.

Cruel dragon-lords they, who do not hesitate feeding their infernal creatures of war with manflesh. They consorted with their own infernal eggspawn, using blood magics to ensure the delivery of their incestuous offsprings in egg form in order to destroy and terrorise. And even though the Gods themselves intervened from their domination of all Creation, smiting the breeding pit of vipers with great fury, a single escaped and made its den in Dragonstone. From there, the Enslaver's fingers grew long and wide, until it covered the entirety of our beloved home. Noble kings, their wise brows crackled black like pigs on a spit. Fair haired knights, brutally burnt down in the fields. Proud lords who had to kneel, if only to spare us all the only kind of diplomacy the Targaryens know: Blood and Fire.

Robert Baratheon, Father of His Peoples, stood up against the dragon-lords once their weakened bloodline could no longer sire live eggs from their incestuous bodies. The rest we all know. The Siege of Storm's End, where Stannis held down the vast majority of the Dragon-lovers' horde while subsisting on onions and carrots; the Battles of Summerhall, where our Robert fought and won three different battles in a single day; and the Battle of the Trident, where he personally caved in the chest of that kidnapper and rapist, Rhaegar Targaryen.

But that wasn't enough for the Baratheons. They knew that our people remained in the east, chained and castrated by Qartheen maegi and degenerates who are more toad than man, needing the use of palanquins the size of a warship to transport them anywhere. And whose backs were broken by these inane labours? Whose blood spilt for the gluttonous joys of the slaver lords of the east? Baratheons did not forget! For they know that the apparatus of the State is ultimately for the protection of its People. So he came to me.

Our forefathers embarked on the greatest exodus in the history of all mankind. An exodus for freedom, Westeros became that freedom. In the time he has given me, I have reunited our people, bringing them home and reminding the entire world that no Westerosi can remain chained!

And yet! Despite the righteousness of our king, who does not slake his lusts in incestuous gambits, or feed the good people that believe in the gods, old and new, there are those among his subjects that plot the return of the dragonspawns. Brothers! Sisters! Shall we be chained once more under the weight of the dragons, all because Pentoshi cheesemongers, Braavosi bankers, and Lyseni bird-trainers believe it to be right? Will we abandon our newly found primacy in the world only to return to the time of the Mad Targaryens?

The Stag has gained a Tallon, and woe befall those who would seek to deprive the freedom of any Westerosi! From this day, we will stand united once more. On this day, those driven to divide and conquer us will hear our voice! On this day, we shall act as one, and we shall be ignored NO MORE! Defenders of the Westerosi dream, NOW IS OUR TIME!"

>Robert Baratheon, Father of His Peoples, stood up against the dragon-lords once their weakened bloodline could no longer sire live eggs from their incestuous bodies.
I'd change this, "once their injustice became unbearable and personal, those twisted men breaking oaths of god and men".

>Stannis held down the vast majority of the Dragon-lovers' horde while subsisting on onions and carrots;
Bit of an odd detail.

>So he came to me.
No. Nope. Not happening. We're not changing history to see that this was ordered by him. This was undertaken by us, damn the consequences and we shall be known as the breaker-of-chains: not him.


6/10 for the effort anon.

Hum, perhaps we could set up latrine for the smallfolk during the festivity using Targaryen flag as toilet paper and have our standard bearers during the parade have two flag, one Baratheon, the other Talon, with the baratheon being above the talon on the pole.

Kek, literally have the smallfolk shit on the Targ.
>>
>>3571047
Toilet paper hasn't been invented yet. Also, that is likely seen to be in poor taste and would set an inconvenient precedent.
>>
>>3571075
Ahhh, alright.
Back to just burning then :/
If only we had made a flammenwerfer, we could burn it with style at least :(
>>
I'd rather not directly shit on the Targs. It puts too big of a target on our family's back and I'd like to keep options open just in case.
In my opinion, we should keep it brief and simple. Talk about our crusades and how "the crown graciously supported them, paying passage and ensuring our people got home." Play up both ourselves and the Crown's role in this without actually coming out and saying anything either way loyalty wise.
If we want to direct attention at anything, point out how we sent the slaves to be taken in and returned by the church, but due to the corruption of the higher echelon they aren't even suited to care for themselves much less the people or something. Focus on pushing reformation as we play up our deeds and the crown's.
>>
>>3571109
Yeah, pretty much this. Pro-Baratheon is fine, but maybe lay off the anti-Targ sentiment.

Don't forget most of our family's friends & allies are former (or at least 'former') Targaryen-ists; we need to walk a careful line, here.
>>
>>3571109
>without actually coming out and saying anything either way loyalty wise.

Yeah no, that isn’t going to fly, the entire deal with Jon Was to make our loyalties clear in front of a crowd, we cannot NOT say anything about it.
You can definitely play down the anti targ stuff if you want, but it most definitely has to be here if you don’t want to be seen as trying to shaft the crown.
>>
>>3571109
Anon we explicitly agreed to give a symbol of loyalty. At the very least we need to make some sort of public sign of this fact. I suggest giving the King a pair of our biggest cannons or a discount on purchasing some (20% off or something similarly big) or something.
>>
>>3570804
Something more subdued. Talk about the misdeeds of a mad king and the unjust and cruel treatment the Starks suffered. Then how Bobby rode in and saved the realm and how the newly freed men are in good hands under their liege and how Prince Stannis is working to weed out any criminals at home. Basically talk about how shit Aerys was and how Bobby fixed everything and is actually the best king since non-sliced bread.

No shitting on or burning of targ flags, no figurine smashing etc. We dont have to act like a child and we already showed the common folk what a great dude we are. We can show them what a great dude Bobby is without becoming Joffrey.

That seems wise, basically just doing a role-call of everyone that is doing good shit and highlighting we're loyal to them because, unlike the Targs, they are actually competent and seemingly care.
>>
>>3571253
I am pretty sure by burning the Starks, the Targ broke the implicit agreement between a feudal lord and his liege, and basically lost legitimacy, might want to talk about that as well.
>>
>>3571259
Good point. A lot more weighty arguments can be talked about instead of having a tantrum.
>>
>>3571259
Oh yeah, not to mention the whole "they kidnapped a man's woman, he (Robert) was entirely justified in fucking them up" thing.

Honestly our whole shtick is basically "The previous royals were incompetent, corrupt, decadent, profligates and probably heretics. The new royals are competent, decent and seriously making a difference to the people, why in all that is holy wouldn't we be loyal?".
>>
>>3571253
This sounds good. We should focus on Aerys and Rhaegar specifically, those being the two Targs that went full retard in recent memory. No need to shit on Dany as she hasn't really done anything (yet) and we made a big deal about the Mountain killing kids even if they were targs.
>>
I still think it would be best to build up king Bob without tearing down the Targs (as much as possible, anyway). We don't want to alienate all our family's closest associates & leave them socially & politically isolated.
>>
>>3571228
>>3571253
I'm down for this, let's not go full retard on the Targ-bashing. Even if they are mostly awful.
>>
>>3571530
Well, overall there's a certain nuance I'd always take into consideration and that would be that the Robert's claim to the Iron Throne is based off of his Targaryen blood.

Therefore, while Robert doesn't himself mind the Targ hating, it should be remembered he has Targ blood.

After months of preparation, the time had come for your glorious Triumph.
People from all over the Seven Kingdoms had arrived to bear witness to the rather unusual ceremony that would take place in the Capital.
It was well in the evening and the sun was soon beginning to set and honest people would be out of work by now.

"Is everything in order officer?"
You asked the man in charge of inspecting carriage.
"The Men are at their best, the musicians have their instruments tuned, the singers say they are ready as soon as you give the order."
"And the carriages?"
"The Carriages are well and good milord. The wheels are checked and the paintings and plunder arrangements are in order."
"Standard bearers?"
"All good"
"The Freed men?"
"Wearing their white robes and sandals as requested."
"The Mormonts?"
"Undrilled, but in their uniforms and ready to march at your command."
"The Breadwagons and flower petals?"
"All accounted for milord."
"Have I forgotten anything?"
"We are still awaiting an all-clear from the city itself milord."
Your palms are sweaty and you are dressed at your best, waiting for the OK to start your procession through the Gate of the Gods
"You as nervous as I am Rickar?"
"More so than when we faced the Myrish fleets."
Signal flag was waved from atop the gates
"I guess this is it then. Like we rehearsed."
You pull out a horn and sound it, signaling the beginning of the procession

"ESCORTS! FOOORWARD! MARCH!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itQuGl3CC9U

The thunder of boots marching as one could be heard echoing across the land as the first procession made their way towards the city under the rhythm of a grim military march, display the determination of your people.

Sadly, you lacked the talent for composing music yourself, so you had to make do with whatever the local composers could do for you, and you did go through many until you came upon one that would be fitting for this Roman-esque procession.
>>
[ 2 ]

"ESCOOORTS! HALT!"
You cry out from top of your lungs as your procession reaches the gates of the King's Landing and the music stops

"ME AND MY MEN SEEK PASSAGE TO OUR CAPITAL IN TRIUMPH!"

"WHO ARE YOU THAT WOULD REQUEST SUCH A THING!"

"I AM SER ARTHUR TALLON, LORD OF PORT MAW, INITIATE OF 21 LINKS, AND A CRUSADING KNIGHT OF THE REALM!"

"AND WHAT FOES HAVE YOU BESTED THAT YOU SHOULD ENTER IN TRIUMPH?"

"I SANK THE TYROSHI WARFLEETS, OUTNUMBERED THREE HUNDRED TO ONE AT THE SHORES OF THEIR CITY AND LIBERATED OUR COUNTRYMEN FROM ABOMINABLE BONDAGE OF SLAVERY!"
You extend a hand towards your procession
"I REPEATED THE SAME IN MYR, WHERE WE WERE OUTNUMBERED SIX HUNDRED TO ONE!"
"IN LYS THEY WOULD NOT EVEN FACE US, SETTING LOOSE OUR COUNTRYMEN AT MERE THREAT OF OUR WRATH! SUCH DEEDS HAVE WE PERFORMED!"

"YOUR VICTORIES ARE MANY! ENTER IN PEACE SER ARTHUR TALLON! FOR THE KING HAS HEARD OF YOUR DEEDS AND WOULD SEE YOU FOR HIMSELF! THE GATES OF KING'S LANDING ARE OPEN FOR YOU!"

Once the Gate was opened, you signaled, for the procession to continue moving, this time, the oppressive beat of marching music would change to the singing of men, the change in tone symbolizing the end of hostilities and beginning of their lives as freed men.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYb9sRLUDyM

The Road was cleared for your procession to advance unobstructed until you reached Cobbler's square where a member of the Kingsguard was waiting.

"ESCORTS! HALT!"

"I KNOW YOU TO BE SER ARYS OAKHEART! WE MET AS SQUIRES IN HARRENHAL! WELL MET!"
"WOULD IT BE SO! TO MEET WITH THE KING YOU MUST MAKE A DIFFICULT CHOICE!"

"WILL YOU TURN YOUR BACK TO THE TARGARYEN FLAG AND PICK UP KING ROBERT'S BANNER?"
"OR WIL THEE STAND IN DEFIANCE AGAINST HIM AND RAISE THE DRAGON BANNER?"
>>

"TIS BUT NO CHOICE AT ALL!"
You take the Targaryen banner and the crowd gasps.

"A KING WHO SPITS UPON THE FEALTY OF HIS SUBJECTS IS NO KING AT ALL!"
You say as you thrust the banner to a brazier, conveniently placed between the two banners, setting the Targaryen banner alight.

"ALL HAIL KING ROBERT BARATHEON! FIRST OF HIS NAME! LET MADNESS NEVER BLIGHT HIS HOUSE!"
You say as you wave the Golden Banner of House Baratheon
As you wave the banner, your men chant.
"ALL HAIL!"
"ALL HAIL!"
You raise your hand to quiet them down.

"YOU HAVE CHOSEN YOUR KING WISELY! YOU MAY PASS!"
As he says that, the Goldcloaks part, leading to a throne upon a tall wooden pedestal covered in silks erected at Cobbler's Square for King Robert to sit upon.
As you approach, the music starts playing once again changing to one to elevate tension in the air.

Your men marched onwards, flanked by Gold Cloaks as you moved towards him, looking at him in the eyes in the high throne whereupon King Robert sat on, watching down on your approach until you and your brother were nearly at the footsteps of the stairs to ascend upon him and then you drew your blade.

You dropped on one knee and knelt before your king, presenting your sword in his service across your hands. Like a row of dominoes behind you, your men knelt, one row after another, their gazes to the ground as they did so and the rustle of their gear could be heard behind you.

The King arose from his throne and walked down to meet you, putting a hand on your shoulder.

"Quite the mummer's farce this is."
"It was your hand who requested a display of support. I serve at your leisure."

He takes the blade from your hands

"DO YOU PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THESE MEN HAVE DONE!?"
He says with a booming voice, going off-script
"SURE YOU HAVE! WHO HASN'T BY NOW?"
"ANYONE WOULD THINK IT A TALE FOR CHILDREN WHERE GOOD ALWAYS TRIUMPHS OVER EVIL, BUT BY THE GODS THEY ARE REAL AND THEY HAVE WON!"

He walks to your brother

"YOUR NAME?"
"Rickar Tallon, your grace."
"Speak up lad, they can't hear you elsewise."
"RICKAR TALLON, YOUR GRACE!"
"NOT ANYMORE YOU'RE NOT!"
He taps him to the shoulders with your sword
"ARISE A KNIGHT SER RICKAR!"
"AND REST OF YOU CAN RISE TOO!"

He comes over to you and returns your blade to you, which you slide to your scabbard.

"CITY WATCH! WE'LL MARCH WITH THEM! THIS IS VICTORY FOR THERE WHOLE BLOODY CONTINENT AND I'LL BE DAMNED IF I'LL THE FESTIVITIES!"

"TALLONS! TODAY YOU RIDE WITH THE KING OF ANDALS, RHOYNAR AND THE FIRST MEN!"

An open topped Royal carriage is brought forth and you and your brother board it with the King, escorted by the Kingsguard.
>>
[ 5 ]

The Parade marches on, singing songs of freedom and arrogant songs of war and victory until you reached the Main Square of King's Landing, which was blocked by a long silk ribbon.

"Finally we are here. I've been looking forward to this ever since I heard there's going to be a wine fountain."
"Free Beer, Wine and Bread for all who attend, but naturally, we get the first taste."
"As is only proper! This is going to be a party to remember! On top of all this stuff you're pulling off, we're having a right and proper feast at the Red Keep! Places of Honor for the two of you!"
The three of you climb down from the carriage.
"Would your grace do the honors?"
You say, holding a part of the ribbon
"Ser Barristan! Lend me your sword."
You and Rickar grip the ribbon from opposing sides to create tension for it as the King swings the blade to sever it in twain before entering the faire grounds and grabbing a drink from the fountain, moving past the many stalls and stores set up in the square.

"To Victory and just causes"
"I'll drink to that."
"This wine is terrible Lord Arthur."
"It's for getting drunk, it's no Arbor red. Quantity over Quality in this case. Always was more partial of beer to begin with."
"Good enough for peasants and soldiers, can't argue with that."

You throw the cups to the ground and stomp on them before moving on and resuming the Parade, marching down the muddy way and up the Street of Steel to Great Sept of Baelor to give thanks to the God of War for Victory as Romans did during their time.

Every soldier, escort and hanger-on with your parade would like you, take a drink from a fountain and smash the clay cup, partially signifying that they could afford such frivolous spending, partially because it seemed fun at the time.

As you reached the Fishmonger square, a choice was given to those who held the Old Gods to not partake in the Religious part of the ceremony and instead mind the guns and fireworks until they whole thing was over and they'd get shore leave. More followed you than stayed behind for whatever reasons.

And so you and your escorts marched, through the street of steel atop Visenya's hill, the hangers on distributing bread to the workers as you marched on with some freed men and soldiers more beholden to their own Gods staying behind.

The Gates of the Great Sept of Baelor opening in front of you and your arms were traded in for scented candles by the holy brothers by the statue of Baelor the Blessed as you rose the marble steps of the building, through the hall of lamps and underneath the enormous glass and crystal dome, built to the scale to rival Saint Peter's Basilica.

The Holy Brothers escorted you through to the Warrior's Altar where the walls were painted with many Legendary figures of the past, such figures as Galladon of Morne and Cerwyn the Mirror Shield. Funnily enough, their deeds do not seem so great in wake of what you have accomplished.

The Morbidly obese High Septon was holding a gilded ball on chain which wafted the smoke of incense into the air, wearing his crystal crown and fine silken robes. He seems to be sweating a bit as well.

"The Divines are pleased with what you all have accomplished. There is no question that the Seven who are one will not have a place of honor for all of you in the heavens, for so has it been since the days of Hugor of the Hill that Slavery is the greatest abomination before the Gods! And that those who fight against it are blessed and favored above all the faithful!"

"What more proof is there needed than these miracles that the God spit upon the slaver? For did they not sent you men unto this earth to punish them for their wickedness!"

"And for doing the will of Gods, you shall be rewarded, for..."

The Septon then went on to a long winded speech about how nobody escapes the Father's Judgement, how the Mother's Mercy reaches all in time, speaking in such a way that it began to sound more akin to a theological thesis than an actual speech.

"...and therefore, I am privileged be the mediator of the God's Blessings for you, Step forth and be blessed Ser Arthur Tallon."

You step up to the altar where you were called to kneel and the High Septon re-anointed you as a Knight with Seven Oils.

"For your heroic deeds in service of the Gods, your name shall forever be recorded within the Great Sept's archives as a True Knight of the Faith."
He then signals with his hand to one of the Altar boys.
"Ser Arthur Tallon, I name you a Paragon of Divine Virtue, and I charge within your care a holy item from our reliquary, the Amulet of Baelor the Blessed."

It was a small wooden box with a glass lid containing a silver pendant with a small ruby in the middle.

"It is said Baelor the Blessed wore this pendant throughout his life when he performed his miracles. You are entrusted to build a sept to house it and to keep it safe from harm."

True but this does have some serious potential benefits. I mean if nothing else we'll get a constant influx of pilgrims to see such a important artefact (not to mention the holy lord who holds it). Plus it'll be useful against any religious sorts.

Plus maybe if we're lucky it has some degree of magic attached to it, even if only the basic and bog-standard "actual healing artefact" benefit to healing.

Best place in my opinion to have it? On our person. Yeah sure we build the cathedral/Tajma Hall or whatever, but as a DECOY against theives and heretics, while we tote the thing somewhere safe and it gives us bonuses!

I had the same idea. I don't think the clergy will complain if we commission a number of replicas (maybe 7?) with the specific intent of making the real one harder to steal, it would just add to the mystique of our cathedral. This way we can keep one on display in public for the smallfolk to ogle and no one will look sideways at us for wearing a "fake" one. We can make a show of bringing out the real one whenever a special event or ceremony arises.

>>3576571
>Trappist sept
That's a great idea, as well as the faith of the 7 we could have them focus on practical things like healing and brewing. Might also be a good way of giving the smallfolk a public education. I think we can drop the vow of silence though.

"If that is what the gods will."
He puts his hand on your shoulder and bellows
"Be blessed and arise! May the seven who are one watch over you and protect you from evil!"

You rise, light your candle and place it on the Warrior's altar and move on out of the central part of the temple as the High Septon proceeded to anoint and bless your brother before blessing each of the men who followed you individually.

The Ceremony lasted a while, blessing hundreds of men would still take easily couple of hours, but if gave you a chance to sit at one of the pews and marvel at the architecture.

Shortly afterwards, Rickar arrived and came to take a seat next to you as men came pouring out in about 15 second intervals.
"So, feeling holier yet?"
He thinks for a moment before speaking out
"I can feel this is a somber and holy place. Much love has been given to it's care and construction."
"It's well built, I give them that. Albeit, I do believe more fasting would help the health of our High Septon."
"Perhaps he wishes not to share the fate of Baelor."
He responds tactfully
"Fair enough I suppose."
You look to the sky through the glass dome and notice the stars are starting to appear.
"It's soon time for the fireworks and cannon salute, after which a solid few days of partying."
"That it is. It's been quite an adventure."
"You hear about the lands you're getting yet?"
"It's an Island with a Castle in some minor disrepair. Supposedly belonged to one of the Knights of Aegon long time ago."
"You need anything to settle in?"
"Well, I could do with a proper ship truth be told, and someone to teach me how to sail."
"I'll see what I can do. Prince Stannis should have many people under his service who are of maritime persuasion. Ser Davos is a good man and knows his stuff for one."
"The Onion Knight?"
"That's the one. Also, don't mind Stannis' dour disposition, he is a harsh man, but as long as you keep your nose clean, there's niot going to be problems on that end. He has a sense of honor. He doesn't really like the game."
"I'll keep that in mind."

After an hour or so, the last of the men made it through and you led them outside where they were returned their arms. You all took a nice position on the side of Visenya's hill in the Sept's Garden and sat with eyes to the docks down below.

Shortly afterwards, the bells of the Great Sept began to ring and once they were finished, the sound of gunfire could be heard in the distance. The Ship had began it's broadside ripple and once it was done, cheers could be heard all the way up to the Great Sept itself.

Following the gun barrage, rockets began flying to the sky, simple ones for sure, but in great number. Several hundred of them were launched across the ocean, big and small, in nearly continuous barrage, filling the air with sound of explosions and the night sky with sparks and smoke.

[ 2 ]

The Central square was packed with people partaking in revelry. Even the High Septon himself had come out to watch the spectacle.

The Party had officially started.

Once the fireworks were done, the procession returned to the ship to return their guns and for most, it was time for shore leave.
The Ship was heavily guarded during the Parade as well to prevent anyone from entering or exiting, albeit not by your men sadly. Still, the hatches and doors were locked to prevent entry without blowing a hole into the ship or breaking a window, which hadn't happened.

You and your brother however, would continue on to Red Keep to drink and dine with the King for a few more days.

There is nowhere to hide and our little brother is with us. As his older brother we have to protect him, or we would shame our family.

STAND PROUD, FIGHT BACK. FIRE!
>>
>>3578806
To be honest anon, I'm amazed it took them this long to get an assassin in position. What really pisses me off is we're probably not going to find out who hired him and that complicates matters since it will prevent counter-strikes or having the crown attack them assuming this isn't an attack by the crown but if it is jesus they are bad.

>>3578810
Probably. I mean it is a heavy crossbow and we aren't wearing our Commissar uniform (I think) which means no major protection. Although if we are wearing that then we should be fine so long as it hits us in the breastplate.

I expect the guards are provided by our family in the reach, just to be on the safe side all things considered.

>>3578819
Aye but we can't exactly go to each of those best bets blasting apart their holdings. We need a honest to christ confession from the assassin. That way if it someone in the seven kingdoms we've got reasonable cause to demand the crown strip them of everything and give us a little something for our troubles / getting rid of such a piece of shit / non-loyalist.

If it's outside the seven kingdoms, then they just fired on a near-saint of the seven and a lord of the seven kingdoms. Which pretty much gives us justification to start Crusade 2: this time it's personal.

I mean there is still a chance we will make this work. It's not like the guy's going to make his shot 100% now, we've still got the possibility he misses or, if we fire before him, that he decides to run now that people are aware of him.

The Good news is that you've got a double barreled gun.

Bad news is that he is in cover, this is outside of your gun's normal range and it's evening and getting dark, so actually hitting will be difficult, especially since he is in cover.

Luckily, this kinda does apply to him as well, although you don't get a cover bonus.

See, the ludicrous amount of cash would have allowed us to hire whomever to train us in whatever we wanted. Plus, all that wealth meant we could have seriously expediated tech in all fields, from figuring out concrete and dynamite to percussion caps and how to make a motorcycle on a ghetto budget. Instead this lifetime gave us the knowledge of how to make ridiculously big engines we wont have the cash or time to make and a steam whistle. Besides, I was never for nationalism and that was more a counterpoint to an anon before me, as noted by the problems I brought up.

Willpower, healing and knowledge. That way we can exit childhood next life having spent as little time as possible learning from any teachers, if any, we have and can focus as much as possible on improving our physical form and developing ourselves in other regards like actual skills.

>this whole life was for nothing
Anon, we're a immortal without the benefit of continuing from the same life, everything we do eventually amounts to nothing as we are just as ever-lasting as the grass in the fields. What is eternal is our pleasure and our achievements. Even if only in our hearts and minds.

>>3579696
Clearly what we should do is spend this new life just practising every skill we can. Not even trying to advance particularly in regards to social position. Just years of fighting, stealing, trading, travelling, learning and leading. Being a tinker, tailor, soldier, spy and every other position under the sun.

I want to give being a thief a go. I want to give being a knight a go. I want to give being a poacher a go. I want to see if we can't make a decent life as a artist or as a minstrel before we next approach trying to be a maker of wonders and a changer of worlds.

Plus, in another 22 years of existing we reach age 100 and get magic. Then we can really start messing about with interesting shit and maybe even make some choice investments in unnatural knowledge or power to back ourselves.

>>3580008
Did you know as a vassal during a war you can't try and fight for your independence?

Like if, for example, your massively weaker (their strongest fleet was 2K, I was working on a second fleet when my first was 24 K+) overlord that you only obey because fighting for your independence when they demand nothing of you and aren't integrating you and your nation is a pacifist agrarian idyll that has only ever fought wars with the bastards to the south (exterminators, who wiped out an entire colony, I returned the favour by forcibly removing their entire species from their worlds as I "expanded" into them which was as aggressive a action as I was allowed) seems inappropriate.

They declared war on an awoken ascendancy that bordered my north (where my fleets were not) that had joined a coalition created by the steppe space folk after they went democratic when their great khan died which was filled with some of the strongest nations in-galaxy.


So now I am stuck in what is effectively a war of extermination, as the fallen empire and it's allies automatically seize my systems when they attack me because of the nature of the war, one which I can't escape because I can't break my vassal-ship and I can't therefore get out this damn war. All the while my fleets aren't strong enough to win the fight and my overlord is so much weaker than me it ain't funny anymore.
>>
>>3580024
>your nation is a pacifist agrarian idyll
First mistake.

Never be prey when you can be a hunter or forceful lover of Xenos. Never.
>>
>>3580031
I wanted to play something vastly different from my usual "materialist-militarist" nation and I'd always heard that agrarian idyll was interesting. It honestly is a vastly different way of playing and I found it genuinely interesting how I ended up having too much housing and not enough jobs.

Plus I had set the activation dates for the end game / mid game crisis's at the earliest years possible. My assumption was the galaxy was going to basically all die outside my borders to whatever happened and I'd just need to expand out into whatever voids came into existence. Not to mention I was easily at my admin-cap constantly without much expansion because I like playing the tech game so war held little benefit.

>Never be prey when you can be a hunter or forceful lover of Xenos. Never.
I was entirely capable of performing offensive wars. I merely decided not to given most of the galaxy around me were similarly democratic, peaceful or spiritual. Hell the exterminators were spiritual about their exterminations too and if they hadn't attacked my colony I'd genuinely have left them alone.

Quest players are so fucking predictable it is not funny anymore, as soon as I saw the vote (I wasn't there when voting started), I knew that shooting would win, even though it is a stupid decision. The worst thing is that I am not sure if I would have vote otherwise.
On the other hand, I think the situation was not explained adequately to us at the moment (like our chances of hitting and being hit, the environment and the tactical situation)
>>
>>3580374
>>3580473
To be honest, I mostly voted for firing on the man under the assumption that he was still loading (based off the image OP used), meaning we'd have a bit more time to aim, fire and then dodge if needed. Assuming he didn't decide to bolt from getting shot at and all that.

I thought that the other option was merely going to grant a "in-cover" bonus as is described by the system / outright prevent being fired on (at least for a time) and honestly I felt we had pretty good chances. I mean assuming the value we had to roll was even as high as 18 (that is to say, "very hard" or the 2nd hardest one listed in the books), we still roll that about 25% of the time even before account for the ability to drop the worst roll and shit.

I also entirely forgot to consider the possibility of him poisoning his bolt. In hindsight, that was the single biggest flaw of my decision.

This is why you always go tech and spam citadels while having no fleet.

Personally had an ascended synth run go tits up when a bug caused me to be unable to build more pops and relocating synths to ring worlds was hampered by the fact that if a colony was ever emptied the game would crash. Somehow, the AI also decided I wanted to accept all the galaxies refugees. Fuck if I know why. You have the Cybrex relic and no way to use it, the game *refuses* to assemble pops and if you ever tamper with population rules it will purge all robots. Fun.
>>
>>3580511
Yeah, as fun as it can be the game has a fair bit of problems where AI's behave strangely or a fault in the core-logic of the system see shit just fall apart. I know it is relatively hard to test for and solve most of this stuff but that hardly makes it any easier to accept that I'm fucked in that save now and there's nothing I can reasonably do to stop it.

I forgot to mention, they (the awoken ascendancy) took a colony off me, one that produced more or less my entire supply of alloys because I'd unlocked a planetary construction that made concentrated industry extremely efficient (15% to all metallurgists or something). Which means not only am I down that planet's population in terms of food and other resources but I lost my ability to rebuild or strengthen my fleet.
>>
>>3580525
kek

Build more Dyson Spheres and trade for everything. 2000 credits for 200 Alloys sounds a lot but when you are making 4800 off of every sphere its pretty meh.
>>
>>3580528
Not reasonably possible I'm afraid. The timescale of the game didn't really allow for the construction of anything like that thanks to the accelerated timescale I put it on (0.25 tech / tradition cost, mid and late game crisis starting early as possible (the khanate rose about 25-30 years after game start)).

I'd only started building a science nexus when this war started and I was already struggling to think of a way to accelerate the construction speed of that besides massive industrial expansion.
>>
>>3580473
My bad, you did know it was fairly dark, but I shoulda specified the distance of the shot too.

Part of the confusion was because I had to look up the rules.
Essentially, the shadowy light conditions ended up knocking off a dice and the the long range shot ended up knocking another.

This paired with the fact that cover bonus against ranged in a city is +5 meant it was really hard for you to actually hit him, but conversely, had you taken cover, he also wouldn't have likely been able to hit you.
>>
Jesus. Does the assassin have the willpower of Hercules? A lesser man would have hesitated, missed, buckled, whatever, when he got shot at with a strange weapon he can barely begin to understand.
He had to overcome that initial shock, actually hit his target, and then we had to fail rolling to survive poison.
We're obviously meant to die here if all the stars align like that. Oh well.
>>
>>3580560
Yeah all that feels like something you might've wanted to mention. I mean my understanding of all this was that we:

1) Start everything at 9 AM
2) Reach the sept at 10-11 AM
3) Leave at the head of the next procession at maybe 2-3 PM.
4) Take sight of the assassin loading his crossbow

You're talking about us dropping 2 dice which we were unaware of and a bonus to cover for him and us. It's slightly questionable but honestly it's up to you how you want to handle this now and in future in terms of details and consequences.
>>
I'm gonna be entirely honest, I was expecting you to survive this and retreat to you hermit kingdom in the North.
>>
>>3580568
You didn't start it in the morning, you started it in the afternoon when people had gotten off from work and then proceeded well into the evening until it was about to turn to night.
>>
>>3580572
So what you are saying is this is a situation where none of us expected this outcome (even you), which only came about because anons voted with only partial information as to the situation in a situation which was mostly meant to resolve fairly well but scare us off to the north?

I don't know man, I leave it to you.
>>
>>3580574
That makes a fair bit of sense, I'll grant you that.
>>
>>3580575
I mean even with this choice the dude needed to roll above average to actually hit you and then needed to get 3 degrees of success against your passive endurance.
>>
>>3580580
Yeah this entire situation was a bit fucked...again though I don't feel comfortable really giving any definite and concrete advice as to what to do since this is, at the end of the day, your ship to steer.
>>
Essentially your CD with the smoke was like 13 I think and he rolled with the penalties.

He had 4 Marksmanship and 1 Bonus dice with one Marksmanship dice knocked off from the darkness.

He was more likely to miss than to actually hit.

Well, I can't exactly take it back in the end, because that sets a terrible precedent.

>>3580584
True. Yet if we accept that fact as a hard rule, then there is very little you CAN do to deal with this besides accept the consequences or maybe offer some sort of compensation, not for the death, for the lack of information anons had.

Main point is, we're dead. That or comatose or so damn near-either that it doesn't matter. So do you want me to start rolling for our next life's spawn or do you want to continue to agonise over a decision you've already accepted you can't intervene in the results of?

I already stated my assignment of our gains but, just for the sake of clarity, my votes are: Willpower, healing and knowledge. That way we can exit childhood next life having spent as little time as possible learning from any teachers, if any, we have and can focus as much as possible on improving our physical form and developing ourselves in other regards like actual skills or networking.

You pull out your gun and take a shot immediately, scaring the guards, the horses drawing your carriage and your brother.

As the smoke of your gun filled then air, a projectile shot from the crossbow flew through through the air towards you, grazing your shoulder.

"ASSASSIN!"
Rickar shouted as your muscles began to seize up and twitch
"We have to get out of here!"
He says pulling you off the carriage as the goldcloaks surrounded you from all sides.
"He's been poisoned! We need a Maester!"
"You two, carry him to a safehouse! You! Get help and sound the alarm! You follow him and don't let him escape! Rest of you, Protect Lord Arthur, if he dies, it's our heads!"

As the numbness began to spread to your face, you lost your consciousness and would not wake again. Your greatest moment followed by your lowest.

Your younger brother would come to inherit much of your fortune, taking your place in Port Maw and ruling where you ruled. Having lost his faith in the Seven, he returned the relic to the High Septon, refusing to build a temple to gods that had abandoned their champion.

He would later come to marry the granddaughter of Wyman Manderly and have five children with her. He would rarely if ever leave his holdings and spent much of his life chasing after your shadow and built a crypt to house your corpse.

The Great wealth in Port Maw lead to an era of rebuilding where each house would be built in stone during your brother's reign, his rule and lineage respected to the end of his days. He would be known as Lord Rickar the Good.

Guns and Powder remained an export in great demand for generations, and the legacy of machinery you left behind both puzzled and inspired many Maesters. The Monopoly on guns and powder remains under tight control of House Tallon who to this day maintain a reputation of excellence and reliability.

Your family in the Reach grew far more powerful in wealth and influence thanks to your legend and the treasure you left behind. The Warnings you left to your elder brother lead both him and Rickar to be well prepared for the Winter.
Both Rickar and Bobbert would raise great castles to their name and become increasingly rarer sight in highborn society.

After your death, Lord Varys would gain full credit for apprehending the assassin. He was given the greatest punishment within the confines of law. Death by Torture. He perished after losing his mind due to four years of continuous torture, but not before crown could extract from him all he knew.
Prince Joffrey took special interest in this case.

As the Goldcloaks who guarded you could identify the Assassin and thus assisted in his conviction, they were given the option to take the black as punishment for such a gross failure in their duties.

The Crown would continue to accumulate debt and Robert in his frustration decided to follow your example in order, choosing to back Jalabhar Xho and install him as King of Summer Isles after securing the support of House Tallon in this affair.

Lord Rickar begrudgingly lent the Hammer of the Waters to the royal fleet, along with supplying them with guns and cannons on credit, with the understanding that he'd be paid back from treasure from Summer Isles.

The Campaign was a success and Summer Islands would come to be ruled by a King once more, one that would put an end to such outdated practices as ritual combat and repeated banishments, restructuring the country as a feudal monarchy, not unlike Westeros, whilst paying tribute to King Robert in form of gems and various other treasures for the rest of his days in order to maintain their alliance. An Island rich with Emeralds was granted to your house in return for their services which would come to be ruled by your nephew.

War would come to engulf Westeros at a later date, but it would take a very different form from what you had known. King Robert would also come to perish at a much later date.

Legends of your life would continue to cause ripples for thousands of years in the history of Westeros and you would be known as Arthur the Great, the last Hero before the return of Dragons. Books telling of your life would come to spread across the known world, enshrining you as a figure whom many would come to chalk off as mere myth.

The Citadel would come to give rise to an Arthurian faction which would speak in favor of experimentation and innovation over conservative preservation of knowledge.

7 - Qohor
8 - Tyrosh

Give me 3d12, you can pick a starting location from them.

They're the most basic bitch Free City next to Pentos. Myr has industry as well as innovation and Lys has its dragon blood besides its pretty slaves.

+1 to Will to get the neccessary iron Will to become swole as fuck (which means we wont be easy to bully or poison) and resist mindfuckery.

Braavos, great place to get some water dancing lessons and fighting experience (duels at night are a perfect place to practice and get payed for it as well).

Also might be important from thread 1

Rank 0 ? Lacking
Lacks the capacity to perform the actions or even roll for it.
Humans have at least rank 1 in each ability.

Rank 1 ? Deficient
Routine tasks are a challenge for you. Generally speaking you suffer from a disability if you have this.

Rank 2 ? Average
Average. Most folks in Westeros have abilities at this range. You can handle routine tasks with ease and can manage most challenges, given enough time.
Certain things are beyond your ability. You're never going to hit anyone on rank 6 with rank 2 fighting.

Rank 3 ? Talented
A cut above the common person, having rank 3 in an ability means you have a special knack and find tasks related to the ability far easier than other folks do. Talented can also imply a minimum amount of training, such as a few hours put in with the practice sword or having ridden a horse a few times in your life.
Generally grants you enough experience to be dangerous.

Rank 4 ? Trained
At rank 4, you have trained extensively in the ability, combining your natural talents with extensive training. Your skill in this ability far exceeds that of the average individual, and you can confidently tackle challenging taskas without trouble and, with little luck, can pull off some amazing stunts.

Rank 5 ? Accomplished
Intensive training coupled with natural talent places you far above the common man. In fact, people with rank 5 are often the best at what they do in many areas, having surpassed their peers in their craft.

Rank 6 ? Master
By rank 6, you are considered one of the best in the world at what you do. People seek you out to learn, to improve their training, or to simply meet you. Only a rare few individuals attain rank 6 in any ability, much less two or more.

Rank 7 ? Paragon
Paragon represents height of human potential, the limit of mortal achievement, at least for most. Rank 7 is as high as any can hope to achieve. So rare is this rank, people with this level of ability are considered legends.

Rank 8 or higher ? Mythic
It's typically not possible for a mortal character to have more than rank 7 in any ability, though there are certainly exceptions, such as those bold men and women from Age of Heroes, such as Brandon the Builder and Lann the Clever. Examples that are more contemporary include Nymeria, Aegon the Conqueror, and plenty of other figures. Characters at Rank 8 or higher are the exception to the rule. Outside humans, all sorts of creatures may have rank 8 or higher abilities. Dragons can exceed rank 8 in athletics, Endurance and Fighting.

>>3581446

Nah senpai, it's honestly quite appropriate. I mean imagine if this was a book series: you are following the character in his efforts to make a better Westeros, to prevent tragedy and suffering and bring about a better future. Then, just as he grasps the power needed to end a age of death, destruction and darkness. Just as he walks the precipice of making his previous achievements seem small, he is taken down by an assassin and forced to start the climb back up again.

It's a bit of a cockblock of a arc but if done right, which this was, it's entirely appropriate. It shows that, no matter how amazing the man and what he has planned, he must prepare and plan around that which wants to kill him for everything he is and does. We showed just the same flaw as so many other great men in history. Only difference is now we get another shot, to get shot, so to speak.

>>3581339
>Also, because you had such a good life, I'm granting you 1 extra skill point to put wherever you want.
Give me a point in knowledge QM.


I know a lot of people want to get shit like Will or Fighting or so on but I must advise we only really consider the skills we currently have at level 5-6 as worth investing this final free-level into. Since the distance between each successive level grows ever greater, the investment in improving our will to 5 might very well make us much more capable but would it take anywhere near the same amount of time to achieve independently compared to Knowledge or Healing 7?

Plus if we are going to be fighting, with our current skill level plus the bonus OP grants us against most people for being an immortal (thus meaning we take risks others wouldn't, making us unpredictable and shit), we will be fine with what we have and would honestly fairly quickly probably rank up to 5.
>>
>>3581652
>knowledge
Take healing so we can cure greyscale and get into fleshcrafting and w/e.
Knowledge is good for researching but we need money for that.
>>
>>3581414
Are these the stats for the life that just ended or the one that is starting?
>>
>>3581682
True but with an additional rank of knowledge we are going to be Rank 7. Something that is basically unheard of in-universe. The "limits of human potential" and all that.

Which means that, realistically speaking, we will learn languages in days, comprehend skills in weeks and master shit without too much investment. We might not get as much initial or as quick a boost as we would from medicine but we would get a lot from it long term especially if we decide to do a lot more alchemy / chemistry.

Plus, we could become a surgeon in the employment of a mercenary company if we want to grind medicine since that will give us a healthy supply of injured friendlies to heal, dead to dissect and enemies to...study.

It would be interesting and it would give us opportunities to study necromancy and the living forms of men while also levelling up warfare, fighting and so on.
>>
>>3581718
And awareness/survival as well. Skills we really could use more of.
>>
>>3581698
It would take an entire lifetime of study to get 6 to 7.
Healing is a very easy way to get rewards.
Curing Shireen of Greyscale is basically a free lordship.
And Healing 7 is the path to biological immortality
No more starting from nothing.
>>
>>3581730
>It would take an entire lifetime of study to get 6 to 7.
Potentially more than that depending on how unlucky you get.

>Healing is a very easy way to get rewards.
>Curing Shireen of Greyscale is basically a free lordship.
True but I don't really want to do another lordship run. Can't we just take a break to learn and decompress after that ending for our last life? Plus we don't know what year we are spawning in, we might end up spawning after that is a opportunity.

>And Healing 7 is the path to biological immortality
In combination with high will but you aren't wrong.

>No more starting from nothing.
Assuming we don't get shot with deadly poison again.
>>
>>3581728
Yeah. Although I'd argue if we wanted to train survival we'd want to spawn in the Dothraki sea or in the North as a lowborn.
>>
>>3581730
I doubt healing 7 is biological immortality. Just living a decent chunk longer like 20-30 years and feeling good. And thats after figuring out how.
>>
>>3581736
Healing is also the route to creating a magical panacea
>>3581746
Depends how far we go into it.
Valyrians had some crazy shit going on and there are those immortal wizards too.
>>
>>3581755
Healing may be a route to a magical panacea but I'd argue that it will depend on an understanding of magic, alchemy and other such fields too to realistically develop or produce the materials for such a thing.

Plus, Knowledge is the route to damn near everything.

>>
>>3581414
What are some examples of what we'd be able to do with Healing 7/Knowledge 7?
>>
>>3581867
I would like this as well. But given past adventures, probably with knowledge develop a more fuctional steam engline, better armor/weapons with traditional metalurgy better guns/easier precussion caps/potentially forging like a revolver as they are fairly simple. A better boat. A lot a real lot is all anything where we make new things essentially. Main issues is getting thr materials to do it.

Medicine 7. Probably a heart transplant with minimal issues. Basically we are a amazing healer stuck with tech from 800 years ago.but we know how it all works so we can save most people. With alchemy we could probably make things that extend life (without the mercury) or other fancy things.
>>
>>3581881
Basically. The higher we go in knowledge the more capable we are in general in intellectual matters (just from having a larger pool of knowledge, better habits of study, etc). Learning languages and skills, developing new technology, finding answers to questions and all that good shit.

Medicine meanwhile has two major areas of benefit to us: personal and professional. Personally, we can make use of medicine to enhance our lifespan, our resilience to disease or injury and also to enhance our physical capabilities. Professionally, we're talking about basically being a damn near miracle surgeon (limited by the crude nature of the age) and aware of the cures for almost all ailments.

QM has stated that Knowledge doesnt mean we become Tony Stark, rather we have a very good grasp of general knowledge, meaning recalling details of someones family history, what plants live where, general documented practices etc. Its not a genius meter but how much background shit we know. Not tall, but wide. And with Knowledge 6 we are wide as fuck. Personally see Healing 7 with far more applications. QM has also stated that going a Witcher/Qyburn route is an option - spelunking ancient Valyrian ruins and Asshai for arcane secrets to start modifying the body. There was even talk of Regeneration, though that would require a big quest to get.
>>
>>3582521
If we can legit start going the witcher route with medicine 7, I totally want that. We need to find a way to learn true alchemy too.
>>
>>3581980
Supporting Lorath, we can jump to Braavos when the time comes, plus guaranteed to not be fandangled into slavery.
>>
>>3582652
If we do end up starting in Braavos, I'd be interested in trying to apprentice as a Faceless Man. That shit would be useful in any life.
>>
>>3580836
>tmw only Bobbert knew what the fuck he meant

>Bobbert starts laughing between his sobs: Gods Arthur you asshole, leaving the rest of us behind on your next adventure

At least that's what I like to think, that big bro Bob understood. I feel bad for Rickar, we really bonded the last few months and watching us die must have hit him really hard. I'm proud of him though, he did good in his life and I'm glad he ended up our heir. I hope our sister did ok, I always got the feeling she idolized Arthur and his death would be a real blow.

Arthur the Great though, that's got a nice ring to it.

>>3580871
Mah it's cool man. Even though Arthur's end as a lord tallon was bittersweet, he did have a fufilling if short life. His life was full and we left behind some good stuff for the family. You did good.

>>3580836
Kek. I'm supporting this.

Hey Rad, you never did bring up Bob's wife or children, nor did you say how our sister's child grew up.
>>
>>3582731
Bob ended up marrying to Tarlys and had four children, your sister had three.

None of them turned out to be great heroes, but many second sons would attempt to emulate your legend in their own ways for generations to come.

Some would see success whilst others would not. The Fact that you died without children is still seen as a great tragedy, as most speculate a great bloodline would have been born from you.
>>
>>3582735
One day we'll get lucky enough to be reincarnated back into the Arthur timeline. On that day, we go troll Bob some more.
>>
>>3582740
>Reborn as some random peasant
>Realize you were born just after the death of Arthur the Great
>Arthur: Fuck sake
>Quickly get through the next 17 years as best you can

>>
>>3582755
>>3582740
And this is why we should have had a inside joke with Bob to act as a id system for us to be recognized.
>>
>>3582761
We do technically. We can just tell him all the crazy shit Arthur told him, that he never told anyone else.
>>
>>3582755
>>3582761
Just to clarify for the umpteenth time.
We do not reincarnate into the same timeline.
NEW LIFE. NEW TIMELINE.
Rad, please mention this in the next OP before I stab someone for asking.

>>3582735
>but many second sons would attempt to emulate your legend
Aww, that's cute. That really is.
>>

Breathe nigga, I'm making a light hearted comment.
>>
>>3582755
In a way, that would make a campaign that is both hilarious and terrifying to your family, as they essentially got a body snatcher on their side.

Pretending to be your own bastard would be silly.
>>
>>3582805
Man, I'm not sad we didn't get to complete our goals. I'm sad we won't get to hang out with Bob and Rickar more. I suppose that's the biggest drawback with this quest, you get attached to the characters then with a bad roll they don't appear anymore.

One day Rad, I hope you take pity on us and let us return to have more adventures in Arthur's world.

>>
>>3582832
It has one big advantage though - location next to and tight trade with Braavos, a place where nightly duels take place so we can train our Fighting and maybe pick up a couple levels of Water Dancing for the great Awareness and Defense bonuses.
>>
>>3582836
Or we could spawn in the city where we're most likely to be able to get money, Lys, and then just hire someone to train us. I don't honestly think there's many places in the world where we can't train fighting.
>>
So do you people want to imigrante to braavos and turn her into a super power ?
>>
>>3582839
How is Lys better than Braaavos in that respect? Or Myr for that matter? Far as I know the only advantage of Lys is the poisons, since slut culture is not really a focus of the quest.
>>
I really don’t want to risk being born as a prostitute slave in Lys....

>>3582843
Seems irrelevant so far, most likely going to bail on Lys after we milk whatever money we can from them for a better city or maybe even back to Westeros.

>>3582842
I think it's pretty unlikely that we'll be able to access that shit so early on in this life. So I don't think there is any real benefit to being spawned into by all accounts the poorest and weakest of the FCs
>>
>>3582852
What is the plan to "milk money out of Lys"?
>>
>>3582842
Lys is far more of a city for merchants and traders than Tyrosh or Lorath - indeed, it's a city which holds traders in pretty high regard - and we can't pick Braavos or Myr.
>>
>>3582860
Poisons, alchemy and healing so far. My point being that money is the most important step we have early on. Its almost entirely the reason why our last life went so well since it financed the ship which got the ball rolling.

Im not sure Lys is the best place to make money, so far from everything that I have read though, it seems to be a better option than the other two choices.
>>
>>3582862
My bad, Tyrosh, but same same.

Lorath has no slavery and is desparate for something to make them big (like, maybe a new ship design, compasses or distilleries?). If anything, our shit has more pull up there than down in Lys, especially with Bravos nearby. Plus, there we dont have to worry about Mr. Pedo wanting to shag muscle baby to death or pull a Varys on us.

>>3582863
I refer to the points above. The only good thing about Lys is the poisons and the antidotes around them (probably guild). However, that means we need to survive up until that point in one of the most degenerate cities around. Not fun times, especially with our Virgin 100 only 22 years away. Staying in Sex Town is not conducive to that. And its not like we couldnt make cash in Lorath and then sail down to Lys as a man or just import the poisons we need later.
>>
>>3582862
>>3582844
>>3582822
>>3582832
Lys is sex slave central and we as a genius muscle baby will be unique enough to fetch a great price for that market.
Not something we want to risk when we need only 22 years of purity to get the reward that will salve dying during our triumph by avoiding the necessary marriage.
Try and not fuck this up anons.
>>
>>3582864
Ship designs are out, QM himself even confirmed the reason our ship design was worth anything was because of what we did with it. Otherwise it's just some unproven scribbles on paper.

Also I was almost certain the 100 year old virgin was just a meme.
>>
>>3582815
>Tyrosh
>>
>>3582870
Even if we cant convince anyone that the ships are kosher, we still have more than enough shite to make big bucks with a desperate city like Lorath. And yeah, pucker up, only 22 more years to go.
>>
>>3582863
I should remind you that in Free Ciries, not being unionized is quite dangerous since these places are run by guilds.
>>
>>3582875
Medic in a Merc company is the best spot for us. Good pay and constant stream of patients that can afford treatment, plus lots of martial and physical trainers in all kinds of weapons and styles should they not be able to pay.
>>
>>3582879
Could also be a drug dealer I guess. Not like Lyseni opium dens wouldn't be a profitable enterprise and you could later sell the whole operation away to someone else.
>>
>>3582881
What if we got into pig jousting?
>>
>>3582881
Being a criminal in a city famous for its poison will probably end up in an atrocious death.
>>
>>3582881
That way we are going to get a patron fast, if we are a small child that is also a money making machine.

Meanwhile if we run and get to a relatively reliable merc company, being a the miracle medic would mean every single merc in it will be very keen on keeping us alive and inside the merc company, as we are literally their lifeline should they get injured.

We can sell smack on the side to cities we visit if we want to get some extra income but with a merc company at our back a crime lord would definitely think twice before aiming for a kidnap and plug us into a lab for good, since a lot of very angry mercs will descend on the underworld should the best medic they ever met disappeared without a trace when he told them he has no intention of ever leaving the company until he is all grown up again and even then he will give them notice

I know, like I outright stated in my explanation by describing it as general capability in intellectual matters.

>>3582521
Fair enough anon but I promise you going into those ruins will take a lot of resources and be damn risky. Not that I want to discourage you, rather that I think having a higher rank of knowledge would be more useful by allowing us to find less disturbed ruins, comprehend what we encounter better and so on.

Honestly, I'm fine with Medicine or with Knowledge but I prefer Knowledge because of how much less specialised it is.

>>3582687
>I hope our sister did ok, I always got the feeling she idolised Arthur and his death would be a real blow.
Yeah, I'm more worried for our mother. She basically wept for days at us dying in the free cities, then when we survive and return to her, we get killed by an assassin's bolt.

>Arthur the Great though, that's got a nice ring to it.
Yep. A shame we couldn't do more to deserve it though.

>>3582688
I mean, Arya managed to maintain her person enough to still want revenge and all that good shit. Plus we are already slowly disconnecting ourselves for our person, becoming a collection of different lives, faces and beliefs suspended in a semi-magical soul that attaches to regular bodies. All we need really is the skill to change faces and we're a faceless man. We've got the majority of the rest down already.

>>3582805
>both hilarious and terrifying to your family
Especially if we came back after another 2 or 3 lives spent in other timelines. Returning as some sort of Valaryian flesh-magic empowered demi-god that is more well built than the Great Sept

>>3582879
>>3582888
This, not to mention the possibility of overtime slowly gaining control of the merc company if we show ourselves to be a competent commander and shit. I mean we're already going to essentially be a walking miracle in terms of our skills, why wouldn't they want us commanding at least some troops?

Stay with the baggage train, milk them for lessons while healing them and perhaps provide gunpowder.

Right, I do still kinda need to understand your approach to this life.

>[/fit/izen bane]: You prioritized your youth with one purpose. Getting swole and maximizing your gains to best of your ability.
>[Demagogue]: You sought political office and towards this end turned to the masses in order to rise in the ranks of this merchant republic. (Practice towards deception and persuasion)
>[Budding Artist]: Lys is a city which loves songs and art well, and toward this end you spent your allowance, practicing with an instrument, becoming a musician with hopes of untold plagiarism.
>[Holy Child]: You convinced your father to take you to a temple where you convinced them that you are a miracle birth. They paid handsomely for you, and you were trained in their ways to become a priest.
>[Ordinary life]: You accepted your lot in life and became a baker to the end of your days, mastering the craft, but leading an uneventful life. ( Gain Baker skill, reroll spawn )
>[Write-in]: You spent your youth someway else?
>>
>>3585617
Focus on basic body building while we're babies, not like we can start trying to be all charismatic in toddlerhood. Then once we hit the growth spurt where boys become men, start practicing our charisma-related skills (already aided by our Lyseni beauty inherited from our mother who was bred for beauty in the first place, because this is fucking Lys) whether it be learning a new instrument or being really good at charming ladies.

So I guess what I am saying is, a mix between /fit/ and Buddint Artist.

What does being a Holy Child entail?

As tempting as it would be to learn a instrument, we can do that later in life. Let's focus on getting RIPPED so we can go be a cross between Indiana Jones, Crocodile Dundee and a body builder.
>>
>>3585617
How tall are we going to be (estimation from size of parents)? No point getting swole if we're going to be king of manlets.
>>
>>3585617
Ok, minor question what time table are we working with here and what are our expected results?

Like are we doing this until we are say 12 or 14 and get into a guild?
Beyond that?
>>
>>3585630
You will be baking if you stay with your parents regardless. Ordinary life is just focusing on the art of cooking towards the end of mastering the craft.

Being a son of a wealthy baker is unlikely to result into any sort of grand stories I could spin into a quest.

This is choice how your time is spent till puberty

"It doesn't matter who we are, what matters are our Gains."
>>
>>3585647
Around that time, yea, but depending how you spend your time will depend where you can go to.

Essentially, if you go bodybuilding, you could go straight to fighting pits in the slums for prize money and possibly bigger arenas later on, living as a professional fighter, or join a mercenary company.
>>
>>3585654
I assume alchemists guild is also on the table still?
>>
It should be pointed out that guilds aren't meritocratic im granting you ranks and there's not a whole lot you can learn from guilds as an apprentice whose crafts you already have acquired mastery in.

We can do that in our 30's.

>>3585662
This, we should only join if we plan on making money through it or we need access to large and very professional facilities.

>>3585617
>[Demagogue]: You sought political office and towards this end turned to the masses in order to rise in the ranks of this merchant republic. (Practice towards deception and persuasion)
Littlefinger the baker's son; Butterfinger, if you will.
>>
>>3585662
Would alchemists guild benefit our Witcher aspirations in any big way?
>>
>>3585650
we got that covered with a alchemist and apothecary apprenticeship.
I am interested if any gains we get pre puberty are considerable or negligible to our final phyisical stats.
>>3585620
Since i am intrigued by this suggestion and am uncertain if such a thing will affect our adult physical stats and how, if we go for musical child before we hit puberty and then drop it for full fit once our balls drop.
>>
>>3585659
If you convince your father to arrange it for you, he could get you an interview. I should remind you these alchemists are more like guys who do cosmetics, medicine and poisons than the hermetic cult kind the pyromancers guild is.

Essentially, these dudes run a medicine business. You can get credentials to practice medicine from them tho which gets you higher salaries.
>>
>>3585665
credentials to be a battlefield medic with very high pay so we can stay at the big boy table.

and also a lot easier to milk them for lessons since our healing will cost top prices compared to quacks and sawbones.
>>
>>3585617
>[Demagogue]
We really need to work on being less of a socially inept autist desu.
>>
>>3585668
>>3585670
Fair enough, but then we need another outing to train Fighting. Braavos has nightly duels, does Lys have anything similar?

>>3585671
We need to work on not getting poisoned and get better Endurance.... by training.....and gains.
>>
>>3585665
At rank 7? Not much, you might get a bonus dice or two and learn a few recipes, but apparently having 5 Maesters collectively teach you medicine 3 years straight, performing treatment on your subjects and reading a lot of books about it makes for a staggeringly high Healing rank when paired with your understanding of human physiology.

You would get credentials and tools to practice the craft tho.
>>
>>3585668
Yes and a almost instant you are hired response from a mercenary company.

Why be a mercenary fighter when you can heal them for money and lessons?
>>3585673
Gains are a top priority. Just wondering if prepuberty training will yield much that can not be recuperated once we hit puberty.
>>
>>3585674
So paperwork and a couple soup recipes. Is the difference between accredited Healing 7 and paperless Healing 7 more than 50%? And if so, how big is the difference?
>>
>>3585673
You could start developing your own martial art with your knowledge, but you do need people to spar or fight with in order to do so.

Fighting puts are legal in Lys, albeit blood sports are more a spectator sport for Lyseni most of the time.
>>
>>3585673
>does Lys have anything similar?
There's fighting pits in the slums and the possibility of bigger and more difficult / important fighting arenas if we get a good enough rep.

>>3585674
>You would get credentials and tools to practice the craft tho.
I assume we can purchase the tools and that the credentials are only really required for avoiding trouble with the guild, getting the best customers and all that sort of thing?

Cause I don't exactly think we should plan on being a doctor in this life. Let's do that sort of thing out in the slums if we need to experiment, since no one will care if the Orphans die but we could lose our membership in a guild if we were found to be doing unsavoury shit anyway.
>>
>>3585676
Paper convinces people you are worth a fuckton.
Essentially, you could be a physician for anyone with your competence.

Basically, if the Guild vouches for you, you can essentially become a court healer. Otherwise you have to prove yourself by doing something like fixing people up in battlefield.

There is however one other benefit. You would get full access to the guild's libraries and laboratories, allowing you to develop your own recipes too.
>>
>>3585680
Credentials and guild fees must be paid in order to practice the craft within the city. Outside the city is free game.
>>
>>3585675
Mercs don't ask many questions why you want to join. Lot of demand in contested lands.
>>
>>3585682
So a shortcut to abuse our Healing 7 and get some freebies out of it for a set Guild Due. I assume it doesnt scale with income?

Seems its alchemists after getting swole then. On track for Witcher.
>>
>>3585692
>Seems its alchemists after getting swole then. On track for Witcher.
So our plan thus far is something like:

1) Get swole
2) Get alchemist
3) ??? ???????
4) Get witcher.
>>
>>3585695
>1) Get swole
>2) Get alchemist
>3)Go on Quest and raid ancient knowledge and aquire rare beast ingredients
>4) ??? ???????
>5) Get witcher.
>>
>>3585668
>>3585654
So we get swolle, become a pit fighter once the timeskip ends.

Then we get our dad to make the necessary introductions for us to give the exam to the Alchemists and Apothecary Guild, and then ace the exams.

We continue with the pitfighting and swolle getting and use our prize money to hire other apprentices to do our scutwork and clinic hours for us at a slightly higher price then the masters pay them, while we only do the necessary parts to ace further exams until we are Journeyman.

Might even get a few extra healing jobs at the pits with our day time job to, and get some extra cash for more complicated shit.

That way we can get maximum /fit/ and martial, while also get accreditation as a right proper and reputable medicine man.
>>
>>3585617
>[Budding Artist]: Lys is a city which loves songs and art well, and toward this end you spent your allowance, practicing with an instrument, becoming a musician with hopes of untold plagiarism.
>>
>>3585731
Sold! To the anon in orange.
>>
>>3585731
So our plan is basically to become Doctor House if he spent his days in pit fights and was built like a god?

Sounds reasonable. I would add picking up a familiarity with some less traditional weapons since we'll probably learn how to make some strong poisons in this life and knowing how to use throwing knives / darts would make a nice synergy.
>>
>>3585617
>[/fit/izen bane]: You prioritized your youth with one purpose. Getting swole and maximizing your gains to best of your ability.
I wanna learn music but being fit is most likely more helpful.
>>
>>3585837
I also want that anon. But if we manage to live longer we can learn it too. We will need to do something on the road at any rate if we have to go over land a lot.
>>
We should probably leave the fighting pit and go wander battlefield as a mercenary at some points, the fighting pit can only do so much to develop our fighting/healing skills.
Damn, now I regret not getting the guts start D:
>>
>>3585855
>We should probably leave the fighting pit and go wander battlefield as a mercenary at some points, the fighting pit can only do so much to develop our fighting/healing skills.
That is when we go to Braavos and perform in their nightly duels. Plus, if we actually do start going to various ruins on trips to acquire knowledge, chances are we'll get our chance to fight against bandits and all sorts.
>>
>>3585855
merc doc stint. less chance of death, lots of fighters we can heal that we can discount the price if they are willing to teach or train with us.

especially if we want to like research greyscale cure as we will have to travel through essos around a bit. so might as well do it a good profitable trip in both skill and cash.
>>
>>3585883
>greyscale cure
God if we can manage that, our next run at forming an empire / formal power is going to be easy.
>>
>>3585883
>>3585883
The best teacher is battle, it not only hone our skill but also our willpower that help with martial discipline and defending against magic.
If we are not willing to risk our life in battle then there is no need to try this run, we will not go very far.
>>
>>3585916
There isnt inherently any bonus from fighting in actual wars than in the fighting pits.

At least fighting in the pits is less likely to result in our untimely death and we're in a more civilized area rather than roaming about so we'd likely get more time to study/experiment with new shit.
>>
>>3585937
The pit doesn’t have an infinite number of fighter, and that’s without taking into account their skills, if the match are to the death we could end up killing everyone of worth, and if they aren’t we will just fight the same guys again and again, which I doubt would help our skill.
It’s also effing boring.

It draws fighters from all over the place, they have Westerosi Knights to Dothraki Screamers if the lore is to be believed. Fighting for cash and fame will almost always draw a shitload of people. And those same people can likely be paid to teach us if we make enough cash.

>Killing everyone of worth
Better fighters than us have likely been fighting in the pits for longer than we will and have never managed it.

>Its boring

>It draws fighters from all over the place, they have Westerosi Knights to Dothraki Screamers if the lore is to be believed. Fighting for cash and fame will almost always draw a shitload of people. And those same people can likely be paid to teach us if we make enough cash.

If we only learn from other we will forever be a student and never a master, at some point we need our own shit; we are trying to reach into superhuman territory afterall, nobody can teach us that.

Well, we will see where the QM take us, I just hope we don’t get stuck in the pit doing the same thing over and over again forever for the sake of safety.
>>
>>3586322
If it gets too bad, QM will probably just time skip or we'll leave.

I agree with the needing to develop our own shit eventually, but right now our fighting, will and warfare are all at 4. So the Fighting Pits just seems like the safest and most expedient way to improve them outside of actual battle.

Uh, Warfare is tactic/strategy and troops training though.

>>3587507

So we can get a good base for later Witcher mutations as well as not have to fear poisons in Lys.

How would the stats be spread in the Balanced focus vs an actual focus like End?
>>
>>3587507

>>
>>3587507
>Balanced Focus
Endurance leaves you looking a skeleton. Not aesthetic at all.

But seriously its a good baseline on everything.
>>
>>3587507
>Balanced Focus
>>
>>3587515
You get we wont actually have Strength 3 and Endurance 7, right? Its about whether we want a spike or not. And considering we are in the city of poison and about to make waves again, nevermind the witcher stuff that QM confirmed need high Endurance, putting as much into Endurance as possible is what we want. Hell, with Endurance 7 we basically dont even have to roll to survive most poisons. Strangler is the only one even capable of killing us and we can circumvent that with a cut in the larynx.
>>
>>3587511
Balanced = Solid 6 across the board
Focused = 5 on two stats, 7 in one
>>
Basically you are gonna be Robert tier warrior in terms of physical stats since your training regimen is more efficient than his.

Regardless what you pick, you will be built like a God.
>>
>>3587507
>>Balanced Focus
>>
>>3587523
Anons, I understand the want to be a physical beast and I get why you want it. Picking Endurance 7 now means we have the option of not only beefing ourselves up later but also surviving the mutagens to go beyond 7 in stats, possibly regeneration as well, and immunity to diseases, depending on what we can survive. Putting Endurance to 7 means we have those options. 6 means we might not.
>>
>>3587523
If the stats are split like this, I'll def take balanced.
>>
>>3587525
How much better is our training regimen? Could we get rich by being a specialized trainer of men?
Thinking on it, I wouldn't mind buying some young slaves and trying to make some beast as fuck bodyguards/allies for us.
>>
>>3587507
>>Focus Endurance

We sorta need high endurance because firstly we are in fucking Lys of all places with their love of poisons and secondly we need the high endurance to help with our Witcher goals with the mutagens/magic. The tougher we are the more we can getaway with.

Also, I don't know how involved with Westeros and the War of Five Kings we'll be in this life, but if we're still in Essos we should try and be there to purchase Tyrion and Penny and we need to be aware of Daenerys and her slave uprising.

Btw rad, did our training bring up our Weapon skill/fighting?

MANLY men use fist!
besides that stat fall on specialty rather than abilities
>>
>>3587677
No, you focused on maximum gains and physical prowess, exploiting your growing body to its limit by working it really hard.

Unlike TV series would have you believe, doing pirouettes by yourself doesn't actually make you a better fighter. You kinda need a training partner or you can't work out flaws in your form.
>>
>>3587692
Uh, we will have to fix that in the fighting pit I guess.
How old are we at the start?
>>
>>3587711
I'm aiming for somewhere 12-14 area I think.
You having such physique so young makes you somewhat of a spectacle when they see you working out.

You could probably participate in Athletic games and win a lot of contests on regular. I don't think they do anything like olympics in here though sadly.
>>
>>3587731
considering it's a pleasure island do they have "beauty" contests for men?
>>
>>3587734
Well, ripped 13 years old might not fit local beauty criteria :P
>>
>>3587731
start the athletics gainz society
>>
>>3587745
Start the swole baker society. We must make all bakers ripped as fuck.
>>
>>3587746
so a male version of hooters?
>>
>>3587746
Medieval bakers are actually pretty swole, kind of like smiths. Bread dough had to be mixed by hand for thousands of years and you can imagine what your muscles will be like if you're essentially stirring tar with your hands day in day out.

What they lacked (and what we can provide) is a proper training and diet regimen.
>>
>>3587757
So what you're saying is that bakers and smiths are the same thing, so we should start a revolution and fuse the baker's guild and smithing guild to create the finest breadsmiths the world has ever seen?
>>

We shan't skip leg day or any day. Also what the hell does our family think about us being this built?

>>3587785
We obviously have a proper Baker build :P
>>

our dad is a workaholic and probably a perfectionist so he probably worked us to the bone in the shop and teach our brother on how to collect shekels properly
>>
>>3587793
>>3587797
True but we are still only a young lad yet we're built better than most men ever are.

Also OP, I was looking through the rules regarding movement and I was wondering, by completing our training will we gain any speciality levels for bonus dice?
>>
We should probably make ourselves some very good armor and weapons.
>>
>>3587834
I wonder if we can build a pair of single shot wrist mounted pistols.
>>
>>3587834
We'd need access to a forge for that. Not impossible by any means but it could be costly if we want a good one.

The real question is what weapons do we go for?
>>
>>3582949
I come back to see next life is apparently the most wholesome family background possible, and in the city of whores no less. The fuck
>>
>>3587868
I mean, I think we can borrow one if we pay for it, we’ve done it in the past.
Definitely late ghotic stuff, we have the skill for it.
>>
>>3587868
Poison smoke bombs, pistols, all the underhanded shit we can think of.
>>
>>3587878
>>3587875
Considering the costs we want things that we can do fast and of good to best quality.
Plate Armour, Sword, Pistol and Rifle.
Just in case we need ranged options, but mostly stick to the traditional things and not advertise the gunpowder weapons.
Grenades we can improvise with a leather bag and metal bits for shrapnel lined inside the bag.
>>
>>3587868
Sword and board plus a couple pistols. It's what we know, why fix what isn't broken?

Besides that our family is wealthy, it and be super difficult to get access to a smith and buy the raw materials to work with ourself.
>>
>>3587878
Can we at least get a weapons that we don’t have to reload or that we can’t run out off AND that we can use in the pit while developing our fighting skill?
Oh, and it should make use of our ripped physique too.
How about a big ass axes?
>>
>>3587870
But the context of that quote is Shirou saying that people SHOULD die when they are killed, because he kept surviving fatal wounds.
In fact even the part at the bottom is incorrect because Kazuma does get that somewhat.

>I mean, I think we can borrow one if we pay for it, we’ve done it in the past.
I know but it'll still be something we'll need to look into.

>Poison smoke bombs, pistols, all the underhanded shit we can think of.
Agreed. Every trick in the book and a few more yet. Shit like flashbangs, acid flasks and so on would be good too.

>>3587881
>Considering the costs we want things that we can do fast and of good to best quality.
Agreed.

>Plate Armour, Sword, Pistol and Rifle.
I question the wisdom of straight-up plate armour, we can hardly wear it particularly covertly and I imagine the cost of producing it could work against us. We might be better off using lighter armour and focusing on our insane physical stats to enable us to just dodge most if not all attacks.

>Just in case we need ranged options, but mostly stick to the traditional things and not advertise the gunpowder weapons.
To be fair if we want some traditional ranged options too, we could make some high quality throwing knives / axes and practice with those. That or, thanks to our agility adding onto the damage of most ranged weapons, we could use a bow to deadly effect.

>Grenades we can improvise with a leather bag and metal bits for shrapnel lined inside the bag.
Yep. Plus we can make incendiary ones if needed.

>>3587882
>Sword and board plus a couple pistols. It's what we know, why fix what isn't broken?
Because we're about to be so physically powerful that certain weapons are now essentially broken in our hands.

>Besides that our family is wealthy, it and be super difficult to get access to a smith and buy the raw materials to work with ourself.
I don't think I get what you mean.

>>3587883
>we can use in the pit while developing our fighting skill?
Well not really, assuming the fighting pit is just boxing / street fights. If it is more than that then chances are we will be able to take more or less anything in.

>How about a big ass axes?
Nah, clearly we need to go Herculean in style and just use a giant club to crush the ribs of anyone who fights us. Maybe a pair of brass knuckles as well.

>>3587868
just go full geralt
swords, bombs, potions, and shiet
we can work towards a pistol

The amount of armour we can "get away with" in public depends on our supposed career. No one will bat an eye at a knight/soldier/mercenary wearing armour, but people would look sideways at baker doing the same thing. We're starting out as a musclelad and if we plan to go full Witcher in this life we will need combat training at some point. We have the physique to use any kind of weapon but I would prefer the classic longsword, we could even carry two just to have a backup.

Once we build up some cred as a physical trainer/pit fighter or duelist we can pass off the armour and weapons as part of our daily physical training.

As for the armour itself, I'm thinking maximum mobility. So if we do wear plate armour it would be limited to pieces that don't limit our flexibility, so maybe a breastplate, greaves and bracers mixed with mail. Mail armour would have to be purchased from an armourer because it's mind numbingly tedious and time consuming, usually you have a gaggle of apprentices to do it for you. It's entirely possible to craft full plate that doesn't hinder movement but that would take considerable effort for each piece and people would wonder where a baker learned to be a master smith.

Maybe bring out the pistol after we get our alchemist credentials? Until then a "pistol" crossbow would do, it would still be pretty powerful because we're swole enough to use a big one with just one hand.

For maximum concealment we could also build a crossbow with a pistol inside it and dual triggers. This life would be the ideal time to figure out percussion caps too.

>The amount of armour we can "get away with" in public depends on our supposed career. No one will bat an eye at a knight/soldier/mercenary wearing armour, but people would look sideways at baker doing the same thing.
To be fair, most people would look at anyone doing their daily business in plate as a odd person given it weighs a fair bit and is hardly fashionable.

>We're starting out as a musclelad and if we plan to go full Witcher in this life we will need combat training at some point.
Agreed. To be fair we've already got combat training to a fairly good degree but we're hardly spectacular (beyond our physical form).

>We have the physique to use any kind of weapon but I would prefer the classic longsword, we could even carry two just to have a backup.
Fair enough. Personally I'd advise we'll want to train in weapons which we can use to fight creatures (spears for example) since a large portion of the places we'll be going to for knowledge are either lost (meaning we'll be spending weeks searching for them) or are currently abandoned. Plus there's always the chance we might encounter a remnant of the flesh-mages works.

It also seems wise that we train to infiltrate and fight quietly. Shit like throwing daggers, garrote wire and other things we might be able to sneak past guards just in case we need to assassinate or steal from someone.

>As for the armour itself, I'm thinking maximum mobility. So if we do wear plate armour it would be limited to pieces that don't limit our flexibility, so maybe a breastplate, greaves and bracers mixed with mail.
Seems logical. Plus it'll keep maintenance costs / time down which could prove an issue on the road.

Ah yes, one made of Valyrian Steel, one made of Dragonglass.

>>3587939
Id argue that a decent longsword is enough to fight monsters, especially since we arent talking dragons. Most creatures arent that big, even in the funky creature books.

As to armour, a Masterwork plate is basically no hinderance and offers massive benefits (like basically immunity to arrows and bolts). I dont know how big of an issue maintenance is but cant get better protection with Masterwork plate. On top of that, it doesnt deduct from our Dodge capability.

As to weapons, just get a gun or two. Ideally have a revolver setup even. Then various antidotes, detoxers and various bombs. I imagine a flash bang and tranquilizer as grenade can work wonders.
>>
>>3588014
>Most creatures arent that big, even in the funky creature books.
Depends where we end up man. Sothoros supposedly has vampire bats that can drink a man dry and giant cassowary-like bird creatures. If we want to do any investigating there then we'll want to prepare to deal with insane creatures and it's not like Essos lacks it's fair share of stuff too especially if you believe the rumours of the far east.

Griffins might also exist somewhere too.

seems pretty clear on endurance
>>
So with endurance 7 we can play poison drinker with the alchemist guild once we join. Get bet money, in guild fame and friends, and perhaps a rationale for our seemingly preternatural affinity to the subject.

Couple this with pit fighting and paying the aprentices to do our menial work, and we might get fat without having to invest a lot of time in being a aprentice.
Especially if we can get the guild apothecary of a reputable fighting pit as a master.
>>
>>3587920
Percussion caps need to wait till we are old and don't have long to live due to how much its going to fuck us up from trying to figure it out.

>>3588328
We are taking the alchemist exam mostly so we have access to their labs and recipes plus we can legally work but the lab/recipes are honestly more important. Seriously though building/renting our own lab would be expensive as hell. We might even find something good among their recipes. Do that and fight in the pits to grind up our combat skills until we join a merc company to gain backup/experiment/make money. All the while we should also be investigating the locations of ruins that we can delve into later on. So we gotta read a lot of books and question local people about rumors/old myths/history.

Anons had a pretty good plan figured out in that regard.

Not sure if we're following the SIFRP here exactly, but just thought I'd share with everyone:

>Agility measures dexterity, nimbleness, reflexes, and flexibility. In some ways, it describes how comfortable you are in your body, how well you master your movement, and how well you react to your surroundings. A low Agility suggests stiffness, uncertainty, and uncommon tension. A high Agility reflects suppleness and grace, uncanny speed, and easy physical movements. (Acrobatics, Balance, Contortions, Dodge, Quickness)

>Athletics describes the degree of training, the application of physical fitness, coordination, training, and raw muscle. Athletics is an important ability in that it determines how far you can jump, how fast you run, how quickly you move, and how strong you are. Your Athletics rank alone describes many elements of your characters, but you can test Athletics to push yourself beyond normal limits. (Climb, Jump, Run, Strength, Swim, Throw)

>Endurance measures your physical well-being, health, and hardiness. Your Endurance determines how much punishment you can take, as well as how quickly you recover from injuries. As well, whenever you are exposed to a hazard such as poison, smoke, and similar effects, you test Endurance to stave off the effects. (Resilience, Stamina)

According to the official campaign guide, Jaime Lannister has Agility 4, Athletics 6, Endurance 4 (and Fighting 7). Gregor Clegane has Agility 3, Athletics 8, and Endurance 6 (and Fighting 6). Robert Baratheon had Agility 3, Athletics 5, Endurance 6 (and Fighting 6) in his prime.

Obviously I don't know if we're sticking to this exactly, but I think it's a fair enough guide on matters. So from my understanding focusing Athletics would take us down the Mountain path or close enough to it at least. Focusing Endurance would take us down the Witcher path (and be pretty funny after dying to poison in our past life). Focusing Agility would basically make us an elf. And picking Balanced Focus would make us a Master (one of the best in the world) in all 3. Focusing on one would make us a Paragon (height of human potential) in one and Accomplished (far above the common man) in the other two.
>>
>>3588800
Knowledge stat refers to your general knowledge of the things in the setting, it doesn't take into account stuff like professional knowledge and stuff like that.

Essentially in RPG terms if you wanted to say... look for places which might lead you to discovering some certain types of artifacts and ruins, I could make you roll for knowledge to see if you know where to start, whether or not you know a repository of knowledge which could lead you on trail of what you seek and such.

Naturally, it is also used for research to actually figure out credible sources or alternatively in terms of crafting items, figuring out how to use this world's means of production to work towards that end goal.
>>
>>3589371
Keep in mind that if we go Witcher we have the opportunity to jack up our other stats (as well as more interesting qualities like Regeneration or our senses) with mutagens, which QM has confirmed are possible, since fleshcrafting was a Valyrian pastime and mutants exist in-setting. Only limits to mutagen experiments are our means and knowledge and our Endurance to see if we survive the mutations. Thus, picking Endurance and going Witcher gives us a whole goody bag of options.

Plus, not dying to poisons, either human administered or fang injected. Easier to hunt monsters for ingredients that way.
