Wait, here or there?
Also, stuck between Hugs and Funny, consider yourself to have both.
In case it isn't clear, I support Plan Burning Shadows over there.

Actually, compared to canon, Jon died in literally the most mundane, normal and ignoble manner that is possible, falling off his horse, with divination backing it up as being "totally normal and accidental".[X] Crake
This is fun, someone looking forward to not getting poisoned shouldn't be eating apples tho.
Mmm this might be the seven, Jon did die under mysterious circumstances after all, someone good and lawful would be easy prey for their evil schemes, maybe Crone plot gone wrong?
She lucked out on her bloodline then.
@DragonParadox no pressure, but I'll be waiting for that Omake
Read history books, look for any number of noblemen who died by literally taking a fall on their horse and dying immediately or days afterward. Bloodraven deliberately picked this because the most baffling deaths to happen to extremely prominent people are the ones that are totally disconnected with normal intrigues such as "dying of heart failure" or "choking on a fish bone". If the death has anything to do with eating or dying in ones bed despite years of perfect health and no visible degradation of it, just sudden death, it's probably poison.
If a man goes for a ride, at Jon's extremely advanced age, and just takes an unfortunate fall, it was totally natural.
The man's a genius.

I need a vacation so bad, ya'll. Next week should be it, but I'm going to be stuck in a beach house with my family the whole damned time. Can't a misanthrope just be left in peace?
At least it will give me plenty of time to get a lot of stuff caught up for the quest. We have a ton of level ups to do, the turn plan to finalize (including all the NPCs and allies we now track), and some of my character tracking spreadsheets are woefully out of date.
/sigh

I'm very excited for those levelups. There's been a lot of growth across the board. Our Inquisition agents in particular have been doing great.

Over there, I did vote for burning shadows, but I was hoping you could spare me the search through the dozens of pages to find what the different plans were, it seems you also arrived late to the party.

I know, but Lord Farting seems to suspect something (obviously crazy, but so crazy he is right), and since it was such a mundane death then someone must have tried to manipulate him, and the only beings I can see actually suspecting something are the seven.
Probably not directly, more like "having previously divined his fate, something changed, which makes it likely to be the actions of someone we cannot foresee".
That or I could fight fire with fire, and point out that Jon "Hand of the Others" Arryn likely moved his dark spirit to the body of his son, who he kept in stasis so he didn't develop his own personality.
Now, he is using Lord Farting as a pawn to discover what party is the most interested in silencing those "mad rumours".
We are going to teach this Lord what real paranoia looks like.

It boggles the mind how some voters insist on disagreeing with people even when confronted with direct WoG.
Wait, four years? That can't be right.
... What?
Alright where's the turn plan.

There's a coven of Hags in the Riverlands. Remember the random Forked Cat we fought when we were doing our first PR run? It came from that coven. Same with the witch that almost ate Edmure Tully, I'm pretty sure.
We're planning on sending the Misfits and Thoros of Myr over there to permanently get rid of them.

When you have so many voters a few of them are bound to be ... Less than enthusiastic in keeping up with the discussion.
Same reason for the recent saltsplosion, it kinda makes you appreciate the high entry requirements for this quest, it makes it easier to keep a tidy house, even if I wished we had more people around.

At least one of them was eaten by her own cat, so they can't be that competent.
Wasn't the witch (also) a chosen of the crone? Seven-aligned hags, i wonder if the crone might be a bit angry at the rest of her Pantheon.

The competent ones are probably the ones that didn't let their cats eat them.
As for the Chosen of the Crone, she was just a random hedge witch. We have no way of knowing if she was connected to the Riverland covens, but I doubt it.

Clearly the coven is just a farm for forked cats to create more of their own by providing their brethren with a source of easily defeated witches.The competent ones are probably the ones that didn't let their cats eat them.
As for the Chosen of the Crone, she was just a random hedge witch. We have no way of knowing if she was connected to the Riverland covens, but I doubt it.
It would be very CR efficient if it wasn't for the time requirement to turn into a proper Forked Cat.
You know, i was under the impression that BR has killed multiple CotCs, he has killed 2 that we know of right? or am i mixing my crones up?.

Oh, I remember there being Hags, what surprised me was thirteen pcs.

Eh, mostly that's because no one had any idea where to throw the low-level PCs of ours.
Most of them don't have healers or magical fire support anyway, so having them go with Thoros/Misfits is still one of the best choices available :/

Whats really surprising is that they are what, 20% of our PC total?
Considering the 2 source materials DP is drawing on, the new characters he introduced, the characters the players created and the sheer length of the quest, i wonder if any other work of fiction has the same amount of developed characters.
Edit: Maybe, maayybeee, the if you consider the Marvel/DC universes a single work of fiction on their own.

May as well put them on a low-level mission and hopefully power-level them to make them more useful later on.

That was my thought on the matter, you can't cleanly cut that group in half as there isn't a decent balance of PCs to divide them into. Oddly enough separating Thoros, or leveling up Kennos a fair bit, would be the neatest way to center two small groups for missions giving them a fair balance of skill-sets and abilities. The Misfits + Thoros are actually an optimum set-up though, with the right mixture of magic and sustainability.
TBH what our baby PC list needs most is a couple of druids or a cleric/wizard. Something that can do a bunch of things or most things. The twins should fill that role pretty well once they've leveled a bit.
Anyway, looking at the turn-plan, I can't think of much better for that group to do, and come to think of it after Harrenhal I feel like a month of absolutely shitting on a threat with brute force and numbers is better than being in dire straits for the Misfits two months in a row.
It has to do with people being a little more generous than that, I suppose, hence calling them "baby PCs". It implies while they're not much now, they can grow into the role.

They're Baby PCs.
Strong enough to matter logistically, and strong enough to bother equipping.
Not strong enough to send out on any truly high-stakes missions.
That said, this is only true for the people who aren't the Misfits and Thoros. Those guys are the real deal. They faced down Harren the Black in his own castle.

But we can delegate truly unimportant matters to them. Like, even a giant witch coven that regularly feeds on hundreds of people wouldn't matter in the long-run, beyond just generally being a stain of excrement on the map we had to stare at every so often.

Yeah, that's the great thing about Baby PCs.
Also the unimportant matters are a stepping stone for them -- wonderful XP they can use to claw their way to full PC status.
By the way, I hope we haven't forgotten about Jeyne Weaver and her Reyne friend. She might be a Baby PC but she's also our only Psion so far.
