Alright, that's as clear a signal as any that the loot is severely underleveled for us. Never mind.
Not neceserily. Loot can be powerful without being flashy.

OOC: And here's everyone's 'favorite character' Littlefinger. I'm sure you guys are going to play nice, right?
I thought Lord Estermont was the Master of Laws when I asked late December?
It doesn't change the situation much at all, besides the potential for Littlefinger to have had the last Master of Coin assassinated so he could get the job, but I just wanted to check up on that.

It would get us Ned fully onboard with us, he wont oppose us anyway, but doing this will mean that he will actively support us, instead of just not opposing us.Tarrangar - what is even the point? What possible reason could we have to do this?
There must have been a mix up then. I have him as coin in my notes.
They're native Psionists with access to corrupting materials with a vested interest in experimenting with new brain meats in the kitchen and in "managing" the flock.
This of course means that Bobby B was replaced by a Beakman infiltrator who's riding around in his brain meats (which explains why we haven't seen him sallying forth to fight demons nor devils). The only reason this hasn't be noticed and declared upon is because Jon 'Otherwise' Hawkman, Petyr 'Montebank Lord of the Third' Baelish, and Varys 'Lolth's Get' all benefit from the squid piloting around the flesh suit. This includes occasionally hiring said squids for various projects like asset retrieval and wildfire relocation assessment.
The Master of Laws, per word of DP Eldon Estermont aka Grandfather of Bobby B, has even odds of being the true power behind the Beak Throne or being in thrall to said Beak. One in five odds for both at the same time.
That I would too, when I included her in my statement, I meant that if she turned out to be dead, he could pay for her resurrection too.I'd retrieve his daughter first rather than have that be something he has to pay for, as that would guarantee his loyalty to us.
I didn't say we would promise her to him, merely promise him that we will revive her, if he wants her, then he has to woo her himself, their betrothal ended at her death, we can revive her so he has a chance at charming her, but the charming he will have to do himself.While I'm onboard with resurrecting Lyanna, I am against doing it for Robert's sake. We've met Lyanna's ghost, she's made her disdain for the man abundantly clear. How do you think us of all people -- someone who she already holds irrational hatred towards -- promising her to the man she ran away from out of disgust will go?
I think I'm going to do an interlude next if you guys don't mind. Necessary though these exposition champers may be they are pretty hard to write (as shown with me doubling the master of laws position). I'm thinking of doing that Amrelath chapter you guys wanted.
But to be frank, nothing pleases me more than a Malarys chapter.
With a shake of her head Chataya dismisses the words. "He is worse than that. The man had been buying out brothels wherever he can. Where silver alone will not suffice he uses the gold cloaks like thugs... more like thugs than usual that is. He thinks it's a safe bet you see, everyone whores from king to pauper, and even the maesters and septons who aught not do it. But he cares less for those poor girls than a horse breeder for his stock. After all, he can always find more where they came from and sweep the ones who are no longer of any use right back onto the streets."
"And the 'ever honorable' Jon Arryn gave that man power over the finances of the realm?" you ask, disgusted. Truth be told your resentment for the Lord of the Eyrie for chasing you out of Braavos had long since petered out, leaving behind only the cold calculation that demands that he, unlike the Starks, be removed from high lordship. Now you think you will be taking more satisfaction in the deed.

You know what would please me more than a Malarys chapter? You delivering on your omake promises
He in general has a great deal of respect for workers, whether that work is seen as respectable or not, he would be just as pissed, if he heard Littlefinger exploited other poor people, such as hearing of Littlefinger running terribly unsafe factories, and just throwing the crippled/broken workers out on the street, once they can't work anymore.Oh right I forgot that Viserys has a great deal of respect for sex workers and would be pissed with Littlefinger's "practices"
Along with the fact that the Iron Bank is firmly in our pocket now, so Robert and Littlefinger can't use them for loans unless we want them to.It's honestly great that we started this now. Arriving just in time to help Littlefinger get his operations started is tremendously advantageous for us.
We can bleed Westeros dry.

Just wanted to point out that Viserys has no particular respect for sex workers, he merely has no disrespect for them, and he severely dislikes any exploitative employers.
Robert's been limiting his tourneys and other expensive habits in favor of training, I doubt he's going to rack up much of a debt here, unless of course he get the opportunity to buy a dragon-slaying weapon, then he will rack up as much debt as necessary to buy it.Along with the fact that the Iron Bank is firmly in our pocket now, so Robert and Littlefinger can't use them for loans unless we want them to.
Standing armies and rebuilding navies (twice) are very expensive. I can easily see Robert overspending on that instead.Robert's been limiting his tourneys and other expensive habits in favor of training, I doubt he's going to rack up much of a debt here, unless of course he get the opportunity to buy a dragon-slaying weapon, then he will rack up as much debt as necessary to buy it.
