I have no idea who that is, but for some reason that name alone is causing me to hate him. Like I seriously don't know why, it's just the way my brain says his name seems to poke at my "Burn it" nodes.

It all. Leads back. To Jon Arryn.

"Varys--" Jon Arryn!

"Pycelle...?"

Arryn.

"Robert though--"

Jon. Motherfuckin'. ARRYN.

"Baelish did it!"

NO. JON DID IT. HE DID IT ALL!
 
So now we are the ones keeping Cercei alive.

Another reason for Robert to hate our guts.
At this point, Bloodraven and Viserys are the only thing keeping the entire realm alive and in some semblance of peace and order. Without our intervention, everything would be on fire or thralls to the Derp Ones, Mammon or the Others.

There's a reason Oberyn camly and perfectly seriously states "we are winning this war". Because when it comes down to it, our enemy in it is on life-support and we are the ones who makes sure the machines don't fail.

I can't even imagine how smug he is right now.
 
I honestly have to keep asking myself "how is she not dead yet?"

If what even half of what we know about her is true then she's pissed off everyone except her brother, and that's because she's banging the bastard.

She's the queen. That counts for a lot. And the Lannisters have a lot power, which she makes use of.

She can also be decently intelligent depending on the situation. Her scheme involving getting Jaime in the kingsguard so that they could be together is pretty demonstrative. She was smart enough to pull it off, but completely failed to foresee the obvious fallout and Tywin's reaction.
 
Seconding this. Stating ships as creatures with a single pool of HP can get very silly.

As previously raised (and seemingly overlooked) there ARE rules for ships in Stormwrack that break it down by ship component, section and even represent hull breaches, which Azel has stated would reduce the craft to a crawl speed or tear themselves apart.

If you don't want to use them that's fine but they do exist.
 
Basically the plan is to get Garth and Erren on our side. Erren because he is now Lord Florent and with him almost have the southern Reach. Garth because he can be an inside man in the Tyrells, he basically does the money stuff and can help with the Faith thing coming up.

Erren serves us now or has that not technically happened yet?

I never said anything about "crawl speed". The Wyverns can still move decently fast after sustaining heavy damage, they just shouldn't try to fly Mach 1 while missing half their steering surfaces.

And the Moonchaser would be entirely unaffected by a minor hull breach, baring the damage to the immediate vicinity itself or the hole potentially causing some damage from planar effects.

That's probably going to happen after we save his son and get House Florent back in order and purged of cultists.

Crawl was used as a relative term to the Mach 1 they achieve.

I would expect for the most part the only time a Moonchaser would be breached would be in a Planar Environment, though Air presents far fewer issues than Fire or Water.

I've begun to think that the real weakness is the user, as always right, so I expect Illusion Specialists to be an equaliser, there are plenty of massive range and duration Illusions and True Seeing is both very expensive and very short ranged, you can't fly a jet by true seeing but you can Mirage Arcana the whole damn area it's in.
 
......Cersei thinks she is better than Tywin now I'm guessing.

Cersei consistently referenced the "if I was born a man" issue, she killed a Kingsguard with a touch so that's personal physical might sorted, she already believes in her own superiority of intelligence, she has the resources and minions, so the final hurdle is for her to believe that people will recognise her genius and she's over the edge.
 
OOC: I hope the descriptive chapter works on its own, I felt Highgarden deserves it.
We've always received these "set up" updates well.

IMO, it's something you should spend more time on: on what's the ambient, and then how the characters in the scene interact with it.

I just love the PoVs of the Everyman fighters like Ser Richard (and we haven't had one of those in forever, come to think of it), Bronn and now Sandor. You manage to make them all different, and they are all amusing still.
 
@Azel @Goldfish it seems to me hiring/conquering/liberating some Salamamders is much easier if we want to set anything up in the PoF.

Tier 1 Dragonrider armor should also allow for them to walk about most places.
 
If you don't mind. Something tells me i should know just how badly this guy fucked the realm, if only as a measuring stick.
Jon Arryn is singlehandedly responsible for the War of the Five Kings. He could have impressed a dynasty utterly united in the face of adversity by showing just a little spine and finishing the war he started.

He postponed it by less than two decades. And lost everything from a position of strength.
