Completely forgot those. :oops:

Their first album cover should be the band riding Bhaelle through the flaming skies of the PoF, flanked by the burning shark skeletons.
 
I just reread the Baelor chapter, and I feel rather sad for the poor idiot.
It's always a shame to have to kill desperate, well-meaning people.

I mean, I'd do it again if we had to redo that vote. It was clearly the right decision. But it still felt rather dirty.

They don't get to practice much together though, it's 1 Leshy to a pod, and I don't think the pods meet up that often.

Been thinking about constructs recently, here's some general stuff that might be useful.

Say, do we have a Lead Golem? I remember fighting one in an squid fortress, but I don't know if we captured it.

We never did manage to capture it, unfortunately. IIRC we didn't have access to that Golem Control Spell at the time (I believe this was before we got Blood Wish) and Ser Richard had to destroy it.

If we wanted a Lead Golem I'm fairly sure we could either just build one or commission one at this stage. We could eat the cost fairly easily.
 
Internet troubles again, sorry vote closed.

I would like to have a huge breeding population of the crabs for consumption purposes. Crabs are delicious.

Part MMMCCCII: Of Envoys Far and Near

    • Of Envoys Far and Near ​

    Eight Day of the Twelfth Month 293 AC

    Where once you would have thought in terms of numbers and utility, of breeding populations and the time needed for the next generation to be born and become useful in your wars, now your only thought is of the template of flesh, be it the humble strangler, the deadly blood lily or... you wince slightly at another unexpected roar the bunyip. "It's a wonder our world is not filled with all manner of arcane creations from when last the Forges freely birthed their creations," you note to Lya, amused "One might almost accuse the Valyrian flesh-smith of restraint."

    "Most of these things need magic to live even if they cannot wield it," she replies, frowning at the crab as it is being carefully guided through the crowded market for you to take home. "You can't really have a crab that large, their respiratory systems would fail, maybe their circulation too."

    "So they all perished when magic did, any that were forged or stranded visitors from other Spheres," you sigh. Compared to tragedies like the Doom of Valyria or older still the breaking of the world that seems a small tragedy hardly worth noting, but beasts like these would not have been able to even understand how or why, only pain and then the blackness of death.

    Creatures Bought:
    Lost 15,900 IM

    The remainder of the day passes without much else of note to mark it as you and Lya wander through the market looking for interesting bargains or rare bits of lore. Though you find nothing of great worth there is something to be said for a few hours walking among the flooded towers without cause for worry or the urgency of some task to occupy your thoughts. As the silver light passing through the dome fades in arbitrary concordance to evening in the world under the sun you hear more news from the Reach.

    The daughter of House Ambrose, who had caused your mother so many headaches, is now safely in Gogossos awaiting a new face while her father had given his heartfelt pledge to your cause. After all, someone has to protect his family against the dangerous fey... you snort in amusement. It had been the fey who taught the budding enchantress her art, so it might even be counted true from a certain point of view.

    Thankfully Lord Jancor Appleton had presented less of a challenge, offering his fealty under the same terms as Lord Bracken, or almost at least. His firstborn daughter had been having an affair with one of her father's knights, or rather he had been taking advantage of her tender years. Ser Henry of Willowbrook would be taking the Black, entirely out of a desire to find honorable service of course and young Aleria will have a chance to reign untroubled when her time comes. By all accounts it seems Lord Warryn Beesbury will soon follow, though he is certainly living up to his reputation for dragging his feet by asking for three days' time while he prays for guidance.

    Soon after reviewing the report you get another one from closer quarters, the Seaguard had managed to find an agent of Galzerai, though not a formal envoy. Rather they had found a former member in the Kelasi Embasy in Vialesk who had been spying for the dragon and was subsequently cast out. Divinations show that he is still in contact with his master, though not in any sort of favor.

    How do you approach Galzerai's agent?

    [] Point out that this is his chance to rehabilitate himself in his master's eyes

    [] Offer payment in exchange for a means of contact, no sense for having your first contact with the dragon being tainted by the direct intercession of an ill favored servant

    [] Write in

    OOC: A bit short, but I wanted to integrate Viserys actually receiving reports not just interludes.

    This dragon needs better security and a better intrigue team.
     
    I suggest divining lord Beesbury. I want to know if he'll try to contact Lucan (yes, I'm suspicious) and seeing if the Divination matches the final result would be an easy way to check for contact with Mind Blanked people.
     
    [X] Offer the spy a job in exchange for a means of contact. You could probably find some use for him yourself, and of course the worry about getting caught on the bad side of a grudge for giving up the ghost on his former employer can be obviated partially or entirely by uprooting.
