I mostly asked as its a question mostly unanswerable by reading the story and again ill read as soon as we level up. I want a descent stopping point.and becoming a dragon seems like a good one ill be caught up within a few days at that point. And no I won't be reading every comment sorry I just don't want to do that there are literally more words in the comments than there are in the story its unlikely I would be able to read that quickly and it likely wouldn't be enjoyable again I'm sorry.

You need to understand that due to being very behind you are near incapable of actual contribution, re-read your posts, they are near all questions, normally already answered and when they're comments or suggestions they are most often incredibly outdated or long since considered and discarded.
People have already blocked you in the thread and if you plan on catching up maybe you want to make that number as small as possible so that you can contribute contemporaneously.

By the way, @Artemis1992, any ideas on a potential PrC for Waymar's little sister? I'd love to get to the point where she and Kyla can become Dany's official handmaidens.

Wait what does blocking me mean exactly? A lot of the questions I ask do not come up in story though so I don't see any other way of learning them. If its expected to read every single comments page that's a bit unrealistic as its just not interesting enough. Though i can understand where your coming from and will read the story and catch up soon but its not like all the questions I ask will ever be answered in story so I just wanted to know sorry about that.

Do we know what her base class is yet? Hard to plan PrCs without that knowledge.

Wait, you can block someone in a single thread only? How?

How could you possibly know if the questions never come up in the story if you don't read the story? I assure you, the vast majority of your questions are directly answered by the story. It's there, I promise.
DP doesn't give me any knowledge that I'm not allowed to share with the thread, so I'm not privy to any secrets or anything. I have no idea what Ysilla is. Since she's so young maybe DP will be open to suggestions from us for something thematic. Maybe we could focus her magic around Runes.Do we know what her base class is yet?

I said not all of them will be and I'm sorry if they've been answered in story but surely not all of them have been answered in story.

The thing with Yss having snake-man worshipers actually does come up in the story. It's in one of Vees level-up chapters.

Thank you for answering though that's not exactly what I meant when saying not all would be answered in story. Plus to be fair that was only one part of my question not including how old is yss what happened to the civilization how loyal is he to us and how powerful a deity he used to be. Though I get what you mean that's why i said sorry about questions that are answered in story.

@all @DragonParadox can we get Malarys a dragonpen after sacarafing the loot to Yss but before we leave for the Royces. Or can it be retconned in for like a week ago?

To answer the questions, since a lot of this was discussed outside the chapters:
@Duesal found a few references in A World of Ice and Fire (Lore book) to a war between Spiders and snakes in far Asshai, we suspect those were Planetos!Lolth and Yss empire, both ended in ruins from the war (possible spider victory?) And then early humans destroyed the pockets of survivors.
We dont know how strong he is, DP confirmed he started stronger than the Mallor and we have sacrificed a lot to him since then. We Also know we can age people 1d4 age categories a day as a power.
As for how loyal he is, i trust him as much as any other companion that has been with us for a long time.

BTW, I didn't get a chance to comment on it earlier, and then I spent way too much time this afternoon at work panicking about Yss' evil twin, but I really like the False-Gold Blade we looted from Tor.
It works quite well for Malarys, as he has a respectable Charisma bonus and doesn't look quite so out of place as it would with Viserys, Maelor, or even Vaelana.
@DragonParadox I think you left off some info from the sword cane's entry. Looking at Malarys' character sheet, it's also has a +2 Enhancement bonus and inflicts 1d6 points of Radiant damage. Is that Holy damage, or untyped damage like a Searing Light spell?

So there is a large chance of an underarm spider empire somewhere on the planet? Oh god we are gonna die. Now how to take this and make it an advantage any way we could get a portal for undead armies to fight drow and spider people cause either way one evil faction can be eliminated and the other weakened.

First, yes there appears to be a civilization of Drow living in the Planetosi equivalent of the Underdark. Second, a word of advice, I've been flowing this quest on and off very casually from the early parts of Braavos but have only been seriously reading since mid January, by simply reading the updates, the discussion and asking a few questions I've gotten all the information I need and have a good idea of the events that happened though not necessarily of the exact order they happened in.

Part MDCCCXXV: Exile's Hope
Exile's Hope
Twenty-Third Day of the First Month 293 AC
While Yss did not awake upon sensing you entering the heart of his power with the shards, the weight of his regard pressed upon the air, the sleeper stirs though he cannot quite wake. Thus you leave the lead-lined box in the presence of the vessel and leave the temple and its priests to look after themselves for now. Hopefully the Pentosi magisters will have more than enough trouble with the rumors of sorcerous folly to stir up any serious mischief. Your eyes turn to brighter things and hopefully less bloody dealings.
It is time, perhaps even past time to see Waymar honored for his service, such as few knights indeed have ever done their lords. Arcane treasures you have aplenty and words of praise to offer him in the land of his birth, beneath the eyes of his kin, yet as you look out from your solar window over the storm-laden sea to the west it is clear as the flash of lightning and the rumble of thunder that this homecoming will not be without hurdles of its own.
"I'm not sure it's safe to bring the griffons," Waymar says sadly though not unexpectedly. Cloud and Zephyr have proven to possess many admirable qualities, but inconspicuousness is hardly one of them.
"Not directly to Runestone, perhaps," you allow. "But surely there must be hidden dales or lonely vales where one might have a homecoming away from prying eyes."
"I'm not sure father would go... that far," the young Royce moves from foot to foot uncomfortably. "Meeting you in some secluded place, particularly..."
"Too close to declaring against the Usurper then," you state more than ask. In the end you cannot bring yourself to resent lord Royce over-much. His liege-lord was in revolt and not without cause besides. Little wonder he chose Arryn over your father at almost his rabid worst.
"We should travel in disguise, one that justifies being received at the keep and some time alone with the lord and his kin," Tyene offers from where she sits besides Waymar with a comfortable familiarity that bespeaks of closeness greater than simple friendship. "Then if things go well we can seek some hidden place to speak of magic and miracles and try to sway lord Royce to the right side."
"The right side..." Waymar sighs. "You read about families fighting on opposite sides of wars but never expect it. What if..."
"Stop right there," you raise a hand. "That day is far off indeed, and while preparing for it now would not go amiss there is little sense to worry and fret." Seeing your words having little impact for once you add. "In the unlikely event of unwise positioning by your kin, rest assured that your aid and friendship will not be discounted."
"Thank you," the valeman replies with a wide smile. You see there trust in your word and confidence in victory in equal measure, twin homes you vow not to disappoint.
How do you approach Runestone?

OOC: For the sake of simplicity you can retroactively send letters warning of your arrival through Waymar since he is in contact with his family.

Would it be reasonable for dropping an arcane mark in said remote vally and then bringing Warmars dad and brothers to go flying with Zpher and cloud?

Hrm. Waymar isn't the best at subterfuge. I'm not sure pretending to be merchants will work, and if anyone in Westeros is being successfully watched by the crown, it's the Royces due to Waymar's close association with us.
On the other hand, if the Royces are trying to have secret meetings in the middle of the night, the servants will pick up on that too. Servants are pretty good at that sort of thing, and we don't need them doubting Yron and spreading rumors about him.
Braavosi merchant and his two strong, silent bodyguards?
