On an unrelated note I'd just like to say that I'm really happy TNE got his boat.
Interlude CCXCI: Shearing Wealth
Shearing Wealth
Twenty Sixth Day of the Fourth Month 293 AC
That the Hunter's Moon was swift and strong none could doubt, least of all the captains relieved of their coin for toll or their cargo and lives for practicing slavery in the king's waters, but you would have to put away quite a few jugs of wine to mistake her for being a subtle sneaky sort of ship. She was about as good at hiding as her infamous captain, or so the tale went, mostly from those who forgot that captain Moonsong could turn small enough to fit in a gull's nest if it suited her, and as it so happened that evening seven leagues off the coast of the Stormlands it did.
The darkness had come early on wings of cold mist, just the sort of weather that might tempt a foolish captain still flying the Crowned Stag to sneak his why out of Weeping Town and make good speed away from the port before changing the banner over, out of sight of prying eyes that might accuse him of disloyalty.
Luckily for any such fool they were not hunting such easy prey this night, Asha Greyjoy thought as she breathed in the fresh salt spray.
"Think the stuff's there?" Theon asked. He sounded dubious, and to be entirely fair the elder Greyjoy admitted she was not entirely without hesitation. There was a not-so-fine line between raiding ships and raiding a coast, and from what she had heard the King had some kind of deal with the lord of Storm's End, or at least he'd like to have one. Still, they weren't raiding any proper Stormlander treasure. Hells, you might even say what they were doing was more in the manner of smuggling than raiding, except for the fact that some of the guards..., most of them really, wouldn't have gotten the message.
***
They came ashore in a small boat, taking advantage of the bad weather and natural tendency of men wandering about the docks of any good-sized town at night to mind their own business. That likely would not see them through the whole night, but then they did not have to. Thanks to their friend among the guards who was looking to move to the Deep a far righter man than he ever was in Weeping Town, the raiders knew exactly where the shipment from the Alchemist's Guild was, and they had a good notion who would be guarding it.
It was almost too easy to lure the sellswords away with fake thumps and clangs round the back of the building, and the wards broke at the touch of sea salt mixed in with holy ash just as they had been told... which was of course where the whole thing went tits up.
The inside of the warehouse was dark and crowded, but not quite dark enough to hide the misshapen figure shambling mindlessly around the crates in the far corner. At first Asha thought it was some kind of dead thing, but then the captain's light revealed something far stranger: a mound of hair clumped together in a roughly man-like way moving towards them, a soft unsettling swish in its every move.
"It's a golem, no sense trying magic against it," the captain said, sounding far more cheerful than the situation called for, at least in Asha's opinion, and from all the swearing she was hearing her bother's as well.
Seeing no other recourse she met the thing axe in hand even while Theon's arrows flew wide. With a sort of grim humor she remembered complaining to Lady Stark that she would choke on hair if she grew it out too long even as the thing in front of her did its damnedest to make sure she would die just like that. Fortunately the thing fought like a clumsy puppet with no wits to speak of, so they were able to get into a rhythm where Asha and the captain would bait it by turn while Theon shot it again and again, swiftly as his sorcery would allow him, until finally the thing fell apart into just hair and hemp.
No sooner had it actually died that a familiar lazy-eyed and just plain lazy man made his entrance from a side room, cheering them on for their victory. Asha did not seriously consider stabbing him for sitting out the fight... much. She did make sure to load him up with the heaviest crates, though.
OOC: Yes that is a proper golem the Alchemists made, but only a CR 5 one. Neither Theon nor Asha leveled up from this raid though both are getting close. Also, you might want to consider pulling Moonsong off routine raiding before she starts interpreting her orders even more inventively.

We can just send her down to the Basilisk Isles again and have her aid Saan's new conquest. The raiding isn't the problem so much as its placement is.
By the way @DragonParadox, the last time they poked at ruins in Wyvern's Point, the Silver Corsairs were instructed to bring us wyverns. We never actually got any wyverns. Were they just overlooked?
Theon was unable to tame any in the time he had available.
Anyway, good night guys. Snake meting and Tor interrogation tomorrow.

Right, that was true. They can just be sent into the Shivering Sea, then. We can get some nice Whaling Ships as loot.
Most likely their "friend" among the guards who made a deal with them to give him a ride to Sorcerer's Deep.
Yes, that was him.

Is taming necessary? I would've went with caging.

It's about 2.46 million pounds if we Blood Wish Righteous Might and Bite of the Weretiger and cast Ant Haul while wearing our Muleback Cords, curiously enough on our HHD form as the bonuses round of to the next bracket, i.e. 60 effective strenght (36 + 4 + 12 + 8) and Gargantuan. As TD, it's down to 2.12 million pounds.
If we do a more freeform wish in the form of "count as quadrupled for carrying capacity", it goes to 3.686 million pounds in HHD form.

So TD doesn't count as quadraped?

*salivates at the thought of straight up stealing maesters' grand library*
Yes, now we are certainly looting this entire place.
Fuck Sothroryos, nasty Australia clone it is, this city should be in our lands.
Or rather, our civilised lands.

I really doubt it. For the Mythal to still be somewhat intact and functioning at all, after thousands of years of neglect and several centuries where magic was all but gone, it would have to have been some really serious shit back in the city's prime. If it couldn't protect the city despite all its power, well, that's kinda scary.
Also, I don't recall that the Drow ever used Mythals. Seems like their Chaotic Evil and deceitful bitchiness would make that kind of cooperative magic impossible for them.

The idea is for HHD to count as quadrupled, as it's actually stronger than TD (36 X 32).
Thing is, it's just strong enough to reach 60 effective Strenght, which adds an extra multiplier to the formula.
If we don't want to use two wishes, just Ant Haul and Muleback Cords, which are virtually guaranteed to the there, translate into max loads of 115000 lbs and 134000 lbs fro TD and HHD, respectively.

Maybe add a Mass Alter Weight spell into the mix if the situation makes it feasible?
It can't affect a truly massive volume, but that would still be a serious reduction in weight.

So when are we stealing the maestars library? Because I feel it would be a lovely gift for Viserys' darling wife... though we may not see her for a couple months after we get it but hey anything for her

Ah, the incoming XP. Best part is that the XP for Vee, Malarys, Xor, Maelor, and Bronn hasn't even been calculated yet. There should be some spectacular XP leeching. And Ser Richard has definitely bumped up to the next level, with Viserys probably ending up painfully close to level 16.

None whatsoever. That's just a minor typo.

What's the formula for carrying capacity now?
Each casting would only affect 84 tons worthy of mass per casting at most, or something along those lines. It helps, but not nearly as much.
