Remember when I said that the city was about to explode into sectarian and religious violence?
And there are people who want to assassinate you?
Well that shoe has dropped.

Dammit even with the -20 from the previous turn?Remember when I said that the city was about to explode into sectarian and religious violence?
And there are people who want to assassinate you?
Well that shoe has dropped.
Even if we got a nat 100 in the disaster roll it should have prevented the assassination attempt at 90...

Well, I am out.
The Quest is clearly over and lost. Daemon as good as dead, we as good as dead...
No point in continuing. Bye.

I really hope that when Rhae said she would protect us she meant it. Give us that sweet rune magic miracle with a natural crit dice!
Well it could be worse, Cannibal could have just freed itself in the chaos and started rampaging in the middle of the city.
Unless the disaster roll had a buff too for unknown reasons.

No... No... No...
You'll see. You'll see.
Considering what you have at your disposal now?
It's highly winnable?
above a 70 was the threshold for something bad and riot to happen.
Sometimes I think I troll everyone a little to hard, and they don't even see that I might have hidden your successes.
The bullshit amount of successes.
Thats for more Daemon.
You'll see.
no.
No. You just missed the threshhold for having an assasination attempt on you.
Harold Westerling is a fucking chad.

At least we have something like 2000 guys, I just hope we can mitigate the damage.
Did he throw our would-be Assassin out the window? May as well establish a Theme for this stuff.

Try 6000 lads, armored, and armed properly...
yeah, this is go.
No. He just... didn't even allow the lad to enter the room. We didn't even know he was there.
6000, all well armed and trained?
I pity the fool who started the riot. If you put 6000 armed and trained men against a mob, no matter how large, the mob will get massacred.

Thats why I say. Are you sure that you are going to die, or lose?
And maybe wait before there is panic time.

That is a pretty respectable number, even the cities with more police officers per capita have less than 60 cops per 10000 people
Harold is chad indeed, poor assassin didnt stood a chance. Also it reminds me that poor assassination atempt against Valaar. At this point all adults around Lucien seems to be chads experts against assassins.
Now I can only imagine Rhae donning the Royce Runic Armor, riding one of her daugther dragons coming to Daemon rescue.

Well if that's the case then this could go so much better than I initially thought. The city may be huge but If that Storm Singer action goes well we might have an in with one of the potentially rioting factions. Either way we have enough dudes to crack a few skulls, and we have the officers to lead them, so lets get out there and do what we were promoted to do.
On next turn, I think its safe to say we're going to ask for more money, because if this is what we can do with a shoestring budget imagine what we can do with a functional one.
(looks at rolls.)
Either I am really wrong or Apollo gift found me twice in this thread.

A City of Dreams:
-[X]Recruiting Fresh Bodies: You need more men to police the city. And that might not be enough. Cost 3 BP Rolled:D100 + 50 => 129
To say that you brought the Watch that was needed was… well impossible.
There were so many recruits that wished to join that it was almost impossible to accept them all. But Ser Westerling managed to weed out many of them.
And then there was something worse.
6,000 men in the Watch… It was going to be impossible to really see them as anything more than a private army in the city.
You needed to turn that image around, or things might get bloody.
Reward: The City watch is manned by 6,000 swords. But they are lacking in training, equipment, and supplies. And they are not what you would call… the best.
But they are brave and loyal, and that might be all the difference in the world.
-------------------------------------
-[X]Buy Equipment: You can't work with shit. You need steel and quickly. Cost 3 BP Rolled:D100 => 98+50=148
You managed to at least uniform all the men you had. 6000 pieces of armor, helmets and of course…
Fitting cloaks. You would need to get them soon.
Reward: Your men are armed and armored for what is to come.
--------------------------------------------------------
-[X]Gangs and Gaurdlords: You need to find out how these fucking captains managed to not only be horribly corrupt... but above your orders? Cost 1 BP Rolled:D100 + 50 => 88
It was a long investigation. It was quiet and sudden.
And you learned just how far it went.
It seems that when the watch was founded, the Old King used guard captains from the city gates and put them all under a unified command. That was nice in theory, but all the captains despised one another, being from different parts of town.
And once placed under a commander, they chaffed and wished nothing more to have no command. They conspired to kill the idea of the watch, or failing that, subvert it to their own ends.
And that was how it went.
But what bothered you was simple… Who did they work for? They worked for someone but no one knew what it was.
Reward: You learned what was going on, but there is no identity as to what the over boss was.
------------------------------------------
-[X]Situation Report (The Port): The Port is the second Richest part of the City. That means there are grifters, thieves and other low lives. Time to find out how to handle this. Cost 3 BP Rolled:D100 + 30 => 56
The Port.
You learned only two things about the port.
One that the dock workers were a gang in their own right, but they were important.
Secondly, it seems that some man called himself the Bat…
The Bat? What the bloody hell did that mean, who was protecting the docks at night.
Reward: You discover that the dock workers are a gang in themselves…
And there is a vigilante operating in the port district. A man dressed as a bat.
----------------------------------------------
-[X]Drill: You want these men to be the envy of Westeros. So you will try to make them. Well, Ser Harold will help with that, seeing as you are… not that great at training men. Rolled:D100 => 94+40=134
Ser Westerling trained them well.
They are an army with a city.
An Army with a purpose.
Reward: +20 to the riot control and crackdown rolls.
----------------------------------------
-[X]The Cupbearer's Resolve: She is wondering why you are not afraid of her father, or punishment from your other royals. She wonders, just how dangerous you are. Rolled:D100 + 20 => 41
With the riot in the city, you could not find her. But you think you saw her watching from the Balcony of the Red keep.
Both afraid and hoping you would survive.
Failure.
-[X]The Storm Singers Songs: The songs of the Gods are being said. Time to find out just what they sing?Rolled:D100 + 20 => 48
There was… Nothing to find, save for chanting in Valyrian.
"Justice, and Freedom for all."
They were afraid.
And they took that fear and turned it into violence.
Failure.
Disaster Roll:D100 => 99-20=79
Assasination survival Roll:D100 => 89+50 (Harold Westerling)=139
Event:D20 => 12
The Assassin was not exactly something you wanted to be woken up to when Ser Harold Woke you up.
But you were not happy to be woken up by this news:
"Riots are in the street," Wendwater said as he looked to his horse. "They are clashing at Shepherds square, but if we do not move quickly, we will not be able to contain it.
So you blew the horn, rallying every single watchman, both active and resting, to their stations. There would need to be swiftness.
OR all might perish.

Mother fucker, are we Gordon AND Sasuke at the same time? I really hope this guy is actually like batman and not another psycho from the Dreadfort or something...
At the very least we got good rolls for the stuff that was Absolutely necessary, damn shame about the social rolls though, maybe next time.
Edit: I'd like to clarify I am loving this update, I'm just surprised that the Batman plot is the one that carried over from the last quest.

Better than what I feared thanks the bonus;
So whats up with Batman, do we need to beware of the Joker? Is mushroom secretly a criminal overlord?

Instead of the Penguin, we have...THE MUSHROOM!!
Shame about our Social Rolls, but at least we can try those again.
Well the Uchiha were Konoha policy force so there's a overlap in there somewhere...
