And What a Dance it Was (NO SV, War is Coming, Prepare)

Second I think that instead of The Court of Secrets we should either take The Cupbearer's Resolve to make sure that Rhaenyra stops being afraid of us and we can fully restore our friendship, The River's Sons so that we can establish clearly the Pecking Order (and T Pose the fuckers), or To the King's Court and Council so that we have the most agency in what will happen there.

I am ambivalent on the skills matter, but on the socials, I agree with picking the Rivers sons, I want to see Aegor and co. Same for the Kings Court, however I don't care much about the Rhaenyra action.

Well, since Rhaenyra is one of our only friends I want to make sure that she is no longer afraid of us... And doing in while we cannot fail is a nice bonus...

To clarify, @Magoose What would Command confer?

Edit: I'm asking because we already have tactical command and I want to know if this is different.

A spot from an omake I wrote but dropped due to it being far to depressing.

Rhae: Come now Daemon, we're going home.

Daemon: Rhae I have never had a home… not now…. Not ever.

And the Rogue Prince buried his head into his wife and everything went dark.

Man this is gonna be so sad. What exactly did Daemon go through if he lost his voice or still have it? Like cut his tongue out or something else?
 
I think that the Command is for general command actions that arent martial actions.
I'm willing to bet that yeah, but It sounds ambiguous enough to look like Training general intrigue versus Court intrigue. similar bonuses but different circumstances and qualifiers, and I'd hate to waste a perfectly good autopass on a skill that doesn't work for us the way we think it might.

On the other actions I'm taking @Fanhunter696 Court of secrets is on there because there is most certainly behind the scenes actors here and finding them is a top priority, I figure we can push off cup bearers resolve for later turns. I feel the same for Maegors crotch goblins and co, meeting with them would be good but with autopass the other actions are just better, and the king and court action is the most likely action I'd add if given another action but I'm placing court of secrets higher to find the fuckers trying to hinder our efforts from behind the scenes.

I'll wait on replacing Admin for Command until we know for sure what it gives us, because I'd hate to order sugar and get salt, so we can weight the benefits of a master Admin versus Command.
 
Speaking of Court of Secrets I wonder if with a crit we might learn who is the Bat? Of course finding who is pulling the strings behind the scenes are much more important.

While I would like to see Aegor and co. I can wait for the next turn, and Kings and Court are more pressing than our resident NotNaruto...

Well, the thing is that we would probably have another 2 actions, one for Ghost´s omake and another one for my meme... So we can add another two social actions, train more things, or add actions for the guard...
 
The Most Dangerous Man No More
The Most Dangerous Man No More

Daemon Targaryen, son of Baelon Targaryen, the Rogue Prince and the most Dangerous man in Westeros......no he isn't that anymore. It now belongs to the Prince of Dorne. Not after his failure in Dorne.

Daemon was sitting in a war tent...well they aren't at war anymore.....so just a tent. Daemon kept looking at a unopened message in his hands......it was from his brother Viserys.

Daemon was afraid to open it. Was it asking him to return to Runestone or come back to Kingslanding? Daemon wasn't sure which one makes him more afraid. His brother not wanting him at court or everyone at court seeing his Weakness.....

No he knows what he wants in the letter.....For Viserys to want to see him after everything Daemon went through. To know that even in failure Viserys still loved him. That their bond is still going strong.

Daemon took in a deep breath before opening the letter from Viserys. Daemon started out as silent when he started reading. Though the more he read that started to change to silent sobbing. "This.....has to be a mistake." Daemon said to himself and started to read the letter again. Not matter how many times Daemon read the letter the words don't change.

Viserys....wants him to return to Runestone.....Daemon wanted to rage, to hit something or anything besides crying but....he just couldn't. He just felt....so tired and empty.

Daemon mind began to wander. His daughters has certainly grown but....he sees the looks in their eyes. The sadness. The same as him. They have seen things they shouldn't have by the Hill tribes and the Dornish....the later to save Daemon. Needed little girls to save him. That's how far he has fallen.

Whenever he saw their Dragons Daemon couldn't help but think about his own dragon Caraxes.....last he saw of his dragon he had ten bolts in him....if Caraxes isn't dead he probably will be soon. Suffering from it wounds. To die slowly. Alone in the desert or some cave....Daemon the dragonless......sounds about right.

The news of his son Lucien fixing not only the City Watch but also saving the City from riots.....Lucien being so strong right now for the Targaryen family while Daemon was being so weak....Lucien having to grow up and show that the Targaryens aren't weak....Daemon just continued to cry.

Daemon wants to feel joy, happiness, rage, anger. Anything else that what he was feeling right now....but he can only feel sad and empty at his weakness.

Daemon heard the flap of his tent opening and comes his wife Rhae.....in a wheelchair.....another person Daemon has failed. Couldn't even look his wife in the eys as she stopped right in front of him.

They remained silent for a good long while. At some point Rhae decided to take the letter out of Daemons hand and read it. Once finished reading Rhae put the letter down before speaking. "Daemon.....let's go home." Rhae sounded so vulnerable.

Daemon choked at hearing Rhae speak. After a long silence Daemon finally spoke. "I don't have a home.....Not now.....Not ever.....How could someone like me ever have a home? My own brother doesn't even want me." Daemon hated how sad he sounded right now. Even more reason on why he will never have a home.

Rhae started to have tears go down her cheeks as Daemon started talking. Rhae forced Daemon into a hug. Daemon pressed into Rhae once she started speaking. "Daemon....you have a home. With me, your daughters who miss you so much and your son Lucien.....we are your home." Daemon couldn't keep control any longer and just let his tears and sadness out while he buried himself into Rhae until there was only darkness.....

-----Timeskip to Runestone-----

One day Daemon was in the courtyard just....looking at the mountains. Just hoping Caraxes would appear but....he most died of his wounded in Dorne.....Daemon the dragonless.....

Daemon started to hear the flapping of wings....dragon wings....Daemon couldn't believe what he was seeing. Caraxes landing in the courtyard. Still hurt with bolts still sticking out of him.....but still alive and recovered enough to fly to Runestone....

Daemon broke down. Not of sad tears but.....happy tears? Was this.....Daemon feeling hope? Daemon didn't care at the moment because Caraxes needed help. To be cleaned and his wounded fixed.

Daemon didn't know it at the time but later in the future he would realize this had started his recovery to what he was. The Rogue Prince and hopefully one day The Most Dangerous Man in Westeros.

(And scene. Man that was sad to write. I had to write near the end Daemon getting some hope back with Caraxes and Daemon starting his recovery when Rhae gave him comfort. Hope you guys enjoyed and didn't make you too sad.)

I love it, man I really hope we can get Lucien to visit Daemon soon and Hug that man, maybe even call him father. The guy needs all the hugs in the world.
 
( Me and my habit of doubleposting)

Since Viserys wouldnt let us leave and wont invite Daemon by courtesy why we don't try the other option? Queen Aemma it's a Arryn, cant we 'convince' her to visit both of her kin in the vale?

Edit: We could even ask Little Jeyne help with this.

Well here I have a tribute in the form of a meme to the MVPs of the thread (at leat for this turn) @Ghost in the sun and @mrsean22 which have produced a fuckton of quality content for this quest in a couple of days.

Well, @Tabascoheath you may have to include training Command or To the King's Court and Council if @Magoose grants us an extra action for this...
Bloody Good meme. +10 to the rolls
Omake: Of Fairytales and Warsongs.
+10, we are now at +20 next turn.
To clarify, @Magoose What would Command confer?
Command will seperate in to 5 Seperate catagories if left undefiened.

Navel
Tactical
Strategic
Logistical
Dragon

Do not leave it up to the dice, if you can help it.
The Most Dangerous Man No More
Another +10.

We are now at +30 for the next turn after this one.

As for why there are no more actions being offered or rewarded:

Simple, 10 is my limit.

A Statement:

There will be actions, but after this one, there will be more... Narrative driven turns, with Write ins, to grow your charecter and friendships with others.

As well as deepen other relations you will have.

Does this make the guards "Black Cloaks"?
 
For Life and Loss
For Life and Loss:

King Viserys was angered by the reports that were in front of him. "They are warmongers, all of them!" He proclaimed as you leaned back in your chair, watching the lords of the Small Council. "Every single one seems to think they know better, that force and war is the only thing that can bring us any sort of justice!"

Lord Otto concord. "Your Grace, perhaps their wishes for a more-"

That earned a snort from Lord Beesbury "Your Grace, the lords do not believe the Blockade will bring them honor or gold."

"Fuck honor or gold," Viserys swore in anger. "They harmed my brother, and they will discover that soon, they will not have the opportunity to do that again."

"Yes, but the Lord's." Lord Strong started, but then he huffed. "They do not believe it is an honorable course. The raids showed strength. They showed resolve when the dornish did not have to match." He said. "But your brother lost Dark Sister. His men were routed."

"My Brother Lost it?" Viserys had Venom in his tone. "Be very careful with your next words, Lord Strong, they may well be your last on this council."

Lord Strong remained quiet. Thinking of his words carefully.

You then said. "You gave him the order." You stated as you looked at the king. "You are the one who is responsible for what happened."

He noticed you immediately with the Ruby Cloak, and he knew that when you spoke, people listened. "I did." He responded. "And I wish I hadn't." His voice sounded silent, and lost, adrift in the sea. "All of you leave. Except you, Lucien. You remain."

You remained silent as the others left, and only you remained. "You speak, and yet all I hear is treason."

"All you hear is the truth." You shot back, and that made the king look at you with anger.

"I should remove you from your post for that alone, and remove your tongue." Viserys seemed bitter in his words as if he knew that he would never do such a thing.

Yet you did not remain deterred. "I guarantee you that it would only be a minor inconvenience. If blood loss does not kill me."

That made the King, in a moment of weakness, give a smile. "You know why I haven't asked him back?"

This again. "You wanted him to be with his family." You gave him the answer he always gave, but never in his heart. "Unless that is not the reason, Your Grace?"

You wanted to get through to him, to hear him say the words he long denied. It would make your rage cool, at the very least.

Viserys however, was not unfettered. Nor was he willing to give up that answer just yet. "Is the city safe?"

You nodded. "More or less." You stated. "But it will take years for the city to finally be rid of the major gangs and crime."

Viserys nodded. "Very well. Out now."

You finally realized he wasn't just talking about you. You saw the Princess hiding behind a pillar, through the cracks in a wall. She didn't know you saw her. But the King knew… and now so did you.

You bowed before you let out a sigh. "Hiding from what we hold dear does nothing to help us. It only damages us, and prevents things from healing."

"Out." Viserys was less kind in his word at that time.

And you left.
-------------------------------------------------------------
You have 10 Actions.

You have 10 BP to spend each turn. These BP replenish every turn, but you cannot save it, as the budget will reallocate elsewhere that the Crown needs.

The King does not wish to give you much… It seems he has little faith in his guardsmen. At least right now. He expects you to change that before he offers or gives you more resources.

City Watch Actions.

[]The tolls of the city: You need a new system that will make money... but also not burden your men with difficult things like Reading. Cost 7 BP

[]Recruiting Fresh Bodies: You need more men to police the city. And that might not be enough. Cost 3 BP

[]Buy Equipment: You can't work with shit. You need steel and quickly. Cost 3 BP


[]The Gangs of King's Landing (the Fleas): You need to find a way to deal with them, and remove their filth from the map. Cost 20 BP

[]The Humanitarian Trick (Flea Bottom): If you can win the hearts and minds of Flea Bottom… Well, you can win anything. Cost 10 BP

[]Situation Report (Street of Steel): The Street of Steel is known for its knights and smiths, but they are also lousy with thieves, and cutthroats. And many men would seek to destroy another, should they get the chance. Cost 4 BP

[]The Mind of a Bat: You want to see if you can track that blasted vigilante. See if he may be a useful pawn. Or maybe… you can use his help. Cost 1 BP

[]The Gangs of King's Landing (THe Portside Workers): You need to deal with these men, get them back to work, or stop them from making things worse. Cost 10 BP

[]The Humanitarian Trick (The Port): If you can win the hearts and minds of the Port… Well, you can win anything. Cost 10 BP

[]Situation Report (The Street of Silk): The Street of Whores more like it. The Brothel capital of the city, and easily the richest part of the city not called the Red Keep. There may not be great crimes here. But there are far more dangerous foes that may need to be dealt with.

[]Situation Report: (Gin Alley): The So-called name for the twenty pubs that line the main way to Shepherds Square. Also known as the Murder capital of the City. Drunks, horses… many horrible things. It can be stamped down. Cost 5 BP

[]Request More funds: If the King wants his city Secured, you need more funds! (Linetail how much funds you like to gain every turn.)

[]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.

Personal Actions:

[]Fly: You wish to try and fly on the back of your dragon. You want to fly in the sky.

[]The Dragon Eggs of the Three Silents Brothers: You are going to request they receive dragon eggs and see if they hatch.

[]The Damaged Prince: You want to bring the man you call father Home. It does not matter. You are being selfish, and perhaps he needed to be too.

[]Learn a Skill (Line tail what you want to try and learn. Subject to QM Approval can be taken multiple times costing one action each)

[]Train a Skill: Choose one of your skills to train and become better. (Dragon Riding and other dragon-related skills are now available)

[]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.

[]The Knight of Fear: Harold Westerling is frightened of you. You need to make him know he is not in any danger. Not unless he wishes to become one.

[]To the King's Court and Council: The King has requested your presence if you can make it to the court. He is trying to tout you around, maybe make your name well… and marry you off if he can before your parents come back from Dragonstone.

[]We Light the Way: Alicent Hightower is a strange girl, but there was something you always knew. She likes spending time in Godswood. And you wanted to talk to her.

[]The Testimony of Mushroom: Mushroom is perhaps the only man you trust at court who isn't family. That is a terrifying prospect because you barely know him. But he is funny, as the Seven Hells. And he really likes spending time with you.

[]The Storm Singers Songs: The songs of the Gods are being said. Time to find out just what they sing?

[]The Septon Seminars: You are going to break bread with the Septons of the city. And you will make them an offer they cannot refuse.

[]The Lads: It seems that the Lads, your Captain, want to speak to you about something.

[]The River's Sons: The Heroes of Dragonstone have returned. And you were forced to meet them, as you saw just what Maegor's line produced.

[]The Court of Secrets: Something doesn't feel right, so you will do what all people in this shit hole of a city do… Spy and see what is going on. No one ever bothers with the mute.

AN: enjoy. Plan format
