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

By the by @Magoose do you want me to do Post-Timeskip sheets for the lads that I did? or do you want me to wait until after the Timeskip update drops?
After the timeskip please.
I mean if Lucien gets with Rhaenyra and Alicent there is a way to appease Otto. Just promise a match between a daughter of Alicent to a son(heir) of Rhaenyra. Hightowers get blood on the throne and Rhaenyra gets their support.

Assuming we go this path or people agree with it.
Or we get stuff? I'll let you know
 
Telling you all now:

Once we age up, I will be making far personal actions.

And you will only be having… less skill training action.

Yeah that tracks, we have master and legendary skills on multiple fronts, so not having as many opportunities to train isn't really surprising for the new best dragon rider on the continent.

Well, our skills are pretty phenomenal as they are, but I hope that we can learn a few more new skills like poetry, music, painting...

Because now that we are going to be a family man we need to get Lucien a relatively peaceful hobby, just like Viserys and his Lego of old Valyria

Y'know that sounds like a pretty good idea actually. Lucien making little Lego dioramas of Dragonstone with Viserys would be a wonderful bonding experience, and if we pick up painting we can make the dioramas true to life. Hell, if hes got someone else who can do model stuff he might look beyond Kingslanding to other landmarks, what a wonderful (and strange to their eyes) gift a to scale replica of Winterfell would be to the starks.

My guess is there would be a contest on who could build the best castle.

Old Uncle Viserys still knows how to hand make the best model buttresses and palisades this side of the narrow sea, and he'll never let us forget it. Maybe a few jokes here and there about if he had gone to the Maesters, he'd have been a chief architect in 5 years flat.

Well, I won´t deny that it sounds pretty awesome... I still think we should add Poetry and Music to our skill though,having several hobbies is quite good, and music, dance, and poetry seem a good way to keep or waifus happier (courtly love and all that)

Why not something unique...like culinary talents? People could say it is a lowborn talent to self-cook but hey...can you hate a person who can make good cuisines?
 
So if we manage to conquer step stone would we get a turn on the domain to run it? Like design a castle if this is happening I may just have to crack my inventory of castle plan I had made for a quest that I'm too lazy to run.
 
@Magoose which is our actual bonus for the Stepstones?

We should be near +200, or maybe even more than +200...

Edit: I just found an image that could be a good fit for teenage Lucien... And I have to tell you it is difficult to find anything that fits the Ethereal trait

Is your image also from a ASOIAF roleplay? Because if all our images of Lucien come from ASOIAF roleplays that'd be pretty funny.

Wrong.

He would have done it in a year. The man's an architectural genius and if he was actually… allowed to use his skills, he could do incredible things to make good buildings in the city.

Especially since he wants to build a huge tower overlooking the city. And to serve as a lighthouse.

And do other things.

I like that but I'm still making it a vote.

We are the role play?

Lucien would sing both honestly, Westerosi medieval labor songs be like.
 
A City Saved
A City Saved:

-[X]The Portside Strike: The Strike will come, and the workers requested you take their side. Cost 20 BP Rolled:D100 => 95+100=195
-[X]Policing the Port: You need to make sure the strike does not cause any damage to the city, so you are quarantining the city port and preventing anyone from leaving. Cost 30 BP. Rolled: D100 + 100 => 195

You looked at the growing number of workers that were gathering. And then you realized something. You were looking not only at the workers…

But also of the port owners… or rather the men who were tasked to run the port by the Crown, men who were, above all else, your equals.

Yet when you saw them screaming and pushing at your men to start killing the striking workers. You could only snarl at them, and realize one thing.

You just wanted to go home, and deal with many of the things that you wished to work with. However, you were here now, and they were annoying you.

They then saw you, and immediately they realized what was going on. "Treason." The man said. "That is what you are all committing!" He shouted. It was Lord… Well, you didn't really know the name, he was some crownland house who was from the Claw, but more a knight than anything more, with no noble house or title, but he did have an education. "Lord commander!" He pleaded.

"Silence." You whispered as you looked at the man and made him look like he was about to die. After all, he might not have seen Grey Ghost, but the very threat was something that was on every mind when the Silent Prince spoke to them.

Though you spoke… your very presence was enough to make men bow to your will. "Here is what is going to happen…. Ser." You said the word in almost a whisper, almost everything about his face turned white as the winter snows. "There is a list of demands that these workers will make, that the King will learn about if the port remains closed. They are demands that are keeping to their sacrifice and work. And you know you cannot replace these men, not when they still control the port, not when my men will not break this strike."

You took a breath and looked at the lads, and they were with weapons that were… ready. "Now. I am going to leave. If the lads do not come to kill you, then you succeed."

You then turned away. "If not well… Who will they believe? You, or one of my lads?"

"What is it you are trying to do?!" He demanded.

"Nothing." You replied. "Except for bringing order to my city."

A few days later, you learned the port was open, and the new contracts and workers' safety was approved. Something told you that the King approved.

Reward: The Strike is successful, and many of the workers drink to your health.

The Port's safety and wages lead to the port authorities being able to get more cargo off and into the markets, making the entire city more prosperous.

+20 to the Westeros Rumor Mill.

Gain Title: The Master of The Port

-[X]The White Wrym: She calls herself Lady Misery. Daemons paramour, on and off again… lady of the night he frequents. Something tells you she has things she wants to do. And not enough time to do them so she needs extra muscle. Cost 5 BP Rolled:D100 + 100 => 149

She was quiet. Very quiet when you entered, only looking at her strange skin and hair as she eyed you. "You are the one who Daemon calls his child?"

You nodded. Then you held up your hands. "Do you know what I am?"

"A silent one." She nodded as her hands moved. "I am in need of your help." The lads who followed you did not understand the sign.

And you liked it that way. "What is it?"

"I need to deliver a message to my contact in the Red Keep, and you need to give it to them." She signed. "All I ask is that you do not reveal the information to him."

You raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

"Daemon will be needlessly worried, and it is for the best that he is not warned of this."

You nodded. "What is the message?"
----------------------------

You looked at the Hand as the Rain fell. It was a downpour that you could not be seen, especially when the night shaded your appearance.

You made sure to play the role of the beggar. The street rat… was a role you like to play, and you played it well.

You turned down, letting your hood cover much of your defining features. "Ah, the White Wyrm sent you." He said.

You nodded. "Yes, M'lord."

The Hand seemed to pause as if he recognized you before he shook his head. "What does she have to say? Speak."

"She says she received word from the Sparrow. They believe the King is the one who is the Bat. and he is the one who is disrupting your investigation into… the others."

"The King?" He scoffed at that. "She must be drunk or stupid."

You then spoke. "Is that why he is always so wounded?"

That made you walk away, but the Hand's Voice stopped you. "Lucien." He said with a commanding tone. You turned, hiding, yet facing him. "If you are going to be playing this game, you might want to try and make sure you aren't recognized. Very few boys, let alone people know of the king's injuries." He then let you go with a nod. "I'll make sure Daemon doesn't know you are playing courier to information."

Reward: You learn that Viserys is the one roaming the city in a Bat costume… And he is disrupting several plans.

And Otto has been helping the King with his escapades and keeping them hidden from Daemon.

The King was incredulous as he smiled at you among his councilors. He was incredibly happy with your arrival, and Daemon was there as well.

It took you a moment to see Rhaenyra was there as well, pouring cups of celebratory wine into the cups of all the lords. "So this is how the Great Prince of the city handles worker strikes. Committing treason and siding with the workers, seeing their plight and forcing my port authority to be given much to… other matters." He seemed to cross, but you could see just how happy he was beneath the surface. "Yet you decide to take their side, plead their case, and after months… productivity is higher. The city makes more money, and I wonder why it was not changed sooner."

Several lord's of the council, most noticeably, Lord Beesbury, were looking shamelessly at the ground. "So… Do you all have something to say?"

"The Prince is well suited for much of the many of our jobs."

You then stopped the lord's from their rehearsed speeches, and you took a moment to scoff. "You honor me your grace, but I do my duty." You stated. "If people stop me, they will know, and they will be punished."

That made Viserys Smile. "Indeed."

Viserys then turned to them. "I might make him a member of this council. If you incompetents don't do your jobs properly."

Reward:

You have embarrassed many of Viserys' Small Council, and they are shaping up, or shutting up.

And that means in the future, things might be better. As well as less factionalism.

Otto really likes you.

Yesh, Viserys hates these lords, Don't blame him

"She says she received word from the Sparrow. They believe the King is the one who is the Bat. and he is the one who is disrupting your investigation into… the others."
Last thing I expected, Well played QM lol who expected the King to be the Bat

Just like who expected the rich playboy Bruce Wayne to be batman.
 
Happy to see the strike goes well, the right choose after all. But the king being Batman is one hell of a thing and that might be dangerous for his health later.
