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

Little Jeyne being not so little anymore is still doing well.

I wonder who Lord Borros will try to betroth his daugthers to? Cregan?

And Larys is playing dolls with Lord Kermit...
 
Sorry about things
Little Jeyne being not so little anymore is still doing well.
I mean, she's ready to start making friends and kicking ass.

Not necessarily in that order.
I wonder who Lord Borros will try to betroth his daugthers to? Cregan?
The Lannisters and maybe Maelor is Larys plans works.
And Larys is playing dolls with Lord Kermit...
Oh its worse then that. Lord Confessor Larys Strong has got some... interesting plans and hijinks planned.
 
Hmmm well looks like the Martells are back in power with the help of Aegor. Question is do they now serve the Iron Throne?

Either way Aegor family is becoming pretty powerful. Making allies in the Riverlands, Iron Islands and now Dorne.

That depends on Viserys next turn, and if his councilers don't fuck it up.

Because Vizzy T has some issues he needs to get through.

Plus there is also Aegor becoming... a little more pro dornish for his own reasons.

Also, I have a new action that you all will love.
 
I mean, she's ready to start making friends and kicking ass.
Guess I will make more plans for omakes, I wonder if she will meet Jessamyn Redfort in the ball?
The Lannisters and maybe Maelor is Larys plans works.
Good choice for him I guess, however I hope Larys plans with Maelor fails. I prefer Maelor married to a Harlaw than a Lannister.
Also, I have a new action that you all will love.
Please tell its [] Beat the shit out of Daemon or [] Beat the shit out of Aegor
 
Alright actually I'll give you the action because its so funny to me, and it's hilarious to think about.

The Queer Customs of the Targaryen Family: "Alicent, what are you and Rhaenyra doing?" You were starting to think this entire castle was going to be asking questions. "Can I join?" Laena asked. You facepalmed. What was wrong with this house?

Guess I will make more plans for omakes, I wonder if she will meet Jessamyn Redfort in the ball?
I'll allow it.
Good choice for him I guess, however I hope Larys plans with Maelor fails. I prefer Maelor married to a Harlaw than a Lannister.
Well Laeys is very good at his job.
Please tell its [] Beat the shit out of Daemon or [] Beat the shit out of Aegor
Those are adventures, not actoins.
 
So you may have noticed that Visanya is not having a roll.

Much as I loathe taking away agency from a charecter… she is unfortunately a prisoner
 
Fuck The Emperor. All my homies hate the Emperor.

On another note no overwhelming failures but a lot of plotting, I'm also curious about something. Did Laura never think to influence or approach Lucien?

Like if we didn't know and control most of his motivations he'd be the ideal member to back for the throne if he's willing to get down and dirty. Or did Mushroom get to us first :V

I believe that for completely scientific reasons we should most definitely pick this, and even more interesting if it rolls a 69 :V

Also I know IC Lucien is kinda annoyed by Aegor but how well allied would you consider us?
 
Fuck The Emperor. All my homies hate the Emperor
Well Daemon is certainly trying to get to the emperor for various reasons…

Partially because history is going to give him a cool title and also because…

Well… Fun magic bullshit.

Larys is more interested in power in the riverlands…

Not abroad. So he is not.
Like if we didn't know and control most of his motivations he'd be the ideal member to back for the throne if he's willing to get down and dirty. Or did Mushroom get to us first :V
Mushroom is a far better spymaster then Larys is, because he's not interested in securing power for himself…

He's just helping out a friend and getting paid while doing it.
I believe that for completely scientific reasons we should most definitely pick this, and even more interesting if it rolls a 69 :V
Careful, Magoose dice are real.
Also I know IC Lucien is kinda annoyed by Aegor but how well allied would you consider us?
He is kinda…

Willing but not considering his current position would place him as a junior partner. Not the senior one
 
As in what terms? I was more asking if things came down to it would he be someone we can rely on for aid?
Aegor is willing to abuse the system of Allience a he will inevitably create for his own power to cement his rule.

Now on the surface it's fine, the problem is two fold: if we give him money there is no way to legally get him to return it without a royal decree

Two: Dorne has interests in the Stepstones and it may lead to trouble.

Meaning if we break bread, the calculus of our rule changes

And There Are Lives That Are Lived
And There Are Lives That Are Lived:

You looked at Rhaenyra and felt her growing belly. "You know, I hope it's a girl," Rhernyra stated as she felt the kick of her babe in her belly. "Only because a boy would be fussy and then would try and make me feel bad."

You smiled. "All I know is that you are with child, and you shouldn't worry or do something my mother would not allow."

The simple news of your mother, or rather the lack of news was concerning. The same news that made you feel silent, and filled with a strong and unending sense of longing. "Are you-" Rhaenyra tried to say something, but you nodded, and just walked away. "Lucien." She tried to stop you.

But you ignored her and walked away from her.

You didn't want to hear anything… You just wanted to have hope.

Even false hope that only existed in your mind.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was Vaegon who found you, but not for the reasons you want to find. There was so much you wished to bury, but instead, finding yourself unable to stop.

"I want my family back." You whispered, like a child finally realizing the reason he was alone, in the dark… in a cave with a Dragon.

But Vaegon gave you a small tap on your shoulder before he looked out into the horizon. "They will be."

"How are you so certain?" You asked.

"Because your father doesn't seem like the type of man who gives up… something his sons share." He then held out a letter. "From Beala." He said. "She has news of your father."

"What?"

"He destroyed a Yi-Ti Fleet." He replied. "But no one knows anything else."

He's alive. "Thank you Maester."
-------------------------------------

You have 10 actions.

Governmental Actions

[]Ships For Fun and Profit: You don't want to do this, but the Stepstones do not have the lumber industry to actually support building a fleet. Now it seems you have to buy ships from other markets.

[]The Army of Pirates and Sellswords: Lord Westerling is asking you for some help. He is finding it difficult to find good men who are willing to soldier for him. Mostly because they are refugees that are tired of that difficult life… or pirates who do not like following orders.

[]Lord Tabasco's Devious proposal: Lord Tabasco has gathered his house and court to meet you. "Prince Lucien, we have a problem, that I belive we can solve."

[]Pirates and Peace: You need to reign in the Brethren Court. Mostly to make sure you get your share of the loot, once they finally get licensed.

[]And the King Called: You have been summoned to court to give some answers. And have many questions asked as well.

[]The Last Light: Gawayne Hightower is something of an enigma, but there is something that fills you with pride as he comes to you and smiled. "I hope you don't need me too long?"

[]We Are Family: Daemon's Daughters are ridding down to speak to you, something about news from your father. And what is happening to Daemon?

[]The Easts Trade Routes: You currently sit on the most important Trade Node in the Narrow Sea. Time to make use of it to get favorable trade deals.

[]The Aftermath: Aegor, the Prince Consort of the Principality of Dorne, has a few requests to make before he forces Dorne to Bend the knee to Viserys. "I just need some assurances."

[]And the Rivers Bleed: Harwin Strong came to you with a very disturbing report. "I believe my father is committing High Treason."

[]The Hand who Left: Otto Hightower only smirked as he walked into the room. "You must be wondering why I am here, besides the future of this new line of Hightower?"

Personal Actions:

[]And Their World Became Fire: You looked at Grey Ghost and placed your head against his neck. "Do not wish for this bond my brother… It never ends well."

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

[]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)

[]Teach a Skill: You want to train your wives, how to do something you know. (Any skill you have that is master rank or above can be taught. Can teach your wives and children.)

[]The Dancing of Dragons: You must teach your children something incredibly important. These Dragons are not pets. They are intelligent creatures… and powerful ones as well. They must understand that they may look pretty. But they are deadly.

[]Lighting the Way: Alicent is drawing in… what you can only describe as a wish for overwork. Something is gnawing at her. Then she showed the letter from her brother. About a problem.

[]The Old, True, and Honest: Laena finally came to you with her insecurities. "I don't want to be a mother. I'm… Afraid."

[]The Queer Customs of the Targaryen Family: "Alicent, what are you and Rhaenyra doing?" You were starting to think this entire castle was going to be asking questions. "Can I join?" Laena asked. You facepalmed. What was wrong with this house?


[]Plot: You want to start a Plot (Enter a Plotting Miniturn)

Well, there are so many things to do...

I was hoping that we could go for the "Teach Time Management x3" this turn...

Ok, We need to take all these actions, they seem incredibly important and time-sensitive...

And since we seem to be going in an adventure I kind of want to spend time with our family and dragon...

Alternatively, we could go for a Training montage to round up Lucien´s Skills, especially diplomacy and intrigue

[]Train a Skill: Court Diplomacy
[]Train a Skill: Court Intrigue
[]Train a Skill: Camouflage
[]Train a Skill: Theatrics

Thoughts?
 
Ok these are my two proposed plans

[] Plan: Family and Duty.
-[]And the King Called: You have been summoned to court to give some answers. And have many questions asked as well.
-[]We Are Family: Daemon's Daughters are ridding down to speak to you, something about news from your father. And what is happening to Daemon?
-[]The Aftermath: Aegor, the Prince Consort of the Principality of Dorne, has a few requests to make before he forces Dorne to Bend the knee to Viserys. "I just need some assurances."

As I said before this is to go ASAP to the most relevant/time-sensitive actions and spend the rest of the time with our family

[] Plan: Duty and Training
-[]And the King Called: You have been summoned to court to give some answers. And have many questions asked as well.
-[]We Are Family: Daemon's Daughters are ridding down to speak to you, something about news from your father. And what is happening to Daemon?
-[]The Aftermath: Aegor, the Prince Consort of the Principality of Dorne, has a few requests to make before he forces Dorne to Bend the knee to Viserys. "I just need some assurances."

-[]And Their World Became Fire: You looked at Grey Ghost and placed your head against his neck. "Do not wish for this bond my brother… It never ends well."
-[]Train a Skill: Court Diplomacy
-[]Train a Skill: Court Intrigue
-[]Train a Skill: Camouflage
-[]Train a Skill: Theatrics

Ok this one also goes for the most important government action, but in this case I have focused in reducing the weak points of Lucien (Diplomacy and Intrigue), but we are pretty much abandoning our family for this turn.

Thoughts?

I am going to sleep so I won´t be able to answer for several hours.
 
I like plan family and duty it has everything I want. However for the second plan I think we can not afford to skip teaching our children about dragons.
 
[X]Plan: The Plangeance, The Revival
-[X]Ships For Fun and Profit: You don't want to do this, but the Stepstones do not have the lumber industry to actually support building a fleet. Now it seems you have to buy ships from other markets.

6/4 split on government and family actions. Getting a navy is profoundly important for literally anything we want to be able to do so taking that is a must for me, meeting with Davion with his scheme is interesting and figuring out what's going on with Daemon's family has been a running theme of this quest so why not keep it running. Eastern trade routes to get some sweet revenue from the trade center we're currently sitting on, and meeting with Aegor to insure we have a friend in Dorne. Finally meeting with Harwin to discuss accusation of treason, which are very heavy indeed. For personal actions I've picked doing the dragon bond thing, for the anime protag bullshit, and teaching our kids that dragons are not pets or things to be trifled with, as I want all of them to live to see our age. And to round it all off taking the two wife actions to chill out Alicent and make Leana comfortable. I personally thing we can hold off on the family action for while, as we are currently having to divide our focus on being a good family man and running a country.
 
[X] Plan: Family and Duty.
-[X]And the King Called: You have been summoned to court to give some answers. And have many questions asked as well.
-[X]We Are Family: Daemon's Daughters are ridding down to speak to you, something about news from your father. And what is happening to Daemon?

Ok my reasoning is the same as before, the actions with the Twins, Aegor, Viserys and Harwin doesn't only seem time sensiteve, but also extremely important and Otto has a great synergy with the others because it allow us to get some much needed context to what is happening.

And then I am focusing the rest of actions in our family, because we are not an asshole.
