Stark Quest 2.0: The Search for Shinies

Atri said:
Even a sizable army would help us even the playing field. The Dothraki would be easier to take this way. And even if we somehow ally with Dany, we can still hide her away in the underground base.

Robert Baratheon went to war for Lyanna Stark, his great love. Do you guys not think that he'll come to rescue us with a huge-ass army after he hears that two of Ned's kids are in Pentos, fighting against Dothraki barbarians and Targs? He'll surely do it for that, and to get away from Cersei and her brood.

Getting a skill boost is nice, but we're gonna get there eventually anyway, because we're Harlon and we love leveling. Loot like the first shiny we're probably gonna find in time. Robert-"I'll smash your face in with a hammer"-Baratheon with hundreds or thousands of back-up soldiers? Priceless right now.

I think I would prefer avoiding a war right now, with Harlon known as the one responsible for starting it.

I would also prefer it if we did not unite the entirety of Essos against us.

I also doubt that the bonus would result in a fullscale war anyway. At best, Hightowers might send a shardbearer, realistically speaking.
 
@Mazrick Could you at least tell us if the help we'd get from Westeros would be significant?

It does not have to be full-scale war. But if it's enough to smash the Dothraki, why not? If this possible army does not make a move on the other cities, why should they care? Even the powerful guys of Pentos shouldn't be harmed all that much as long as they let us clean house.

@Mazrick, how much did we need to roll again on a 1d100 to hit someone from say 10 meters away?

What kind of roll to hit a moving target from 10 meters away?

What about to hit a moving target straight into the face from 10 meters away?

Here's the table (No ta'veren bonus applied):
Distance DC
5 m 10
10 m 20
15 m 40
20 m 80
25 m 100
   
A moving target gets a bonus to evading depending on how fast they're moving.

Yes.

Hmm. Hitting with even fire 4 is going to be tough. The enemies who matter (Drogo) will not be standing still (he will infact move fast thanks to his shards), and we cannot afford to get anywhere close without a plate of our own.

Fire 4 is cool, but not sure if it will actually offer significant combat boost? Hmm.
 
Leaning towards:
[X] Extreme Growth Spurt within one of the Three Magic disciplines the next time you train it. (+3 in the chosen spell; +1 in a discipline)
-[X] Naming
-[X] Fire

I just occurred me, if our Occult in general is a 4.5, Harlon's Blood magic is 4.5 too right? if we get a +1 in occult and a plus 3 in BM we will have a 7.5 on it. Even if we don't get +3 in BM a +1 in it, from the occult up is the best way to maximize the gains from the vote in relation to the xp.
All that blood... With this we could not even need the archmaester anymore.:cool:

-[X] Write-in. Mind magic (+1), Regeneration (+3)

Reasoning: I've thought about it long and hard, and come to the conclusion that this will give us the biggest boost to our learning rate while letting us try more dangerous stuff without risking our mind too much. Learning Ithroen's Name was a close second ( :p), but I don't think we want to go there yet, and the Name of Fire isn't all too hot (pun totally intended) and won't be of much use to us anyway, should we find Ithroen soon. After all, we don't get the bonus immediately, only during our next training session, and by that time we should have met up with or found Ithroen. If we haven't, we're fucked either way.
 
So, as Mazrick has confirmed that the help will be "significant", then I'm sure it'd be worth it. Considering the enemies surrounding us, "significant" can't mean twenty people plus Ned. They'd be slaughtered by the Dothraki. According to the wiki, Khal Drogo's khalasar is 40000 people strong. Significant help would mean that there would at least be a chance at surviving the odds.
 
Too many problems with receiving help IMO. We won't be able to move as freely (we'll have to coordinate at the very least), they might object to our methods (no Blood Glamour!), and they might fumble the delicate situation with the hostages and the Forsaken (I'm on to you, Atri! :p).
Besides, like I said, I don't want to share the XP and loot. :D
 
Yeah. Even with Fire 4, we simply can't pose any risk to Drogo. He will move fast enough to likely counter the +20 bonus from fire 4, and since we cannot get close, we would still need near critical hits to succeed in striking him at all (let alone in the face, which is the only weakness he has).

Help from home is actually less attractive now. I don't want to start a huge war which would be the only way to make a difference at this point. It would only further help the forsaken to establish control in different areas.

Changing to

[X] Extreme Growth Spurt within one of the Three Magic disciplines the next time you train it. (+3 in the chosen spell; +1 in a discipline)
-[X] Write-in. Mind magic (+1), Regeneration (+3)

With this, Harlon can risk learning Names more often and probably improve that way, and we can also risk observation a bit more. We will also need to sleep significantly less, so we will have more time to train anyway.
 
Ok... I'll go with regen too.

[X] Extreme Growth Spurt within one of the Three Magic disciplines the next time you train it. (+3 in the chosen spell; +1 in a discipline)
-[X] Write-in. Mind magic (+1), Regeneration (+3)

Reasoning: This helps us a lot long term, and I think we were capable of winning without.

Help from Westeros also means that Jorah and Drogo may go to the khalasar, rather than allowing us to handle them in a more subtle manner. I do not want this.

Guys I made a mistake.

The table should be in meters. Not feet.

Though remember that not all Shardplates have a visor to aim for.

We'd more likely be using Fire against other targets - his bloodriders or that horse. Still, I'm really hoping we find Ithroen.

I dunno. With Ithroen, the bloodriders are easily dealth with.

Without Ithroen, I am unsure if its even worth the risk of going after Drogo (right now). It would be tough to get Jorah without Ithroen, which would mean we could not overrun Drogo with multiple shardbearers, which is likely necessary to beat someone of his status.

Jorah is actually not a likely problem. We have the woman he loves. He'll do ANYTHING for the woman he loves. Hell, if we convert her to our side then we can outright just have her give him orders.
