Hey, Jaime, you fancy upgrading from Kingslayer to Emperorslayer?
(I'm only half-joking here. Considering Jaime's Track Record, he may have the best chance against this Guy in a straight-up fight.)
No, he's the Mad Jester of Volantis, not King's Landing. Kefka.

-[X]Dany: She is exhausted from the travels and hopes that you will have several weeks staying in one place, so she can rest and recuperate from the travel. She was not used to traveling like that for long distances or time. She also says that she has a new song she wants to share with you.
-[X]Oberyn: He will freely admit, that while the experience was worthwhile…he would have trouble going with the dragon again. There is also a report that he wishes to talk to you about.
-[X] Brynden Tully: His old bones were quivering from the traveling. "Solid Earth where men belong. Oh your Grace, what is it?"
-[X] Mandon Moore: The Silent knight finally spoke for the first time in your memory, to you. That wasn't a grunt of some sort. "Hm. It seems you finally remembered I can talk."
-[X]Gulltown: The Seat of…House Arryn of Gulltown, the people the Graftons are trying to get their home back from… are a bit more mindful and trade-oriented than their martial cousins, and they have deep ties to Bravvos. Troubling but realistic. The Graftons have been setting their sights on at least buying much of the city to try to force them out. So… there is a great potential… for horrible things to happen, and you need to stop it before it gets worse.

No.
In fact, he is nowhere near Westeros right now. In fact, he's stuck in Asshai... Doing some super villain things, because he's this universe's version of Ra's al Ghul.
Barry has a better chance of killing him than Jaime.
In fact, Jaime would get his ass kicked by this guy in a straight-up fight.
At least right now.
I'm serious though, Jaime would be slaughtered by this guy, even if he had Valyrian Armor.
He needs more training, magic and power.
Please note, I did not show you his spells list.
This guy is a fucking wizard.

Since I doubt we'll only have this one Action in the Vale, that should work for now.

Titles: The Sapphire, Mother of the Dragon Prince, Mistress of Death, The Jewel Sister. "Sis" by Ruby, "Mommy" By Daemon
Aliases: None
Age: 24
Description:
A Slave of Valyrian decent, some even say she is descended from the Dragonlords themselves, sold into slavery by her father with her sister to pay off debt and for their father's greed, and political career. All before she was 3. While she was trained to be a sex slave, she showed promise, not only in flexibility but in ruthlessness. She was then trained as an assassin for the Mysterious Sirens of Volantis.
Her first mission was to kill traitors for the Tigers.
However, the mission that defined her life was when she was tasked to seduce, convert or kill Viserys Targaryen, when he saved Volantis, to bring him into the old ways of Valyria, of slavery, decadence, and Dragonfire. But his will and his ability in bed were too much even for the sisters to partake. Ensnared by his charisma, his gentleness, and his empathy, when not fucking each other, they fell in love with him, despite the Sun Snake from the west winning his heart.
She bore his child and realized that her father would use the child to conquer Westeros, and restore the Empire.
Now she works to escape, with her sister, her daughter, and her child, to get back to Viserys, and let their children live.

So how to kill an immortal man? There's always the fate worse than death route and trap him somewhere like buried alive or lock him in a box and throw it in the sea. A fun idea I had is convincing the faceless men to go after him as he goes against their "all men must die" religion.
[X]Plan: Deeper Connections & Breaking Some Fingers

It took a moment for you to finally be alone with each other, but you allowed yourself to relax around her, as she realized when you were alone. She was resting by a small stream, resting her tired feet in the cool water as she saw you. "Tired?" You asked as you removed your boots and sat down next to her on the rocky embankment, allowing yourself to relax a little as she shrugged.
"Out of all the travels and adventures we had, we have never had the pleasure of wandering around on dragon back and foot? Do you know how tiring it is?" She asked, playfully as she watched her reflection in the still water.
"Well I never expected to have a Dragon, so you got me there." You smiled as you ruffled her hair. It caused Dany to push you away. "Something on your mind sweet sister?"
At that, Dany looked away conflicted about what she was about to say. "I wonder how much politics goes into your thinking about a family?"
That made you raise an eyebrow. "Meaning?"
"Your push for more children, making friends with the bannermen. You are trying to prove your strength by being patient. Being controlled." She nodded. "Is that why you brought me because you think you may need a little more bite in making everything go well?"
At those words, you nodded. "Politics are never easy when the family is involved. Especially when the King of Westeros is concerned.' You sighed as you realized what you said. "I guess I'm just afraid that when I die, there will be chaos, and my children, our children, will have to suffer the consequences for our actions." you paused as thought of the next words. "I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I will not give them the tools and the scenario that will make their reign truly great. And that keeps me up at night."
Dany nodded, realizing that you were confiding in her, as always. "Then let me cheer you up a little."
She then hummed and began to sing.
It was her best work.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X]Oberyn: He will freely admit, that while the experience was worthwhile…he would have trouble going with the dragon again. There is also a report that he wishes to talk to you about.
Prince Oberyn was happily whistling a tune as you joined him on his sitting rock, and he was happy to see you. "Your Grace!" He bowed his head. "Do you need a throne?"
"Not particularly." You stated as you took a moment to sit down next to him, and watched the Fog roll down the mountains. "Oberyn, I need you to be honest with me?"
"I always am?" he said, seriously, despite the grin on his face that showed he was relaxed as if he was a cat playing with its prey.
"I need to know that report you wish to tell me about?" You asked.
That made Oberyn frown. "I would think that we would wait until we have more suitable accommodations, not here in the middle of the forest?"
You nodded. "I believe they are perfect accommodations for this report." You replied.
That made Oberyn sigh as if he did not wish to say the words that were next. "Are you sure you wish to know about this now?" He asked.
You nodded. "Yes."
That made Oberyn frown and then let out a shaky breath.
What happened?:D1000 => 217
He took a moment to breathe. "Do you believe in monsters?"
You shook your head. "Oberyn, please, not is the time to be-"
"I'm asking you a question." He stated. "Do you believe in Monsters?"
You finally relented. "Yes."
Oberyn then shook his head. "Good, then you will not think me insane when I tell you this." He showed you the report. "From the Bone mountains. The Matriarchal clans and the All Fathers… there have been reports that there are changes among the children. They have become stronger… The girls are growing tails like snakes and growing far more powerful in arts that are frankly magical."
You raised an eyebrow. "I have heard much talk of magical nature, but I have never heard it changing people into monsters?"
"That is why I am bringing it to your attention." He states as he took a moment to wipe his face, and weight seemed to hold him down. "I have fears that, if these stories are true… things might happen here in Westeros, and the Faith may exploit it."
You nodded. "Thank you for letting me know."
There was a quiet moment between the two of you.
And the world, for but a brief moment, went cold.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X] Brynden Tully: His old bones were quivering from the traveling. "Solid Earth where men belong. Oh your Grace, what is it?"
You looked at the Blackfish, and he was resting, watching the horizon of the mountains. "The Hill clansmen won't come here now. To far onto the roads."
"Thank you Blackfish." You stated. "But what of the Vale themselves? The rumors of Fire and Blood?"
That made the Blackfish look at you for a moment. "I do not know, at least give you an answer that you would agree. But there was a rumor, a story told by the hill tribes that The Burned Men were first formed, they claimed that their leader was immune to Dragonfire."
You raised an eyebrow. "A Basterd of the Targaryen and the Dance?" You asked.
"I know nothing of it, your grace, only a single pisswater prince was known, and he became Aegon the Thirds best friend and supporter."
"We did not know for certain, the Dance was a chaotic and brutal time," Blackfish replied. "But one rumor persists. There is a dragon or their bones in this mountain."
----------------------------------------------------------
-[X] Mandon Moore: The Silent knight finally spoke for the first time in your memory, to you. That wasn't a grunt of some sort. "Hm. It seems you finally remembered I can talk."
You stood by the man and allowed him to look at you before you looked closer. The Shatterpoint seemed like a black hole, instead of binding and cracking with the world around him, it seemed to be mended, or disappear into the blackness.
"Ser Mandon, I command you to speak. I want to speak to you, with your words, not your grunts."
The knight grunted before he spoke. "Than ask your grace?"
"Have you taken a vow of silence?" You asked.
"No." He replied.
"Then I must ask, why do you not speak, or join us in the revelry of our companionship?" You asked.
Mandon took a moment to think. Then he looked at your dragon and then back to you. "You put little thought into how you speak to others. I merely consider my every word carefully."
"And why do you do that?" You asked.
"Words are wind." He replied as he looked at the fog. "Once said, they can never be taken back."
"And that is why you do not speak?" You asked.
Mandon seemed angered at the words, or rather frustrated. "I chose not to speak because when I speak, the people I love die."
You nodded. "I'm sorry."
"If you wish for me to speak more your Grace, remember that you would cause what is to come." He replied.
"Then I ask one more thing?" You questioned. "Who died to make you silent?"
Mandon then looked at the fog, now inching ever closer. Listening to wolves howling in the distance. "My hope for a better world. That had to die for me to learn the most painful lesson of all."
"There are no heroes in this world. Only killers."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X]Gulltown: The Seat of…House Arryn of Gulltown, the people the Graftons are trying to get their home back from… are a bit more mindful and trade-oriented than their martial cousins, and they have deep ties to Bravvos. Troubling but realistic. The Graftons have been setting their sights on at least buying much of the city to try to force them out. So… there is a great potential… for horrible things to happen, and you need to stop it before it gets worse.
When you arrived, all of Gulltown seemed silent, everything stopped.
Ships stopped sailing, the docks became silent, and the entire castle keep was abuzz with activity.
And you saw many things.
The Gulltown Problems?:D1000 => 117
You saw many things that made you see it was prosperous and healthy. Many great ships, many people, and even the septs and septons, along with a few eastern Rhllor priests that were preaching in the more foreigner districts.
However, something rotten was air.
Something that wreaked of death.
And something sinister was here… something that made you feel unsafe.
-----------------------------------------------
Who do you talk to? (The Court):
(Choose 2)
[]Arianne: She is finally glad to be resting in a warm, comfortable castle where her every need is tended to. She looks utterly ravishing as well, as she once again shows her pregnant body to you, as she waits for you at night.
[]Dany: You caught her talking to a boy! Oh, scandalous… wait that came out wrong, what is she doing? And who the hell was she talking to?
[]Aegon: Egg came to you with his sword by his side. "Something is wrong here, dreadfully wrong."
[]Bonifar: He was praying when you found him. "Evil has seeped into this place. You would do well to prey to the seven for many things. Protection is one of them."
[]Oberyn: He had another report from the East. This time, from Alesander himself. A report that frightened you.
[]Jon Snow: You looked at the young man and ponder for a moment, what he wants to do. Then he gives you an answer. "Your Grace, do you believe in Destiny?"
[]Sansa Stark: She was a bit unaware that you were following her, but you saw her with a dashing young rouge. Who's shatter point was not like Mandons… No His was something worse. It was not the shape of a human. But a monster.
What do you do?:
[]Rest in the Keep?: You have been traveling long and hard for the past two weeks. Kick up your feet and enjoy the company of the Gulltown Arryns.
[]Rest in the Inn of the Howling Moon: You will make your allies know who you stand with your allies long past. The Graftons will host you in the city.
[]Hold Court immediately: You will put an end to this madness right now. And you will make sure that whoever is truly worthy of this city, and its lands will host it. Or you could force them to accept one another and solve nothing.
AN: Enjoy. Also the Kingsguard are going to be not available because they are doing their own adventures in the city.
Mostly because Jaime decided to be the fucking Hero again.
Plan format please
-[X]Dany: She is exhausted from the travels and hopes that you will have several weeks staying in one place, so she can rest and recuperate from the travel. She was not used to traveling like that for long distances or time. She also says that she has a new song she wants to share with you.
It took a moment for you to finally be alone with each other, but you allowed yourself to relax around her, as she realized when you were alone. She was resting by a small stream, resting her tired feet in the cool water as she saw you. "Tired?" You asked as you removed your boots and sat down next to her on the rocky embankment, allowing yourself to relax a little as she shrugged.
"Out of all the travels and adventures we had, we have never had the pleasure of wandering around on dragon back and foot? Do you know how tiring it is?" She asked, playfully as she watched her reflection in the still water.
"Well I never expected to have a Dragon, so you got me there." You smiled as you ruffled her hair. It caused Dany to push you away. "Something on your mind sweet sister?"
At that, Dany looked away conflicted about what she was about to say. "I wonder how much politics goes into your thinking about a family?"
That made you raise an eyebrow. "Meaning?"
"Your push for more children, making friends with the bannermen. You are trying to prove your strength by being patient. Being controlled." She nodded. "Is that why you brought me because you think you may need a little more bite in making everything go well?"
At those words, you nodded. "Politics are never easy when the family is involved. Especially when the King of Westeros is concerned.' You sighed as you realized what you said. "I guess I'm just afraid that when I die, there will be chaos, and my children, our children, will have to suffer the consequences for our actions." you paused as thought of the next words. "I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I will not give them the tools and the scenario that will make their reign truly great. And that keeps me up at night."
Dany nodded, realizing that you were confiding in her, as always. "Then let me cheer you up a little."
She then hummed and began to sing.
There must be light, burning brighter somewhere.
It was her best work.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X]Oberyn: He will freely admit, that while the experience was worthwhile…he would have trouble going with the dragon again. There is also a report that he wishes to talk to you about.
Prince Oberyn was happily whistling a tune as you joined him on his sitting rock, and he was happy to see you. "Your Grace!" He bowed his head. "Do you need a throne?"
"Not particularly." You stated as you took a moment to sit down next to him, and watched the Fog roll down the mountains. "Oberyn, I need you to be honest with me?"
"I always am?" he said, seriously, despite the grin on his face that showed he was relaxed as if he was a cat playing with its prey.
"I need to know that report you wish to tell me about?" You asked.
That made Oberyn frown. "I would think that we would wait until we have more suitable accommodations, not here in the middle of the forest?"
You nodded. "I believe they are perfect accommodations for this report." You replied.
That made Oberyn sigh as if he did not wish to say the words that were next. "Are you sure you wish to know about this now?" He asked.
You nodded. "Yes."
That made Oberyn frown and then let out a shaky breath.
What happened?:D1000 => 217
He took a moment to breathe. "Do you believe in monsters?"
You shook your head. "Oberyn, please, not is the time to be-"
"I'm asking you a question." He stated. "Do you believe in Monsters?"
You finally relented. "Yes."
Oberyn then shook his head. "Good, then you will not think me insane when I tell you this." He showed you the report. "From the Bone mountains. The Matriarchal clans and the All Fathers… there have been reports that there are changes among the children. They have become stronger… The girls are growing tails like snakes and growing far more powerful in arts that are frankly magical."
You raised an eyebrow. "I have heard much talk of magical nature, but I have never heard it changing people into monsters?"
"That is why I am bringing it to your attention." He states as he took a moment to wipe his face, and weight seemed to hold him down. "I have fears that, if these stories are true… things might happen here in Westeros, and the Faith may exploit it."
You nodded. "Thank you for letting me know."
There was a quiet moment between the two of you.
And the world, for but a brief moment, went cold.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X] Brynden Tully: His old bones were quivering from the traveling. "Solid Earth where men belong. Oh your Grace, what is it?"
You looked at the Blackfish, and he was resting, watching the horizon of the mountains. "The Hill clansmen won't come here now. To far onto the roads."
"Thank you Blackfish." You stated. "But what of the Vale themselves? The rumors of Fire and Blood?"
That made the Blackfish look at you for a moment. "I do not know, at least give you an answer that you would agree. But there was a rumor, a story told by the hill tribes that The Burned Men were first formed, they claimed that their leader was immune to Dragonfire."
You raised an eyebrow. "A Basterd of the Targaryen and the Dance?" You asked.
"I know nothing of it, your grace, only a single pisswater prince was known, and he became Aegon the Thirds best friend and supporter."
"We did not know for certain, the Dance was a chaotic and brutal time," Blackfish replied. "But one rumor persists. There is a dragon or their bones in this mountain."
----------------------------------------------------------
-[X] Mandon Moore: The Silent knight finally spoke for the first time in your memory, to you. That wasn't a grunt of some sort. "Hm. It seems you finally remembered I can talk."
You stood by the man and allowed him to look at you before you looked closer. The Shatterpoint seemed like a black hole, instead of binding and cracking with the world around him, it seemed to be mended, or disappear into the blackness.
"Ser Mandon, I command you to speak. I want to speak to you, with your words, not your grunts."
The knight grunted before he spoke. "Than ask your grace?"
"Have you taken a vow of silence?" You asked.
"No." He replied.
"Then I must ask, why do you not speak, or join us in the revelry of our companionship?" You asked.
Mandon took a moment to think. Then he looked at your dragon and then back to you. "You put little thought into how you speak to others. I merely consider my every word carefully."
"And why do you do that?" You asked.
"Words are wind." He replied as he looked at the fog. "Once said, they can never be taken back."
"And that is why you do not speak?" You asked.
Mandon seemed angered at the words, or rather frustrated. "I chose not to speak because when I speak, the people I love die."
You nodded. "I'm sorry."
"If you wish for me to speak more your Grace, remember that you would cause what is to come." He replied.
"Then I ask one more thing?" You questioned. "Who died to make you silent?"
Mandon then looked at the fog, now inching ever closer. Listening to wolves howling in the distance. "My hope for a better world. That had to die for me to learn the most painful lesson of all."
"There are no heroes in this world. Only killers."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X]Gulltown: The Seat of…House Arryn of Gulltown, the people the Graftons are trying to get their home back from… are a bit more mindful and trade-oriented than their martial cousins, and they have deep ties to Bravvos. Troubling but realistic. The Graftons have been setting their sights on at least buying much of the city to try to force them out. So… there is a great potential… for horrible things to happen, and you need to stop it before it gets worse.
When you arrived, all of Gulltown seemed silent, everything stopped.
Ships stopped sailing, the docks became silent, and the entire castle keep was abuzz with activity.
And you saw many things.
The Gulltown Problems?:D1000 => 117
You saw many things that made you see it was prosperous and healthy. Many great ships, many people, and even the septs and septons, along with a few eastern Rhllor priests that were preaching in the more foreigner districts.
However, something rotten was air.
Something that wreaked of death.
And something sinister was here… something that made you feel unsafe.
-----------------------------------------------
Who do you talk to? (The Court):
(Choose 2)
[]Arianne: She is finally glad to be resting in a warm, comfortable castle where her every need is tended to. She looks utterly ravishing as well, as she once again shows her pregnant body to you, as she waits for you at night.
[]Dany: You caught her talking to a boy! Oh, scandalous… wait that came out wrong, what is she doing? And who the hell was she talking to?
[]Aegon: Egg came to you with his sword by his side. "Something is wrong here, dreadfully wrong."

I don't like being here so let's have these two council us right now, now that we're here let's deal with the matter at hand, no favoritism just laying down the end all be all, whatever that looks like in the next update.

I'm surprised that you wanted to chose that...
Just a little.
Also, like some of the shit that Oberyn gave you, and the interesting reasonings behind the quietness of Mandon Moore?
I thought those were pretty good if I say so myself.

I'm looking at eggs quote and the general disposition of the city and I'm thinking assassins and ghosts, we're already interjecting in a power struggle (via realty legal scuffles) so whatever you throw at us, I want to deal with it quickly and move on to more pertinent matters, on Moore, he seems interesting with his "death of hope", I think in later turns I'd like to poke around in his head and see what he really thinks about things (and what heartstrings you can pull).
