The Heir of the Dragon: A Rhaenyra Targaryen Quest

Reader mode
I hesitate to take Wrath - it would push us towards violence, and that doesn't sit right with me with how much of a strong and imposing warrior Rhaenyra already is - but I feel like Vindictive fits thread behavior perfectly. And it leaves us space to strike back at our enemies in plenty of ways besides violence. With it, screwing Unwin over would've been blue, for one.

Plans... hmm. @Teen Spirit do I understand it right that Harp Practice and playing harp for Alicent would be somewhat redundant? Or would they instead enhance each other? What about Poetry - does it have more synergy with an entire Action than with half of a Conversation? (Just want to make sure I don't misunderstand something very basic about how this turn works)

Harp Practice and playing for Alicent basically means Rhaenyra practices a fair bit before playing for Alicent again.
 
[X] Plan: We need a chat with Male Velaryons.

-[X] [Conversation] Speak With Ser Josua Bar Emmon
-[X] [Action] Figure Out How to Improve your Knowledge of Warcraft

Okay I am content enough about the basic slate of current plans but still weighing the between Vindictive and Anger

and also the various Alicent dates.
-[] Have a Picnic in the Dragonstone Gardens [I feel this is a private and special option but not too Unique]
-[] Ride Horses across the Island [I fear cannibal but may open up meeting with people of Dragonstone]
-[] Go Shopping Together in the Markets of Driftmark [This is my primary preference to buy something both for Alicent and may be Qoren]
-[] Introduce Her to Syrax [The ideal Alicent date but not too Unique in regard to Dragonstone]
-[] Spend time in the Dragonstone Sept [Is this the Sept where Aegon vow to conquer Westeros? Rhaenyra's Kink.]
-[] Play Your Harp for Her Privately [Just quick choice because we are also playing Harp here]
-[] Write-in (Subject to QM Approval) [Any creative romantic type have any idea?]
Yeah opinion suggestion or may be just quip?
 
For the Alicent convo i do want to do the [] Spend time in the Dragonstone Sept option, it sounds interesting and I think Alicent would appreciate it
 
I don't like the Traits Vindictive and Wrath. They feel like they would come back to bite us in the ass too much later, and create very bad situations for Rhaenyra and her ideals of chivalry.

I find much more interesting her struggling to do the right thing than healing stress every time she lashes out against those that wronged her.

That way lays the path of canon Rhaenyra.

On one hand, almost certainly so.
On hte other hand, mysterious stress break traits are mysterious, and can anyone really resist a mystery box?

Agree, i love mystery boxes is Quests.

[X] [Aftermath] Feel Ashamed By Both and Try to Do Better
[X] Plan Spicetown Judgement

After the mess with the Lannisters and Westerlings, we absolutely need to find allies in the Velaryons.

And starting to study law by Holding Court is also very good. I also like the idea of more Harp exercise and playing for our subjects.

Vindictive
You have been belittled and chided for who you are and how you act since you were a child, and you take pride in having given as good as you got. It doesn't matter if it is a verbal or physical challenge, you will always make sure to get even with you enemies.
More likely to carry grudges over insults or opposition, but can relieve stress by acting against your rivals and enemies.

Hey Mystic pentagram, I plan to change all my plans Alicent actions from Harp-Market to Sept-Market, do you have any objection as the current voter of it? Thank you.
Edit* I think there is additional angle to consider for Vindictive. It probably is the trait that most fit trying to sneak behind Johanna back to access the children.

As has been stated, this fits thread behavior perfectly already. (Unwin Peake can burn in hell.) Also, I feel like Wrath for someone in Rhaenyra's position means a lot of collateral damage, whereas vindictive spite can be at least somewhat targeted.
