@MrDidact

Hence my creation of Willas, Alerie, Merlin and Garlan as characters who offset my one that is :P

@Asura Oh that's up to you actually. I left the details of Victarion's demise vague. He could either have died in battle or died sometime after the war.

Well someone had to have taken care of the Pyke and I think Asha would have recognized the value of loyal bastards.

Do you still want to do a Dothraki sheet as well?

@kingkonrad Viserys is a pretty hardheaded dude and most of the rest of my PCs are badasses but controlled.
NPC Arya has turned downright scary though.

Honestly no clue. I'm trying to work out in my head how Dothraki could function in Westeros and not lose literally everything that makes them Dothraki.

@Asura Oh I'm sure a Dothraki mercenary band would be very popular to those with money and the Dothraki who followed Daenerys were still a quarrelsome and war-loving bunch who loved drinking and riding. They just couldn't enslave or murder innocents anymore.

@MrDidact

Pretty much. Respond to Willas/Alerie if you like btw as a short post, I think Abe wants to do a convo with me and actually has a titanpad prepped for the posting?

@kingkonrad Yeah I plan on responding to them in my forthcoming mini-update.

That's my beef with Dany. She thinks you can crumble thousands of years of tradition by crossing your arms and giving them a stern 'no'.

@MrDidact does Petyr still have time to get in on the melee if I get my first post in tonight?

That's my beef with Dany. She thinks you can crumble thousands of years of tradition by crossing your arms and giving them a stern 'no'.

I agree with this. Even with all my Dany love, there were some things about her that erred.

But I'm thinking Westeros, war, and twenty-five years later must have changed her mindset a little. :o

In Westeros nobody is legally allowed to pillage villages, slaughter peasants, and make off with the women, though we all know in times of war these things happen anyway but it's still a crime. The Ironborn can still reave but they're expressly forbidden to do so against citizens of the realm. And it's not like Dothraki can't still do it doggy style in front of everyone else, have lethal weddings, hunt the shit out of wildlife, and all the other fun stuff they do. The ones in Westeros just have to keep the king's peace like anyone else.

Dany is a pretty strong-willed person, not one for compromise, but war, marriage, having kids, and twenty-five years of ruling changed her a lot in this RP.

@agentmanatee Yeah but keep in mind it's gonna be a huge event and Jon likely won't interact with anyone besides Rhaegar. We're talking hundreds of fighters, so the odds of the king directly fighting anyone are pretty low and it's mostly a chance for your PCs to show off combat skill without hurting anyone too bad.

I just don't think they fit well with the Westerosi culture. Dany's answer of 'do what I say or I'll kill you' may be well and good, but is she gonna personally fly Drogon down to the Riverlands anytime a couple Dothraki decide to take what hundreds of years has proven to be theirs? It's like forcing the free folk to settle down into Feudalism; plausible but essentially neuters who they are.

@Asura thus the rebellion we're seeing in the rp

Actually that's one of the plot points of the RP. There's quite a bit of ethnic conflict up north between the wildlings and the other Northerners, and in the Riverlands between the native-born and the Essosi. There will always be those who won't follow the law however, and I'm sure there's bands of Dothraki outlaws and Wildlings raiders just as there are regular bandits. But we see that the Dothraki are perfectly capable of eschewing tradition to follow Daenerys and are seemingly content with being in her army. And the Thenns in the books aren't terribly far off from a fuedal system. It's not a black and white thing where all of them are shoeboxed one way or another. Some of them will be unhappy and some of them will adapt.

@MrDidact

>not hurting anyone to badly
>a medieval tournament melee

Kek. In seriousness I was just wondering if I had joined in times not really looking to meet the king on the field... still wouldn't rule it out tho XD

And in a melee with so many combatants serious injuries and deaths are going to happen. Plenty of broken bones and blunt force trauma. Most deaths won't happen till late from injuries sustained. Maybe one or two people could end up trampled to death tho. Not the pcs necessarily tho lol

Somebody post. I am itching to read good dialogue and story progression, and write another post.

I can give you subpar dialogue and half a mint milano.

@MrDidact Also, Make Westeros Great Again. Deport all them Dothraki rabble.

Ser Aerion has a dragon egg... So, all he has to do is take a nap next to it?

@Asura Don't tempt me with a good time.

@Abefroeman writing now

@agentmanatee It's one of those suspense of disbelief things. IIRC there weren't any serious casualties in either grand melee described in the books. Injuries yes, but no notable characters are noted as dying in either occasion. Of course there can be some deaths in our melee but for the sake of game progression let's avoid the deaths of PCs and important NPCs ie notable warriors and scions of noble houses.

@Abefroeman When the Dothraki send their people they're not sending their best.

There's honestly no firm defined method to hatch a dragon egg without committing a blood sacrifice as far as I can see, but presumably the Targs had one. But Aerion is the blood of the dragon so it should be possible for him to hatch an egg and ride a dragon, but that would definitely create a splash.

I'll have something late tonight or tomorrow.
