[OOC] Blood Runs Over Westeros: A Game of Thrones RP

[FourtyTwo]

8.2 percent cider is speaking (I have finished the bottle an hour ago..it's some fucking strong shit, and I am a lightweight). Lol. I'll add it is what I meant, I will be writing it now. Parts of it will be unfinished, as I need to sleep soon- but otherwise, it should be mostly done. Abe will know this- I am a fan of writing armor to what equates to potentially a pornographic fucking level of description :D No, but seriously, I will implement a whole host of things going on in Highgarden, which cumlates.

I should add, @agentmanatee. If you can see everything, then sleight of hand is perfect to see what you see next. Taking your eyes off one thing, to observe the other immediate threat. I am not even speaking about the Yunkish raids, that's ANOTHER sleight of hand on top of that sleight of hand. When you see it happen, it serves as a way to actually throw a few collabs between Apaolo, Blue, me and Abe. They call him The Young Rose for a reason...and it's not because he's a prick. :D

[Apoalo]

Meanwhile Dorne will be exploring... Yes Exploring!! The Stormlands... *shifty eyes*

YOU SEE NOTHING!

[bloonewb]

Not when there are 10000 Highgarden knights reinforcing the ranks, you won't

[FourtyTwo]

@bloonewb

Ah. About that. You're gonna see Garland's response. It's an interesting one, as there's lots of layers to it. Carrot and Stick is the main theme of his letter, I will say. Carrot they get the Stormlands help, or the Stick they get up the ass and throat if they don't.

[FourtyTwo]

Oh, and to only BEGIN to describe this armour porn that may decend in this post:



This is the effect I was aiming for, and the only fucking reason I haven't got a picture of Loras Tyrell is...actually, fuck it. Just fucking imagine Loras Tyrell in armor, there you go.

[bloonewb]

Your picture of Garland DOES sort of look like Loras . . .

[FourtyTwo]

It isn't. Actually a drawing of GARLAN Tyrell...secondborn son of Mace, you see what I did there? There was a Reach Lord called Garland, if you must know, it's derivatives on the name Gareth, I believe. But yeah, long, beautiful brown hair, a well built figure, a beard to die for, good looks, and that's just the men! Wait...

[Apoalo]

Hey Agent. Sorry I ninje'd i'm back when/if you want to continue tonight. I got about hour and a half or so.

I highly doubt Garland would send 10000 Knights to defend you while having to worry about Tyget and the North. But it's possible. Like I said, Eleina will see how it goes. =p

[FourtyTwo]

10,000 Knights? Garland is flicking his finger in what he's using in the Reach's power. Remember though...in an era like that, people starve easy. He doesn't want to deploy men needlessly. The Knights of the Reach are also fucking landholders too, they have peasants who work the wheat fields and make bread to sell in markets. He's already sent 10,000 into King's Landing. He has another 10,000 on the borderlands, and another 12,000 he's sending to KL with his own forces. That's already 32,000 men we have accounted for, just under half. If the Reach wanted to, it COULD send another 10,000 to the Stormlands, and actually, this is a viable move later on. Right now? Peasants collecting grain. But a good number of mercenaries are coming from Yunkai, not just the raiders off the Westerlands, an actual force that could be deployed immediately to King's Landing, in number, though they're weeks out. It's soft power, it's careful maneuvering of the pieces. All it would take is one provocation, and bang, there would be no excuse, there's almost 90,000 that could be deployed in retaliation, not just in one place, but spread like a fucking scourge, and then the Stormlands will be the last thing on Garland's mind.

And anyway, Garland's letter is frank as fuck, tbh. He doesn't pull all the punches, but it will be a message that says "Please, please, just pull your head out of your ass, fight these people, and I'll give you everything you ask for, in return for an alliance." So the way Gris responds decides whether he basically ends up with his head on a pike or being forced to do shit he really, really does not like doing, also involving Tarthmen, to keep in Garland's good books.

[Apoalo]

Well honestly, even if Eleina DID decide to invade, it wouldn't be a typical invasion. She's all about using her new Cavalry tactics to hit and run, shock and awe. Letting the peasants deal with the rest. Her only concern would be to eliminate as many Knight's as possible and retreat back to the Boneway while those unfortunate to be in the Stormlands have to deal with peasant uprisings, food burned and waiting for the next attack to come out of no where.

And should someone decide to come near the Boneway well... Lots of death.

[bloonewb]

Does your letter want to discuss it with anyone that can make a decision, or did you ask for Gris personally?

[Bluetommy]

writingthis fro a nintendo 3ds, but anyways, cannot wait to see your post konrad, talk to u guys tomorrow

[Abefroeman]

A few quick requests. One, could we get an exact count, or a very close estimation, of how many Dragons there currently are? Tied into that, where their locations are. I.E. Breeding/living wild on Dragonstone, living in the Dragon's Pit, etc. And lastly, is there anything I need to do, or I am good for a little before another post?

[FourtyTwo]

Gonna heavily edit that post, it is there with most of it's core content, but there are pieces I want to edit soon.

Edit complete. Hopefully, it works out well enough, there may be bits that are fucked, and I shall resolve them at some point.

@Apoalo*slowly pushes over a crate of beautiful scented candles*
Your dirty heathen fire religion...eh, how about you put converting the Vale last on your list, yeah?

But no, the Vale is all about faith in the Seven, right?

[FourtyTwo]

Hmm, thinking over what I said about a battle near King's Landing, an epic sequence comes to mind. Not all too rosy for the Tyrells either, but it would be interesting to see how it plays out- though I'll save it for my next post in a collab with Agent

[Bluetommy]

@Abefroeman I'd say there's around five In the Dragon pit, and maybe 12 on dragonstone.

[BoredOnion]

Hey, I was recommended to come here by Manatee. I'm pretty interested in joining the RP, but I'm not 100% sure what slots are open.

[Bluetommy]

@BoredOnion You can play an Essosi, a Targaryen claimant, or (since all major houses are filled) A minor house.

[BoredOnion]

@bluetommy2 What about the King Beyond the Wall? I noticed that he was a listed character, but it said no one was playing him in the characters tab.
