You made slow pace upstream, taking about a day's worth of rowing to go up north where the Bandit Lair was supposed to be. You did schedule it however since didn't exactly want to carry the boat through the darkness.

"Are you entirely sure about this? I was fairly certain the directions you gave were different from this."
Rake squirms as you pressure him.
"Erhm, I muss have juss remembered it wrong the first time. Don't worry. I'm sure I got it now boss, I juss needed to freshen my memory, yea?"
You narrow your eyes on him and hmmm at him.
"Wait boss, this is the place. Is real close by. Right there you see?"
He points at a stone with some runes carved upon it which you cannot understand.
Bringing the boat closer, you inspect it more closely.
"You know what these mean?"
"Not a clue boss, but it marks the land juss the same. We juss gotta follow them here stones to make the way to our base."
After an hour or so walking through the damp underbrush Rake stopped you
"It's just over there boss, maybe I oughta, you know, head first so we don't have any complications, yea? Smooth things over and what have ye."
You pull out your Myrish lenses. Yep, that's a sentry alright and their camp is fortified with wood.
"I've a better idea. Muskets at the ready lads and take a strong position."
Rake starts to get shaky
"W-wait, what are you doing?"
"Initiating negotiations."
"OI YOU CUNT IN THERE WATCHTOWER!"
https://youtu.be/MYwSekVf4Ss?t=40
The sleepy guard spasms at the sudden noise
"FETCH YOUR BOSS! WE ARE HERE TO PARLAY!"
He started blowing his whistle with all his might and man started to appear on the walls of their little bandit cave fort.

Large man in a breastplate appeared on the wall.
"WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT?"
"I WANT TO PARLAY!"
"WE ARE TALKING RIGHT NOW AREN'T WE?"
"I'M HERE TO RANSOM YOUR MEN AND YOUR BOATS!"
They start mulling it over a bit and the plate armored man yells.
"SEND ONE OVER."
"NO, YOU SEND ONE OVER!"
Again there's talking amongst the bandits, wondering exactly how to deal with the situation.
"WHO DO YOU EVEN HAVE?"
"ONE RAKE AND FIVE OTHERS!"
There's pause for a moment and a young boy is lowered down via a rope from the wall and he makes his nervously makes his way to you.
"I-I'm here to v-verify t-the goods m-mister."
"Rake? Do you know this boy?"
"Patsy, go tell boss to not fuck with these people. They got renegade knights and sorcerers on their side. If we pay them and sell them supplies, they'll leave us alone."
Patsy nods vigorously and looks at you.
"Go on then."
The little boy scurries off back to the fort.
Their boss rubs his eyes as the boy relays the message.
"I'LL GIVE YOU 20 SILVER PER MAN AND 100 SILVER PER BOAT!"

Guess this well has run dry.
Good thing you noticed that they really didn't want to try and fight their way out of this situation nor were they too keen on relocating their base in the event that you'd sell out their location to the authorities. Also, you get the feeling that they rather liked Rake.

The exchange went smoothly.
It was clear that they didn't want to fuck with you in this affair.

"I'll be honest Captain, I did not expect this to go this smoothly. I was prepared to pay extra for the supplies, but you managed to actually get them for free and then some."

As you were chatting with Randar, Rake decided to approach.
"Yanno, I did happen to err... overhear the discussion you had about yer route. I could offer you up some boys to help you get yer stuff up the Green fork. Our lads do know the way pretty well."
"And what'd you get out of this?"
"Juss... well, we'se got a fella who needs to make way to Harrowa's town in one piece, ye? Juss drop him and his luggage off in a walking distance when you'se pass by the town and we're square."

"Less heavy lifting? Rake, you got yourself a deal."
"Good stuff. CARROW! YOU'RE IN! HAUL ASS!"
Fairly normal looking guy appears. He is decently clothed and doesn't look like a fighter to you. He seems like your bog standard laborer to you from his demeanor. Maybe he's the one that helps them maintain their base?
"I'm Carrow, as stated by Rake there. On me way to Harroway."
"You live there or something?"
"Nah, I travel around and make my home wherever I can find a hearth."
"To each their own I suppose. How heavy is your luggage?"
He lifts his backpack "About this much?"
"Should not be a problem I suppose."
You think it's probably better not to ask too much questions when dealing with criminals.

It took the rest of the day to haul your ship and it's supplies across the land to the Green Fork. You and your entourage kept close watch for the potential ambush which did not happen.

After that it was smooth sailing.
Green fork seems to be far more used than Blue fork. Regular Kingsroad patrols too help to keep bandits from cropping up. It took about a week to reach Lord Harroway's Town. Seems prosperous enough, but nowhere near as prosperous as would befit it's position sitting on as a major lynchpin of Westerosi trade uniting east, west, south and the north.

As you begin to approach the town and the Banners of House Roote become visible, Carrow suddenly gets up and states.
"This far is good enough. Ask for Mollyflower in the Mead Fountain if you are interested in making some money on the side."

( You still have 20 days worth of supplies. )

Why is Wildfire the first thing everyone always thinks?
Yes, you're right in the sense that if there might be secret Targaryen Wildfire caches in the realm that belonged to members of Aerys' inner circle or some much older that have remained forgotten thus far.

It's rather unlikely that the river gang would have access to it.
Riverlands was more or less the center of the conflict. Any wildfire magazines that existed probably were long since spent in the war effort by one side or the other.

Wildfire is pretty damn expensive and you do need to have certain degree of status to buy it.
Then again, if you're capable of paying like 5 dragons a flask, you probably are not a peasant.

>Bail before the poor refugee you helped transport tries to enrich their culture with the teachings of Prophet Mohammed #pbuh, but is radicalized by their hateful racism.

Watching Carrow to veer off to a different direction you come to a conclusion.
We better keep this affair as incognito. "We'll skip Harroway. This ship has only so much cargo capacity for shady dealings."
"No offense to you Randar."
"None taken. I'm just glad that you've taken my concerns into consideration."
"Speaking of your concerns... If I were to ask which route would you go from here, what'd you suit you best?"
"Well, straight to Gulltown would be my first pick."
"It'd be pretty close you know. Even with the supplies we got from the bandits, 3-4 day delays could mean starvation, which is entirely possible if the weather is not favorable."
"Maybe... Quiet Isle? It's a refuge for faithful, sinners and convicts who have surrendered to the faith and taken an oath of silence to do penance."
Monasteries and Longships. What could possibly go wrong.
"And you're sure they'll trade with us?"
"I'm an anointed knight, so you needn't worry. Just don't go around spreading that you're not one of the faithful. Shouldn't be too hard. They ought not to ask too many questions in there."

What's your course?
>You have supplies for 20 days.
>Journey to Gulltown takes approximately 18 days without delays

"We'll get some supplies from Quiet Isle and then finish this business."
You set sail, passing Saltpans on the way to the Quiet Isle.
>Lost -1 Gold to toll checkpoints when sailing past Saltpans

The moment you hit land, you received some odd looks. Ser Randar immediately took the lead to talk with the proctors. He was pointed to the septry and he's been gone ever since.
The place was a complete sausage fest. No womenfolk whatsoever, just men wearing brown-and-dun robes with wide bell sleeves and their pointed cowls. Some of them were going full Ninja, covering their lower faces with wool to keep people so that only their eyes could be seen.

After about an hour of waiting, Ser Randar returned with the Proctor.
"The Elder Brother has decided to accede to your plight, on a condition."
You cross your arms.
"What exactly is this condition?"
"Come, walk with me, the Elder Brother shall explain it best."
You and Ser Randar start following the proctor's lead to the Septry that stands on the highest point in the Island.
"This Island is a refuge for those who have committed grave sins in their past, seeking to do right by the Seven before passing on to the next world by taking upon an oath of silence and dedicating themselves to honest labor in service of the Seven. Criminals, Broken Men and other sorts whose sins weighed them so that they could not possibly go home. All are gathered here. I trust you saw some of our bretheren covering their faces? Those who believe their sins to be sufficiently dire hide themselves here from the world. Few crimes warrant such measures."

As you walked through the serene landscape you did wonder to yourself if such men truly were such terrible criminals at one point. Then again, this is the place where the Hound's adventure ended, so who knows what manner of killers this place has to offer.

"So basically, this place serves similar purpose to the Wall, except people come here voluntarily."
"More or less. There would be no point if one did not seek penance of their own volition and in secret. After all, public manner of Justice of the Lords is to serve as deterrent. Private manner of ours is to serve to correct the wickedness from men. We believe in here that repentance cannot be forced upon people."

He stops as you reach the gates of the Septry.
"The Elder Brother waits inside. If you would come with me Ser Randar, we shall see to refilling your water supplies."
Randar does not seem particularly enthralled with the notion, but cannot seem to find the words to object this development.
"Just, straight in through here?"
"Yes, just straight in."

>>2045728

You enter into a very ascetic looking room. Austere in it's appearance, offering only bare minimums what are required for service to the gods.
"Welcome young one. I hear that you are the one who we are to thank for Ser Randar's safe arrival to our humble convent."
You were greeted by an old man who had his hair and beard completely shaven off.
"But where are my manners. I am the Elder Brother of this here Septry, overseeing to the needs of the faithful in this quiet island."
"Captain Eddard Manden of the Long Night. Also called Captain Teach."
He chuckles with a warm smile.
"Bit young you are to earn such a nickname."
"I'm told you were willing to offer to trade for supplies for some condition which I was told to ask you about."
"Yes, yes indeed. Sit please, have some bread and salt."
He points towards the tray right next to the door.
"All I ask of you is to simply to do a good deed unto this convent and in return, goodness too shall you receive."
"So... is this a roundabout way of asking for a donation?"
He laughs heartily
"Oh no, though many do in fact come here with coin in hand seeking to buy salvation. All we expect of you is simply that you will personally partake in the maintenance of this humble refuge for sinners for the duration of your stay."
You look at him a bit skeptically
"What exactly is your angle in this?"
"To merely spread the light of the Seven and in so doing, peace and goodwill to all."
He spreads his arms
"What do you say?"

That's a bad arguement. I doubt anyone else can write so we will be forced to do it our self. While building forges and upgrading them. We can dictate to any man on our crew and others while we supervise the job making sure everything is correct. Getting more done, I'm sure they would appreciate it more.

You'd not be building a forge. You'd be working it, using it. Helping around it.
Also, the entire point of the exercise is that he wants you to personally spend the couple of days learning that there's other ways to live than rape and pillage while they round up the supplies.

This isn't exactly a logistical hub, so the logistics will take time.
Your men will be busy doing heavy lifting since they don't exactly have any dockworkers.

You ponder a moment and think this is probably the best way to secure the passage to Gulltown without any loose ends.
"I suppose I'm in. What sort of good works do I need to do?"
"To each their own. Even those with few skills can find purpose in service of the Seven."
As he began to talk, he approached each statue of the Seven Graces as he elaborated.
"Unto the Smith, honest toil and mending of broken things."
"Unto the Warrior, hunting, butchering and of course, the protection of the innocent."
"Unto the Stranger, caring for the dead. Making coffins, digging graves and tending to the lichyards."
"Unto the Father, measuring, keeping records, seeking truth so that fair judgements may be rendered."
You think to yourself for a moment.
"Well, I guess I'll pick the last one then."
He looks at you quizzically as if he was expecting you to pick that.
"It is a task where one must know their numbers and letters."
"I'm the one who handles the finances in my ship. I am no stranger to an Abacus."
He ponders for a moment
"I suppose we will see. I'll leave you to assist the proctors with their records and scales."

>15 Great Success

You spend the two days going over their accounts with the proctors, correcting out some of the discrepancies in their tax budgets. Some rents which weren't collected and some tithes which went unpaid. Overall, you didn't really end up making any friends because due to their oath of silence. Still, it was rewarding work.
However, you did get the impression that the Elder Brother was rather impressed that at such a young age you'd were learned enough to handle that sort of work.

Once your ship was ready for it's voyage, you bid farewell to the Elder Brother and his proctors and returned to your vessel.
After jumping aboard Devran approaches you.
"So, tell me. What did they want from you?"
"To show me there's life outside of raping and reaving I guess."
"HAH! So, how'd it go? Did he learn why you're called Teach?"
"Well if nothing else, he ought to think me a fairly sophisticated for a savage after I started helping him with his taxes."
He chuckles at this and looks around a bit
"Our passengers seem to be late."
"Yep, Ser Randar went off to visit the graves, brothers in arms or somesuch."
He shrugs
"What is dead may never die."
"Fuck man, I didn't realize you were starting to turn religious."
"It's fairly fitting in your case though."
"For all you know, I might just be a delusional powder loonie."
"Well for a loonie, you've got a decent run this far. Oh right, the boys want me to tell you that they'd like to have at least a couple of days of shore leave. They've gotten pretty backed up if you catch my drift?"
"We do have to spend a while resupplying when we make it to Gulltown, so even if I insisted, it'd be pretty hard for us to take off in less than a day or two."

I'm sure we can find some work in our off time. And train our boys into half way decent fighters either way.
If we can locate a place so we can produce more gun powder. We could train up our musket guys. Or just improve our gun to reduce gunpowder usage and increase firing speed.

>>2048909
Dunno. I assume you mean inventions?

The first and most obvious one would be a improvement to an industrial process but the problem is we'd need to figure out where there is a high demand for the refined form, a good supply of raw material and a liberal enough state to enable us to establish a facility.


So, to be honest, I'd argue that becoming an actual merchant by getting a proper merchant ship might work better. Not only to find additional contacts to buy and sell from but to develop a greater understanding of regional surpluses and deficits. Not to mention, it'd let us get a bit more cash and start out bigger in regards to whatever we do.

>>2048918
I should point out to you that your innovations have generally speaking no benefits to you if you cannot monetize them.
Spending time to design a prototype seed drill or the like will not bring you any benefits whatsoever unless you can develop a business plan to sell it.
I'm not going to let you just handwave your path into riches.

You should also consider before you begin to invest into any properties within a city that there's also a war coming and you're of the wrong ethnicity, which is excuse enough for your assets to be sequestered if the lord is a greedy cunt.
They can also try and find an excuse to do that anyway if they feel threatened by you.

>>2048981
All the more reason to invest in ships, men and arms honestly. We can profit when the war comes and secure a strong position for industry and science then.

>>2048989
Just FYI if you wanna start a mercenary company, you need at least 100 men or 50 cavalry.

You could probably afford to get horses to everyone, but none of your guys actually has been taught how to ride a horse.
Also, if you wanna train up your men, you will need to hire up a drill instructor.

>>2049045
Yeah that is good to know. A few questions, how many men do we have? As the pastebin only lists our outgoing wages to them but not how it splits between officers and soldiers / sailors.

2) What would the trade vessel we'd be looking into purchasing be like? How much more capacity for trade would it have? Would it be significantly slower?

3) How much does a musket cost to produce? How about a pistol?

I am all for that. Don't think we can do that to make for our men. But we could make a revolver for our self. Making us able to shoot a multiple of our current rate.l while being more accurate.

>How many men do we have
Currently you have 30 men or 3 squads. Because your crew are all expected to fight and sail the ship, they get a pretty good salary compared to most plebs.
Officers are named specialist characters that can help you handle certain tasks. Devran for example, makes sure to handle the repair of the equipment of your crew and help you build guns behind your back so you do not personally have to invest an exorbitant amount of time to that task, but they will collect a far, far greater paycheck than your average schmuck.

>What would the trade vessel we'd be looking into purchasing be like? How much capacity for trade would it have? Would it be significantly slower.
You'd be looking at fairly small trading cogs with only about 70 crew capacity and about 100 tons of cargo space (as opposed to the maximum of 20 tons of your current vessel).
Yes, it'd be a bit slower and less nimble than the Longship, but it'd also handle the open seas better than a Longship. Journeys would take about 20% longer, but you are also somewhat protected from the elements, which means you can do other things during your journey than just steer the boat.

>How much does a musket cost to produce? How about a pistol?
If you rent out a forge, it'd probably be about 300ss for a flintlock pistol, about 350ss for a flintlock musket, provided you don't subsidize the manufacture of certain parts. If you subsidize some of the work, the price of the product jumps up, but I'll get to more detail about that later as well as to the duration what it takes to craft these things.

Looks like you'll be looking for some innovations when you arrive.

>>2050059
At this current time, you have 2910 shots worth of gunpowder.
That is approximately 97 shots per man. That's about enough powder for 30 men to last through a war like without worrying about ammunition.
Single shot worth of gunpowder would normally cost like half a silver to make, provided you don't manage to get the materials almost free because they couldn't sell them. There have been historical instances where shiploads of saltpeter were dumped into the ocean in order to avoid paying for taxes.

If you wanted to sell just raw gunpowder, you could pretty easily charge like 30-50 gold a keg due to it's exotic nature. This means that you'd be making like 0,8 - 2,5 silver stag profit for every shot fired in Westeros, provided you'd be capable of maintaining the elevated prices.
Of course, there's always the problem of limited demand as lords would be incredibly reluctant to make large investments in terms of powder and firearms since much of the arms and armor in their stores has been in use for well over a hundred years.

[1/2]

Large settlement was in sight as you approached from the sea. A Stony lighthouse towered over the distant townscape as you pulled out your Myrish Lenses to inspect the banners.
"Have we made it to our destination?"
Red, Black, Yellow
"Why don't you take a look for yourself?"
You hand over the lenses and Ser Randar adjusts them a bit for his eyes.
"Banners of House Grafton, no mistaking it."
Looks like your worry over supplies not lasting was unwarranted. The trip took a little over 2 weeks, leaving everyone involved satisfied with the outcome. Aside from the occasional drizzle, there were no problems with the weather.

"Right, we've just held on to our end of the bargain. I think it's time we discuss payment."
"Yes. I believe the original contract was for 30 days, correct? It's been 36 however."
"My men and yours will have words if you're trying to get a discount due to delays."
He looks offended by the notion
"No, by the Seven no, I'm quite satisfied with the way you and your crew handled themselves. Tipping after all, is something that is expected of a man of my status."
He fetches the strongbox he brought with him. "Right, so the work for 36 days of shipping would accumulate to 92 and something Dragons, yes let's round that up to 100 Dragons shall we? Should be a fair enough tip."
Kaching, 100D! You could buy a ship with that.
"Additionally"
Oh, there's more?
"I was impressed by your willigness and ability to get us through this journey while maintaining the utmost secrecy and due to that, I have decided reward you with 25 Dragons for your exemplary service as well as 1000 silver to be distributed amongst the crew for both their valor in battle, as well as for maintaining their discretion."
With that, the crew spent few moments wondering how much that is in total.
"That means about 33 silver to man."
You tell them. Jaws drop when they realize they just got a buttload of cash.
"I'd also like to extend your captain an offer of more permanent employment, that is if he is interested."
The crew looks unto you with anticipation.
"I thank you for your generosity, but I feel that the crew deserves a vacation. They've got pockets full of silver and from what I hear from my quartermaster, if they take on another journey like this without a break in between, their balls will explode."
Blame: shifted. Good Captain status: maintained.
Ser Randar looks dissappointed at the answer.
"I regret to see you go. However, should you ever change your mind, seek me out. Man of your talents must not go unused."
You quickly deposit the coin pouches into the strongbox.
"I appreciate the offer."

So how do you want to handle this final approach? Do you just want to be dumped on the side of the road like we did with that shady looking criminal poor and helpless refugee or do we just head straight to the harbors?"
He ponders on that for a moment.
"I think, the best course of action is that we walk to the town."
You veer off into the side and after a some hours of sailing, you make your way to a sufficiently well covered piece of coastline where to drop off your passengers with their kit.
Your men help them assemble their carts and haul their luggage on to them as well as whatever excess supplies they could carry. Within an hour or so, they started to walk off towards their doomed cause. Still, the gold is good.

"Alright the job's done. Let's set sail to Gulltown."
You saw the lighthouse being lit as you and your ship made approach in the evening sun.
At the harbor, you were greeted by a dour looking official who looked at you with a distinct disapproval.
"Harbor and Warehouse fees are 5 gold a month."
"We'll just need the harbor for now."
"Don't care. 5 gold or piss off."
What a cunt.
"5 gold it is then."
He looks at the coins you produce with a sour look as he pulls out his ledger reluctantly.
"Name?"
"Captain Eddard 'Teach' Manden, son of Manderik Manden."

"Highborn."
"That's correct."
His attitude changes into a more sharp and professional one.
"House words?"
"Victory at Sea"
"Lands?"
"My father rules over the island of Anchorall in the Iron Islands."
"Hmm... What brings son of Manderik Manden to Gulltown."
"I'm currently operating as a freesail."
His scowl turns to a smile as he chuckles
"Got kicked out of your home did you? You came to the right place. Lord Grafton welcomes noble scions into his lands with open arms, provided they cause no trouble. Your vessel is exempt from the usual toll charges for now."
"Then, my thanks to Lord Grafton's generosity."
"Right then, let me record the name of your vessel in. What was it again?"
"Long Night"
"That's a rather foreboding name isn't it?"
"True, but it's also rather memorable don't you think?"
He offers you his ledger.
"Your signature here to confirm that you are checking in."
After checking it's not some sort of shady contract, you write down your name on the list. As you do so, he grabs one of the keys from his belt.

Your crew started rolling dice who has to stay on land.
Dice were rolled and Good Boy Points were spent in great numbers in order to make sure they don't have to wait to wet their whistle.
Meanwhile, you checked the warehouse that was reserved for your ship. It was not particularly spacious, but it's a good enough place to keep the cargo you've bought until it's time to load your ship.

"So, the lads have gone off on a spending spree."
"It's the first time they're in a town this size and it's the first time they've had as much money as they have now. Most of them will find the nearest whorehouse and live out their fantasies and drink till they drop."
"How about you Devran, do you have plans for how to spend your paycheck?"
"Me? I think I'll save most of it until I've ideas to what 'I' want to make personally. How about you? How do you plant to spend all that gold? New ship? Expanding our crew? More guns?"
"I've got some projects on the back of my head that I wanted to work on."
Devran turns to you with clear interest
"If you need my help, you've got it. If reincarnation awaits me as well, then I do not want to go to the next life armed with the meager knowledge I have."
"Appreciate it. I'll let you know when I've got the general idea down."

The way Research works is that you must pass multiple knowledge checks. Each time you do, you advance towards completing your research. The Difficulty and Quantity of the knowledge checks depends upon the complexity and the requirement of tools new to develop towards the final design.
Prototypes have a monetary cost and can help lower the difficulty requirements towards the next knowledge check.

Also congratulations on finishing Arc 1 of Male Powder Fantasy.
You are now far away from home and not too far from most places of import. In both sides of the Narrow sea there lay danger and opportunity and it is up to you to choose the direction once you've finished taking your little break from shady dealings.

In the North, through the white harbor, there lies river access to Winterfell. Norther still lies Skagos, the Island of Cannibals and of course the Wall and all it's Wildlings. Not only that, but the Republic of Braavos lies across the Narrow sea not too far away as does Pentos, Myr and Tyrosh.
The Lands of Stannis Baratheon lie south of Cracklaw point in Dragonstone and in the recess of Blackwater Bay lies the Capital of Westeros. King's Landing. Further south, you'll find Storm's End, the ancestral home of House Baratheon and the seat of Renly Baratheon and finally, at the southern end of Westeros lies Dorne, the home of the Martells.

If any of you guys feel like being creative, there's no reason you need ton hold on to your dad's colors.

You can make up your personal coat of arms and indeed, when you swap your ship out it would only make sense that you do so since as soon as you get yourself a new vessel, that vessel will not actually have any connection to the house you were kicked out of.

When you get a new ship, marking it with your own colors means that it belongs to you, not your house, but you personally.

A thought occurs to me, why don't we try to design some basic grenades? That way we have a counter for sheer numbers and can do boarding actions more easily?

>>2052625
Swivel guns would be great as well. But id rather take the more passive developments as it is right now. We have enough overwhelming firepower as it is.

>>2052650
Eh, I'd argue we should focus on military / raiding developments. Once we've got a few more ships (stolen, built or purchased) under our control along with men to crew them we can look into other things.

Fact is we can always pick up more lads from along the coastline, from fishing villages and such, to crew our ship along with any others we might acquire by silver or steel, which will free our current crew for boarding duties until we create more guns and equip those newer crew members.

>>2052650
You don't have overwhelming firepower by any means.
I couldn't exactly have the first encounter be against a full fledged military unit after all.

You just cleared out some river bandits before they got to melee.
Instead of 4 squads of shitters that get disorganized from 1 hit, a full on military unit would have 10 squads and it will about 3 hits to make them turn tail and run.

If you went against 10 to 3 odds, you'd get shat on, ranged weapons or no. Your guys also lack armor, so squads of archers can still turn you and your boys to ribbons.

Also, Grenades are great against fortifications, not so great against anything else due to the severely limited range and danger to the wielders from the unpredictable shrapnel and less thsn accurate fuses.

>>2052709
True but you have in past stated that most ships have their decks higher than our current boat. My idea would be to have our lads throw a few grenades up, onto those decks, before climbing up themselves: thus clearing any defenders and disorientating survivors long enough for them to open fire. That way they are protected from any shrapnel by the wood of the deck.


Also, in regards to fuses, if we coat the outside of the fuse with wax they'll not only burn far more consistently but be more resistant to getting wet.

However I concede that range will be minimal thanks to the small amount of explosive we will probably be placing in each to conserve gunpowder but a good point to make in that regard is we can focus on making this gunpowder of as good a grain as possible in order to maximise the reaction rate and thus the strength of the blast.

>>2052750
Not saying you can't do it, just saying there is a reason why it fell out pf use in the first place.
If you plan on actually boarding, bombing the enemy isn't the worst plan.

Still, you need to get more than 30 men if you plan on stealing anything bigger than a skiff. Even at full crew you still are pretty weak by yourself. Usually pirates operate in fleets.

>>2052815
True but I've already stated an intent to get more lads. This is just a way to make up for our lack of experience and minimise losses.

>Clock: Designing a bit more accurate time measuring piece than a sandglass ought to have a variety of uses. Maybe I'll be able to create a chronometer or something in the future.

I just dug up some rules regarding Grenades.
Apparently ceramic hand bombs do 4 damage to guy it hit's and 1 damage those in vicinity.
Bombs DO NOT have armor piercing attribute, so anyone with 4 or more armor will more or less just be annoyed by it.

Clearly if you wanted to make an useable weapon out of this, you'd need to improve the design.

Basically, it's got a relatively low blast radius, but the rules are really shaky on how large the blast radius is.
There's just Blast Radius 1, which does 4 dmg and Blast Radius 2, which does 1 damage.

>>2052925
>>2052929
A few questions:

1) What would 4 armour be equivalent to?

2) I presume that 4 damage is significant seeing how our pistols do the exact same amount?

3) What range would you give the blast radii as an interpretation of these rules?

File: armors.png (41 KB, 513x590)

41 KB PNG

Basically these -1, because the spark to powder module reduces the effectiveness of armor against weaponry from that module.
Also, it should be pointed out that the armors could stand some improvements overall. I've decided to let them be as is, since that's another region of technology which can be developed. It's not as if armor has gone obsolete with the existence of 30 something guns.

I must admit that I am not expert with these rules though, so this quest more or less serves as a test bed to me.

>>2053067

It's fine enough

>>2053067
Okay these rules are certainly interesting.

I mean, I feel like a grenade might break bone (armour) if it hit it so that being able to block it feels a little weird but I can see wood doing so in reasonable thicknesses. Same goes for chain-mail and such other flexible armours but I'd expect the blast and smoke to generally disable them (knock them off their feet, concussion, whiplash, broken bones, etc) which is enough for my hopes of using it to get the jump on merchant ships and such.

Still this does establish that grenades wouldn't be useful, at least until improved, against any sorts of proper armour.

>>2053118
Main problem in the armor system is penalties to combat defense.
I don't mind you developing armor which slashes those Armor penalties.

These would be considered like masterworks in planetos though.

Alright; I'll change my vote from >>2053579
vehicular design to alcohol distilling.

Clocks are great and all, but their primary uses are navigation on the open ocean (currently we're just gadding about the Westerosi coast with occasional island hopping) and co-ordinating large-scale activity (right now we're just one boat of people; if we start building a railway, industrialising Westeros properly, or needing to co-ordinate large-scale military action, then we can look into clocks & chronometers).

>>2054955
>>2052859

I meant my vote to be towards whatever navigation device sexton, astroglobe etc. Gets the most support and gas power is interesting but seems like it'd need more infrastructure and/or larger boat to utilize fully

>>2054959
Astrolabes would probably be something that the Maesters have access to.
You could probably, in exchange for monetary compensation, seek out a Maester which practices Astronomy to acquire an Astrolabe as well as instruction on what sort of stars are the best to use for it.
You could even try to find a hedge Maester to work on your ship as a navigator and have him study the stars. They would of course, count as an officer.

Most Captains at this time just stick to well known routes.
Also, I did make a mistake when actually calculating your supply capacity on the longship. If you didn't actually carry any cargo, you could load up 4 months worth of supplies, provided you were at the 50 crew capacity.

Still, you were sailing through Riverlands, you were carrying around the collapsible carts of your clients and you didn't know how shallow it was going to be, so we can just say you played it safe.

>Good jobbu

You've got plans down for a moonshine stiller which ought to be buildable from the materials available in in the town. The furnace, the rolled copper tubing, the insulating paste, the containers... all should be buildable.

The concept of a still is not that complex after all. Distillation is the act of seperating two substances from one by the act of turning one into steam while the other remains a liquid. This can be achieved by heating your chosen substance in a container and redirecting the steam through cooling tubes, which in turn return the steam back to liquid and thus, you have seperated one substance into two seperate ones, both different from the original.

With these plans one could create a still fit for a redneck moonshiner or a caribbean rum bootlegger. Maybe one of your friends was peddling moonshine before you kicked the bucket? Anyhow, even though the design is functional, you still are lacking in couple of features.

1. Pressure gauge (DC 18)
2. Method of measuring the temperature (DC 18)
3. Method of more precise heat adjustment and control (DC18)
4. Method of testing the alcohol levels (DC 24)
5. Method of testing whether it's safe to drink at all (DC 24)

With these features, you could probably create a still that would no longer require craftsmen experienced in distillation to produce a quality product with relative efficiency, just ones willing and capable of following orders.

You have spent approximately one day in the design phase.
> Start the construction of a prototype still. (Takes a couple of days to finish building)
> Continue design process and keep rolling to see if you can't come up with designs for some of these extra features. ( Consumes time.)
> I don't really want to build a still right now, but I'll hold on to these designs.

Oh and just to elaborate.
You can only research one feature at a time. and each prototype makes consequent rolls easier, even if it's a failed one.
>The production costs will be like 22 silver for a small portable prototype still.

I suppose it will take just over a week to get something we are gonna be happy with.

At the moment it would take almost a month to roll methods 4 and 5 because need nat 6 on all four dice.

So I will go with the Measure for Temperature to get the research moving.

Actually based upon the new info from OP in discord I vote for building a prototype

>>2057996
>> Continue design process and keep rolling to see if you can't come up with designs for some of these extra features. ( Consumes time.)

Right, so here's a couple of things that probably should be mentioned.

Every time you create a failed prototype, even though it consumes time and money, you'll get an extra dice towards the next attempt of figuring out that tech.
If you create functional prototypes, you can try and upgrade them with features or, you know, when that no longer becomes a possibility, you can try and sell them for money.

Big thing about doing things on paper is that it costs no money and requires practically speaking no resources since I can't be assed to keep keep track of you ink and paper expenses.
Primary advantage of doing things on paper would be that you can make plans while at the sea, provided you've got your own private quarters, which you lack at the moment.
Doing research on paper just gives you +1 towards the tech if you fudge it up and depending on the complexity of the tech.

It is always going to be faster to make breakthroughs with prototypes than to do things on paper.
Basically, 1 week constructing a failed prototype beats 1 week's worth of theory.

>>2058164
yeah that's the info. I recommend everyone else joins me in doing the prototype.

Plus we get cheap vodka.

>>2058164
Also, it should me mentioned that materials and facilities for the construction of certain types of objects are not necessarily available, so even if you make the plans, you are not necessarily capable of building it.

For example, if you were to try and make a thermometer, you'd require glass parts as well as mercury for the construction, not just a functional design.
No, you will not learn glassblowing just from trying to research a thermometer, that's not how it works.

Glassblowing, being an actual trade skill, you would either have to find a master to teach you, make a custom order or simply try and figure it out by devising your own glass blowing furnace. After that you'd actually have to research the method of creating glass tubing.

How much money can we make with this still?
And how do we keep our men from being drunk all the time?

I will always houserule how long it takes to build a prototype or do paper research.
Don't expect them to take the same amount of time.

The reason why this is taking but mere days is because these are not by themselves, rather complex devices.

>>2058132
Hue. You're betting on getting 4 x 6 rolls? I like your confidence.

>>2058176
With this still? Provided you make the knowledge rolls for it's operation ( DC:9 ) you'll be able to make 2,5 gallon keg of distilled booze on it at a time and it'll take about a day to make. ( Not an expert on boozemaking, so excuse me if my numbers sound wrong. )

As to how much you can sell it for? Well, I'd say you could probably make like 5-10 silver profit per gallon depending how eager the guys are to buy it, but at this moment you don't have a buyer and you don't have an established brand name, but I guess you could find a buyer for a single keg of firewater. Whatever Maesters that exist in this town would certainly buy it as a cheaper alternative to Myrish firewines.

However, if we're talking about established brand trust as well as a buyer willing to take this much, you could probably expect like 200 gold profits (before substracting the shipping costs and taxes) for about 10 000 liters of the stuff. It could go higher still, depending on circumstances and popularity.
The popularity could honestly go either way depending on the political situation.

>>2058176
Oh, and you do have lockboxes if you do so desperately need to keep the men off your stuff.

>>2057996

What about related technologies?

For example; if we put lots of research into this still, would it give us any kind of bonus if / when we want to build a steam-engine, since it, too, is mostly about channelling steam through copper pipes?

>>2058393
>try making a prototype.

We've plenty of cash on hand and a reasonable supply of materials; I say we make hay while the sun shines.

>>2058487
From a still? Still won't really help you that much in terms of creating a steam engine.
However, you do need functional pressure and temperature gauges for it. You don't need to re-research those in order to slap them on to a steam engine.

The mechanism of steam engine is a lesser problem when compared to the advances in the means of production required to make them possible.
Still, I'd recommend not trying to waste money on a steam engine until you've become rich and famous.

>>2058466
Also the only books which could help you in this regard are so esoteric that only the Alchemist's guild would have them and even such volumes would be written in code, much like your notes are.

To be perfectly honest, you shouldn't expect to gain much just from scribbling on your notebook without actually having anything to work with.

Also, even though you've sort of already paid for dock rent for this month, you've spent approximately 140 stags on being cooped up for 4 days due to the costs per day on renting this place.
The cost of the small portable prototype still was 22 silver and it's not like you needed to even build a whole new still just to attach a temperature measuring tool on it.

So, you still wanna keep going?

21 days left until your time is due in the docks.

Putting aside your personal project for a while, you decide to go and look for some employment for you and your vessel. However, you quickly found out that the prospects of getting hired in this town don't seem that great.
You spent couple of days going about the different mercantile guilds, asking if they need help shipping. The Guild masters would not so much as speak to you and upon hearing that you captain a longship, their clerks told you that you don't really meet the standards of their establishment.

Clearly, whatever it is that you're doing is not working. Acting low profile thus far has meant that you're beneath the notice of the important people, but it has come with a terrible cost. Being beneath the notice of the important people, which means that you're lucky to even get a quarter of what you got paid before.
You can't stay here forever either. You've accomplished little during your time in here and you've got a bit over 20 days to get a job and set sail. If you have to wait for a fleet to hire you to show up as well as wait to load the goods, you might have to pay another 5 Gold too or simply leave town without a job.

Clearly something must be done.

Seconding

Sounds good

>>2061149
Sounds like a plan
But maybe we should get 2-4 tower shields so crew can shoot from BEHIND them, mount them on the sides of boat?

Tower shields would basically be somewhere along these lines or sort of like the Roman shields depending on the flavor text. Either way they function more or less the same.
Also, have you given any thought on what sort of heraldry you want to put on the gear you're buying?

Sure, you can use the arms of your dad if you like, but you that means that they technically speaking belong to your house and thus your dad rather than you since they have the family arms on them rather than your own personal arms.

>>2061149
I can agree to this and also >>2061272
but bring it up to a even half dozen?
And Id be in favor of another squad of loners and the guns to go with them Especially if we get a fighting instructor

I like the sound of this, except I'd suggest a shipwright/surgeon instead of a fighting instructor; someone who knows his way around a gangrenous limb might come in handy & a fighting instructor isn't going to know how to integrate guns into his techniques.

Pic unrelated.

Keep in mind that the crew can't exactly wield both shields and muskets at the same time, but they will help when it comes to sword combat I guess.

"Right, I think I right about got what you want me to do, but what are you going to do?"
"I think I need to get new clothes and look more representable."
Devran scoffs
"Peacocking your newfound wealth are you?"
You wave your hands in a dismissive gesture
"Turns out that eastern lands do not seem to find the ascetic style as charming as the Islanders do."
"Aye, I hear you. If our Captain looks like a beggar, they'll think no better of the rest of us."
"That goes for the crew as well. If they don't look like they can fight, then people will think us weak."
"Right, so what sort of style were you thinking of going for?"

>10 gold for a fashionable outfit
>5 gold for a nobleman's silk doublet
>4 gold for a set of Merchant's fancy clothing
>Perhaps I should have something made that'd distinguish me from the crowd... ( Fuck this medieval fashion, I'm having someone make me an outfit of my design. )

What if we get tower shields & cut a notch in the top of them as in the picture here >>2061272
?
