Right now however, you're at a victory feast held at Hightower by house Hightower.

The Oceanic breeze was nice and cool and everyone was wearing their best.
Thanks to the pleasant weather, the feast was being held outside. There was plenty of merriment in the air as the highborn and gentry were feasting, dancing, singing, playing games and sharing banter amongst eachother.

With a girl you didn't recognize on his lap, King Robert was having a jolly old time, laughing at the japes and banter shared with his drinking buddies and downing so much alcohol, you wondered whether or not his liver had evolved beyond that of a mere mortal.

Still, you weren't going to be the guy who'd tell him to stop drinking. Considering he married an incestuous harlot that's cuckolding him with his brother and seeing that his first love ended up being stolen by some emo princeling and died giving birth to a potential rapechild, well you'd say the man has earned the right to be drunk for a decade or two.

"It's good to be the King it seems."
Your mother said as you looked at the antics of King Robert
"Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. So, what's up?"
"Well, your marriage is in my mind."
"I should probably point out that as a Lord of my own, I've no longer the obligation to go along with such arrangements without my consent."
"Heavens, that's not exactly what I was going for. I merely wanted to point out that we can help you find a decent match down south if you'd like, but I'd also like to point out that I am not sure how much help such marriages would be to you. The North is a fair bit away."
"So, if I want an alliance I'm on my own?"
"More or less. Or you could simply seek protection of the High Lords of the region. I hear Manderlys of White Harbor are fairly big players at the region. If you had their backing, you'd be unlikely face any troubles alone."
You nod
"I'll think on it."

After the King audibly declares that he is going to go and make room for some more wine, you're signaled by Lord Eddard Stark to come over.

"I guess I should..."
"Yes, you should."

You make your way to the table filled with laughing, drinking with the occasional singing and go attend your liege lord. "My Liege."
"Lord Arthur Tallon, meet Wyman Manderly, Lord of White Harbor, Warden of the White Knife. He is one of my most Loyal Bannermen and greatest supporters of the North. I'm sure the two of you will end up seeing a lot more of each other in the future."
"Pleased to meet you Lord."
The Pot bellied Lord raises his cup in recognition.
"No need for courtesies with me boy. Come! Sit next to me and have an ale, we'll be but neighbours soon enough. We should get to know eachother better."
"I think I'd like that very much."
You do sit on the empty seat next to Lord Manderly and he takes a big flagon and fills it to the brim and sticks it in front of you.
"Chug it down. You need some hair in your chest if you wanna make it in the North."

"So Arthur, how does it feel like to be a Lord now?"
"Pretty good, not gonna lie. So, Lord Wyman. You're from the Bite, you ever visited the lands I'm to receive?"
His tone goes more serious
"Once. When I crushed the Fullaxes during the Rebellion for trying to incite lords into turning against the Starks."
You casually take as sip from your drink
"So, how was it then."
He closes one eye and wiggles his hand a bit
"Unremarkable. People there dig their wealth from the dirt of from stone. During summers their trade slows down so they deal in herbs, but come winter they handle themselves better thanks to the peat and coal they produce."
"So they primarily trade in fuel?"
"That's the gist of it. They mine their own Iron as well, but better quality stuff comes from barrows and from upriver. Still, they managed to build a stone castle, so they weren't completely broke."
Your face turns into a grin as you imagine the idea of turning that fuel into food for steam monstrosities.
"Don't get too excited lad. There's still some work for you to do before you can get properly settled in there."
"What do you mean?"
"You see, the real reason why the castle went vacant was that well...
Lord Varn Fullaxe had been found guilty of black market trade with the Mountain Clans in the Vale, selling weapons and longships in exchange for their plunder. Turns out that the Valemen recognized some of the gear his men were wearing and you can guess they were none too happy about it. He demanded a trial by combat, but it went less than well for him and at Lannisport, we received a notice that his men had looted the castle of valuables and fled into the night."
You put down your cup.
"So, basically everyone that used to run the place either fled or are dead? I need to recreate the whole court?"
"Consider it your first task as a Lord."
Well, at least you've a Maester already so he can help you with that task.
"You know, normally we'd just cut off the heads of those guilty and let the daughter inherit, but the Lord Hand Jon Arryn was an ally and a friend to the Starks and the Lords of the Vale cried out for justice, which is where you came in.
With such damning evidence, the titles had to be revoked and you're a man of Andal blood from a good family of knights. The Friendship between Vale and North is now restored for the time being."
"So, the public order in the region likely in shambles?"
"Likely, but Lady Airis Fullaxe is my ward. Were you to marry her, that'd likely give you more authority in the eyes of the smallfolk and it'd tie any loose ends to your claim no doubt, but naturally it'd be me doing a favor for you, which means you'd owe me one in return. So, what do you say?"

Basically, lets first take stock of the situation and see if we have any other good options. Ask mother dearest and assess the political state of the region. Besides, waiting a month or two will not change anything in the long run and we need to be sure the wife we get is not an imbecile or otherwise useless.

>>2536407

>>2536412
She doesn't know anyone in the North. You're on your own on that regard.

>>2536415
I meant whether she has any geniuses lined up in the south.

>>2536407
>"I think I'd rather weigh my options first Lord Wyman. I will however remember your suggestion." (Maybe later)

>>2536416
Probably not.
Good match to her is someone whose parents either offer a sizable dowry, a good alliance or simply are highly influential and prestigious.

Personality is entirely secondary.

>>2536412
We can bachelor it for a while. Get some goldflow going with our estate, and then perhaps consider a better rank of prospective wife.

>>2536482
Sure

>>2536407
>>"I think I'd rather weigh my options first Lord Wyman. I will however remember your suggestion." (Maybe later)

>>2536407

This isn't a confirmed marriage, this is just seeing if she's wife material.

>>2536407
>"Tempting, but I'd meet this woman first before agreeing." (Book a marriage meeting)
We can always decline.

>>2536407
>>"I think I'd rather weigh my options first Lord Wyman. I will however remember your suggestion." (Maybe later)
Best to keep our options open for now.

The way you write the dialogue for these characters comes across as very informal and does not sound like what characters in this universe would say. Is that on purpose? For the sake of brevity? I'm not saying it's bad or good. Just an observation.

>>2536592
I agree
We might as well set up some goodies. Make money rain in our land. Make the commoners love us by increasing the quality of life. And secure our lands and borders so it's safe as fuck. We should have the money for it that's for sure. And apprently we produce a lot of our own materials.

>>2536617
Youd think we have money to spare but in actuality, with most improvements costing around 10 Wealth and us having 55, the money will run out rather quickly. We just have to choose the first buildings wisely and make sure we maximise profit.

>>2536688
Indeed Hitlerdubs.
Market, Docks, and other goldrakers are mandatory. So are a few food productions and a shop for ourselves where we can tinker during the turn wait for some techtree jumps.

> Still weighing my options

[1/2]

"I think it's still too sudden to give a definite answer to that Question. After all, I've yet to fully explore my options. I will however keep that possibility in mind once I survey my lands."

"Fair enough, but keep in mind that a claim like hers could come back to bite you or your descendants in the future."

"Perhaps, but a stable claim did not stave off the misfortune which that house suffered. Nor did a stable claim keep my house from being uprooted."

He shows some interest
"I'm unfamiliar with your house's history. Did your family had it's Lands taken from them at some point as well?"
"There was some pressure towards that end until fairly recently. You see, my family's ancestral home was a small plot of land and a keep near Hightower.
At some point in history, our house was given as vassals to the Tarlys and apparently Mace Tyrell had shown some interest in making sure that those Lands return to Tyrell hands."

You take a swig of ale and continue
"In the end they managed to get their lands back, but thanks to our family's loyalty and the contributions at the battle of Ashford, Lord Randyll had our backs.
My Father was offered the seat of Copperhall in exchange for Knight's refuge and then Tarlys made the Tyrells pay a hefty price for the plot of land we had developed and cultivated across the years."
He smiles at that story
"So you escaped the fate of being dispossessed by earning glories in war and staying true to your liege. Our house was not so fortunate. We had our titles to the Mouth of the Mander revoked through trickery and deceit, but thankfully the wolves took us in. You will find the North a fair bit more wild and honest than the south, I'm sure."
You smile at him
"Well, I sure hope so. I'm not much for mind games, word plays or petty politicking truth be told, but thankfully I have other talents."
"Like shipbuilding?"
"Amongst other things, though I have only designed one ship so far, but personally I think it turned out pretty well."
"Interested in selling it?"
"I would if I hadn't already sold it to the Prince."
"Ah, figures. Listen, we should talk again come the Victory feast in the North."
"Sure, who is hosting the event?"
"Cannot say right now, but it's likely either me, Starks, Flints, Boltons or Karstarks. We'll discuss those matters as we make way back to the North. For now, we drink and celebrate! To Victory!"
"To Victory"

You kept drinking and playing around with the nobility until nightfall. It was good honest carousing. Everyone smelled like drink and was being loud andobnoxious, including you. Overall you had a pretty good time.
No wonder Robert liked war if this is what followed.

Come morning, most of your crew as in a severe case of hangover from the festivities in the town. There would be in no condition to work today. Stench of yesterday's half digested meals filled your nostrils as you watched some womenfolk try and mop the yesterday's vomit stains off the pavement.

You thought to yourself: 'Good thing that ain't my job' as you trodded off looking to get something greasy to eat from one of the nearby vendors.
They really should have fish and chips stands, but luckily sausage buns, aka Hot Dogs were a thing.
Perfect after party breakfast.

As you munched on the unhealthy snack, you considered on your future courses of action. You need some plebs to run your shit for you.

You already got a couple of Black Powder "Experts" and a Maester. There were still some other roles to fill.

Master-of-hounds would be good for tracking down criminals and keeping security in the castle.
Master-of-horse is pretty much a necessity for keeping Cavalry around.
Master-at-arms is for teaching people at more traditional forms of combat.
Master-of-hunt helps keep meat on table and handles pest-control, such as feral bears or wolves
Steward minds the accounting and such
Castellan handles the defense of the castle when you're gone

You've lot of jobs to fill and not a whole lot of people to do it.
Perhaps it's better to just go with Crusader Kings 2 route and focus on the essentials.

Chancellor, Spymaster, Marshal, Steward and a Court Chaplain is basically the bare minimum. The Honorary titles are nice and all, but you could maybe toss those around a bit later.

Question is how do you plan to fill those vacancies?

>Perhaps I could make an announcement at the feast. There's bound to be some extra sons looking for work.

>>2540795
We're already pretty much outsiders, might be good to draw from northerners for particular roles.

Spymaster and Chancellor, for instance, should defintiely already be familiar with the north, our lands, and immediate neighbors.

We could probably see if Ser Hector wants a Master at Arms/Marshal job. Or, hell, maybe ask if our Brother might come and take Samwell (with Lord Tarly's blessing) to the North with us. We could joke that it's slightly less extreme than sending him to the wall, and plant that seed in his head.

>>2540795

Get Hector as a castellan/master at arms since we will be spending most of our time at the castle he can focus on training the men and city guard. Send letters to the more prominent northern holds close to us to attract local experts at hunting and hounds, a letter to mother to try and pin down a steward (maybe think of a trader? who?). Ask at the feast for anyone interested in a job that does not require local knowledge (like hunting).

The most important one is a Steward who is reasonably loyal, doesnt tell everybody about our secrets and dealings and can reasonably manage our lands. We can have our Maester handle the more discrete transactions (gunpowder, for example) but for everyday wheat and such we need a man we can rely on.

>>2540795
> We're passing by King's Landing aren't we? Could offer Ser Hector a job. (what sort of role?)
> Perhaps I could make an announcement at the feast. There's bound to be some extra sons looking for work.

>>2540815
Our brother will never come to live with us, he is the heir and I doubt Fatwell will be allowed to join us either, since only heir and all (for now). As to utilizing locals for local knowledge, definitely. Though Im not sure who we could use as a Spymaster. Since stranger, little trust, very delicate matters and so on. Maybe this should be a person we take with us from the south or have our Maester deal with.

>>2540824
I almost wonder if we might have someone from our merchant trader guild days we might be able to call on for that.

>>2540831
Oh yeah, they'd definitely say no. But I would take sick pleasure in us being tangentally responsible for having him sent to the wall later.

>>2540795
Ser Hector would make a decent master of horse/master at arms

>>2540832
While basically ok, I fear theyd take too big of a cut. So unless they invest themselves and we think of a way to keep them out of our business (since theyd very much like to know the gunpowder recipe) I say leave them be. Better hire a local down-on-his-luck trader who is being bullied out or somesuch.

>>2540834
I dont want Lardy shooting himself on our tab. Would be pretty shitty for the family back home.

>>2540853
>>2540834
Honestly I feel pretty bad for the dude. I completely agree that getting rid of him and having his brother be heir was the right call. Sam is smart but he'd be weak as a leader and his house is meant to move armies, born in the wrong house unfortunately. Still, he'd have made a good maester and he's a decent guy all around. I'd push to actually help the kid instead of sending him to the wall, if not for his potential claim to his old house if he didn't take the black. We could try building him up, but we've got no time for that, especially when we're moving up north. Even ignoring the morality of it, it still feels like a waste of talent but you can't help everyone. On that note, I find it kind of funny how the Lord Tarley has a lot of respect for us considering we had sort of the same issues, if way less severe, with our own dad. A smart kid that got forced on the knight route and still ends up a quasi-maester anyway despite our father's disapproval. Then again it worked out way better for us, especially since Arthur makes a pretty decent knight all things considered.

>>2540851
Yes, wasn't he famed for his horsemanship in particular?

If he wants the job of Master of Horses we should snap him up.

>>2540884
I think it's more the matter of roles in medieval esque society.

As a second son, we've not the same expectations. Even still, we are technically doing everything asked of us, being a knight, fighting battles for our lords, etc. We're just doing other things too.

Sam is just mush. He has no motivation or love in his life worth fighting for, and he won't have it until he goes north and finds something worth improving himself for.

>>2540884
...although.

The idea of turning the great neckbeard of Westeros into /k/ incarnate powder knight might just be possible. I mean, if he hates blood, what better than killing your enemy from a distance? The mechanical and chemical aspect might appeal to his nature, more so than swords and boards.

>>2540942
Nah senpai, he will piss himself when the weapon fires and have a panic attack at the kickback and smoke.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bkt1vAX0MRM

Have we considered the possibility of seeking out learned Westerosi slaves and liberating them to serve under us?

It may be expensive, but we should have great loyalty from them.

>>2540795
>> We're passing by King's Landing aren't we? Could offer Ser Hector a job. (Master-Of-Horse?)
> Write-in what?
Offer to have our brother come north to serve as Court Chaplain.
> Perhaps I could make an announcement at the feast. There's bound to be some extra sons looking for work.

>>2541133
A dumb question for me to bring up but what's stopping them from betraying us outside of the mere fact of gratitude?

>>2541203
At best it would be hard for them to find a new job. But if we get them wives and kids then they have something to lose in the event they think about turning on us.

>>2541239
A fair enough assessment I suppose. Though we should always be prepared for a assassination attempt on our lives at some point.

yeah hectors a great grab for master at arms if he wishes.
Master of the hunt we can grab in the north its a job with a bounty of applicants up there.
i dont think master of horse is a priority right now as keeping horses in the north is going to be difficult in our current lands in the state they are in.
An additional priority would be chancellor judging by our current lack of knowledge about the north.
Court chaplain just seems like a religious fuckfest in the north and probably something we dont need until we get a good feel for our lands.

>>2540795
We should really try to sell Randyll Tarly on the idea of making Sam a Maester. Still lets his second son inherit, much closer to fitting his personality and allows him to see his family. It’s also likely we have raised the value of maesters in his mind at least a little bit.
I also have a crazy idea for master of hounds/arms. Sandor Clegane, one of a very small number of people who hate the Mountain more than we do. Promise him support in his feud.

>Offer Hector a Jerb
>11 Not this time boi

After the fleet reached the Capital, more celebrations ensued, this time on a much grander scale. Most likely by the order of King Robert. No doubt he'd refuse to be outdone by Reachmen in victory celebrations.

As your ship made dock, the men readied their minds, bodies and souls for another hangover as they drank and ate like there was no tomorrow, enjoying the adulation for being war heroes.
You decided to make way to Ser Hector's place and offer him a job as your Master-of-horse.

"I'm honored that you're asking, truly. But, I've got a good life here. Even if I don't get invited to parties of the high society anymore, I've friends here! I've a good house with a great view in the Largest City in Westeros, the food is good, the drink is good and the women! Oh, the women!"
"I see you've been properly urbanized."
"Look, it's not that I don't miss it all, it's just, you know. It's the North! The Food in there is bad, the drink is bitter, winters are harsh and the horses are slow. Besides the prestige of being the master-of-horse aside, it's a bit shameful for me to be outranked by my squire you know?"
"So, it's a no then?"
"Sorry, I like you and everything, I'm proud that you were squired by me and all, but I can't just abandon everything I've got going here."

You sigh
"Fine, I'll look for someone else."
"I'm sure there's plenty of people who'd jump at chance, just, you know..."
"It's fine. Enjoy your life down in the capital then I guess."

Yea, apparently that's not going to work.
Well, I guess there's still the feast and if that won't work, I could order Tobias to send some courier when I'm out feasting.
For now however, there's nothing much to do but to make an appeal and ask whomever's going to host the damn thing to allow you to make an announcement of your own.

Shouldn't be too much problems, but if Reach is anything to go by, people tend to want something small in return for these sort of petty favors. Often it's something like taking someone to be trained as squire or a page or at times something as bold as requesting a honorary position to one of their sons or something along those lines.

Results from such a thing would be all but guaranteed, but at the same time there's a question of what are you exactly willing to part with in order to make such a thing happen?


>Gift of a Compass should be enough for such a small favor.
>Perhaps a firearm? It would certainly be exotic enough to get this done.
>Alternatively you could put time into crafting something more common item into a masterpiece with your forge... Question is what?
>Actually, I changed my mind. I'll just rely on the couriers.
>Something else: Write-in

>>Perhaps a firearm? It would certainly be exotic enough to get this done.

Not much likely.
Ultimately he was young enough to be kept pretty far from the battles and you didn't personally partake in the siege of Pyke so he didn't have much chance to hear to sound of guns.

There's some rumors about you killing with sorcerous thunder as there's rumors with Thoros with his blade of fire.
Difference is that lot of people know that Thoros' trick is coating his blade with Wildfire and whilst several people think yours is likely an alchemical trick as well, nobody really knows how you do yours save that it involves fire, black powder and a strange tube-like contraptions.

Though to your credit when you opened fire on Lordsport with cannons, all the horses and many other animals too started to freak out, which did give an aura of unnatural mystique to your ship in the eyes of the smallfolk at the Iron Islands at least.

Whilst the highborn aren't easily freaked by such displays, there's still a certain sense of "What if it was sorcery?" about the whole thing. They did also notice that fighting against such weapons did leave wounds that couldn't be healed if you got hit, which did sorta help add to the whole dread of the tools among the more simple minded.

>>2544424
We need to hire some bards to tell our prowess ( like the flying duchman) was for us , a invincible ship that sailor dropped to ther knees when the heard our guns ( basically spooky stories with a song for the smallfolk)

Guys, Ill one-up you here:

Since we are living in The Bite and in the back end of the bay, because we will be consuming resources of the land like crazy as soon as we set up and because it is also a port in WH.

>>2546697
Shes also used goods and already married you idiot. not to mention shes half a world away

>Alternatively you could put time into crafting something more common item into a masterpiece with your forge... Question is what?

We could go with a sword. I personally would prefer a armour set, but fuck it let's try our hand at some honest to god smithing and show our chops.

If the smith rolls are shit and we do not like the result we can give a firearm and have a backup.

>>2546779
This

>>2546643
I'd vote for that. Battlefleet gothic was great and this is actually quite clever. I this gets more traction then nuln I'll vote for port maw.

>>2546697
If we ever get armstrong guns or any precision artillery dragons will get shit on. Just aim for the head, and punch a hole through it.

I guess you're making a sword then.
Give me a 1d100 and a description of what sort of sword you wanna try and make.

Rolled 21 (1d100)

>>2547067
Wolf-themed handle, carbon pattern blade (I assume we can do damascus?) and a decent scabbard. Basically a good fighting sword with some flourish.

You're on a schedule here.
As Decreed by the High Septon, there's gonna be a week of partying here, one that Robert will most likely insist that Ned will partake in, so you have until then to get the blade in order.

You decided to go with something a bit more exotic, an Odachi greatsword. If nothing else, you hope the novelty value is enough to convince him to go along with it.

There wasn't much time for engravings, so decorations had to be minimalistic, luckily though, since there was partying all around, you had no problems renting a forge for your own use for the time.

> Lost 3 Gold Dragons on expenses

However, there were certain problems. You had to pay a bit of extra for materials as it was technically their rest day, as well as for the use of apprentices for filing and such.

> Rolled 69

Despite financial difficulties, the work did end up going smoothly and you did meet the deadline. The End result was an a two-handed blade with a very long handle and very clean finish.

The Lacquer had to be bought as a volantenese import, but overall it was well worth it for the scabbard. Engraved Copper would have to suffice for ornamentation this time as you didn't have the time to engrave the blade itself.

You're not too sure how well the differential tempering went, but time will tell. Overall it's still a beautifully made sword. You at least hope that the wolf lord will appreciate it for it's looks if nothing else. It was a cumbersome thing and fairly top heavy, but it cut very well, of course, that's the sole purpose of this sword and what it's optimized to do.

Folded six millions times into origami swans under a cherry blossom tree, one million folds for each jewish soul taken in the shoah. Truly a formidable weapon to serve in the Ether Astral War to cleanse the spiritual plane of the taint of the Judaya.
Samurai are the complete opposite of the Jew.
This is surely why Jews fear the Samurai you thought to yourself as you slid the blade into a scabbard after cleaning and oiling it.

"Psssht! Nothing personnel kids." You said to the menials you had hired to forge the blade as you made your way back to your ship.

"Y-you too..." they stuttered as you swaggered out of the shop with your oversized katana whilst the wind gently vibrating your stiff, greasy like the alpha male that you were
. You'd have tipped your fedora for them, but they weren't worthy of such an honor from a supreme gentleman like yourself.
Also you didn't have a fedora.

Had it not been for the laws of this land you'd have slaughtered them for such a meek response.

You had wasted no time presenting your craftsmanship to your liege.

"Interesting cratftsmanship. Is it Made in Essos?"
"No, Lord Stark I made it myself. I was hoping to request your assistance on the matter of rebuilding the court.
If you'd speak out during the feast and let people know I've vacancies, it would help me a great deal."

He sheathes the blade

"What you ask is fair enough. I thank you for your generous gift.
I shall present you to the Lords at the feast and I'll mention of your circumstances. I expect the rest shall take care of itself."
"Thank you, that is all I truly needed Lord Stark."
"Now, if that was all..."
"Of course, you're a busy man."

And so, you headed North with the Arryn fleet, stopping only at Gulltown for supplies as the two fleets parted ways and then finally heading to the the White Harbor.

You could see why they'd call it that. Nearly every single building was white washed with what you guess is lime-chalk and the roofs were dark grey slate in a steep angle to no doubt keep the snows from collapsing them during the winter.

The Scent of the city was sharp, salty and a bit fishy and not without reason. On your way to the White Harbor, you noticed no small number of fishing boats scouring the bite and a few whaling vessels too.

After reaching land you decided to issue your first real order as a Lord. You'd take a few guards to come with you as you went feasting at Winterfell whilst rest of your men led by Ser Bodrin, Ser Dan and Maester Tobias would head to your holdings, estimate the situation and act accordingly with the goal of manning the Fullaxe keep and getting it ready for your arrival.

With you, you had brought some People along from reach to settle on your lands. Whilst you were out warring, your father had taken the liberty to round up some extra workers looking for a new start somewhere further away with plenty of lebensraum.

Of course, this meant the unit was bit of hodgepodge, so it was entirely possible their skillset could be a bit unorthodox from regular troops.

> Congratulations! You gained a
[Custom unit] Trained: (60 exp)

Healing
Knowledge
Marksmanship

Will

>>2549354
Since the first thing we need is a Garrison to make sure we actually have a castle to come back to and since musketfire from behind stone walls is pretty radical, we should go for:
Marksman, Will, Awareness. Maybe switch out Will for Fighting, depending on whether a high Will means fiercely loyal troops who dont break or just wizard proofing.

Say we add 1 rank in both Awareness and Marksman to start off? Or Fighting and Marksman, depending on how useful Will is.

>>2549359
We should specialize since the xp is quite low. One in fighting would match better with endurance, since hand to hand fighting is more taxing than shooting guns.

>>2549354
Clarification on the xp;
It says that they are trained and have 30 xp, but can only up 3 stats to 3. That means that each of the free stats actually cost 20 xp right? Furthermore that would imply we would have to spend 50 xp to get a stat up to 4 from 2, am I getting this right?

>>2549364
They start with 60xp, my bad.

>>2549364
Every human has default stats of 2, but yiu are correct on the stat cost going up with each level.

Also you can't have more bonus dice than the rank of the ability.

>>2549370
Right but were my numbers were right?
Say we bump up their marksmanship to 4 and put a bonus dice in awareness, would that work?

>>2549354
>Awareness
>Marksmanship
>Will

No, what I mean is that each unit of troops can learn 3 separate attributes skills without a military academy.

To raise an attribute from 2 to 3 costs 30 exp, To raise an attribute from 3 to 4 costs 40 exp, from 4 to 5 costs 50 and so on.

Basically, if you wanted a unit of dudes who all were master marksmen, you'd need 120 exp minimum.

If you want a unit that can invest exp in marksmanship, fighting, endurance and stealth, you'd need a military academy.

That's what I mean by 3 stats.

Sorry if this is complex, I'm sorta learning the rules of this game by running this quest and this is now a test of the unit upgrade portion.

>>2549377
So we basically this, and buff Awareness and Marksmanship. Good shots with keen eyes. Not really meant for clubbing but the muskets are even better short range. Besides, if it ever comes to it, we can give them pistols for CQC.

>>2549354
>Deception
>Knowledge
>Stealth
We need information gatherers, not a combat unit

>>2549668
I kind of like the idea of secret service/police types. We'll need to get law right with our land.

However, I would probably reccomend swapping Knowledge for Fighting or Marksmanship. We can do the officer thing and make Knowledge for them. Even KGB were trained for combat.

>>2549377
This, though preferably with endurance instead of will to handle winter better.

>>2549668
>>2549693
We literally dont have any men there. Our security consists of us and the two fresh knights. No guards, not even an angry drunk to protect our gates. We literally cant do without a garrison unit. After that? Sure, we can have 3 squads so Outriders for the dirty job of killing bandits and the SS to weasel them out.

But right now? We NEED a Garrison.

>>2549746
Garrison can be made with levies.

Chances are there's already baseline troops there (or that we'll be able to muster easily with our rolled stats). Unless the Rad Kind would correct me, I believe thse are literally extra troops for us- not ALL our troops.

>>2549746
Went back to the last thread to doublecheck. We rolled for Power and ended up with 16 after modifiers. This means our land doesn't have a lot of troops, but Green Garrison literally costs 3 points, so we could easily have one for crime deterring.

I see this unit as our old man giving us a boost. As such, these guys should ether be our ringers or a specialty unit we won't be able to have on hand when we get there.

>>2549751
Nah, when the last lord died and his friends looted the castle and fled into the night, the only remaining troops in the region are pretty much the town militia which is in control of the Mayor of your small town and isn't much of a military force.

However if you want more special troops, you can commission them as needed, the only difference is that these gifted troops will be Reachmen and thus more loyal to you, whilst the military units you make with your power resource will be Northmen.

>>2549763
But we will be able to make more troops, right? That si to say, these aren't the only ones?

>>2549768
We, with our current holdings have a limit of 3 units, IIRC. So a Garrison, Outriders and 1 left over. SS would not be a bad pick but we can also build ourselves a Secret Police holding that deals with this shit and gives mechanical bonuses to us as well. It can also be upgraded to do a bit of shenanigans outside our lands.

Basically, we can get the same results with other things as well but we cant get a garrison through security. Since the Outriders will be more Pride based anyway I suggest we get mega loyal castle guards as the first thing.

>>2549814
It's not that you can't station them outside of your castle as well, but yea, the Small Castle can only hold a host of 3 units.

>>2549864
Where could we put them? A garrison as Town Guard? Would a unit "out in the field" need a space or could we rotate? Do we need to build more shit to house 4+ or could we do some creative placement and encampment stuff?

>>2549961
You could make a town garrison, sure.

>>2549961
Hypothetically if you want to have more troops, you'd need to expand your base of operations or create a new one.

In layman's terms this means forts, towers, keeps and the like.

>>2549814
Why get any of that? Even with our technological advantage those troops all suck. Let’s just go for 2 trained ranged units and replace bows/crossbows with our muskets, and a unit of cavalry for mobility. It’s not like our musketmen can’t be on garrison duty.

>>2550032
The reason I want a Garrison unit is that they get breddy good bonuses for defending. Really shit at attacking but since we are going to turtle anyway and we have both a town and castle to protect theyll come in handy. Not that I mind extra infantry and I am definitely in favour of getting Outriders but we really do need a Garrison. Especially if they are loyal Reach men.

>>2549377
I will support this.

>>2549377
This.

Probably should point out that Will primarily affects resistance against terror weapons and magical attacks whilst Discipline is what keeps them following orders better and allows them to reorganize if they're broken.

File: types.png (121 KB, 424x807)

121 KB PNG

In case it's useful.

>>2550297
But we cant buy discipline with xp. We can only train them otherwise. But thanks for the heads up.

>>2550351
Will gets less useful the more a unit gets trained apparently.

If we want to make soldiers out of them, they will probably need some close combat skill too...

>>2550351
Discipline comes from level of training, which can be purchased with Power.
If your dudes are Elites, the DC for your warfare tests for them to follow orders starts at 0, which means that unless there are penalties involved, they autopass even if you were a mongoloid with 1 warfare score that rolls only 1's

>>2550360
So guys.

Awareness
Marksmanship
Fighting

Y/N? What are the opinions and what are the alternatives. The idea here is a bunch of men who shoot straight and can see the enemy far enough to turn them into mush before they even reach the moat. Fighting for bayonett fun times when things really go to shit. Though keeping in mind we have limited XP points we probably will only level the first two to 4.

File: 1984 ruled by merchant.jpg (65 KB, 500x791)

>>2549668
Supporting, the enforcers of our will should be loyal Reachmen, gestapo skills are nice in case some people (i.e. Littlefinger, Veryes, faceless men, other enemies, etc.) try to infiltrate us.

>>2550419
endurance maybe? for holding the line longer. thats probably quite important for a garrison as much as awareness.

>>2550539
Sure, since they ideally wont go into CQC but will definitely do long shifts and need to be reliable.

Awareness
Marksmanship
Endurance

>>2550629

Soldiers kept going into CQC even when both sides started using modern gun in WW1, our soldiers will definitely end up in CQC since the enemy will be charging at us every time. Having musket is no guarantee that everything will be at range, I mean, we saw the consequences of having troop with crappy CQC in our first lives, total defeat.

>>2550744
I am talking about dudes in a castle. In a siege, wed have more troops than a single Garrison. troops that would be trained in that, whereas the Garrison will never have to march on the field, just make sure nobody sneaks up on the castle and shoot anybody that does.

>>2550629
I'd support this. I picture big Grenadir type guys who we might even be able to give hand cannons to at some point.

>>2550744
we will have to rely on barricades and earthworks within the castle grounds in the event of a siege then. easy. Also we can up their fighting when we train them up to veteran and elite, so it wont be terrible.

At the river, a train of riverboats and longships was waiting. For a moment you wondered if you should have ordered the Swivel guns to be brought aboard as you didn't exactly have good memories from traveling by rivers.
Nevertheless, only a fool would bother attacking this host in hopes of plunder as you were not exactly the only one who brought guards with them.

Since you didn't have your own boat capable of fording the rivers, you had requested from Lord Manderly if you could join him on his vessel as you were more or less going the same way. He graciously had extended to you his hospitality and welcomed you aboard.

At his ship, there were various other people of import as well, or at least people of import to you. Vassal lords of the Manderlys, some which were even your neighbours.

There were folks of House Ewart, their Lord being one Tomas who grew flax north of you and spun them for linens. A Man around his mid-40's but easy-going fellow who seemed to be doing rather well for himself by the sounds of it.

Then there was House Ashlars whose Lord Liam was apparently a "Knight of the Order of the Green Hand" along with his liege.
A Bannerlord of some prominence to the Manderlys. Stern, Brash, Rugged. You know the type, a real warhorse. In his mid-30's, his wealth comes from the warhorses he breeds and weapons that he forges. His Castle stood in the middle of the space between White Harbor and Kingsroad.

There was also House Hattie, which apparently was a house of huntsmen and fur traders. Apparently their seat was a woode. fort north of White Harbor in a forest where they cultivated for game and timber.

And there's was also the girl Airis Fullaxe that Lord Manderly's wife decided to bring as her handmaiden.

The way to Winterfell would take some time and this would be a decent opportunity to get to know some of the Lords that inhabit the same vague geographical area as you do.

Question is who should you talk to?

> Get to know the girl, Airis Fullaxe. If nothing else, you'd like to know more of what brought her house down.
> Get to know Lord Tomas Ewart. He seems fairly well off for a minor northern lord.

Chat the girl, then the hunter. Girl to asses her worth and the troubles of our land and hunter to help track down the bandits in our woods. We will out-produce the warrior in iron soon anyway and buying flax is shit vs farming it yourself.

[1/2]

You decided to approach the young woman, clearly still in her teens. You had reckoned that knowing what sort of shit went down in those lands is preferable to being completely oblivious and you'd like to know exactly what sort of woman was Lord Wyman trying to barter you.

"Lady Airis Fullaxe? Arthur Tallon, I am the newly minted Lord of your family's former holdings."
As you introduce yourself she gives you a curtsy
"Pleased to meet you Lord Tallon, I hope your rule will be more fortunate than that of my family's."
"I was wondering if you'd have some time to talk about what exactly happened to cause your misfortunes. I've heard a bit, but I'd have your side of the story as well if you'd be willing to share it."
"I wasn't there, so I can't really tell you much."
"Well, if you could tell me anything, that would be helpful."

She turns her back to you and watches at the passing landscape for a while before beginning her story.
"I was 9 years old when they took me to White Harbor as a Ward of Lord Wyman Manderly after my Father chose the wrong side in Robert's Rebellion. Ever since I've had little contact with my brothers as they never were not much for writing letters.
Few years from there my eldest brother was taken by fever and then my brother Varn took over.
He was fiercely proud of our heritage and all but disowned me when he heard I had embraced the new gods and the southern ways.
Months ago I had heard the news that my brother had been found guilty of smuggling arms, armor and ships to the clans of the Vale and that his titles were revoked by Lord Eddard Stark after he failed his trial, but you surely knew of that more than I."

"I'd like to hear what's your personal take on this situation."
"Yes, I believe it was possible that my brother was guilty of what he was accused of. There were debts that needed to be paid and he might have taken that path out of spite. He likely saw my conversion as an insult to him and our ancestors. However the looting of our castle, that came as a surprise. My brother would have never approved of it despite our differences."

"Right. Do you have hard feelings for me taking your lands? I'd like to know where we stand exactly."
She pauses for a moment and replies
"I understand why it had to be done. Naturally I am not happy about it, who would be? But far more I lament the loss of my family than that our lands. In the North land is cheap, but family is precious."
"My condolences."

"It's fine, this discussion was something I expected to happen sooner or later and after all things could be worse. Lord Wyman has been taking care of me like I were his daughter and White Harbor is more eloquent than my father's poor little coaling town."

"You seem to be taking all this in rather well. You don't miss your home?"
"Sometimes, but whatever memories that lingered there have likely been desecrated by what has happened there. Our heirlooms stolen, servants and friends killed..."
"Had you been there, things would have been far worse no doubt."
She nods
"You are a Knight are you not, Ser Arthur."
"I am. of sorts."
"Bards often sing of tales of Reach, a land of chivalry where Knights go to Quests for their ladies to prove their valour. I understand I've no right to ask you of this, but I'd be grateful if you'd find it in your heart to hunt down those men and slay them."

Might be good for getting a hand at ground command

I'd support marriage for political and law gains.

S-she also looks... nice

>>2555624
There are almost no gains to be made from marrying her. Save our potential marriage alliance for someone with actual wealth, power and influence, or dragons.

>>2556347
See, while she has little wealth attached, she *may* have some political pull with the locals. Depending on what she can do and who else we can snag she may not be a bad option. Especially since she seems at least somewhat court savvy with her speech manner. May be our diplomat. If she is shit though we get some other wench.

And no, its not Dany.

>>2556598
There are only four points to get Danny. Three dragon eggs when crashing the wedding and killing large Dothraki. Broodmare for magical bloodline as confirmed fire/heat resistance/immunity magitech gene carrier.

That is it. They are good points of course, but not something that you want in any skill based position.

>>2557061
The thing is that while we can steal the eggs and horses, having Dany in our lands means Rob will find out sooner or later and then well be in the shit.

Not that I mind fucking around with dragons or blood magic but we are so noob at this stuff, lack a dragonrider bloodline to make the buggers obey and are so small we cant throw around any weight in case of fubar that it is just not feasible right now. Stealing the eggs would be nice though.

>>2559359
Have some covert ops and safe houses in essos. Stuff her there.

She is probably a requirement of the hatching procces, plus the comet and three sacrifices of personal worth to her (Drogo, her kid, the witch- replace with Viserys, Cheesemonger and someone else)

Fucking about to get the dragons is imho worth it. We get to respawn and try again, but the flying firebreathing lizards are the closest thing we will get to effective close air support. Biological attack helicopter equivalents in essence.
And once Bobby B is dead and we assassinate fake Aegon via a sniper, we hold the cards to a targ restoration, making Varys predisposed to work with us after trying a few shenanigans, especially if we get a male child with her to seem we are personally willing to back such a play to mortals.

Not perfect but we get multiple attempts anyway, and exploring the essos parts is worth it for the dividends it can pay off, even with the risks.

>>2559680
Id agree if we had enough knowledge of the arcane. As it stands, we are prolly gonna face some pretty bad obstacles and fail with the plant.

As to CAS, imagine a biplane that does machinegun runs along the enemy lines and a bomber dropping incendiary. A lot more reliable than dragons and far less likely to get us in the shit with the rest of rebel westeros.

Maybe at some later reincarnation when we hold enough arcane know-how to pull this sort of shit off on our own. As it stands we basically know jack shit.

It's easier to make a biplane armed with a machine gun and dive bombs than it is to get the Dragons to hatch.

Dragon eggs might be rare, but there are some around and everyone who has ever handled one had the same idea. "I wanna hatch some dragons." and this is including Targ attempts at doing so.

If all it took was fire and blood, then Summerhall would have been a resounding success.

>>2559697
They did not pull a sacrifice lives of significant personal worth, after amajor celestial event.

Astronomer dude can get us the best time for it, and we need three persons of considerable worth to Danny that she would then willingly sacrifice (that is going to be the major bitch in getting done)
As we know her fire resistance is on before the wedding.

And of course some necessary dragon lore/higher mysteries.

Plus, I would rather futz about with the eggs on our own timetable than let them hatch under poor tutelage and inept command that will see them dead and any biplane we make absolutely mangled by the flying fire critters.

>>2559706
They had vast amounts of dragonlore, wildfire, sorcery was involved and the ritual ended up killing King Aegon V, Prince Duncan, Lord Commander of the Kingsguard and many, many more.

I'd say that the sacrifices were a plenty, but the ritual was nevertheless still a failure. Also, the whole deal with Rhaegar thinking himself primce who was promised would imply the ritual was conducted under a "bleeding star", implying some astronomical phenomenon.

Basically, it's a crapshoot with high stakes

>>2559706
Id like to see the dragon that can tank a 100mm AA round and as QM said >>2559714 hard as balls and unlikely to work, whereas we could make steam engine biplanes in a pinch.

>>2559720
Balerion might, but that thing was over 100 years old when Aegon came to Westeros.

Though even Balerion would have a bad day if you scored a direct hit with 100mm AA gun.

>>2559760
Slow moving huge target. I think well be fine. He wouldnt even reach the gun battery without some heavy clouds.

Dragons are fleeting. We should focus on things with more permanence, such as hiring highly skilled men to tutor us so when we inevitably die, we can do all sorts of cool shit as a kid

> Disregard peasants, acquire chivalry

[1/2]

Those fellows are already in your shit list as is for being criminals. Hunting them down and getting rid of them is something you reckon that you ought to do as Lord at some point.

Besides, letting shirtless looters roam the countryside attracts entry-level mount and blade protagonists. It is known. Needless to say, it's time for Chivalry.

Shame that you don't exactly have a suit of shining armor since the Commissar outfit sort of clashes with the whole image of a knight.

You look into her eyes
"No plea for help shall find me wanting. No obstacle will stand before me."
"No evil will taint the lands bequeathed unto me."
"When the clarion call is sounded, I will ride out and fight in the name of Liege and Lady."
"That which is sacrament, I shall preserve."
"That which is sublime, I will protect."
"That which threatens, I will destroy, for my holy wrath will know no bounds."
"Honor is all."
"Chivalry is all."
"Rejoice, for we, the Knights of Tallon will be your shield."

She looks at you for a moment as if wondering if you're for real or not and then merely says "Thank you. Ser Arthur."

You give her a bow and tip your fedora like the supreme gentleman you are as your greasy hair majestically flops in the wind and your My Little Pony accessories sparkle in the sunlight. You finish off the performance with as deep "M'lady" as your nasal cavities can produce.

Yes, you truly have learned from your peers, safely securing the spaghetti in your pockets with a clever application of two-sided duct tape and disguising potential boners by sticking a tampon in your asshole and tying the string to your foreskin to prevent your masculine urges from threathening her and the thick coating of perfume in your armpits helps mask your sweat, helping to put her at ease for smelling one of her own.
Truly, you are the epitome of chivalrous conduct.

The Rest of the journey continued with little to no incident. You continued milking the woman of information on her former home, what little she had from since she was warded.

You learned that the town was largely managed by one Mayor Tarner and you learned that the region was sort of tilting towards the neck, which causes water and aquifers to create streams which flow to the swamps further south.

She also told you of her family's founding. Story of a man who fought naked in the swamps during the Andal invasion to show his bravery. Eventually he managed to gather a warband around him and would later be granted a hill to settle on.

After Aegon's conquest, the house had partaken in every Dornish war for the Targaryens and apparently done relatively well and earned rewards of gold and silver each time they fought, save the last time. Historically eager for fighting, but more often than not on the losing side, but still earning glories of war.

Upon arriving at Winterfell, you were all welcomed with a great feast.
It was noticably cooler this far North, but from your opinion it was nowhere near as bad as they made it appear in the show.
You could tell it wad summer and a man could well enough handle himself with the same sort of clothes that you'd wear at sea.

Sure, you might not want to necessarily sleep under bridges on this climate, but everywhere with shadow was nice and cool, whilst the sun was pleasantly warm.

When your liege saw his wife, he immediately unsaddled and joined her. As he does, Lady Airis whispers to you. "She was pregnant when he left." Oh, right. Arya was born around this time.
"Lord Wyman! 100 Gold says it's a girl. You in?"
"And end up like the Whents? Hah! I think not."
"What happened with the Whents?" Airis asks
"You've heard of the Tourney of Harrenhal and the moment when all smiles died? Well, Lord Tallon was there and he was the only one left smiling at that moment. Why don't you tell her what you did."
You smile smugly
"When I was 14, I gambled my winnings from the Squire's melee on a series of bets, multiplying them several times over until what I had won just over 1500 Gold Dragons"
"You're joking."
"I assure you, he is not."

At that a moment, the wetnurse brings the baby to Lord Eddard and he lifts her up, lion king style.
"I have a daughter!"
The Crowd cheers and gives applause until he finally returns the baby to the nursemaids.
"How did you know?" she asks
"I'm pretty good at guessing certain things."
You said as you each of the guests began to line up to the fesdt hall, being offered Bread and Salt and welcomed by Lord Eddard and Lady Catelyn.

"Lord Wyman, it is so good to see you again! We've pork just the way you like it. Please, some bread and salt."
He takes some into his mouth and the moment he does, his demeanor relaxes and becomes more casual, though not overly so.
"Woman after my own heart! You really lucked out with this one My Lord. Three children, a beautiful wife and a warm hearth waiting at home. What more could a man ask for?"
They pat eachother on the back as he wobbles in.

Next is your turn, as you step forth Lord Eddard speaks out.
"Catelyn, this is Lord Arthur Tallon, an exceedingly talented man from Reach, hailing from a good family of Knights."
"Pleasure to meet you Lord Tallon."
"Likewise Lady Catelyn. I wish good health to you and your family."
"Some bread and salt?"
"Oh, thank you please."
You take the food into your mouth. After swallowing it, you were protected by the guest right for your stay.
"I apologise for not being as familiar as Lord Wyman. The North is still very new to me."
"It's quite alright, I was scared when I first came here as well. Please, enjoy your stay."
"I think I will, thank you."

See what he is missing that we could provide, maybe in return for loaning a few books (copy that shit) and ask him if he knows about anyone of potential interest to us (be it merchants, hedge Maesters/knights, talented younglings, leftover skilled workers and so on). Maybe also start offering distilleries? A bit of promo work for the biggest Maester in the Norf wouldnt go amiss.
