Uh...OP?
The fuck's with that pic?

>>16525268

just a random pic i have and never been able to use >.>

rolled 100 = 100

>>16525254
Alright. What do our men, and our people know about Red Belly and his bandits?

>>16525275
Maybe consider opening with one of the several thread-relevant pics next time...just a thought.

I say next time, but you could as easily delete this thread and start a new one.

>>16525287
My first 100 wasted

>>16525254

>Steam pug

You are small time

>>16525254
i think that someone needs to stat that pug.

rolled 57 = 57

So, large bounty on Red Belly's head to bring in bounty hunters and mercenaries?

>>16525275
I like it. Tickles my sense of humor. Steam Pug... heh.

pulling together all your men you ask one simple question

"Who here knows anything about the Red Belly!?"

Kelor steps in through the door "I do ser, he hobbles forward on his crutch until he stands before you, I can arrange a meeting with him, he is an honourable man he's been forced into this by your father but he may listen to reason"

>>16525310

I hate to say I Told You So, OP, but this is exactly why.

>>16525317

That sounds to me like the last 600 of our Crowns fading away...

>>16525327
Well since we got a hundred on it. I guess that's true.

>>16525327
Ah well.
Another good man who's been fucked over by our father.
We can certainly relate.
Let's set up a meeting, promising him our protection, and talk things out.

>>16525372
Well I suppose that since it seems everyone and their mother knows that our father was a dick, it would be more understandable to forgive the bandits.

Unless they stole from someone important then we need to kill the fuck out of them.

>>16525372

Indeed. Maybe we could grant parcels of this newly acquired forest area to any of Red Belly's bandits that agree to give up their life of crime.

rolled 9 = 9

>>16525372
>>16525388
I agree with the general "talk it out" consensus we seem to have. Hell, pic related was a criminal before he was a lawman...

>>16525406

Good thinking. That, coupled with our newly lowered taxes, should help to persuade them.

In time, they will become another source of revenue. Don't make them bend the knee too low though.

rolled 99 = 99

Holy shit I call upon the dice gods to assist me in correcting this horrible roll!

>>16525419

"Sir, i need you to wait in the Watch Barracks if you wish to meet the Red Belly, Be there by midnight and you'll get your meeting" Kelor informs you

You wait several hours and the sun finally sets, and you go out to the watch barracks and wait there with Kelor when you hear someone enter

"GAH son of a bitch, who put this table here" you hear wood scraping against stone "BROTHER WHERE ARE YOU?

"Im in here Bertrand!" Kelor yells out

you're castellan is in league with a notorious bandit in the area...

rolled 100 = 100

>>16525491
That's fine. Our castellan is either truly loyal or a truly devoted mole. Either way, we have no reason to not trust him implicitly.
If Red Belly is indeed his brother, that works to our advantage.

Let's sit him down, offer some mead and sausage, and break the ice by sharing stories about how fucking awful a human being our father was.
After that we can slowly broach the subject of exactly why he's an outlaw, and how we can work together to make everyone happy.

rolled 57 = 57

>>16525491
pray to the beloved old gods of the north(dice?) that our 100 dragons bought his loyalty despite getting his shit wrecked by our epic failure at tactics.

>>16525491
Skylar was confused. Things weren't adding up, so he said to his new Castellen, "Kalor why did you not tell me Red Belly was your brother."

After hearing Kalor's answer, Skylar would say to Red Belly, "Welcome, I'd like to talk to you about the current state of our lands. If you can finish off the other bandits, then I will pay you and you can keep whatever you find from the raided enemy bandits. What do you say?"

>>16525555
I rolled the first 100, and the 99 am I blessed?

Anyways, we need to build a shrine or some kind of temple to the old gods in thanks for our blessings.

>>16525535
Well, I fold. This guy wins everyone! It twas a good post.

>>16525567
The old gods like Wierwoods...
We shall become Jonny Weirwoodseed...

Don't hate me just because I've rolled a 99 or 100 in every thread thus far.

>>16525575
Nah bro, you've got some good material in yours.
We can work that in a little later in the conversation though, I think.

Don't forget to vote the previous threads on the Suptg archive!

Good point, going now.

He walks through the door not seeing you "Kelor its been so long!" he embraces Kelor in a bear hug. Kelor lets out a grunt of pain "heh heh sorry about that, i forgot you got injured out in my neck of da woods, I's still trying to find the rest of dem who did this to you he grins through a thick red beard.

"well i wouldnt be here if it wasn't for Lord Skylar here" waving his one good hand in your direction. You stand up do a slight bow and motion for him to sit.

immediately his voice goes cold as the North "i thank ye for saving my little brothers life sire, but that doesn't change anything" he mutters

"Understandable" you reply, "taking a seat and pulling out some of your wife's sausage amd start chewomg on one, the spices and juices soon clog the room with a very mouth watering aroma "maybe we can reach an agreement" you say between mouthfuls " we know that you have been having trouble with some of the banditry in the area as well as us, and that my father" you spit in disgust as you remember him "may have forced you into this" you offer him and Kelor some sausages and they take some and start eating it

"Theres been an opening in my Guard for a seasoned woodsman like you for quite sometime, you'll have free reign throughout the forest, all i ask is that you follow the Kings Laws, and that you keep the peace, and you can deal with any bandits as you see fit" swallowing the last bite of sausage you grab another one and start eating it looking at him

"well..."he says "i do like the terms of this agreement, but only if my men are pardoned as well." he states bluntly.

you mull it over while eating the sausage and finally stand up "agreed" and offer him your hand which he encompasses in a gargantuan paw and he shakes it violently laughing

Dude, fix up the quotation marks, it's making a bother to read.

...
I just realized our "year" is wrong.
We've been saying 295.
It should be 281 /shrug...
Here's a fun fact for you: The years are measured from King Aegon's Landing.
I doubt it matters. It's "3 years before aGoT" either way.

>>16525642

i think i mentioned in the first one that it was something like four-five years before aGoT IIRC

>>16525639

sorry, thats always been my bad point no matter what, i get to engrossed in writing that i sometimes forget to place quotations in the right place

>>16525656

Yeah at the sausage bit I thought we were narrating our actions in the third person.

Would have been kind of cool...

>>16525627

you now have a seasoned Ranger that is very adept at hunting down bandits with a group of 20 seasoned Bowmen at his command

what do you do now good ser?

He's to clean up the forests in our lands, including those we've just acquired. Make sure Herla provides him with an accurate map.
Any bandits are to be dealt with as necessary. If they want to surrender to him, they may, but he's responsible for them.
He'll receive a dragon for every bandit he brings back alive for the Wall.
He and his men will need a place to live... do we have any keeps or holdfasts on our lands that we could grant him? Maybe a hunting lodge?
We need to secure his loyalty, after all.

Order Ranger Bertrand and his Bowmen to begin tracking and slaying bandits in our lands. Offer a very small bonus for each bandit killed, with proof of death in left ears. Then nail said ears to a sign erected in the main market.

Red Belly, the acclaimed leader of the bandits only have 20 at hand?

Then set about the levying or dissolving of the remaining banditry that he trusts. Back to your homes. If you do not have a home, one will be Built. Good thing about that new mill town is that they dont know the men's past, wouldnt hurt their chances at finding a wife.

>>16525692

I forgot about the wall. Disregard my last post, let's support this action.

Whoa guys. That's a whole lot of suggestions, let's clean this up for OP

>>16525727
Seconding this.
It would be good to know who might accuse us of murder in the future.
Also, who to *not* offer her to again.
If OP is busy with other things, I can make something up, but it won't be anyone (or from any family) that's important

>>16525692

Night turns into day and you summon Bertrand to your presence

"We need you and your men to occupy the Hunting Lodge here it is an area of high banditry." you say as you hand him a rolled up scroll

he opens it for a quick glance "hmph, that be easy pickin's for me an my lad." he bows and starts to walk away

"If any bandit surrenders its a gold dragon for each sent to The Wall!" you yell after him

he just gives a two fingere. d wave as he leaves your hall. hopefully this will make it a safer travel between Miller's Hill and the Roost

>>16525834
i like shrines

>>16525834
A single weirwood would suffice as the center of our godswood. That doesn't cost as much as a full shrine, most likely, and would probably get us quite a bit of immigration from nearby towns.

>>16525859

We're northmen and we don't have a godswood already?

We need to rectify that

Only if we eventually expand it.

Though I'm sure it will cost less then the good shrine.

>>16525751

(Bertrand has a Core of 20 Elite Marksmen he uses to hunt bandits with)

You hear some yelling coming from outside the keep, when you go to investigate it your guards are holding back a old widow.

"MY SIRE I MUST TALK WITH YOU IT IS ABOUT YOUR EDYTH'S HUSBAND IT CONCERNS WHO MURDERED HER!"

"Let her go this minute!" you roar at the guards who release her and look quite sheepish that it took four of them to restrain an old lady.

She straightens her blouse out and raps the nearest guards knuckles with her walking stick "young ones these days don't know nothing bout respect." and hobbles towards you.

"My liege" she informs as she walks by you "can you light up a fire to warm these old bones and wrangle up some of your wifes sausages i can smell them from here. and then i'll point you in the right direction of the murderer."

as you stoke the fire back up, one of your serving girls brings her a plate of sausages which she attacks with a gusto and after finishing it she finally talks "Its was the Freys" she burps out " Walder wants to swarm you with his sons and merge your house into his."

"how do you know this?" you reply suspiciously

"a old woman's knitting circle is like a web of a spider, so many rumors and interesting tid bits fall into it. but i must digress, this is all i know, you may find out more in Frey's Castle."

"But...how do they even know of us?"

"You're one of the vassals of Ned, Walder met-" she burps "sorry Walder met your father during Ned and Caitlyn's wedding and saw your lands, and must have decided he wants them simple as that."

if this old crone is right...it could be an ill omen

>"MY SIRE I MUST TALK WITH YOU IT IS ABOUT YOUR EDYTH'S HUSBAND IT CONCERNS WHO MURDERED HER!"
>Husband
>Her
This just got interesting.

>>16525946

and here i thought i did good =*(

imma just go sit in my corner now

>>16525926
Or she just wanted sausages, so the bitch made up some story.
Even if true, Wat do? We can't really fuck with the Freys.
Well, okay, we *can* fuck with the Freys, but that just makes more Freys.

Fucking Freys...

rolled 7 = 7

>>16525926
The Freys are already rich as sin, mostly because of it.
What in the name of the Others would old Lord Walder want with our lands?
Clearly there's some hidden value to it. Gold, maybe, or silver, or something stranger still.
Either way, this will require verification of some kind before we can act on it.

Give the crone a couple of dragons for her trouble, and tell her House Strongcock always appreciates the wisdom of its smallfolk.

It's ok OP you did good.

While this is simply a rumor, we should take it into account. But for now, we must carry on. While our bandits find other bandits, we must focus on improving the region. Start clearing off sections of forest to be cut down. Then start making a furnishing buiessness. Actually, we could build ships, and sell them to the Greyjoys....

That's for debate. Just cut down the trees for now.

The old gods are furious at us! Watch as our rolls wither and die!

Your castle finally has a wierwood, though not cheaply, you got a small sapling transplanted in, it will be a while before its fully grown but you can already tell that it resonates greatly with the small folk as there seems to be more immigrants around town.

50 people have moved into and around the Roost

>>16525963
we can't hand out fucking dragons like candy.
We're not the Lannisters.
Give the smallfolk a couple stags. Smallfolk love stags.
It's a ton to them.

Here's a Fun fact for you:
In Westeros, people hate base 10 for some fucking reason.
A Dragon (gold) is worth 210 Stags (silver) a Stag is worth 56 pennies (Copper).
Hence, a Dragon is worth 11,760 pennies.
A large loaf of bread or a dozen eggs is worth 1penny, at most. A healthy chicken is worth about 4 pennies.
A milk cow can be had for under 10 Stags.
The yearly income of a smallfolk is 30-stags or less.
1 dragon is 7 years income for a healthy, skilled male.
"A few Dragons" is likely as much money as someone could reasonably earn in a lifetime.
tl;dr Don't give out dragons to every old woman who comes spitting shit at us, or everyone will.

>>16525993
>74
>Doesn't do a damn thing

She called him Ned, but us my liege.

>>16525963

No Crowns, we can't be handing out gold like its candlemass. Give her a basket of sausages.

We really can't mess with the Freys. Tell our rangers to be on the lookout for incursions into our land.

Do we have someone qualified to search for minerals? We should look for the wealth that our lands apparently hold.

>>16526009
That's actually really interesting! My D&D experience always had me assuming it was base 10. Where did you get those numbers?

rolled 54 = 54

>>16526017
to get to us, they'd need to get to US.
Warn our children, the boys for assassins, and the girls for, overly affectionate men.

And it may be worth giving a hug to our eldest daughter. many had suspected her for the crime, We may have even suspected her.

>>16525980

a few weeks pass and the lumber operation is slowly chipping away at the old growths, being plagued by the bandits. luckily bertrand has thinned their numbers...somewhat none of them has taken to going to the north electing to rather die...then sit on a wall of ice.

Luckily though enough trees were cut down to sell to the Greyjoys have netted you a nice sum of 150 Dragons and couple with the 110 from taxes made it a somewhat prosperous month.

>>16526033
They go over it in bits and pieces throughout the books, it's typically background stuff and the brain tends to gloss over it.

Hop onto /rs/ and grab the Green Ronin aSoIaFRPG books (the quest was, originally, loosely based on that game).
They did an absolutely phenomenal amount of research, and poured over every line of books 1-4, digested the facts out, and distilled them into a couple setting books.
Some of the stuff maybe ... fabricated, or obtained from GRRM directly.

Also, Spoilers, Spoilers everywhere. Huge fucking bombshell spoilers dropped casually and without warning in the middle of sentences about rules.

Oh fuck yes the aerie. There are so many things Right about our son squiring for the Arryns I can't list them here. But Fuck Yes.

The thing with Walder would seem to confirm the rumor from the crone, though it doesn't really tell us much... allowing us free passage might mean he wants to ally himself with us, though that could just be a ruse to swallow us up through a one-sided marriage.

Still, we could profit from stringing him along a little while, if we want to play a dangerous game.

This quest is becoming even more amazing. We should use the IRC on suptg whenever we have this quest.

Anyways we should start putting those 50 new people to work.

OP how are the roads to the mill, hunting lodge, the mine, from the Roost? And the roads leading to other lands?

>>16526152
Lord Walder is known to have daughters, granddaughters, and nieces to spare. He sees a healthy unwed boy come through, it's not surprising he should set the state to toss one his way.

((Minor point: None of the Starks are knighted (hence no "Ser Stark", unless this is a deviation from "cannon") Additionally, the title "Ser" is never used exclusively with a last name... I feel bad I keep pointing this out.))

Maester Herla approaches you one morning and hands you a package, From Ian, with a letter attached.

As you sit the package down you can feel something roll around inside it and a pleasant odor leaks out something you have never smelt before.

"Dearest Father,

Please forgive my tardiness of writing but i went to White Harbor to find mercenaries to help protect our land, and somehow talked my way on board a ship bound for Dorne, There are many interesting things about this place, there is very few trees here and the ones that are bear a weird fruit, one that bites like a cold wind but is very delicious,i have packaged enough of them inside for the family and some spices for mother, i have been talking to a Dornish Lord about a partnership. Hopefully it can be favorable. I will write more in my next letter

Regards, Ian"

>>16526196

inside the box are 6 orange...leathery orbs , and a bag of spices that when smelt makes your nose slightly burn and your mouth water

>>16526196

A Dornish lord....no name, Ian? No NAME!?! I thought you were the clever child...

Who knows what we are dealing with

>>16526174

there is only one "road" and thats to the mine and thats just a path wide enough for two carts to go side by side by in a dirt path

everything else is connected by hunting trails

>>16526204
Oh... That's right.
I rolled a 2 on him doing something useful.
Fuck me.
Well, at least we have Calum.

rolled 63 = 63

>>16526196
This... opens up some very unique opportunities.
Can we have the boy send us some seeds? If we can attempt to cultivate Dornish flora up here, even a single crop, we'll be instantly wealthy.

Additionally, we have the opportunity to try and set up some business arrangements. Dorne isn't known for forests, and the Reach isn't their friend. Maybe we could ship some lumber down south?
They might be willing to pay a little extra for the privilege of not supporting Highgarden.

>>16526215

yep...it leaves me with so many new areas to explore...its gonna be fun

>>16526217
Pretty sure Dornish crops won't grow in the North.
You don't see a whole lot of Citrus in Scandinavia.
But who knows!

>>16526215

I suggest we send Calum in one of two directions. Either across the Narrow Sea to Braavos to aid Ian in the search for mercenaries or consider starting his Maester training.

He should specialize in the 'higher mysteries', wow our people with magic!

As for what Ian has sent us...who are we trying to impress at the moment? Surely, any Lord of the North would be more than happy to receive such Southern treats.

>>16526232
Mandarin oranges can grow in below-freezing weather, if properly nurtured.
I don't know what the equivalent would be here, but if he sends us enough seeds we should be able to make something grow.
Also, recommend he marry a firstborn daughter of the most successful fruit merchant he can find down there. Nothing secures business like blood.

>>16526241

I'm against Ian marrying a fruit merchant's daughter. That's our ELDEST SON, man!

rolled 88 = 88

>>16526241
but then we waste a son on some foreign Merchant!

>>16526258
Agreed.
Though if he finds a nice Dornish Nobel Girl, all well and good.

>>16526258

he is also quick witted and with a silver tongue he may not end up marrying a merchants daughter...

55 Sword Garrison

>>16526259
>>16526258
Good point, I rescind the idea. I forgot for a moment that he was our firstborn.
Derp.
Still, he could try and arrange a betrothal for one of his sisters. See just how silver-tongued he is.
A lot of merchants would love to see their boys marry up to a noble house, even one as poor as ours.

>>16526259

Another fine, fine roll wasted...

>>16526263
Maybe our other sons.

Anyways OP can you bring up a list of our family and where everyone is right now? It's starting to get confusing

>>16526237
If we do send him to the Citadel, I sugest keeping him from becoming a master. Masters are servants who don't marry and don't hold lands. It would be kind of like making him take the black.

rolled 100 = 100

>>16526270

If the lad is the silver-tongued devil we think he is, he may be able to marry one of his sisters to a noble son of House Martell.

>>16526291
Scandalous?

Are we sure he wants it?

>>16526303
It's not scandalous at all. You have to pay your way at the Citadel, so every maester was either a lesser son of a noble house or knight. A few might be the children of exceedingly successful merchants and craftsmen, but they're very rare.

>>16526303
becoming a Maester is a way to "get rid of" extra sons.
We don't really have any to spare, especially since Ian is in rather ambiguous land atm.
No reason he can't learn stuff though...

>>16526289

"Dearest Father,

I have found a suitable husband for Edyth, his name is Durian of House Calik, They own a profitable port city and has recently lost his wife to the sea. I have sent him up to meet you in person to see if he meets your requirements

Ian"

>>16526319
...Go Ian.
That is all.

>>16526319

Really? Damn, I thought rolling 100's would get us a son of house Martell...

>>16526319
We need to commission a statue of our son due to massive proud.

>>16526319
wow.
I think more 100s need to be rolled.
This gets Edyth away from the Freys (if they really did kill her last Husband) and could give us a strong ally to help us ship goods.
We could trade lumber for spice.... hmmm
spicemustflow.jpg

>>16526334
House Martel has 3 "eligible" men.
One is in his 50s and Gouty.
One is in his 30s, and mad as a hatter.
One is 8. (or is it 9?)

rolled 30 = 30

How old is Karyn? If she isn't too old I don't see why we can't get down to making some more kids!

>>16526350
Hmm. Is slavery legal? Could we purchase slaves and free them, over them to live on our lands or go home?

Seems like a way to get a loyal populace.

>>16526350

but you are without a port, and most port masters charge a sizeable fund for using their port...

rolled 69 = 69

>>16526334
There's great success, and there's unrealistic success. Ian is already straddling the line with this one, don't push it.

>>16526350
If we start trading lumber and iron for spice and fruit, we can become a primary distributor to the North.
Maybe we should have Calum set up a shopfront for us in White Harbor?

>>16526350

First, we should meet Durian and see if he is good enough for our daughter!

Also, we may be able to roll this into getting Ian married off to one of the Sand Snakes...

>>16526360
nope.
Slavery is very illegal in Westeros.
Even buying slaves "over seas" and "Freeing" them to ship back would probably earn you exile/death/the wall.
Eddard Stark is known to greatly hate Slavers.
Ask the Mormonts.

>>16526361

If Edyth gets married we will have a port.

>his name is Durian of House Calik, They own a profitable port city

>>16526368
The Sand Snakes are bastards.
Why would we want to marry our trueborn son and heir to a bastard. a *dornish* bastard at that?

>>16526350
THIS QUEST CONTAINS INSUFFICIENT RAPE, CASTRATION AND FLAYING ALIVE.

ALSO, WHERE IS THE HODOR?

>>16526375
I think he means a port in the north.
You need one at both ends, now that I think about it.

>>16526380

indeed, can't have none of that magical teleporting stuff going on

plus you also need to impress him with your household more then anything he needs to know that he will have a secure ally

>>16526376
Point taken, scratch that idea. Let's see if we can't impress the Martell's enough to broach the idea of Ian marrying Arianne Martell. THE STRONGCOCK'S AIM HIGH! Besides, Martell's are a likes cats in heat, they might think our name's cool.

>>16526380
Good point, how can we secure a port in the North to get this operation under way? Perhaps reach out to our wife's family?

>>16526379

it does have sufficient amounts of Bran though...

and mytripcode changed...intradesting

rolled 30 = 30

>>16526398
The Iron Islands are too far away and too complicated by politics.
We can use the port at White Harbor (one of the largest in Westeros) and pay the fees. It'll only be a small expense for the massive profits we'll rake in.

If there isn't enough Hodor, we need to breed more massive retarded servants.

>>16526402
Question is we're going to need more people to cut down the lumber.

rolled 94 = 94

>>16526402

Well, I did amazing with Ian getting a suitor for Edyth, let's see how the Dice Gods like the idea of us setting up in White Harbor.

ROLLIN'!

>>16526417

Yes, yes I am.

>>16526417
...
You should roll all dice from now on I think.
100 followed by 94.
I jelly.

>>16526417
...

Merchant empire is a go!

>>16526417

you lead an envoy to White Harbor to broker an agreement and are met with the Port Master, after discussing it around a bit. you finally both agree to a 17% cut for the city on all trades done through this city

>>16526425

I don't think I should roll anymore. I fear that this train of awesome might have a collision with the Reality Express upon the rails of fate.

We need some drawfags in here to celebrate Lord Skylar Strongcock's recent string of successes.

rolled 100 = 100

>>16526417
I'm gonna plant some of that fruit like a fucktard... Maybe magic!

>>16526437
HOUSE STRONGCOCK FAVORED OF THE GODS

>>16526437

THE RIGHTFUL HEIR TO THE TITLE OF DESIGNATED DICE ROLLER HATH BEEN FOUND!

>>16526437

(GOD DAMN DUDE)

you plant several of the seeds from the exotic fruit Ian sent you and now have several saplings clinging to life despite everyones amazing

>>16526451
Really?

We're going to be fucking famous.

>>16526451

People will know the name of STRONGCOCK FRUITS!

How goes Durian's travels? I hope we can sit down with this lad and size him up for ourselves.

>>16526456
They won't last the winter.
..
...
...
Unless these fucking rolls keep up.
Jesus fuck.
We just broke the setting.

>>16526451
>>16526456
All available/relevant resources should be devoted to these crops. Herla and Calum are to do whatever research they can into optimal horticulture.
This is MoThErFuCkInG mIrAcLeS territory. This works and suddenly the entirety of the North is bidding for the right to kiss our feet.

>>16526462

or the freys or one of the big houses decide hey they might be worth absorbing through any means

>>16526462

When word gets out that we planted Southern fruit IN THE FUCKING NORTH, people are gonna know who the fuck we are.

Bitches will be scrambling for our fertile soil.

I think this just furthers my plan to marry Ian to Arianna, the Martell's will be impressed with us.

>>16526468
Oh god. We're really going to have to get shrines to near every god. We need to make sure our luck continues!

We need more people, troops, and workers!

Though should we swear everyone to secrecy to what happened? Do we really want this much attention?

>>16526474
>>16526480
Winter is still a few years away. Autumn doesn't even begin for more than three years.
We've got time to grow several harvests, if this works out.
IF

if it continues as is, i might just has to start working with some fan fic in here, cause damn theres no way this won't change at least one major battle or something

>>16526491
Send Ned some of our blessings.

rolled 93 = 93

>>16526474

Immediately send the half of the first harvest to Ned Stark as a tribute to our Lord.

>>16526500
IS god trolling us?

Alright, we need to fucking pace ourselves though.
Lets not get our shit all stormed up.
We've got some trees that'll get a year or two of fruits before winter hits.
We've got a good deal with the White Harbor port manager.
We've got a prospective Marriage lined up for Edyth.
This is all good.
But it'll take a little time to ripen.
Lets finish fixing up our Bandit problem (or they'll steal all our fucking oranges) and get the Iron mine/Mill working nice n' full.
No point in all the Trade negotiations if we have nothing to trade...

>>16526500

not enough time has passed for the trees to grow to fruit bearing age yet

>>16526500

I think I may come out of retirement.

Alright then, stomp them bandits.

>>16526509

Can we still keep the roll for when they do bear fruit? Seriously, Sansa might get her period from eating that fruit, IT'S THAT GOD-DAMNED GOOD!

>>16526520

ill keep it in mind, this has been fucking insane

>>16526520
As she's about NINE FUCKING YEARS OLD.
I seriously hope not.

rolled 52 = 52

>>16526517

Begin an aggressive campaign against the bandits. We must keep our lands peaceful from within before we can consider protecting from outside forces.

My word, that Durian boy's sure taking his time getting up here.

>>16526543

he is coming from Dorne, and he might want to make an impression as well...

Thanks for the epic bread /tg/ but it's 1am and I have a test tomorrow.
Hopefully there will be more tomorrow night.

>>16526543

Okay, no more rolls out of me. The magic, she is fading.

Archive and vote before you go to sleep, people.

WE have that amazing roll for sending gifts to Ned, and that average roll to killinate bandits.

OP?

>>16526543

You are having breakfest with your family still here when bertrand walks in with a group of twenty bandits led by chains, he yanks on the cord and they stumble into the floor, Dina gasps in astonishment, and gets a glare from your wife who mutters something about "a waste of chain."

"M'lord these twenty value their life too much and wish to be sent to the wall." he spits at the nearest one

"Very well, take them to the dungeons, then report to maester herla he will pay you the twenty dragons for your service." you wave him off and continue eating

the bandit problem is slowly growing less rampant, could there be a time where theres no such thing as bandits in this area?

>>16526601

Excellent, having twenty men take up the Black will make Ned that much happier with us.

What say you, gentlemen? Shall we continue this campaign against the bandits? Or are there other issues we should be focusing our attention upon?

Has someone suggested developing pike and crossbow battle methodology ala the Swiss and Italians in the late medieval / early modern period?

Because running an infantry based rape machine through all these cushy feudal baronies will fuck their shit up. And this primarily depends on land bearing capacity (population density). Which a long summer supports.

Also, obviously, enclosure.

"Hodor," said Hodor.

>>16526614
>Not Sure If Trolling

We want to maintain the peace
We do not want to fuck up the setting with modern knowledge
We do not want to ruin this awesome quest.

>>16526614
Later. There's already been too much amazing for Strongcock.

But let's seriously begin building good roads, and homes for the peasantry so we don't lose so much during the winter.

it looks like the thread is slowly dieing down, so ill end it for tonight, it will continue tommorow though at 7MST

>>16526627
Archived?

Anyways if anyone hasn't vote up the previous threads and this thread.

rolled 22 = 22

Fucking rollin' for funsies.

The lead time on producing a professional army of 3x 3000 men in tercios is at least 5 years.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tercio

We ought to at least be working on cadreisation of lower officers, training crossbowmen and stockpiling pikes.

In summer prepare for winter, in peace prepare for war.

>>16526650
Does Lord Strongcock actually have the knowledge or the people to do this?

it has been archived, you can now start upvoting it

>>16526656
Does it have the correct tags? The last two have completely different tags. And eventually they will be lost in the archive.

>>16526655

seeing as how westeros fights like mid Medieval Europe its not that far of a stretch actually

it'd take a bunch of masterful rolls though to get it rolling

>>16526666

ive been adding Song of Fire and Ice Quest and collective game as tags, should i be adding more?

>>16526656
Don't see it.

>>16526667
>it'd take a bunch of masterful rolls though to get it rolling

Hopefully the magic returns tomorrow night.

>>16526671
Look at the tags on the archive it's not the same.

Though the first Fire and Ice quest is good enough.

Cya next time you magnificent bastards. :D

>>16526667
>>16526666
Lone Master is correct. The Tercio is a late medieval development that relies on a combination of pike and ranged in a large self-supporting formation that is capable of mutual support with other like formations.

It developed out of the professional armies of the Swiss and Italians, forced by the Italian wars (think the Free Cities of Bravos much?).

You'd need to develop a professional cadre, much like the training of an individualistic feudal warrior, but with emphasis on human command, logistics, and unit tactics. You'd need to develop the production of House controlled weapons stockpiles (expensive). You'd need to develop professional crossbow men (guns were easy to use, crossbows, less so).

Then you'd need a wave of enclosures to force men off the land and into your Tercios.

It is do-able, but requires some sixes, forethought, and exposure to the Bravosi's professional companies.
