Well a Triple Alliance win in the battle would likely be followed up with a relief mission for Tyrosh and Myr. In the event of successes here the Triple Alliance would likely leave Braavos be and focus on suppressing what fighting capabilities Volantis has left until such a time as there is peace in the Seven Kingdoms and the entirety of the Reach + allies can launch an invasion of the Braavosi empire.

If relief of either or both of Tyrosh or Myr fails (the later isn't really an option but no matter) Sarelleon would make one last attempt at negotiate offering that the Reach will not later assault Braavos if they abandon Tyrosh anyway.

Also I won't be able to get an IC post up today. First thing tomorrow though. Sorry for the delay.

The delay is np. One thing: can I assume Volantis is my vassal, under the conditions Cheten and I were agreeing upon?

Besides that, if Laerio wins, he'll give the three cities a final chance to surrender and to release their slaves, otherwise... Well, the usual stuff when people don't bend even a little. Though he'll probably spare Lys anyways since he has some grudging respect for the man who raised a fleet from scratch to face him... I suppose it reminds him of his own history

.

After that, it would sending a seizable continent upriver to finish the subjugation of Norvos and Qohor, raising up lords beloved by the people in those cities, etc, etc. The replacement of rulership is essential if one does not want rebellion when he turns around to make sure there'll be peace with Westeros

.

I pondered sparing Salloreon if I might capture him, but... RP'ing would not allow it. He's the highest enemy of the state, and though Laerio would fulfill a last request, if he'd be romantic as that, and behead him himself, he'd still have to execute him.

Yes I noticed, I was begining to wonder if you had bailed on us.

Never!

Anyway, I'll have a post up tonight fortunately.

I await Lady Tully giving Quentyn an audience, and the Master of Ships awaits anything.

Aye

I was awaiting a Tully post, too, but I suppose I'll just post today anyway.

SM has informed me that he is a bit preoccupied with having just moved into a university. He is not dropping the RP but is presently unable to devote much time to it.

People waiting for House Tully, please try to pursue other story arcs.

With regards to both the Master of Ships and the Starks in Winterfell I can give you some Tyrell letters to deal with if you like?

Is the master of ships still on Dragonstone? If yes then I could send an emissary?

He hasn't left yet, nor does he intend to leave, though the Hand has been rather demanding of it as of late.

If it fits the Tyrell arc. I recall they don't believe the Starks to be vital to politics in the realm. Unless you want to marry a daughter off to the Stark heir or something.

Noted. Then I will have the Tyrells try to drag the Master of Ships into the war in the east.

I don't quite have the daughters for that. Amarei is reserved for whoever eventually wins the Iron Throne and Elenei isn't quite marriage material. But since House Stark is supplying Braavos with timber I can have House Tyrell object to that.

Do you say that because Elenei is a little Highgarden Arya, or because she's 13? Because if the latter, I recall a baby getting married in the books, and if the former, I think the North is the one place in the realm for independent-minded women with "wolves blood" (so to speak).

She is worse than Arya, Arya at least was always a nice person which Elenei isn't by default. But I suppose it would be possible.

A smelly rose, eh?

Lannister, my column nears the capital. I delayed a full arrival, in case you were of mind to have some sort of greeting for them.

by **San Monteriano** » Mon Sep 23, 2013 1:05 pm

I'm glad to see this still going, we've outlived many other Game of Thrones role plays!

I'll be absent for the foreseeable future unfortunately, but will be here to make the odd few posts now and then.

Writer's block has struck once more, I probably write too much (really kills your creativity), but... Give me a few days and I should be posting again

Know the feeling. I had been struggling with a post for a long time when finally yesterday I spent two hours finally getting it done; only to have my computer delete the whole thing just as I was trying to save the whole thing. :palm:

Certainly, though a bit slow at the moment. There are also positions open if you are interested?

I am interested. Is house Hightower still open?
