GM Xan Nes- Song of Ice and Fire Back from the Dead (Inactive)

So I may have to possibly Adjust down to a Status 3 as a possible Heir (I didn't want to spend a Destiny point on it...it seems something that should be roleplay reward not a forced thing. If I win against a family member so be it, if I fail. I deserve to be second best).

But otherwise the character should be reasonable. Oh for the love of potatos..I forgot Language >.<. Can it just be 3 for free. I feel reading is something every PC should be able to do >.<

Agreed. Unless they choose otherwise

You are a Saint sir, Don't let any of my later b++*+ing say otherwise. (Doesn't b!%~# often, may if rolls are just flubbing terrible)

Oh we get Language 3 for free?! O_o

I am a saint here. Mainly because I have murdered players I'm games, even ones not designed for character death. So I hope you are ready for a challenging campaign. One last thing, I feel like this should be said but this is more or less a parallel universe. All history up to now is the same but if you want to challenge the throne for example go right ahead. Good luck. If it is a realistic goal go right ahead. I enjoy when players are creative. Though I will respond in kind :)

Hmm...Blackbury? (It's a combination of one of the settlements of the Reach and a House's name, so it at least makes sense and with the extremely fertile lands of the Reach, it would not be surprising to found a House out of a major export like Blackberry Wine!)

Hmmm... Makes me think of the phone. But I can see it. Although, bringing up the Reach reminded me. Do you want to leave the House in the River lands or move it?

I think the GM said we are in the Reach now.

House Blackbury does have a ring to it, though I do wonder how the Ascent factor in the Houses foundation effects it.

Hmmm... Makes me think of the phone. But I can see it. Although, bringing up the Reach reminded me. Do you want to leave the House in the River lands or move it?

Gave it a final roll for simplicity sake and it came up the Reach.

Brydan Blackbury....that sounds like a lovely name. I might even have enough fighting to have been a Knight this time O.o

Trading out Endurance from a 2 to a 3 and Warfare from a 3 to a 2...Realised I'd die so easy it'd not be funny otherwise.

Oh! I missed that! XD

I'm totally okay with the Reach, Athera would enjoy it there much more then the Riverlands. After all she is from Dorne which is rather warm and the Riverlands can get very cold...The Reach however, she'll enjoy it there, with everything so Green.

Hey, how old is Brydan?

Should we wait for everyone to have their character concepts and such before rolling for wealth of individual characters?

I am going to go with either 23 or 27...I haven't really decided. He is unmarried so I lean towards 23.

Yes let's get the character concepts all set.

Would it really effect the coin roll for our own characters?

I gave Athera the ward drawback. Since we're starting at 200 AC, Dorne has only been apart of the Seven Kingdoms for 13 years. She's (depending on the season we're starting in) 18-19. So congrads! You most likely grew up around her... or well she grew up around you... However that works.

It can for some character. For instance I may not be able to be Status 4 depending on the status of the lord.

But I believe as a Ward yours is not dependant on our House's as it just depends on House Dayne's status.

Wonderful ^^, he probably flirts with you if that's alright. I plan on playing a flirty character who hopefully doesn't fall for the first woman he sees...like Darne did >.> (Not my fault, he knows the game...super advantageous moment)

Also good, I didn't take the Haughty Flaw which means I can actually be nice to whomever I want!

Good point.

No it is not, It does depend on House Dayne.

...Would this be a bad time to point out she has the Attractive quality and... well there is a picture above the Avatar again.

My thoughts on it aswell. Athera can roll wealth but for those with the House name in mind (non wards) they should wait on the Lord.

Wealth!: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 6, 5) = 22

O_O.... 22 Gold dragons... Well it seems Athera is not only pretty but wealthy as well! XD

Mmmm....I wanna take Attractive I forgot about that one. Ugh, that would only leave me with 1 Destiny Point to use/Burn....Ugh, but I kept kicking my own ass for not having it last game.

One is all you need... most of the time...

Ugh, fine...I'mma take it. It hurts me inside but I MUST BE PERDY

I'm here, hold the applause!

Just dotting. Will do a read over what we have so far in a moment.

Thanks GM!

Ohh this is going to be a fun group isn't it :p.

Roll your event quickly!!! So we can finish up the House standing!!!!!

I'm getting a sand steed! XD All be Jell! ^_^

I'm here, hold the applause!

Just dotting. Will do a read over what we have so far in a moment.

Thanks GM!

No problem.

I cant find the list of events but... 3d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 4) = 8

Okay so what kind of characters do we have already? Two pretty ones and a bruiser?

Oooh! Found it. Scandal.

Mwahahahah Dibs!

Alright. Give me a second

Aww... it isn't as good as I thought.

Yeah this is for the House we're making, not for your character. That one is further up! XD

Hmm okay well then that sucks.

Okay on to the House standing. If no one objects I may make a Lord.

Are you wanting Lord of this House we are making? or a Lordling like what I'm likely making?

Are you Brydan's father or older brother? Or uncle again?

Alright the 8 was scandal. So here are the final stats.

Defence= 20
influence: 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 - 1d6 + 35 ⇒ (6) + (6) + (5) + (3) - (6) + 35 = 49
Lands: 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 - 1d6 + 30 ⇒ (3) + (4) + (6) - (2) + 30 = 41
Law: 1d6 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21
Population= 32
Power: 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 - 1d6 + 27 ⇒ (1) + (4) + (6) + (6) - (4) + 27 = 40
Wealth: 31 + 1d6 ⇒ 31 + (4) = 35

I think I would like to be the Lord of the House. I'd like to try it on for size, if no one has any objections.

And older brother maybe? Perhaps it could be a shared responsibility. If one of us turns out more martial we can cover the fighting and the other can cover the speaking?

Max Lord Status is 5.

Which means DarkestHeart needs Status 5?

Yes.

Oh good. Well this is how I look so far. (Assuming I have done it right.

Agility 3
Animal Handling 2
Athletics 3 (Strength +1D)
Awareness 3
Cunning 2
Deception 2
Endurance 3 (Resilience +1D)
Fighting 4 (Axes +1D / Spears +1D)
Healing 2
Language 3
Knowledge 3 (Education +1D)
Marksmanship 1
Persuasion 3
Status 5 (Reputation +1D / Stewardship +2D)
Stealth 2
Survival 2
Thievery 2
Warfare 4
Will 4

Yeppers which means he's gonna wanna be at least Middle Age.

Hmm, that'd be an interesting setup but we're part of the typical class. So I'm not sure how our House setup will be. If you want to be Lord you're gonna be paying out the booty for that Status 5.

Also! You need to figure out if you're married or not. Because that is a big deal being the Lord and all.

That doesn't look too bad.

I think you have 10xp leftover as he is giving PCs Language 3 for free, yes?

Oh yeah! I keep forgetting about that.

Maybe up Healing?

Yeah that 10 XP is a nice bonus to you all. Should be fun seeing how this turns out.

Begins to plot his brother's demise

And I might not use them but...

2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7 "You achieved a significant deed, maybe saving the life of your lord, killed a giant boar, and so on."

2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12 Good

2d6 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9 Peace

2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3 Courageous

2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6 Cruel

Hmmm... Everything but the last one is. I'll figure my Vice out after.

Hmmm... I am not married. That is our first quest. Get me hitched! :P

OOoh 10Xp left over...? Hmmm.... Probably healing yeah.

Also I'm happy we're in the Reach... but my character may not be. The Daynes where very well known for raiding the Reach. They even sacked Old Town.

So handing over Athera to the Blackbury family as a ward was most likely a sign of peace with the marriage of Daenerys Targaryen to Maron Martell. Kind of a "We wont raid your lands any more and if we do you can kill our second born child". Yes I have settled on Athera is the second eldest of her siblings.

Edit:

Darkest, How you feeling bout House Blackbury?

Also given that we are Related are you cool with Blood of the Anders or would you prefer a different Destiny. I'm cool with it or the Blood of the Valyria but I did the other last time.

Athera that is good. Honestly I am surprised at the amount of work that got done today. Thank you guys.
