The Roseroad

[Percy Rivers]

Callen looked at Andry with a strange look on his face, "A truce with Dondarrion?"

[The Smith]

"At least temporary. It would ensure our victory over Aedon at the very least. Do you feel a great need to shed blood, brother?"

[Percy Rivers]

"Dondarrion was the one responsible for our father's death. Yes Ser Kit did it, but would not have if Dondarrion hadn't ordered it. He was one of father's dearest friends, and yet in the end he pissed on that friendship. Have you forgotten that Andry?" Callen asked this with not anger in his eyes, but sadness.

[The Smith]

"There is no proof concerning that, brother. You speak blindly. You want to ride against Dondarrion? Do so yourself...it is foolish to bloody yourself against two kings." He turned to leave.

[Percy Rivers]

"Andry...wait, I spoke in my grief and sadness. And your my brother, I need you. I need my family. I will...consider your proposal, that doesn't mean I've accepted it, but I promise you I will consider it. Now as too the Targaryen dragon I've been thinking about what to do. We found a maester in the Stormlands whose been willing to help us. His name is Vinci Reed, he's a bit of an odd one, but he's very inventive. He's come up with something that may be able to kill the Targaryen beast." Vinci Reed who had been scribbling away in the corner suddenly piped up. "Ah yes my lords. I've been doing a bit of reaserch on dragons, and I've come up with something that might be able to wound him, if not kill him."

[The Smith]

Andry looked at Callen inquisitively.

[Percy Rivers]

Callen shrugged and gestured to Vinci, and mouthed "Don't ask me." Vinci continued, One of the only things tough enough to penetrate a dragons skin is Valyrian Steel, or so the tales tell. So I've created a repeating ballistae capable of firing this. From his grey robes Vinci produced a arrow head made of Valyrian Steel. There was just enough steel from the link in my chain to produce this."

[The Smith]

Andry almost laughed, "And how do you plan to create a repeating ballistae firing something that is considered nearly pricless."

[Percy Rivers]

Callen was suprised himself, "I thought you told me...Vinci, why would you build a repeating ballistae if you only have one? Vinci smiled, apparently pleased with himself. "Because although this is the only Valyrian Steel bolt, which is the only known material able to penetrate dragon skin, it's probable that dragonbone will also do the trick. From several accounts I've read during the Dance with Dragons the loyalist forces used the several bolts fashioned from the old bones of Balerion to bring down a dragon. Fortunately for you, there's an ample supply of dragon bone in King's Landing. Specifically the Red Keep.

[The Smith]

OOC: Haha, what??

Andry replied rather quickly, "I'm a bit skeptical about this, I won't lie, but I'm willing to see it done if it gives us a chance."

[Percy Rivers]

OOC: I'm going to change the last thing Vinci said, I just had a better idea.

[The Smith]

OOC: Regardless, Andry will probably have the same reaction.

[Percy Rivers]

OOC: There that will be more consitent story wise.

[Percy Rivers]

Callen looked from Andry to Vinci and back again and sighed. "And the only way into King's Landing is through Dondarrion. Andry, I may have to for go hanging our father's friend for a while and make common cause with him."

OOC: I changed the dragon bones thing to King's Landing. It makes more sense because we know there definately are dragon bones there. Plus some Dondarrion/Callen/Andry interaction would be fun.

[The Smith]

Andry nodded, appreciating his brother's approval of his plan.
