**Private message for the Smith.**
Unfortunately RL has interfered and I'm away for work for the next 3-4 days. Things can happen quickly in this game so just in case, this is a short summary of what my characters are doing in my absence.
4,000 men will continue to garrison Dragonstone on full alert. "Dragonstone is old and strong" and has the belching Dragonmont at the back of the castle, which hopefully adds to its defendability.
Avery will continue to build up food and water supplies within the castle.
50 warships patrol the local waters of Dragonstone under the command of Rhaegar Velaryon (Naval combat: Expert) and Ser Vortimer River. If attacked the Dragonstone fleet is to attempt to destroy the enemy transports and sink as many as possible with enemy soldiers in them.
The 4,000 defenders will defend the castle grimly, if attacked, inflicting as many casualties as possible. This many involve toppling the statues and gargoyles on the walls on the attackers as well as boiling oil, rocks and boulders and the like.
- If Dragonstone is attacked and looks likely to fall, the royal family and friends can escape via the cellar of the Sea Dragon Tower, through a hidden postern gate which is not far from the sea. A boat will be stationed there from where a small galley will be waiting in a hidden alcove, under the volcano. They will escape under the cover of night.
If the castle is entered by the enemy in force, Prince Avery himself will seek refuge in the heart of the Dragonmont via shafts and secret stairs leading from the citadel, known only to a few. Here, he and his knights will attempt to hide and sally forth in different parts of the citadel and island to surprise and destroy as many of the enemy as possible. If in Avery's opinion this resistance becomes hopeless he and any remaining followers will escape via the boat in the alcove under the cover of night
In the meantime, if Dragonstone is not attacked or raided:
- Ser Ameron Velaryon has returned to Dragonstone from Kings Landing. He is married to a junior Celtigar of Claw Island, so will infilitrate Claw Isle and agitiate on behalf of Prince Avery, along with the spies already sent, against the Dondarrions and the Barclays. Ameron says he is speaking on behalf of his wife's family, the Celtigars and promises the restoration of the Celtigar line.
- Avery continues wooing Lady Claera Waters, the 23 year old widow of Lord Emmon Barclay. He continues to send several letters asking for permission to call on her along with gifts. He wishes to keep this a secret from the King Landing court, the Barclays, Dondarrions and his mother Queen Elyssandra.
Thanks and cheers.
