It seems we will got to war with the Ironborn, here is the place where we can plot and do stuff.
We currently have I belive over 20k troops around Lannisport and Casterly Rock, not counting the other 30k I can call up should we need it. I think (Pm'd smith) since I upped out navy in a scene we have a decent one, but we still are no match for the ironborn, so we need to up our seaboard defenses.

Actually, I sent a following scenario to Smith today:
"The war situation demands my attention. As I cannot be with Eleana all the time, I demand that your best men watch her every step, if Lord Regent didn`t make the situation clear already. And tell your men that if anything happens to here, they are death! Understood?!" -Young Lannister`s gaze didn`t leave any room for doubt.
"Yes, of course..... she will be the best protected person in the West." -Casterly Rock Captain of the Guard assured Marten, seeing his fervor.
"Excellent. I have to join my cousin`s war council and I want to see the effects after I return."
Marten`s thoughts were racing as he went to Randall`s war chamber. Eleana`s feelings were hurt, but he was on the good path to earn her forgiveness. After all, it was because of defending her that his House went to war. And many people frowned at Marten`s decision. He wondered how his father would react.... nevermind, he had to focus. If only he could make some reasonable deal with that stubborn Morax....
"The situation isn`t easy. We are facing a ruthless enemy, with superior naval power, but one that cannot field as many soldiers as we. I am not naval warfare expet but obviously, we cannot face them in full-scale see battle, am I right, Admiral?" -Marten spoke later, at the war meeting.
Admiral Marbrand nodded. "Directly engaging their full fleet would end in disaster, most likely."
"Therefore, we need to focus on defending our coast. It seems that all major strongholds are being fortified, thanks to our Regent wasting no time." -He smiled at Randall.
"We need tactics that would force Ironborn to fight on ground, we should have a significant force in each stronghold near the coast, and rest of the forces prepared as the reinforcements. But of course, we need to be able to strike back, and for this we need support of the Realm. " -He pauses, scratching his beard.
"Cousin, have you contacted Emelia Martell yet? She seems to be preparing her fleet."
Results: Marten`s Strategy improves to Noteworthy, and Intrigue to Apprentice.
Lannister forces are prepared to face the attacks of enemy with superior naval force as best as it is possible.( Together with Randall`s scenario).

Randal nods, "I have not contacted Dorne yet, and even if I did, I doubt I could get a clear response out of her. But I have some new information, our navy." He nods to Marbrand, "Is more than four times the size it was during the war with the Reach. We are still at a disadvantage, but our fleet now equals the force the Ironborn used to take the Shield Islands."

"We have increased our Navy 4 times?!" -Marten is stunned.

"Yes cousin, we now boast ninety ships to our fleet, instead of a mere twenty."

"Still, Ironborn outnumber us significantly. We need the support of the Realm to win."

"Which we should have, I am waiting on a response from the Hand, but all signs seem good."

Well, Elaeana is now not an issue, although I have no clue who did it...

OOC or IC?
So no reason for war, then.

So we can avoid the war now?
Of course, Marten will want revenge IC, so this is a diferent topic.
