The Northern Banter Thread

[Ollie]

I think he meant you

[Lord Rhaegar Targaryen]

I know, but when I read it, I thought of Roose. Anyways, Olenna is preggo.

[Lord Rhaegar Targaryen]

Lord Stark,

As you know Moat Cailin is far into the North. I ask if we can meet closer, perhaps at The Twins? Should I stray too far from the Riverlands, King Rodrick or Seagard may take advantage and attack. I fear what would happen if I am not here to handle their possible attacks.

Lord Pieter Tully

[Lord Rhaegar Targaryen]

What should I say?

[Ollie]

Hmm. Meeting with him? What is your goal? I think we might leave his death in the hands of terrence?

[Lord Rhaegar Targaryen]

If Terrence can do it.

[Ollie]

I'll ask him about it.

[westerosi]

So how do you want us to play this?

Scenario wise? RP-wise?

[Lord Rhaegar Targaryen]

Play what? The mustering and movement of troops? You can RP/Scenario it. Whatever you want. Scenario will be quicker but RPing will give you something to do while we plot and position ourselves.

Reed, you wanna meet Tully at Moat Cailin or Twins? I think he'll be suspicious for Moat Cailin, but Twins would be more difficult.

[Ollie]

God damn, check out the Horned Wolf event. Smith always has to muck things up.

You think you could do a little speech song and dance routine in a scenario in attempts to wrench some northern support back in your hands? Maybe make a formal declaration? While you're doing that, I will handle Pieter.

[Lord Rhaegar Targaryen]

They're out to get you, but we'll stop it. Even if we were fighting for the King, they'll try to get us for seceding alone.

Hmm.... as much as I don't like it, we might have to quietly deal with Rickon.... (SMITH FORGET THIS IF YOU READ IT!). Anyways, Gariss considers him a friend, so will not take offensive action against him.

You go down and be with your people, and I'll begin to go around the north and the small towns, winning the poeple back. I'll even visit these little wilderness camps.

[Ollie]

Alright. Make sure you take some guards with you. Dominic Bolton (master) and Big Benn Umber (legendary) should both still be loyal, seeing as I'm the one who made dominic lord, and your wife(and queen) was the daughter of an umber.

[Lord Rhaegar Targaryen]

Alright. I've arranged protection of the North, though Bear Island, should they attack it, is inevitable.

Right now, at all times Umber and Brandon Cerwyn are with me at all times. Domeric Bolton, I think, I ordered to Deepwood Motte with myself, should they split attack, hitting Bear Islands and the north end of Moat Cailin.

If the do, Gariss and half his force will move down to attempt to intercept, while the other half stays and protects/tries to retake Bear Island.

I've written a letter to Cedric, hoping he can harass the Islands as an ally while their whole navy is up north.

I've boosted numbers, placed a hidden garrisson of 1000 in the Barrowlands under Lord Cerwyn, and wrote a scenario, getting back support that was lost from the people.

[Ollie]

I wrote a letter to cedric too. His reply:


Lord Reed

I have received word from your "King". Have you ever traveled to the Midnight Islands. They have a saying, "Monkey See, Monkey do."

Be careful that your monkey does not squirm out from under your thumb. A monkey in a crown is always put down, but sometimes his handlers can escape. A frog is wise.

This pending battle between the King and Tully is clearly the pivotal battle of this war. I think every thing resides on it. I truly wish it was a better man facing the King right now.

Eagerly awaiting your reply

Cedric

[Lord Rhaegar Targaryen]

So he doesn't accept me as a king. Its funny, cause the meeting that was held was announed and held at the same time if not before Cedric announced his kingship.

So no monkey seeing or doing happened at all. He's threatening me but saying he think's you're wiser. If he would deny us being allies, then he's stupid.

I find it kinda funny that Rickon wants your head, and Cedric wants mine.
