When: Septeril 1st, late evening
Where: The Sly Seadog
What: Planning
Warnings: Who the eff knows



[ It was getting late in the evening, but it was crucial to meet up. Daenerys – with the help of some more technologically savvy people – offered invitations to anyone who seemed interested in the affair with Dorchacht.

They meet at the Sly Seadog: a run-down little dive of a tavern, found along a narrow back-alley in the harbour, frequented by sailors, welcoming to Monsters and humans alike. The crowd is dense for this early in the "night", but still a few drunkards pawning off their last bit of money for a little bit more booze.

It was not up to a standard she would prefer, but it's something and it's relatively quiet. Three long tables can fit enough people for their meeting – and there's some standing room at the bar. Time to get down to business, right?

Feel free to top level, make points, argue, etc. ]

[ Dany wishes to gain council, advice from those who have been here longer or have further experience in such things. Her magic, the one that prevented her from turning to ash as she laid in Khal Drogo's funeral pyre? It was nothing special here. Not at all. ]

An admirable view, if I may say. However... not many would agree. [ +1 for Dany on burning them all, but... it takes her a little bit to realize they have a choice. Jorah had ensured there needed to be reason to forgive and allow the path to the future to have less blood and fire than their past. ] War is not our endgoal. It should not be theirs as well. They've lived comfortably in their city with their ways, they invite us and believe they to have the advantage. We are putting ourselves at risk, but I would like to hope we are not walking into a slaughter.

That would be why people like myself need to go along with the diplomats. To defend against a potential attack. Or potentially taking hostages.

[Now, Chandra realizes that she doesn't have access to her full power, she isn't so foolish as that.]

By making ourselves a less tempting target, we're more likely to dissuade such an attempt. Even if there is no way we'll win, having some sorts of bodyguards hidden among the envoys will be more likely to prevent that.

Like a thorn on a plant. Yes...you can take the fruit, but is it worth it if you'll get scratched badly?
