Daenerys Targaryen | A Song of Ice and Fire

ONE FOR THE ROAD - TROUBLE AT SEA

The boat trip is going to be stressful for Dany, between checking on her current CR, keeping an eye on Drogon and helping out where she can. It's not her first harsh travel, so she won't be too grump. Boats also make her happy, but this is no ocean, so there are grumblings. She's not going to be carrying much beyond the standard fare.

She'll work to keep the candles going. I'm debating about having her fall overboard. I like the idea of the unrelenting cold. She could probably try and scramble back up, with some help that doesn't involve others jumping in. After that, she'll be pretty miserable.

She's not really going to share her name with the undead and she'll probably also to try to talk others out of it. She remembers this sort of thing from the House of the Undying. All undead things go off the boats.

AHOY, LAND

Oh gods do these suits do nothing for Dany aesthetically. She hates them. It'll be harder for her to move to control Drogon and handle a whip, so there might be some moments where she accidentally smacks herself or someone else or runs into someone.

She's mostly going to be exploring, though she'll help with basic tasks like replenishing the water supplies or cooking (expect a lot of charred meat). She might want an exploring buddy, so if someone wants to get into trouble, I'm open.


Drogon can't be on the ground for too long, so he's going off to make a lair in the ruins. Say goodbye to the dragon for awhile, he's hunting/roaming/exploring like the wild boi he is.

ELLETHIA-ALLAYAR

Dany won't have as much trouble with mermaids, as Drogon is going to be eating a few of them (you'll thank him later). But she can help if anyone else needs some talking to or a dragon to come rescue them.

I'm open to whatever here.

ELLETHIA-HAMSOUR

Dany wants to get to the lighthouse and will probably become more paranoid and possessive of it. At the same time, she'll understand that she's acting irrationally and probably have a mental breakdown where she worries she's becoming her father. So she'll be a big ball of stress, wanting to fight that paranoia and madness, but at the same time having trouble stopping the effect.

This will be a big psychological thing that could end up with her talking about her father a little and facing who and what he was more, which Book Dany has yet to fully do. Getting into conflict with others will also help fuel that crisis.

This is the one I want to lean into more heavily. So I'd genuinely love volunteers.

Anything else, feel free to ping me on plurk, discord or pm!

So Dany do you want to see someone not noticing their flesh is rotting?

or losing their candle because of course he will lose his candle?

[song_of_fire]

I'm definitely onboard. Is there one that you like best?

I like the idea of skin rotting.

[scrapgege]

skin rotting is fine! his top level is already up on the log if you'd like!

[song_of_fire]

Awesome! I'll hit it up!
