For posterity's sake, here was what I planned for the game. [hider=Post Draft for this Game] [b][i]Princess Reshem mo Grazdan - Astapor[/i][/b] Astapor, city of the Good Masters, was large in scale, dotted with great pyramids of red brick where food was grown. As Princess Reshem and her flotilla, now transformed from an invading force into a diplomatic embassy, docked at the shore of the city's harbor, having sent word of their coming and rich gifts of treasure beforehand, the female admiral still did not know what their reception would be. For all they knew, the cheering crowds at the piers could be fake, and perhaps were. Nevertheless, the formalities were observed as the Good Masters' envoys greeted Princess Reshem with a larger escort of Unsullied than normal. "Greetings, Princess Reshem mo Grazdan, Admiral of New Ghis," the chief envoy - No one the Princess knew - said with honeyed, false words. "Your beauty knows no bounds, as was the skill with which you destroyed the Navy of Yunkai." Princess Reshem gave a smile just as fake, before she said back, "Thank you for your kind words. New Ghis brings gifts aplenty to thank one for such courtesy and goodwill." The smile turned thinner, "Yunkai had hoarded its wealth long enough. Now, I have been given word that a banquet is to be given in our honor, so that we can meet with the Good Masters? I look forward to meeting my aunt and uncle once more." A reminder that King Grazdan had married his sister to one of them, thus gaining influence over the city and gain access to the Unsullied. For a brief moment, Pricness Reshem wondered whether plans were being made to dispose of her aunt and her husband, and came to the conclusion that they were and thus she had to act faster than they could. So it was good news to her that the chief envoy of Astapor nodded and replied in the affirmative, "Master Zhodas no Que and his Lady are in good health, and are in... Joyous anticipation of seeing you." With the implication that he himself was not, Princess Reshem got the implication. Nevertheless, she swallowed her disgust and said, "Perfect. Guide us to the Feast." ------- Her own Unsullied guards, mixed with men from New Ghis' Iron Legions, formed the Princess' security detail as she entered the feasting hall of the Red Pyramid of Astapor. There, mountains of food and drink, including cakes in the shape of the red pyramids of Astapor, were already being served. Pleasantries were had, but the Princess just barely held her temper through them. When the head of the Good Masters was ready to discuss things with her, the Princess held back the urge to be blunt, and said to the ruler of Astapor, "And now, for our business. We wish to purchase more of the Unsullied for the need of keeping order in New Ghis." The Chief Master, whose face Princess Reshem purposefully forgot due to his unimportance in the greater scheme of things, then responded, "How many, and with what payment?" [i]Now[/i] was the time to be blunt. "All of them. And all the boys in training, too. And as for payment, the treasure of Yunkai is loaded on our ships, guided by our legion of men. We can and will pay for the expenses." The Princess-Admiral made sure not to show her true intentions, although her Aunt and Uncle-by-marriage knew what she had planned. For once the purchase was finalized, [i]they[/i] would be the masters of Astapor - Not as independent rulers but as extensions of the Reunified Empire of New Ghis!
