Adam fields purchasing 6000 unsullied

[warrior6]

Adam arrived at the large slave quarters of daario illyrious. it was almost like a small town itself. no more like a citadel or a fortress with no walls. huge structures with larger yards where men were whipped and the boys to become unsullied cut. 9 large buildings like this were constructed like this in a large circle and adam and daario stood in the middle of the circle on top of a modestly built tower that could oversee all 9 structures easily. it was discomforting to know that men would go to such efforts to build such things and use them to enslave eachother. slavery was a concept that would remain foreign to westeros and adam was glad. the building that caught his attention the most was the one in front of them and in that structure's yard stood 4000 unsullied with spear shield and armor. they stood in rows and columns facing them. they looked more like statues than men.

"our deal was 6000 you said... magister" spoke adam

"patience ser, the remaining two thousand will assemble any minute now"

he had spent the last hour inspecting the gear and discipline of the men. he even spoke to a couple and they had the strangest names. "Black Worm", "Large Maggot" and "Plagued Rat"

"so they really have no.... members?"

"its a tradition dating back to the first unsullied"

"barbaric is what it is"

Daario did not answer and paused to change the subject

"how can they fight if the have no balls?"

"you have seen their drills and training and physique ser. and i am sure the books your old maesters write speak well of them as do our histories."

just then a large group of unsullied approached the yard. they took their spots in their rows and columns behind the men that already stood. the men in front marched 3 steps forward. all 4000 of them at once so that the spacing between them all was equal, and then they raised their shields just below their face and brought down the bottom of their spears hard to the ground, all 6000 at once now. the thunderous noise this small action caused demonstrated organization and discipline that Adam had never seen before.

ser Balian, who was the captain of the 30 Ashford household knights that adam brought with him to essos, came with two other ashford knights. the two were carrying a large chest and dropped it in front of daario.

"the other 3 chests will come in the hour my lord. 100,000 gold dragons in all" said ser balian

daario opened the chest and his eyes opened as if they were going to jump from his face. the chest full of gold dragons seem to scare him just as much as it delighted him. he pulled out the contract scroll and scribbled his mark and signatures.

"they are yours now"

"good...i will make my announcement now....can they hear me from here? and do they understand the common tongue?"

"they can hear and the officers amongst them can translate"

Adam smiled. he would change these mens lives forever and he knew their loyalty to house ashford would increase because of it.

[Pinkie Pie]

OOc: I have already tried this only to be informed that the buying of Unsullied is a criminal offence and you will be executed should you return to the Kingdom regardless of if you free them or not. There are also no officers amongst the Unsullied.

[Trot]

ooc no one has to know about it if done in secrete and you want to take over somewhere

[Pinkie Pie]

OOC: This was clearly not a secret meeting, at no point does he mention any attempt at disguises or even false names.

[jakev2]

Spy roll: 5

The spy is captured and may be tortured for information.

From a nearby low building, a previously hidden man falls from the roof with a scream. He lands heavily on the floor, and is quickly set upon by the slaver's men, and dragged over.

[jakev2]

Another spy roll: 20

20 - The spy happens upon the jackpot, revealing all aspects of a hidden plan.

[warrior6]

OOC: does that mean that the initial spy was captured?

[M. Laveur]

ooc: Yeah, I'm not sure how interrogation works, I guess you rp it?

[Dirty Chai]

OOC: probably rolls to see if it works too.

[warrior6]

OOC: im gonna wait for javek to respond to that, in the meantime ill continue.


Adam decided not to postpone the announcement any longer. The incident with the spy had postponed things and Adam had brought the rest of his 30 household knights from the mercenary camp where he bought the elephants, here to the slaver compound. He also brought the 80 armored Ashford halberdiers to serve as his personal body guard. who knew if the man was a spy or an assassin and if there would be more. the man who had fallen was still unconscious and he prayed that he would rise from his slumber so adam could begin the torture that would reveal the mans intentions. In the mean time he read some bits and pieces on the unsullied and found it ironic that their name meant clean and pure and the unsullied had even been taught simple things about who they were going to serve, including the words of house Ashford... He had heard one of the unsullied say them in a ghiscari accent. for now, he now had to concentrate on what was in front of him. 6000 unsullied who stood in the same yard as previously. The scribes stood ready in front of the columns of unsullied as did some of the officers who understood the common tongue. ready to translate Adam's announcement. his best knights including Ser Balian stood beside him in the tower.

OOC:also i find that listening to this makes this scene a lot cooler.


The design of the compound raised the sound of his voice as he began to speak loudly in a pace that could speak to men's souls.

"You have known nothing but death and suffering and cruelty your whole lives"

"The finest soldiers in the world stand here." The scribes said his words back in ghiscari to them, the language of the unsullied. "...The finest soldiers in the world stand here, looked down upon as lower than dogs, dirt and vermin."

Adam's eyes scanned the columns and continued as the scribes finished translating.

"Today I can change that for you. I have paid your master your price and he is no master to you anymore. Neither am I." his words were translated to the unsullied furiously and continously as he spoke. " For the first time in your lives you have a real choice. To Break the chains that enslave you.To TAKE WHAT YOU DESERVE. You can Stay here as slaves and live a short meaningless life of !, or you can Follow me. Across the ocean to the lands of our free realm. Follow me to Westeros and make your names anew through the strengths of your backs and the blades of your spears... Follow me to Westeros and Serve house Ashford and Lord Jaykub Steelheart who bought you a better life. Follow me to Westeros and be paid and valued for being the soldiers you are meant to be. FOLLOW me to westeros and be treated with respect and dignity. Follow me to Westeros where you can be men of real destiny.FOLLOW ME!!...AND LEAVE THE WHIPS, FOLLOW ME AND LEAVE THE CHAINS, FOLLOW ME AND LEAVE THE SLAVERS. FOLLOW ME TO WESTEROS. FOLLOW ME AND BE FREE!!!" the translations finished a few seconds after he stopped speaking.

the unsullied did not budge and still stood motionless. It was quiet enough so that he could hear himself breathe. Adam unsheathed his sword and held it high over his head. a last attempt to rally a reaction out of them.

Ser Balian lifted the banner of house Ashford the wind letting it come to life with all its glory as Ser Balian waved the large banner side to side:



A row of unsullied began to bang the blades and shafts of their steel spears against their shields. the rest followed and the thundering sound of steel clashing against steel began to possess them all. their pace quickened and the noise threatened to drown them all. and then it stopped and the unsullied stood as things that used to be once men but became statues. Thunder errupted again, but this time it was 6000 voices. the sound seemingly unnaturally loud in the compound.

In Ghiscari they began "OBEY! STEELHEART! STEELHEART! OBEY! OBEY! OBEY!ASHFORD! ASHFORD! THESE ONES SHALL OBEY!"

"THE HI YAR ORDAR SHALL RAIN!!!"

[jakev2]

OOC: Yes, it's RP based mostly, but there may be some rolls involved, we'll have to check with GG.

IC: The man began to wake, a hand immediately going to his head, presumably where he hit it on the ground to knock himself out. He exclaimed at the pain, before opening his eyes and looking around, finding himself surrounded by foreign soldiers. He tried to stand up and run, but he managed little more than a crouch before collapsing again, still drowsy.

[Gandalfus]

OOC: you called?

[warrior6]

OOC: you called?

A spy was captured. Do we get interrogation rolls?

[Gandalfus]

OOC: yes.

[warrior6]

OOC: yes.

Ooc: ok lets roll

[warrior6]

Magister Daario's father must have spent a fortune constructing his own port. The port was a half day march from the slaver base. ships could dock and unload their supplies or slaves and return to fetch more. it was a more efficient system than going through the Pentos' official port where Daario's slavers would have to unload amongst 100s of other ships. Pentos' port was also a huge target for thieves and robbers.

The ships that Adam had brought with him for the journey and the ships lent by Daario had given Adam temporary control of more than 60 ships. Lord Allister of hightower had lent Adam 25 Oldtown warships and 15 merchant ships that were to be used as cargo ships. The mercenary noble in Pentos had also lent him 35 additional ships although these were all cargo ships.

The elephants had been loaded and so were the unsullied. Adam ordered the spy who was unconscious to be kept under a close eye and that he was to be taken to the ship that Adam was on. He could always torture him in the ships.

Adam could not wait to leave this this place that was an offense to the 7. he wanted to burn the entire slaver compound to the ground. the unsullied would have probably enjoyed that. He decided against it. a single burnt facility would do nothing to stop men from committing the blasphemy that they practised here. In the mean time, he would concentrate on his prisoner who he hoped would awake.

"My Lord, the captains have informed me that we are ready to depart" Ser Balian stated to him

"Give the captain the order to set sail Ser Balian. Westeros awaits"

Ser Balian gave the signal to the captain and men began to yell orders while others hanging from the top masts began to wave flags. the rest of the ships began to move out.

[Gandalfus]

The captive reveals the identity of his hirer, and survives. (roll: 20)
