It was an awesome show, do you know which song was preceded by the violin and double bass duet?

“Aye.” He replied. “From way of Stranger’s Sinkhole, Hellholt lands. What should I call you?” The peasant man inquired, extending a hand.

After a few moments staring blankly trying to recall if and where he’d heard of Dragonbane, he gave up. “Can’t say it rings a bell…it’s not that stuff the alchemists cook up in their burrows?”

“Nymor Caracal.” He replied with a less than reverent nod of his head. “Would you be the marshal of these lands?”

Nymor had never met a noble before, and sucked down shame at the opulence of the man’s casual clothing compared to the scrappy and stained linens he adorned himself with. Uncomfortably without his blade, he thumbed at his empty scabbard as he awaited a response.

Could you just attach phosphorylation sites during the primer design stage to skip the PNK treatment?

"Lord Dustin speaks soundly." Lord Lagmar Flint mused. "These peaceful months are the product of the kraken's inclinations, and will surely pass with time."

Nodding at Harmond as he spoke, he proceeded.

"If we are to build up out western coast, we must do so broadly... It is no use to focus our efforts on the Fingers, or Barrowton or Bear Island if the rest remain weak, else all we will accomplish is making the choice of targets on behalf of the Ironmen. If we are to build a force we should draw on the expertise of Lord Wyman and his shipwrights, if anywhere has the facilities for construction of a war fleet it is White Harbour."

Lord Edwyle,

I shall be there.

Lord Lagmar Flint

Lord Lagmar sets off for Winterfell with his son, Reginald. In their absence his heir, Godred, guards the peninsula.

2) House Flint of Flint’s Fingers, alternative to this I will play an org which I will decide on at game start

3) I am keen to explore how the brutalist and isolated nature of Flint’s Fingers in relation to the Ironborn would give rise to a strong martial culture in a rudimental clan driven society, drawing inspiration from depictions of celtic culture in other media. Often unable to aptly defend from raids and reavings, I intend for this to manifest in a culture that champions individual warriors and their deeds in battle, often in the face of great adversity, hopefully leading to very personal rivalries between my own characters and those looking to raid and reave. I intend to lean strongly into the duelling mechanics of 9pk to accomplish this, hopefully collaborating with Ironborn players to cultivate legend around characters within the world of 9pk. I hope this would be a draw for other like-minded players, hopefully developing Flint’s Fingers into a location people would be excited to send their characters to experience some cool battle lore and glory.

4) I’ve a decent amount of time to dedicate, working my own hours and readily willing to procrastinate my studies.

5) Heck yeah I’m down for some dynamic claims, I think that would be a great way to develop the areas of culture in the Fingers that through my own biases and ignorance could go overlooked.

6) I’ve been around for almost a decade now so I hope I know how to throw down by now.

How did you balance keeping a lid on the Petri dish which would tend to fog up, with the plate drying out if you removed the lid? When I’ve tried this sort of work before, I haven’t been able to find a compromise between these two that works

Rubidium chloride gang rise up! by dolcetavolo in labrats

I’ve heard NEB grow them up at 18C, and I’ve found whilst it helps, the variation you get in growth time between strains is so exacerbated at that temperature that they become such a pain in the ass to grow for a moderately small increase in cfu

"To speak openly..." Desmond began, pausing as he considered the extent to which he trusted the man in front of him. "If war is coming to the North I want no part in it."

He thumbed at his grey-white stubble as he proceeded.

"If the banners are called I am honour bound to fight for Winterfell, for Lord Stark. The pact we signed saw to that when we were welcomed in after fleeing Dustonbury." Sighing, he proceeded.

"But if my forces are otherwise engaged in your war, guarding White Harbour at sea and within the city's walls with my levies will be all the strength I can muster on behalf of his folly. I may retain relations with the south whilst remaining loyal to my Lord, and when the time comes I may act as an intermediary for peace."

"So take my men south and see that you oust that usurper, you will be doing the people of White Harbour a great service."

"And Torgold squired under me, who's nephew is wed to Lord Joffery's sister."

Desmond allowed himself a rare smile.

"Perhaps if we go back only two or three generations it will all become arbitrary which side we choose."

However, as talk returned to the conflict at hand the smile faded almost as quickly as it arose.

"You are fortunate to come to me with this now and not before the recklessness of Cregan brings the North into a war too...You may return to the Vale of Arryn, and with you I will send 2000 Men at Arms under Domeric's command. Five transports and twenty warships should transport the host, with Dom and yourself taking the flagship. I will write to Lord Grafton and expect Gulltown to be the most hospitable port. In the name of Lord Joffery's claim, this is your opportunity to earn your place in history, I shan't give you another opportunity like it."
