Author's note: Sorry it took a while guys but here is the next chapter. Jack's avatar has a new system to deal with and I've decided it will be the system I use from now on. Its more fun to write. As for the bandits and other enemies, I'll only wright in the rolls form now one when the opponent it much stronger.
Review and tell me what you think.
The crew were celebrating drinking strong drinks they found below deck on the iron born vessel. Jack looked up from the crow's nest at the massive curtain of stars. They were brighter than his memories of earth. Though not as bright as they are in space itself. "We are space dust billions of years old. From dust we are made and to dust we will return." He mouthed the words feeling the wisdom within. "We exist for such a short time in the universe a god snaps their fingers and we cease to be." He had lived many lifetimes now and he couldn't shake the feeling that he had been lucky. If he hadn't become a dungeon core more than likely some Abrahamic god would have devoured his soul upon death. They're turn would come as well.
Ultimately his companions, golems, and dungeon were a means to an end. Whether it was to keep him sane, increase his power, or bring him closer to his journey they were pieces on a board. Even the body he wore was just another piece. Jack wanted to escape his mortality even after hundreds of years of existence the thought of dying terrified him. He needed to kill more to increase his power.

Roll Initiative:
Jack 10 + 40 + 5 = 55
Faceless Man 4 + 10 = 14
He leapt away from a dagger in the dark, in the light of the moon he saw the face of the captain. Jack raises his hand and casts gravity. While the faceless man charged him to either force him over the edge of the crow's neck and onto the hard deck below or into the harsh unforgiving sea.
Roll Initiative:
Jack 8 + 40 + 5 = 53
Faceless Man = 6
Jack stumbled at first, but as the edge of the crow's neck touched his back hill his enhanced senses came to life. Time slowed to an insane level and he unleashed his spell before the man could reach him.
The spell exploded outward yanking the faceless man off his feet and into the unwelcome embrace of a singularity. Jack watched the faceless man's expression turn from indifference to fear as the force snapped his arms and legs so hard the bones snapped. Pain covered the man's face as his face morphed into that of a much younger man. A fire ball appeared in Jack's hand.
As casually as throwing a foot ball Jack tossed the explosive spell in the man's face.
Damage Roll
Fire Damage 13 + 100, 3 + 100 = 216
The faceless man's corpse was hit by one mighty fireball and with a bit less explosive power than normal. Backed by Jack's powerful intellect explosive power made little difference. It still exploded with the force of two sticks of TNT. Pieces of the faceless man went every where showering some of the deck and the sails. It was fortunate that the singularity was created far away from the sails.
Many of the crew jumped awake and ran out of their cabins. Jack felt the soul of the faceless man enter him another spark of power stolen from the red gods. He grew comfortable in the crows neck once more Lannisport was up ahead.

The sun rose just as their ship finally made land and it was a lovely port. He would never forget seeing it for the first time. A castle high on a rock overlooked the port town around it. People worked trading and carrying supplies. For a while he thought, he could do this just walk through this place and go on to kings landing then the North.
No, the second Jack stepped off the ship all eyes were locked on him. Girls, women and even some men let their eyes linger on him for too long. He knew it was his face Samson's masterpiece. Jack was a beautiful man and all those who looked at him knew it.
Women of higher birth grouped together and followed his path through the port. At each stop they giggled before he continued his way. With no money he really couldn't get souvenirs. He was confident they wouldn't try anything with him. Their virginities were property of their houses after all. Some of the women of less noble birth looked at him with less restriction. One even went as far as to pull down her top. Jack saw pink nipples but felt nothing. The perks of having a golem body.
He made his way away from the port town and to the wide road. A sign said golden road, it was a coble stone road that would lead him to king's landing. "Hello lad you seem like a responsible fellow." Jack turned to see a grizzled man in expensive looking cloths.
"If you're offering work, I wouldn't decline. Nothing illegal I hope." Jack said. The man nodded his head and one of his guards stepped forward.
"We're one guard short one of my boys took ill to some shellfish and died. I see you have an axe but no shield or armor. We're willing to pay you for your time as a guard and outfit you with some leather armor. What say you?" The man asked and held out his hand. "I'm Joel Waters." Jack clasped the man's hand.
"I'm Jack and if your heading to king's landing then sure I'll go with you."
Hyperion
Every step forward was met by a step back. New regulations from the Pentosi Magister council have went through forbidding the sell of religious products. The long irons he had begun building had to be put on hold because the damn Magisters refused to play ball. So, he had to come to a decision.
If he couldn't sell products, then perhaps he could sell protection. His artificial mind worked over his problem quickly turning it over in his head. They had more than enough manpower and weapons why not change course as it were.
He pulled piece of parchment from his many rolls and began designing a ship one that could truly harbor his long iron canons. "Sir there is a Magister Fafnir here to see you." One of Jack's worshipers said.
"Send him in, I'm nearly done." To be blunt he hated the idea of turning on the people but if they wanted to flex their muscles then he would do the same.
The door opened revealing the man dressed in red robes. He was flanked by two body guards. Neither of them looked up to a fight. A pity, Hyperion could use some stress relief.
"I'm sorry my friend I did everything I could." Fafnir said. Hyperion's spies managed to witness the discussion and vote.
"Yes, my friend I'm sure you did. But don't worry, there are more ways to make coin than trade. My order will keep all their weapons to themselves no good or product shall leave my order's hands. I've already written it as religious mandate." Hyperion said.
"That isn't necessary I've come to make a deal with you. The council will allow me to work as a middle man to sell your products. But I could only get you ten percent of the sale the rest will unfortunately have to go to Pentos. Hopefully it will pay for the materials at least." Fafnir said.
He was curious, would the little man make a slip up. "That won't be necessary. We have already found a way around the law. I'll let it be a surprise." Hyperion said. The man looked troubled by Hyperion's declaration.
"Now see here I'm a magister of Pentos any actions your religion commits will be under my supervision. I must know well in advance what you plan or else I can't help you. Let me into your plans." Fafnir demanded.
"No, I don't believe I will. You're no longer welcome here leave these premises. Go away and never return." The man ground his teeth but left. Hyperion continued to design his ship.
Daenerys
She was growing taller now and when she felt at her head there were small nubs growing. What was happening to her? After she mated with Drago, she returned in her bed filled with gold. The dragon eggs cradled in her arms.
Sometimes when she dreamed, she was a massive red dragon the horses below her cowered or burned. When she was hungry, she ate a stag, a lion, and a wolf. It was only when she turned upward to the massive floating darkness, she blew her flames, but they did nothing. She flew after the creature but no matter how high she flew it was always out of her reach. Then she woke up in her pile of gold and feel for the presence of her god Jack. As always, he was amused with her but said nothing.
It was a game between them who would crack first. Dany refused to ask him what was going on with her and he refused to speak unless she asked the right questions. It was a game of wills and she wasn't certain she was winning anymore. Lucy opened the door to her tent and Dany growled under her breath at the woman before clearing her throat.
"Good morning Lucy may I ask why you are here." Dany asked.
"I've grown bored of fucking Jorah, so I've decided to bother you. It's a new day Dany have you put any thought on what you will name him." Lucy said. She seemed all to happy to bother Daenerys.
"Rhaego," she said and looked at Lucy the being before her moved fluidly easily carrying the claymore on her back. She seemed eager for something. That was when Viserys burst in the room.
"You fucking wench why aren't we marching on Westeros already. I've waited and waited but we are no closer now than we were days ago. And you, you said there would be ships to transport my army, where are they?" Viserys asked.
"They are still being built and outfitted with the best armor and weapons the faith can create. From what I've been told it's the Magisters in Pentos. They fear the speed the order is developing they've put into place bans on the selling of our religious goods. As they call them. So, we wait and circle Essos until we can get Pentos in order. Once the ships are ready then everything falls into place. We have the army all we need are the ships now." Viserys seemed to calm down at that.
"So, nothing can be done we must wait and relax then. Viserys said. "Deer sister would you like to break your fast with me. Perhaps if the mood strikes me, I will sing one of Rhaegar's songs." Viserys said.
Dany blinked at the sudden 180 from her brother. "Is he alright she whispered to Lucy?"
"From the way I see it. He's spent his whole life trying to live up to your father's name and for the first time all the ducks are in a row and he's hopeful. I think he is terrified of being the disappointment the last gasp of the Targaryen line." Lucy said.
Dany nodded and for the first time felt like she was getting to know her real brother. Under the madness was a boy who just wanted to make their ancestors proud. That pressure had become too much for him and it made him cruel. She also noticed something else. Around his neck was an amulet of a three headed white dragon with a black speck in its heart. The same as hers.
Jack
This trip alone was going to earn him 10 silver not a lot of money sure unless you were a nobody in a strange land. Jack just happened to be a nobody. One who was charged with staying up all night on every third day to ensure no one killed them in their sleep. Such was his lot in life.
"Jack how's the mare doing. I heard she was a temperamental sort." Joel asked. The guard captain said. His mare Long Trot was a bit skittish. Tonight, was his second night keeping watch. And for some reason Joel wouldn't shut up.
"She's alright." Jack said trying to remain vigilant.
Detect Sneak:
Jack 2, 2, 13
Bandit Archer 18, 12, 15
He didn't hear the creeping of a lightly armored man, the man's feet scrap against rocks, or the man drawing back his bow. An arrow fired and slammed dead in Jack's chest.
Arrow 1d10
Roll
2 x 2 sneak – 1 armor =3
Despite how unexpected the arrow had been it was fired by a warn down bow of a bandit. This bandit failed to take care of his equipment and so Jack suffered only minor damage. He ripped the arrow out of his chest and pulled his axe from its holster.
Search Check
Bandit Archer Agility 8 Sneak is 1D20
Jack Perception is 20 with search being 1d10
Roll
Jack 10 + 20 = 30
Bandit Archer 15 + 8 = 23
Jack not only spotted the bandit, but he rushed for him.
Initiative
Jack 16 + 40 + 5 = 61
Bandit 5 + 8 + 4 = 17
Jack dashes in front of the bandit before he can react and swings his axe. Looking deep in the man's fearful eyes. There is no hope only fear left in the man after seeing Jack move in for the kill.
Roll 2D6
Axe 4 + 3 + 20 + 5 = 32 – 5 armor = 27
His strength is greater than any normal human's and he's found the hardest part of his foe's armor. Yet despite hitting the worst spot possible there is so much force behind the blow that it shreds through the thick leather armor the bandit wore. The guts of his attacker are pulverized just as the other three bandits get to him.
Jack turned to the approaching men one throws a knife.
Initiative to catch knife 15 or higher
Roll
7 + 40 + 5 = 52
Once again Jack barely moves only for his system to enhance his movement speed. The knife seems to slow to a stand still while Jack plucks it from the air. He then tosses it back at the nearest Bandit.
Accuracy roll needed 30 or higher
Roll
Jack 23
At first it seems like Jack may kill one of the bandits with his own knife, only for it veers off at the last second. He heard it strike a nearby tree with a solid clang.
Initiative
Bandit 1 11 + 4 + 7 = 22
Bandit 2 13 + 4 + 6 = 23
Jack 11 + 40 + 5 = 56
Not only was Jack faster than either of the bandits but he was faster than both combined. He moved like lightning striking the first one with his axe.
Roll
2D6 +20 + 5
4 + 5 + 20 + 5 = 35 – 5 armor = 30 damage
Jack's axe came down on the man's head with such force that the helmet dented all the way through and shattered the Bandits skull. As the Bandit's brain swelled, he fell, and Jack turned to the last bandit. A man wearing chain mail with his leather armor. The man was just raising his shield to block when Jack's axe was upon him.
Roll
2D6 + 20 + 5
4 + 1 + 20 + 5 31 – 7 armor = 24 damage
The shield didn't make it up in time. Jack's axe bit into the chain mail lining the bandit's neck. It seemed like it might hold for but a second before his axe finally cut through. Blood splattered the nearby trees as axe met flesh, sinew, and bone. His axe buried itself deep and the man quickly bled out.
Search Corpses
Roll 3D100
0-25 minor gear
25-50 some coins and some minor gear
50-75 A well kept dagger or some intact armor and some coins
75-99 Their weapons were in better shape than you thought medium range of coins
100 A long lost artefact, obsidian, lots of coins.
Jack 71, 14, 45 luck +20
Jack 91, 34, 65
It didn't take Jack long while looting to notice the bandits Chain Mail boots. They were a thing of beauty despite the bandit's ruff appearance. Jack took them and put them on, and they fit perfectly. On the other bandit he found a silver coin, and on the last a single gold Stag.
Joel searched one of the bandits to find a note. "It seems they were just scouting a part of a much larger group here on the golden road. We had better be careful." Joel said.
