Hahaha! I'm going to have to beat the shit out of them all anyways!The Northman goes down like a sack of hammers and you turn to go after the Dornishman, you see him, but he's already gotten to the far side of the 20 knights left. You plow through, go around, or just leave him alone either you'll run into him again or someone else will take care of him?

Using your mount like a ram you plow right through the center of the mass of fighting horses and men. Soon you reach the other end. The Dornishman's eyes bug and he drops his arms, "I YEILD!" You might be able to get one cheap shot in without anyone noticing. Do you take it?Hahaha! I'm going to have to beat the shit out of them all anyways!

"RUN AWAY!" I roar at the top of my voice, loud enough so all can hear, pointing with the King's hammer.Brian Boru wrote:Using your mount like a ram you plow right through the center of the mass of fighting horses and men.

Then I return to the battle.
I will not take a cheap shot for its own sake.

There are only about 10 fighters left at this point, one of them being goddam Thoros of Myr with his Goddam flamming sword. He shouts and charges you when you ride back towards the fight. Your horse proceeds to freak at the fire.Then I return to the battle.

You ride to the royal booth and you receive your prize, another 2000 dragons. With that all that's left is festivities for the rest of the day and an invite to the ending feast. What do you do with yourself for the rest of the time, there are about 5 hours.

Like I said before, let's start with something relevant and likely to put local events into perspective - research on House Redfort and local history as it relates to that. I try to take a holistic approach, and if there are any trade records available, will attempt to show Mya how money and influence can relate. After that, if there's time, check where she is in regard to 'numbers' so I know what I'll have to start with there.Brian Boru wrote:She giggles and goes on to the library. While it isn't huge, it's a fairly well stocked place, what do you start with?
Actually, I grab her wrist before she can do that, restraining the hand holding the concoction. If gently. "And that is what, exactly?"The older woman looks at the man for a moment, then pulls something from the shelf, she turns to you "Help me lift him up."
You get his head up and she pours the concoction down his throat. "There he should be out for the rest of the day."
Because, I'm sorry, but while the way this guy went about his business was repugnant, there's a chance his grievance might have been legitimate and while medieval cultures usually have a 'beauty equals goodness' case of perception filter going, I _don't_. She knows what I intend to do, or what she thinks I intend to do - hand him off to the watch to sleep it off or just get him to conk down in an alley somewhere - and it won't necessarily fix the guy getting pissed and coming back, be it because he has reason or is genuinely mean. And she probably considers that, in me, she has an accomplice who has already implicated himself.
Or maybe I'm just really goddamn paranoid.
"Well, I'm a bastard and apparently my father gets around ..." shrug. "So you could say I have one of those faces."She then looks to you, her hair is a brilliant red with grey streaked here and there. Her eyes are sky blue and though she's certainly older most men would have to be dead or simply not interested in women to completely ignore her still full figure. Her daughter is all of these things without the signs of age. She's about maybe a year older than you and even if you're made out of stone you take a glance or two.
"This lunk was one of my customers, he had a condition and I gave him something that can normally help. It didn't and he wanted to complain about it to me. If you hadn't come in me and my daughter would be in a bit of trouble. You have my thanks. She then gets a closer look, you look familiar lad, have we met before?"
"So he has something of a legitimate grievance, even if he goes about it in something of a reprehensible way. It was probably too much to hope for that he'd obviously misapplied it or didn't bother waiting for results, or something equally trite and solvable."

You manage to find a book on the basic history of the major houses of the vale and you quickly flip to the section about house Redfort. It is informative and you feel that you have a better grip on this ancient house. One that claims firstmen blood. A distinct honor that only house Royce can also honestly lay claim to in the Vale, the rest are Majority Andal. Redfort's holdings are on the Southern side of the Vale and their Castle is on the Southern Slopes.Rieverre wrote:Like I said before, let's start with something relevant and likely to put local events into perspective - research on House Redfort and local history as it relates to that.

She has the basic maths down well though fractions are lost on her.
She looks horrified like you're about to turn on her as well (Seriously DON'T DO SHIT LIKE THAT TO A NEAR RAPE AND/OR MURDER VICTIM WHO WAS JUST ATTACKED!)

I give him a long look. "My father is enjoying himself. Better here than Chataya's... Besides, if you'd ever bothered to get to know your brother, you'd realize that there's a specific reason why he never was close to his bastards... and she's not present.""Watching my brother making a fool of himself for a spoiled brat son and a by-blow he'll forget about in a week's time is not an experience I wish to endure."

At that time Joffrey seems to have heard your conversation with Stannis and managed to catch the insult to his mother. He's immediately starts shouting how a bastard shouldn't have been allowed to compete and that he should be punished for insulting the Queen. Robert goes stone still and his eyes look like they're glowing with fury. Seriously you swear there is light flashing.

My eyes narrow to slits and you can see the same fury growing. "You're but a child so I will tolerate this affront to my honor. This once.

And with that you swear you smell ozone and something going TUNG! and Robert promptly grabs Joffery and storms to the door of the banquet hall. "My Son Is Tired And He Needs Rest. See That He Goes To His Bed Now!" A servant quickly grabs the prince and all but runs from the room. The king slams the door shut with a boom that you feel as much as hear, or at least you think. The king breaths heavily for a moment, then snatches a cup of wine from the nearest table and gulps it down, then returns to the head table announcing that he intends to go hunting tomorrow and that he will be gone for a while. He says that Ser Barristan of the kingsguard is coming along with his two Lannister squires, then he surprises people that you and Ser Martyn will be coming along with him and Mya will be a guest of the Crown at the Keep and she'll be treated with utter respect. Does he make himself perfectly clear?

Later on I tell him that Mya's always had a bit of a tomboy's tastes and would probably enjoy the fresh air more than the keep.
Besides, I'm loathe to leave her alone in King's Landing, even with The Bitch 'resting' because of her 'illness'.
If he's open for it, I also suggest bringing Tyrion and Stannis. Stannis from the sound of things could use some time off to maybe ease the pole lodged in his arse, while Tyion is witty, entertaining, and inviting him would allow the king so save some face with the Lannisters while at the same time thumbing his nose to old Tywin.
After all, Tywin is fast to take insult and both his daughter and grandson have humiliated themselves, and thus him, and as the man is quick to blame others for the failure of his own line. Inviting Tyion both mocks him because Tyrion is his least favorite, while at the same time honors the family... rendering him a bit impotent.

I'm going to assume she's not just made that up on the spot, and nod. Then go through his stuff, after asking what the poultice looks like. And after, you know, getting his pants back up. It'd help my case if he actually had the dose still on him.She looks at you then back to the man, then with one quick motion yanks his trousers down.

"I was going to do that regardless, but unless I wanted to just dump him in an alley somewhere and have him come back later, once he was back up, I need something plausible and genuine to tell the watchmen I'll be dropping him on. Hmm, what would have been the result if he'd ingested the poultice you gave him instead of applying topically?"
Actually ... at a risk of being assaulted by the guy's foul breath, does he smell of alcohol? If not, it might be a decent idea to apply some to his clothes before dragging him off in the direction of whichever guard-house Anna would consider somewhat friendly with her store. And now I have a number of explanations to give if stopped/when handing him off.

"Well enough." Stannis says."Uncle Stanis, Lord Tyrion, how are you two this day?"
"Same here Eddard." Tyrion says as well.
You ride on and you notice that Robert is getting tipsier and tipsier as you go along. Though at an incredible rate. One that even Stannis remarks as faster than normal if you ask him.73
About midday you hear a rustling in the bushes and a massive boar easily 700lbs bulls out of the forest right towards the king. He half tumbles out of his seat and tries to take the boar head on with a spear that's wobbling way too much for him to properly hit the damn thing.
You're the only one close enough to him to do something.
She eventually gets the concept, though it takes her several hours before she latches on completely. By that time you need to head out for your regular chores.

She shows you the stuff, a dark brown stuff that smells of garlic for some reason though she says there isn't really any in it.I'm going to assume she's not just made that up on the spot, and nod. Then go through his stuff, after asking what the poultice looks like. And after, you know, getting his pants back up. It'd help my case if he actually had the dose still on him.
Yes he does smell of it, though it's less he was drinking at the time and more he's a regular drinker."I was going to do that regardless, but unless I wanted to just dump him in an alley somewhere and have him come back later, once he was back up, I need something plausible and genuine to tell the watchmen I'll be dropping him on. Hmm, what would have been the result if he'd ingested the poultice you gave him instead of applying topically?"
Actually ... at a risk of being assaulted by the guy's foul breath, does he smell of alcohol? If not, it might be a decent idea to apply some to his clothes before dragging him off in the direction of whichever guard-house Anna would consider somewhat friendly with her store. And now I have a number of explanations to give if stopped/when handing him off.
She decides to come with you the sergeant at the nearest guard house owes her a favor so her word and the poultice should be proof enough to get her attacker put away for a while.
If you agree with her coming with you she asks you as you walk along why you were in her shop, you look a bit young for needing her expertise?

A yep.Alright
"Wonderful!" I say in a cheerful voice."Well enough." Stannis says.
"Same here Eddard." Tyrion says as well.
I frown. "Father, are you alright?"You ride on and you notice that Robert is getting tipsier and tipsier as you go along. Though at an incredible rate. One that even Stannis remarks as faster than normal if you ask him.
I doubt I have the time to move my house around, so I throw the spear as hard as I can at its heart, leap in front of it, and counter charge with the hammer.About midday you hear a rustling in the bushes and a massive boar easily 700lbs bulls out of the forest right towards the king. He half tumbles out of his seat and tries to take the boar head on with a spear that's wobbling way too much for him to properly hit the damn thing.
You're the only one close enough to him to do something.
I'm going to try and catch it right in the brain case, and avoid the tusks.

You make a throw like that of an Olympic champion and hit the thing in the side. It doesn't seem to have hit anything lethal but the beast roars in pain and turns it's focus from Robert to you. You limber your hammer and swing it for all your worth. Striking in the head. This time a squeal of pain is made and the beast loses its balance and falls over. While it struggles to get back up, the rest of the party falls on it with spears and swords.I doubt I have the time to move my house around, so I throw the spear as hard as I can at its heart, leap in front of it, and counter charge with the hammer.

The beast is dead. Robert looks angry but before he can say anything he belches and collapses then starts snoring.

I run over, catch him, and frown and pick up his wine skin.The beast is dead. Robert looks angry but before he can say anything he belches and collapses then starts snoring.
"I saw him drink three times this much last night and he was still hale, hearty, and almost entirely lucid."
I hand it to Tyrion. "Why I do not mean to make any false assertions Lord Tyrion, you're probably the one of us most likely to have knowledge of various drugs and sedatives if only from medicinal and recreational use. Could you tell me if you think anything is the matter with the wine in this skin?"

Ah...then you crushed the damn thing's head. It still takes forever for the thing to give up.You mean they have time? I would have been pounding the damned thing's head like a railroad spike!
Tyrion blinks that you're asking for his opinion but he takes the skin, opens it and takes a tiny sip. He then spits it out, "Milk of the Poppy I recognize that taste anywhere. Seems that someone wanted the King so drunk that he'd get himself killed."I run over, catch him, and frown and pick up his wine skin.

Stannis is in a cold fury. He then turns to the two squires who look like they're about to shit themselves. "You were the ones to give my brother his wine." He didn't even manage to finish his sentence before the two of them drop to their knees and beg for mercy. Apparently the queen had told them to do it. Why they didn't know.
Stannis then turns to his brother. "The king must be told, and these two, must be punished for treason." He draws his sword and turns to you, "Help me tie them up so they can be sentenced in King's Landing. "The Queen is also a traitor and must be dealt with as well."
At that point Tyrion speaks up, "As much as you have a right to righteous fury, I would ask that you have mercy on my cousins, they're only young boys and were made to do this.
"Then why did they not tell the king what the Queen wanted them to do."
"Most likely because the Queen terrifies them. My sister has that effect on people."
"That still is no excuse Dwarf. They're the king's squires and their first loyalty should be to their king and master."
Might want to step in soon. Barristan is a little lost here at the moment.

When you ask him to speak with him he nods and says, "Alright boy speak your piece."
