"And why not?" I ask mocking.Brian Boru wrote:"Not worth the effort..."
Yep. I enjoy the company.It is a fun night.
"It's that youthful metabolism."They glare a bit.
"And let this be a lesson to you... because if I had wanted to kill you this fight would have lasted seconds. It's HARDER to keep people alive in battle."The fight is over in less than a minute. The kid never managed to get a hit on you and you all but twisted him into a pretzel...one that will eventually twist out and leave him still able to fight...but not for a long while.
"What is everybody looking at?"The others who watched this duel stare in amazement.
I do ask her. But I ask her to watch herself. We're entering the wolf's den.The next day the castle is all abuzz, most of the knights are heading out to go to the tournament in King's Landing. You and your master are heading with them, so are Lyn Corbray and Mychel Redfort. When Mya learns that both of you are leaving, she seems a bit apprehensive about being left alone. If you ask her to come along then she willingly comes. It takes only a little more convincing for Martyn to agree to it.

I believe that it is a shame that such a good weapon is left collecting dust instead of being used. And... well sir. When I held it, it just felt right, I don't know how to describe it precisely. But I believe I can use it proficiently."
And indeed some DO seem to take offense.

You ride further up the trail, in the general direction that the villagers said the Black Ears went. Then as you turn around a bend, "Arm yourselves," a low voice calls out.73
As you do the surrounding high ground erupts with the black ear raiders howling down on you from the hillsides. Necklaces of shriveled ears around the necks of each and every one of them. You've managed to arm yourselves but they have the highground.

She's interested, she's never been to King's Landing before and she'd like to see the big Red Keep just once. She promises to be careful.I do ask her. But I ask her to watch herself. We're entering the wolf's den.
The ride through the Mountains of the Moon goes well, even exceptionally. You even manage to shoot down a Shadow cat on the ride and you win the hide. Do you make a cloak out of it? It's a prime example of martial prowess though some might consider it primitive.6
Roll another d100 for how the ride through the riverlands to the edge of the Crownlands.

The tribes aren't exactly disciplined - like a pack of wild beasts, they'll come at us, hungry for blood and trophies. It's good that I packed my hunting bow, then - the thought flits through my mind momentarily before I banish it and aim for the one at the front of the pack, with the most trophies/the one looking the most imposing or important, in other words.
I'll loose the first arrow, then slip my feet from the stirrups and dismount, draw another arrow, and repeat until they're too close to engage this way. Then abandon the bow and join the fray.
This is _exactly_ why I have a buckler and what's essentially a weighted truncheon as weapons of choice. Easy to simply yank into my hands from where they're on my belt and get to using them, no pesky edges to worry about.

Re: Stags of the Mountains: You in the A Song of Ice and Fire BROB: With a Bonus!
You knock down the first man, and the second, and the third, and almost the fourth though HE happened to have a shield he is left howling in pain though. After him you're forced to pull out your melee weapons you begin going through the bastards like a cyclone going through a toothpick factory. You leave behind a line of broken bodies, shattered skulls, broken bones, the list goes on. As you whirl like a tornado you notice one bigger individual that seems to be the driving force in the group.Rieverre wrote:I glance at the front ranks of the attackers, even as my hands put arrow to string and begin to draw back.

It is rather nice, the purple with light gray stripes is VERY distinct.Oh fuck yes. Though I make sure its tastefully done.
As you ride through the Riverlands near where a road splits off from the King's Road to circle around God's Eye lake you run into a small band of knights coming from the North, house Goodbrook if the gold shield with the blue diagonal waved line from top left to bottom right many of the men have on their shields is any sign. When they learn you're name is Stone, some of them get a little...pissy, especially when one of them notices the black stag on your hammer and then notices your black hair, blue eyes, and size. "Hey now, what's a bastard doing with a Baratheon weapon out in the open like that? Trying to be the next Daemon Blackfyre boy. From your barely remembered lessons you got on heraldry when you became a squire, house Goodbrook was one of the Riverland houses that sided with Aerys during the war and suffered for it...so they're inclined to be pissy about it.24

Hate bastards in general and Daemon is the reason why. And you're likely of Baratheon blood. Hate doesn't have to make sense. One of the knights snarls and looks ready to make a fight of it. You're on the road and there isn't anyone or anything else for miles besides your two groups."Are you angry that that I'm a bastard with a Stag's hammer or are you resentful that it's not a dragon and I'm not a white hared ninny?"

"Aye my lord. He'll have his lumps, but I will not cripple or him him sir."Your master says, "Just don't kill or cripple him."
With that, time to lay a beatdown on the idiot. That being said, I'm confident, but better to not underestimate the opponent. Being mindful of not killing him or shattering his bones or some other crippling wounds, I'll lay into him. Seeking to disarm him by shattering his sword and shield, then tapping him on the head to knock him out or making him yield.

I bull-rush the clansman immediately in-front of me, stunning him with a truncheon-clenching mailed fist to the face and shoving his body into one of the other wilders ... then use space so created to advance towards their leader. Repeat as necessary. I don't bother shouting, making any declarations, or wasting my breath.
When I get to him I dismantle him in the most efficient way I can come up with at the moment, using truncheon, shield, boot, fist and elbow as necessary. He wouldn't be leading this mess if he was not able to stand against attempts at usurpation, so I'm not faffing about here.

You smash several more Hill Tribesmen as you make your way towards him, but to your frustration, he seems to notice your ploy and calls for the black ears to fall back. They do like mist under a high noon sun. Many hopping onto small horses you hadn't notice until now but scamper into the mountains along tracks that you KNOW would shatter your horses' legs if they even thought about following. All in all there are about 5 knights dead and another 10 with either bleeding heads or missing ears. Around you are 24 dead or dying, you helped put 11 of them down during your melee and your shooting. Many of the other men with you look highly impressed with your work.I bull-rush the clansman immediately in-front of me, stunning him with a truncheon-clenching mailed fist to the face and shoving his body into one of the other wilders ... then use space so created to advance towards their leader.

He's actually a hair shorter than you and even though he's a grown man, you're just as broad as he is....scary how big you're going to get huh? His armor IS mostly plate, though not HIGH quality plate. But plate nonetheless.
He looks at you funny for a moment, then seems to get the idea and says, "You can try though you'd have to offer something of equal value for the wager."

I beat the stupid out of him. Aggressive as possible, give him no chance to go on the defensive. Hell, I don't even use a shield, instead I duel wield a bastard sword and a huge fucking Warhammer.
My idea is to smash his defenses with the hammer then follow up by disarming him with the sword. I don't want this to be lethal, but I want it to be short.

The fight goes about as well as you expect. A battered, bloody and bruised body layed out on the ground.

You've won a full set of proper jousting armor as well as a horse that can ride in the lists and hope to survive. Not a bad afternoon overall.

As you ride through the crownlands, you find yourselves riding with larger and larger groups of knights and lords from everywhere in the seven kingdoms come to compete in the tourney. Roughly five days out from King's Landing, a brawl suddenyly sparks between a group of Reach men and Stormlanders, something about the Siege of Storm's End you think. No weapons have been drawn but fists, some mailed and some not are flying everywhere as 60 Reach men rumble with 50 or so Stormlanders with you're little group of Valemen caught in the center.34

Heh.He actually seems touched...you think...the battered face doesn't lend much to visible emotions....
Never hurts to be polite.
Blood runs true I guess... combine that with a good teacher, and well...They nod in amazement, you're master wonder what the hell he taught you to make you this damn good and why didn't he pick up on his own lesson!
I work to make a path. Though I am MUCH harder on the Reachmen than the Stormlanders.

"Aye! Make way! Not all of us are involved in your rivalries! There are women present you bloody arses!"
And by work to make a path I mean beat the shit out of everyone in my way.
Once my sister and the women are clear, I dive back in and beat the hell out of the Reachmen.

Well, I guess I went abit overboard with him... though I guess this should deter most from trying to challenge me.You completely maul him. While he'll be walking eventually...that might be a long while from now...a LONG while.
I bow to my master with the end of the duel, showing him his due as the one whom taught me how to fight. I'll remain a humble squire, as I am not one for pride. This had to be done to make a point. Nothing more, nothing less.The other knights and their squires stare at you in amazement.
Anyways, I'll make sure my opponent is well taken care of, this was a duel, not a battle, I'd rather he recover fully and fight real enemies then be a cripple or lay in bed for a extended period of time.
After that... well, I guess its time to head out?

Once you get the girls through you turn right around and hurl yourself into the fray, your fists soon take their toll on the men of the Reach and soon you and the Stormlanders manage to route or beat insensate the Reachmen and drive them from the field. The Stormlanders roar in approval and clap you on the shoulder, you realize now that these men had the green sea turtles of house Eastermont, the house Robert's mother was from. When the helm of the knight leading the part is raised, you see a tall young man, though older than you and thick brown eyebrows. "You have my thanks Ser, if there is anything http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Alyn_Estermont can do for you then do not hesitate to ask."

"May I take you up on the offer at a later date, m'lord?" I reply intentionally speaking in a muffled voice, "As for the moment any autonomy is my most valuable prize.

By the numbers, we've won ... by and other measure, no, not really. My eyes narrow and my fists clench as I glare at the retreating tribesmen.Brian Boru wrote:You smash several more Hill Tribesmen as you make your way towards him, but to your frustration, he seems to notice your ploy and calls for the black ears to fall back. They do like mist under a high noon sun. Many hopping onto small horses you hadn't notice until now but scamper into the mountains along tracks that you KNOW would shatter your horses' legs if they even thought about following. All in all there are about 5 knights dead and another 10 with either bleeding heads or missing ears. Around you are 24 dead or dying, you helped put 11 of them down during your melee and your shooting. Many of the other men with you look highly impressed with your work.
This will be trouble, if it isn't already. A leader who knows when to withdraw, with a band that actually follows and obeys such an order?
I go around looking for the wounded tribals who still appear somewhat sensate, and round them up if there are any. Then ask the hedge-knights - particularly that one who was instrumental in tracking the band down - about the immediate area and terrain. While the wounded knights are seen to, I'm going to interrogate the tribals as to where their hidey hole or camp is. And by interrogate ... well, they have that ear obsession. I'll say that it's a terrible hereafter, if you go dishonored and not 'whole', then tap a knife-edge on the fingers of one of them, then the ears, then the nose ...
Depending on how this goes (again, if there are any alive and sensate still) I might or might not have to resort to actually cutting things off.
Also, damn, I hope Ser Martyn made it out of this scrap okay. Kinda hope Mychal did too. Actually, how many of our force are left, in general?

After you're mauling of the hedge knight, none of the others seem willing to protest you wielding that hammer, with a shrug the leader of the group, Lyn Corbray, has you ride out. You head out from the gates of the moon and onward towards the mountains.I bow to my master with the end of the duel, showing him his due as the one whom taught me how to fight.

With that he returns to his companions and your group heads on.
A few days later you finally reach King's Landing, the city on the hills, the place where Aegon the conqueror, with his sisters and their three dragons first arrived in Westeros and then proceeded to conquer the seven kingdoms....expect for Dorne.
Hundreds of knights and thousands of men and women of other rankings have come to compete in the tourney in honor of Crown Prince Joffery's Nameday.
You spot the sigils of many of the noble houses of Westeros ranging from the Crowned Skull of house Manwoody of Dorne to...your surprise, the Sigil of house Umber of the North...then a slight flip goes through your stomach, the three black dogs on yellow of house Clegane. It seems that Gregor is competing here as well....
Once your group sets up camp, you have around a day before the first round of the knight's jousting tournament begins. You still have the silver you earned for battling the Hill Tribes, what do you wish to do with yourself?
Amazing both came out alright though Martyn's armor's more than a little roughened up. Mychel is well also but he's a bit shell-shocked by his first bloody fight. They and everyone present are amazed at how well you fought today a fourteen year old boy shouldn't be THIS good, especially in his first fight to the death. All are incredibly impressed. Lyn Corbray seems to be a little contemplative about his sword...before finally shaking his head and mouthing the words (you think) "no not just yet, but close EXTREMELY close."Rieverre wrote:By the numbers, we've won ... by and other measure, no, not really.

Then he turns to you and congratulates you on your first battle, that you fought with amazing valor and skill, high praise from one of the best knights in the Vale, and a wielder of a Valyrian Steel sword, an incredible heirloom. He promises to make sure High Steward Nestor Royce will reward you for your efforts in battle.
As for the Hill Tribes men, unfortunately none seem to be answer any questions, either dead or their heads so cracked that nothing coherent is coming of of them. One knight was trying the same thing and got his ear bitten off by a dying man for his trouble.

Dragons are awesome.A few days later you finally reach King's Landing, the city on the hills, the place where Aegon the conqueror, with his sisters and their three dragons first arrived in Westeros and then proceeded to conquer the seven kingdoms....expect for Dorne.
I wants one. Have plans to gets one. If I can kidnap a specific white haired lass...

Though if I face the mountain I hold nothing back because he won't either. I need to take his ass down hard and fast.
I want to have my armor blackened and refit it to my body. I also need paint for my shield. I ask my sister and master what I should paint on it. Suggestions?Once your group sets up camp, you have around a day before the first round of the knight's jousting tournament begins. You still have the silver you earned for battling the Hill Tribes, what do you wish to do with yourself?
A golden heart on a black field as a visual pun?
A Shadow Cat against a mountain?
Something else?

You head to the street of steel in the city proper, you manage to find a decently priced Blacksmith who'll do it for a fair and manageable price. As he works on the metal you notice a shock of black hair over at a blacksmith shop owned by someone named Tobho Mott, something seemed familiar about that hair but you let it go for the moment unless you want to pursue it.
Either way you soon have your armor darkened and your shield is painted. You're ready to ride knight of the ..... what?
Yes...yes it did....Aceraptor wrote:Heh, I'll bet. I guess I made quite the impression on them with how I trounced that knight.
As you ride through the mountains, you make your way through a ravine when suddenly arrows, darts, rocks, and other missiles rain down on you from either side. It seems the hill tribes found you. a good 80 of them.Well, time to look for the raiders and put them to the sword (or hammer as it were)

First I need to discredit the Lannister bitch.
Youth and speed. I have to be faster and aim for the weaknesses every man has.Good luck, the man has years of experience on you.
The problem is I can't cripple him but I also can't hold back.
Done. It will be a shadow cat.Both of them like the Shadow cat idea, the gold heart might draw the undesired kind of attention.

One other thing I do check with Mya. If I win I will either name her Queen of Love and Beauty or our bitch step mother to try and placate her vicious ego which will be rubbed wrong by this.
Her choice. I'd love to name her and give her the honor of standing with me in honor, which would build up her status greatly, but at the same time the Bitch must be placated.
What does my master think?
