As An Eagle Flies (A House Arryn Quest)

Part 14: Even more Friends


Do you go to Maester Jonnel's lessons?:

[X]Yes 1D100 => 87+5=92


It appears once you know where everything is, and how the system worked, you started to run circles around everyone in terms of learning. You devoured every question, book, scroll and assignment like a child possed with zeal.


Reward: All skills not relating to combat are at the Novice Rank.


Do you go to Ser Duncan's Lessons:

[X]Yes1D100 => 47+5=


Despite your best efforts, Duncan did not think you were ready for moving on beyond the basics.


Failure.



After the Lessons, what do you do:

[X]Spend time with Nymeria: The Dornish girl is quite interesting, you want to ask her about her home, and how different it is from the Vale. Rolled: 1D100 => 74+5=79 Friendship Roll:1D100 => 56


The dornish girl was sitting beneath a tree near the tourney grounds, watching the men at arms train, as if she were waiting for their backs turn.


"What are you doing?" You asked, sitting beside her.


Nymeria shook in fear. "What are you doing?" She asked.


"Hopefully I'm going to be able to offer my friendship and so that you can answer my questions about Dorne?" You were quite blunt in your response. "And stop you from doing something stupid."


"I'm not doing anything stupid." She replied.


"You've been looking at that horse for a while now. Are you trying to steal it?" You asked.


"No, I'm just going to borrow it." She replied.


"That is a stupid idea. I have a better one." You stated.


You took Nymeria's hand and slowly walked towards the stable, towards one of the men at arms and the stablemaster.


"Excuse me." The two men both recognized the two wards of the crown and gave you the attention you deserve. "We wish to go riding around the tournament grounds, do you think we can take one of the horses?"


There was a small glance between the two men, before the stablemaster shrugged. "Hyle!" He shouted.


A knight walked over. "They want to ride a horse, ride with them."


"Are they training today?" the knight asked.


"Would they be asking if they weren't?" The stablemaster replied.


The knight nodded. "You know how to mount?"


"No." You replied.


"Yes." Nymeria stated.


Riding a horse with Nymeria was… terrifying, to say the least.


Reward: Nymeria is a very good rider and a good friend. Although you would never ride with her again.


[X]Spend time with Steffon: So he's the troublemaker of this group…. Oh what the hells, time to join in and see if you can be his friend. It might do him some good. Rolled:1D100 => 65+5=70 Friendship roll:1D100 => 55


Steffon was sitting at the table, calmly whittling away with a knife and a piece of wood.


The paper and book that the Maester gave him to read and write. "Jonnel is going to be mad when he sees you lazing around."


"Why should I care what Jonnel wants?" he replied.


"Because we are becoming lord's, not just knights." You replied.


"I don't want to be a lord?" he stated.


"We don't have that luxury of that choice." you replied.


Steffon scoffed. "But being a lord is so hard."


"Have you ever asked for help?" You asked. "Or has your pride blinded you to people offering you help."


Steffon paused. "No one has ever offered to help me."

"I am." You replied.

Steffon ran away, not wanting to be with you any longer.


A few days later, after a lesson, he asked you for help.


Reward: Steffon is now asking for help to being a lord and a knight, to balance both his dream and responsibility's.


[X]Spend time with the Kingsguard: The greatest knights of the realm… maybe you can learn how to be as great as them. Rolled:1D100 => 39+5=44


Ser Duncan told you that he and the Kingsguard were needed elsewhere at the moment.


Failure.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


You sighed. An event was coming, and you wanted no part of it.


What event was coming?


[]Aerys Name day Tournament: It seems Aegon wanted to give out squireships to the winners of the tourney. It was a small one, but filled with many bright names. Names that might want to have you squire for them.


[]King Aegon's Feast: Aegon is hosting a feast for many lords of the Crownlands, and is holding a meeting for a potential idea and founding of a new institution, an idea from Lord Tytos… Something about a bank needing more investors.


[]A Forign Visit: The Esteemed Eminence, the Sealord of Bravoss has arrived to negotiate a trading agreement. And of course, you need to be on your best behavior. But you feel… uneasy about the whole thing. Like something is going to happen.

AN: Enjoy.
