The Torney Part 3: Unforeseen Consequences

    • The Torney Part 3: Unforeseen Consequences

    You and Aerys looked at each other with a panicked glare, before deciding the only clear choice of action that two little boys could take in a situation where life and death may be on the line.

    Run to an adult and hoped to the Seven that they could deal with the situation. Because if they couldn't, Steffon and Nymeria may be doomed.

    So the two of you walked across the frantic and crowded torney field, trying your best to remain calm and collected even though Aerys was terrified, and you were worried.

    You reached the King sitting next to his lady wife, laughing at a joke that neither you nor Aerys heard, or understood. Tywin and Joanna were sitting in the shade, by ropes separating the kings box from the rest of the spectators and lower nobles, talking to someone that they must have known from the Westerlands.

    The Sigil of the Westerlings of the Crag was in the man's hand, along with a banner of the Lannisters.

    The king then saw Areys and you, clearly surprised how tired and winded you looked. "Boys? What is wrong?" He asked, his face filled with confusion.

    Areys showed him the picture. "I dreamed this."

    The King's face narrowed as he took the picture that Areys drew and examined it.

    Your heartbeat picked up pace as the king's face went through numerous emotions, from anger, to confusion, to absolute terror. "Ser Duncan." He ordered.

    "Yes?" Duncan replied as he jogged over to his king.

    "Suspend the Tournament and offer to pay for expenses of any knight who as participating in the joust and Melee. Tell Gerald to send Ravens to all the City Watch commanders, tell them to lock down the city, no one enters, no one leaves. And take all the guard you can gather, find Steffon and Nymeria."

    "Yes Your Grace." Duncan replied and he ran over to some of the guardsmen.

    "What's going on?" You asked.

    "Not now!" Aegon raised his voice. "Tywin, Joanna!" He shouted the names of his two wards with force, causing them both to look at the King. "Get up, we must leave now."

    "What the seven hells is going on?" You asked again, trying to understand why the king was locking down the city. They should just find Steffon and Nymeria, as a Mystery knight.

    Shouldn't they?

    The paper was still in the king's hand, his fist crumpling it as his eyes widened.

    "Your Grace." Steffon was on a horse, shouting with Nymeria behind him, waving. Steffon was in Armor, a suit that seemed custom-made for a boy his size. It was not armor made for battle, it was made for a ceremony, on that you and the other boys wore on occasion.

    Foreseen consequences: 1D100 => 12

    The Arrow came from the front, near the Archery range, striking Steffon in the shoulder, and knocking him down off of his horse, his body striking the ground hard.

    Nymeria looked terrified, as she took the reins of the horse to regain control, as it began to buck, with hooves striking Steffon's back once before control was regained.

    "Long live the Black Dragon!" A man spoke, shouting high in a shout as he drew his sword and ran Towards the kings box and Aegon.

    Swords were already drown, everything was happening so fast, that you could only think of doing one thing.

    What do you do:
    []Run to Steffon: He is hurt and needs to get to the Maester.
    []Grab Aerys: He's standing right next to you, and might be in danger.
    []Grab the Knife: There is a knife on the table, maybe you can use it.
    []Hit the dirt: You have a feeling that things are about to get ugly and you can't do anything about it.

    AN: Sorry it took so long. Life happened.

    • [X]Run to Steffon: He is hurt and needs to get to the Maester.

    Dude just got hit by an arrow and then a horse, he needs help. Aegon and Aerys have the Kingsguard so I'm not worried about them, our combat score is crap and hitting the dirt just means letting this play out which in my mind isn't an option.

    He's in full plate, there will be a bruise from the horse and the arrow wound is a flesh wound. We should grab the knife and defend Aerys.

    -[x] grab the knife, it's right there and you won't be any good for anyone unarmed.

    Armour that wasn't meant for battle.

    Even if it was proper armour, a horse can do some pretty substantial damage and that arrow hit with enough force to unseat him for the saddle so I highly doubt that's just a flesh wound.
     
    While I won't say how injured Steffon is, the kings guard are locking down the city at the moment on Aegons orders, while also looking for Steffon and Nymeria.

    So there is only Aegon, Betha, Tywin, Joanna, Aerys and us on the stage at this exact moment.

    I will not tell you if they are armed or not.

    Well that changes things,
    [x]Grab Aerys: He's standing right next to you, and might be in danger.
    With our -20 to combat the best we can do is avoid the danger, not fight it.
     
    [X]Hit the dirt: You have a feeling that things are about to get ugly and you can't do anything about it.

    *Punches the ground*

    Hero time! We aren't going to get to marry Rhaella if we wuss out at the first sign of danger.

    Kamina is a special case.

    And he died like in ten episodes... Although he did have one of the most badass deaths ever.

    The Stars weep for the death of Princes after all.

    This is Westeros and we're soon to head into a Blackfyre war, a badass death is something to hope for, don't want to end up bawling your eyes out as your guts spill down your front after all.
