The Final Battle Part 1: Landfall
[X]Spend time with Uncle Yohn: You always wanted to hear the stories about the rune blade and rune armor that his family claim to craft. Rolled:
1D100 => 37+10=47
Uncle Yohn was to busy preparing for landfall, and the battle that may come with it. But he did send give you something to you, as a way to make up for it.
It was a stone. And a note.
"In time, I will teach you the old ways of our family Arstan… but now is not the time. Keep that stone safe, and in time, it will keep you safe."
You had no idea what that meant. But you pocketed it just in case.
Failure: In the Vale, next time you visit Yohn, he will teach you the ways of Rune Smithing, and of House Royce.
[X]Spend Time with your Father: Your father and you haven't spoken much since before the battle, and you really want to speak with him again, before the next battle. Rolled:
1D100 => 100+10
Your father looked… cold when you walked up to him on the deck. "Father… are you alright."
He looked at you, and his smile seemed to brighten the entire world around you. "I'm fine Arstan. Now that you're here."
"You said you wished to talk to me?" You asked. "What do you want to talk about?"
Your father looked out towards the lands that were the Essosi Disputed lands. "I just wish to spend some time with you Arstan. A little bit more time." He sounded,sad but you brushed that off. "Tell me… what was it like, fighting without me or Ser Gerold by your side?"
You gulped, and thought. "It was nothing… I just… did what I was trained to do… nothing else mattered but staying alive. And that's what we did." You finally replied.
Your father nodded. "War is… where man learn much about himself… mostly about what he is not." He sighed. "I'm not surprised that you haven't wanted to go home yet. You believe we have a duty, and that we must do our duty, to our king, and to ourselves."
"Father?" You didn't understand.
"Arstan. I'm afraid for you… I have learned a long time ago that life is fragile, and must be protected at all cost. I thought you weren't ready to face the world, and all of it's dangers." your father paused. "Truthfully, I wasn't ready to see you grow up into a man who can stand tall by himself, without his father protecting him."
His hands went onto your shoulders, and he looked you in the eyes, before placing his forehead onto your own. "And I am so proud of you."
"Thank you, father." You replied quietly.
He then stood up straight and grabbed your hand. He then placed a stone into it. "What's that?"
"A Gift from your Uncle Yohn to me when you were kidnapped. He said it would keep me safe in battle. I want you to hold onto it." Your father replied.
"But-"
"No buts. Please. Just do it for me. Promise me Arstan?"
Promise me Arstan… the words echoed through your mind like a bell. "I promise."
"Good." Your father replied. "Now get ready, we're almost to the rest of the fleet."
Reward: Recived a Rune: This rock is said to contain magical energies to protect the wielder of it. (-10 to enemy combat rolls.)

The Army was assembled on the beach, and preparing to march inland.
"Lord Baratheon, our scouts have already found the golden company, 50,000 swords are marching to us in haste, we must mark further inland to get more favorable ground for the knights and our forces." Lord Stark stated.
"What about the ships, we can't just leave them." Lord Grafton stated. "We'll be Trapped in Essos if they're destroyed."
Lord Baratheon stroked his beard. "They'll want a battle, and we shall give them one."
He then turned to Lord Grafton. "Anchor the ship off the coast, but remain in sight if you can, we may need reinforcements."
Lord Baratheon than turned to Lord Stark and Lord Lannister. "Gather the men, we're preparing for a defensive battle."
On the beach and hills surrounding it… better place than nothing.
