[X] Plan: Survival of the Squire
-[X] [Ser Orton] Ask for combat training.
-[X] Try to get some armor.
-[X] Rest.
Maybe if we get lucky we'll get a helmet/chainmail for the head (with a padded coif under it of course), gambeson and maybe some Jack chains (aka poor mans chainmail).
Even with bad rolls I'd at least want some head protection since we got a shield for the body.
Also something to not forget is looking for the legs. There is a reason people got leg protection before upgrading their gambeson or helmet.

Rest is more important. The Sept might not help much since we aren't very pious.
I'd rather not die on the battlefield because of our sleep deprived state.

Imo it's less that we just need sleep and more that we need therapy, of which the Sept is the closest approximation we're likely to get.
Also, never underestimate how good of a sleep aid a low droning murmur can be.
Turn 2: Riverrun - Final Tally

I wonder what sort of armor will be available, I know that it will be pretty low tier for Arlan but I've always liked seeing the options when shopping in a Quest.

Chain mail and some padding/leather armor might be doable. Plate or anything too customized is out of question.
You forgot that you first get the padding (gambeson) before even considering chain. Padding is top tier for it's cost, but it's still padding.
I'm more worried about getting a semi-decent helmet. Unlike what Hollywood logic dictates, there's no good place to get hit at but head injuries are more dangerous than most other wounds.
Soooooo.... no plate armor on turn 2? Shame.

That's very clearly better than nothing, and frankly at this point we don't have the kind of experience we need in order to be able to easily adapt to particularly onerous armor. Yes, the idea that actually armor was five-thousand pounds and nobody could move in it is weird Hollywood bullshit, but the armor does have weight, and you DO have to train with it to get used to it, so maybe we can work our way up to full armor.
So the QM pretty much

Nah, that's a hint that sucking up to your commanders can and will benefit you. Pretty much half the trick of being successful as a hedge knight is to figure out who you can convince that you are worth investing resources into.So the QM pretty much
Yeah, grinding stats will not be all that helpful if we're not friends with whoever's our boss.

That'd be a Tully, ultimately, given where we ended up.
Dread it, run from it, the Tully Gambit arrives all the same.
He's obviously going to marry his third (non-existent) daughter to the ruler (or rulers) of Mossovy to surround the Iron Islands from all sides.
