I wonder what that Fey Knight is, mechanically.
Maybe this fellow?

I'm pretty confident that Viserys could beat that guy in close combat, so I'm guessing something stronger.

He is hanging around in the Reach, where CR 12 would make him a pretty big deal.
I'd bet on him against 99% of Westerosi knights.
Not every encounter is level-appropriate.

Point. I'm just assuming that the Court of Stars would be more careful about mysterious knights / bards what with our little disagreement about who will kneel before whom.
Then again, they might decide this makes for a better story. Bloody fey.
Vote closed.
To be fair, it's the fae infested Reach, and there's a tourney on too. If you carefully tip-toe around every mystery knight, your toes will be really sore.
The real surprise is they didn't figure us out because of Rina, pretty sure she's one of a kind.

did we have Rina last time we interacted with the court of stars? becouse i don't think we did so they wouldn't about her would they
I figured they'd know mostly because someone stealing from the Others big time would be major fae news.
Well guessing they heard the story we told last night and wanted to see how true it was. It's a pretty great story so can totally see them being interested. If they noticed Rina well that just makes it look very true.
Edit: Also where are all the puns and jokes? Just want people to react to the bad jokes.

A hair's breadth short of calling the fey a liar.

Part MMMCDXIV: Of Lords and Ladies
Of Lords and Ladies
Twenty Fourth Day of the Twelfth Month 293 AC
What the hell is he expecting you to say? you scoff inwardly. Admit to lying in front of not only the audience that cheered you yesterday, but the knights he had brought with you besides? Keeping your tone cheerful you proclaim aloud: "It almost seems you wish to call me a liar, but I assure you that I witnessed these events and the good Ser Geralt's valor in facing the monsters of the cold with my own eyes. Granted, there might have been a little something about their nature slipped in that I picked up from the Thenn skalds, but why should not the bard learn from his peers as the scholar does?"
One of the knights, the one Fossoway with hair almost as bright as his heraldry, shakes his head disbelievingly at 'scholar' and turns to his fellows. "The singers think they are scholars now. Has some satyr stolen this one's wits with spelled wine? It would account for the name at least."
One might almost wish for one of those Thenn skalds you mentioned, they are after all trained at war like all their kin and just as quick to defend their honor as any of them, but you swallow your irritation at least until you know who you are addressing and get their measure. Instead you keep your gaze upon the fey knight: "Has the song not pleased you, good Ser?"
"Your song has made me curious, young one," the fey replies with far more caution than his mortal fellows. "But let us not be ill mannered beneath the good innkeep's roof. You may call me Dregaire, knight of the High Hunt, Crimson is my color, but to the Star Crowned my fealty. In terms more familiar to this land you might call me a household knight, for I hold no fealty in my own name." He pauses, looking back at his companions, obviously waiting for their own introductions.
The Fossoway knight looks mutinous, but the slightly older man wearing the three thunderbolts of House Leygood inclines his head readily enough. "Ser Cerin Leygood, third-born and second spare to my father Lord Rikard. I would make a poor maester and worse septon I'm told."
Next to speak is the Ashford knight, though he proves to bear a loftier title than that: "Ser Owen Ashford, at your service good bard."
"My lord I... I beg pardon... I didn't recognize you," the innkeeper stutters while a ripple of surprise and similar excuses goes through the crowd.
The young lord waves them off. "Well of course you didn't, I had a 'notice-me-not' enchantment placed upon me so I could see how the tourney was shaping up without all the bowing and the scraping." he sighs dramatically. "Alas that also warded off the gazes of lovely ladies, but that was a burden I had to bear." The younger of the innkeeper's daughters blushes under his gaze, though from the look she returns you suspect this is not the first time they have met.
"Ladies you say?" the last knight scoffs again. "Call a wench a wench will you. There's no lady to be seen about..."
"And did the lord of these lands not seem nothing but a common knight to most until he announced himself?" Dregaire interjects softly. "You might be surprised, my friend, where lords and ladies might be found." Turning to you he adds. "I would be intrigued, good Buttercup, to hear more of your tales after I have seen Ser Geralt's prowess for myself."
With that the horned fey sweeps out, leaving the inn patrons sheepishly backing out of his way and even two of his companions bemused. Only the Lord of Ashford shakes his head tolerantly. "I suppose this makes for an interesting chapter in the tale of our lives. Tell me, Ser Knight, aught I call your companions lords and ladies in honor of my friend's cautioning?"
"I wouldn't presume to offer a lord counsel on what courtesies to use," Ser Richard replies, still staring after the fey.
"Excellent," the lord laughs. "I always felt it unfair that only knights could mantle mystery and not ladies when they are far more invested of that quality, at least in my experience."
Offering his arm to Rina he adds: "Come then, you can watch the joust from the high box."
Rina glances towards you, unsure if she should take the cheerful offer, and likely even more so for the air of flirtation it is delivered in. Dany catches her eyes and you can feel the faint ripple of a whisper-spell through the air. You can guess the gist of it if not the precise words from Rina's relieved smile and quick acceptance.
What do you do next?

I'm getting the feeling we should have brought Oberyn along.
Also, that Fossoway Knight will have a priceless reaction when he learns who "Buttercup" is.

Wait. Is Richard going to compete in this tournament? This will be very interesting.
Wait a minute. Rina could sneeze and turn this guy to ice. What is she so worried about?

no, we both are. ser geralt will enter becouse obviously and buttercup the battlebard will enter "by accident" using bad puns the entire time
Societal expectations basically. Being able to kill someone does not obviate social anxieties.

She's socially awkward and the good Lord seems a man of Oberyns temperament. Being able to murder everyone in the room with a flick of her wrist doesn't help against that kind of anciety.
Dany is much more assertive, what with having threatened to murder her first ruler at 6.

Ahh. That makes more sense. I thought she felt threatened but social anxiety is more than understandable. Still, if he makes any untoward movements I hope he gets turned to a mass of ice equal to his current mass.

Are we humiliating knights now? At least Dark Sister will get some use.
Right. I remember that. Truly an absolutely terrifying sister.
