The Execution:
(Five Months Later)
You stood firm in the field of Wreckstone, the latest island that the Westerosi forces had captured, even as disgust filled your face at the slaughter and the burning corpses of the soldiers who had died on the field.
The information that was given to you was wrong… inaccurate and distorted.
It was a trap that had been sprung from the information from Stopped Tom.
The information that you had never trusted. Neither did your father, who warned everyone of the commanders that it was a trap.
But before then, Toms's intelligence and information had been good, and they thought Tom had turned his cloak to your side, with the promise for his head to remain firmly attached to his head. and to remain on the Stepstones when the war was over.
Now a thousand soldiers were dead. Men who walked right into a trap.
The Brotherhood's forces were growing more and more desperate as islands were cleared and sacked and destroyed by the angry Ironborn and Dornish.
They knew that mercy, after such inhuman acts at Skull Island, when they attacked under a peace banner was never going to happen.
That Summer Islander did not understand such a cruel act was forbidden in war…
You enjoyed watching the Ironborn drown him to their Drowned God. It was as much justice as you would get for the loss of so many good men.
But here… you would be sure to see justice served, and it was much more personal.
You walked up to Tom, and smirked, throwing him over a cooked chicken leg. "Your last meal Tom. I expect you to savor it."
Tom smiled. "You enjoying this boy?"
"Eat." You said.
"Can't really eat with my hands bound." Tom smirked.
"Than eat like a dog." You replied.
Tom bent over and tore a piece of chicken with his teeth. He chewed and he swallowed it with difficulty. "You know, if your father was here, he would have killed me."
"He's too busy helping his men burying the dead. And he knows you will die tomorrow." You replied.
Tom laughed. "I'm not scared of dying by his hand, Arstan… You know that. Whatever gods may see fit to judge me, they will only see a man whose ambitions could not be contained. I'll be free from your grasp. After all, you can only kill me once."
You did not move. "Yet when you die… you will be forgotten by all. Your name erased from all who know it."
"Ha! My name is cemented in the minds of all who fight here. The rage… the anger, those who admire me… and even those who hate me, like you." He stated. "History will remember me, if only because my story was grand enough to remember… a mercenary who dared to try to be a king. To join his brother and sisters in arms, to put the rightful heir of the Iron Throne onto his rightful place."
"Delusions will get you nowhere." You replied.
"Delusions until victory is gained Arstan Arryn… You may be winning the war now… but you not won yet." Tom replied.
"And you will never know how that history will play out." You stated. "But I will."
You left Tom, and hope he choked on his food.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Jeyne The Old Mother… for being an enemy of His Grace Jaehaerys the Second of his Name, and for killing a man of his army… I sentence you to death." There was a pause from your father.
"Spotted Tom… for being an enemy of his Grace Jaehaerys the Second of his Name, and for giving false information that led to the death of his men… I sentence you to die." Your father stated as Rickard Stark drew Ice.
The young Northman was alone, without his father now thanks to those two.
All the commanders were there to witness it, Ormond Baratheon, Jason Lannister, Ser Gerold… and countless others.
Even Quilleon Greyjoy was there. He had requested that his men drown them, but Rickard beat him to your father's heart and thirst for vengeance and justice.
Beheading them was too quick, but your father wanted it to be done quickly. Rickard would swing the sword.
"Do you have any last words?" Your father asked.
Tom smiled. "You'll all die far from your home, and his Grace will take what is his."
Jeyne said nothing, but she bowed her head in fear. For a moment you thought you saw water leaking down from her legs.
"Rickard… Pass the sentence." Your father ordered.
Rickard did, and with two swings of his greatsword, they were dead.
It was over.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where do you go:
[]With Jason Lannister: He is going with the Greyjoys and his Fleet to Harass the Disputed Lands coast, to starve them of ships and to force them to defend everywhere.
[]With Your Father: Your father is leading an assault on the last stepstone island of the Northern Stepstones… Grey Gallows.
[]With Lord Baratheon: He is taking the Royal fleet on a mission to hunt down the remaining Stepstone Fleet, and destroy them.
[]With Ser Gerold: Lord Baratheon gave him a mission. Head to Bravoss, and capture Ironfinger, before he can deliver more gold to the Blackfyres.
AN: Enjoy

Clearly the plan with Ser Gerold will include the use of a wagon covered in sheets of plywood that are nevertheless 110% arrow-proof.

Or just walking into the Iron bank, asking for our man, take him, prisoner, jump out the window into the canal, fight through the horde of Bravos' who will try to stop us, and escape on a friendly merchant vessel that just so happens to be there to take us to safety...

But then that would take away the point of a stealth mission... Where you want no one to know it was you.

We aren't of much use in a stealth mission and going to Braavos now where we don't have the option to negotiate with the Bravoosi Leader(Forgot what his title is) where we would actually be useful considering our Legendary Diplomacy skill isn't really a good idea I think.
Neither do we have enough experience in naval warfare to be of use in any ship to ship combat either. So Lannister and Baratheon are also out.
I say let's stick with Jon and the other Vale forces where we can actually fight and bond with them for the future, not to mention we should be better at fighting on the ground then on a ship but there is also the opportunity here for us to get some mentionable achievements out of it in conquering Grey Gallows.
[X]With Your Father: Your father is leading an assault on the last stepstone island of the Northern Stepstones… Grey Gallows.
Also @Magoose What has Arstan been doing during those 5Months time-skip?
It's not really a short amount of time so did he spend it improving his martial and combat skills in general as Jon and Gerold would probaly force him to? Was he stuck in limbo or will we get a update at some point mentioning it or even a vote as to what he spend those months doing? 🤔

In the next update, there will be a roll that will show what Arstan has been doing in the time.
That is a training roll and a socialization roll for his vassels and friends.
