House Longshore Event - The Eagle Swoops to Conquer

[Reader]

Longshore – Mallisters
Reparations for House Longshores reaving, and a personal grudge, bring Lord Mallister to House Longshore's lands, demanding gold or blood to recompense the Riverlands for the wrongs he lays at the Ironborns' door. The white eagle on purple of House Mallister fills Longshore lands as the Lords of Seagard attempt to reassert their authority and role as the shield of the Riverlands against Ironborn depredations.

Ferris assists by providing advice, but his sickness ravaged body prevents him from travelling.

[url=dp bonus die with special ability][/url]: 2d6 11 (holy cow! this adds 9 to the result of 15+ 2 from status+2 from Ferris so 27 (4 dos))

Hearing of news Yoren swiftly takes measures to rally the smallfolk to the strongholds. He sends out letters to close by lords to relay the information he wants to be relayed, then he makes ready for war...

[OOC: excellent stuff. Remember to note your desired +1B earned in your personal forum. Inspired by the Red God and destiny, you might have worn yourself a few converts!]

[Athelstan]

Athelstan looks for the Mallisters either Lord Petyr or Ser Jaime it matter not which one, but the reminder of chains around his wrists is still there as the moves them and enjoy a bit of respite before challenging the champion of House Mallister.

"
Lord Mallister, you save me the time to go find you and challenge you in your own lands, but you will pay more than reparations for what you have done"
smiling his wolfish smile "
I challenge you lord Patyr to a duel, and let world see that I have not only bested you and your son once, but I shall best you twice"


[ooc]Waiting to confirm something with reader to continue beyond this point[/ooc]

[Yoren longshore]

Standing tall at the front of his line, his plate shining Petyr Mallister looks like a proper commander. With great confidence he motions for his axe and shield: "
You insolent whelp. I'd love to take your other eye out of your face, but I want you to see the tormented look of your people as we raze your lands and put them back to their rightful owner: Me!"
With ease he takes his battleaxe, arms himself with his sword and walks to meet athelstan in the middle between the battlelines.

Petyr attemts a second time to breach Athelstans armor, but still to no avail.

[Yoren longshore]

With the last staggering blow Mallister falls to the ground: "
Stop! I surrender! Kinslayer, I surrender!"

OOC: reached max cap on wounds. Now reader will have to do the battlemap... wnd determine whether the son pays the ransom..

[Athelstan]

Athelstan has some ironborn men carry lord Petyr to a nice cold moldy cell and stripped of his belongings to avoid unnecessary problems, but not ready to leave just yet the son stands among the Mallister men and Athelstan calls him out, in the odd chance that he will accept to face him now or he will have to search for him in the battlefield later

"
Come now Ser Jaime Mallister, this is foolish, remove your men off our lands and pay a ransom for your father, or stay and fight me as your father did, so I can show you how the Mallisters are nothing before ironborn steel."

[Reader]

[OOC: this needs a retcon I'm afraid. We can start from round 1.

- Axe fighter II needs you to drop all bonus dice before rolling.
- Axe fighter II drops battleaxe damage by 1 when used (see house rules).
- Lord Petyr should really have been using fatigue from round 1.

I suggest starting again from round 1 with Petyr being piloted as if he's a PC - if necessary a PC from another house can pilot him or I will]

[Athelstan]

That is fine, battle axe damage is -1 and can restart combat as you say.

[Yoren longshore]

I'm fine with it, anyone wish to be a mallister for a day?

[Reader]

[OOC: you'll need to roll 1d7 twice and drop two random dice from your attack as you're using long axe fighter II, sorry.]

[Athelstan]

[ooc]I rather then just roll normal, why 1d7. Where does the drop 2 random dice come from? I need explanation since I don't see anything really in the House Rules about that, or maybe I missed it[/ooc]

[OOC: No problem, see below from core rules!

Axe Fighter II - "
Whenever you are armed with an axe and roll a Fighting test to attack a foe, you can sacrifice all of your bonus dice to threaten a bloody wound."
(GoT version)

"
Whenever you make a Fighting test to attack using an axe, you can sacrifice all your bonus dice before the test to deal additional damage."
(updated pdf)

Your 7d6k5 includes bonus dice, so rolling 1d7 lets us discard two random bonus dice without forcing a complete reroll.]
