Re: (D3 - LM) Search for Iron

[Athelstan]

Athelstan only gives a quick glance to Daveth and answer "
Ser Jorah"
with a small nod of respect, but never letting Baelon of his view.

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

"
Ser Jorah. Daveth. It is good to see you both,"
Corrine greets them. "
How goes your investigations?"

[Baelon Drakeson]

Baelon waits until Corrine is a safe distance away from Athelstan, then speaks a single word.
"
Bloodriders."


On that cue, his forces split into two wings, fanning out on either side of him, putting arrows to bows and drawing a mark on the ironborn.

"
Ser Markus, please do your duty and escort Lady Corrine a safe distance back."

The last thing we need is for him to take a hostage.

"
Athelstan Pyke - you are are now considered suspect of interfering in a royal investigation and a plot on royal lives. If your hand so much as twitches in the direction of your axe, you will be killed. If you move, you will be killed. If you fail to answer the questions put to you by any royal investigator, you will be killed. If you lie, you will be killed."


[OOC: I figure this would be best handled as an intrigue, I will roll initiative when I am not posting from my phone.]

EDIT: minor phrasing details, spelling, grammer, etc.
my phone like to turn "
ironborn"
into "
trombone"
.

[Athelstan]

"
I believe your over stepping your authority, and that would be murder"
shruging his shoulders "
Also I have a right to know my actual charges against me, what is your evidence of my crime and I can demand a trial by combat"
pointing at Baelon "
Go ahead break the law and peace before your lord, and lady Marsten"
he smiles "
Unless you have actual evidence, I suggest you get off your fucking high horse and just talk, other wise my business here and with Corrine is concluded. Im only a suspect, did you treat the Blackwoods and Bracken like so too? Athelstan ignores Baelon and walks towards his horse "
Breaking the kings peace..."

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

Corrine looks around in bewilderment, and her hand finds the shard of pottery in her pocket.

Is this what he was acting suspiciously about?

"
Athelstan, is this to do with you acting strangely when I found this in the Blackwood mine?"


She holds up the shard, so that both Athelstan and Baelon can see it.

"
A shard from a wildfire pot."

[Athelstan]

"
I told you were the wildfire was, and traces of it in multiple mines and remove it for so it doesnt see miss use"
shrugging his shoulders "
Im sure there are some more shards aint perfect picking up shards, I lack an eye for such things, and I told you this. before"
exasperated "
Ill take you to the wildfire, seven hells, you do something wrong and you are always doubted, shouldnt have bothered to be honest of all my findings"


She betrayed you again, like you know she would and to the same man.)

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

"
I don't understand. You acted strangely after you saw me pick it up. If that isn't the reason for this,"
she said, gesturing to Baelon. "
... then what is it about? Baelon, what has he done?"


She looks between them both, totally confused.

[Athelstan]

"
Its wild fire and just like when you went hunting I did not like it, my apologies for worrying. "
NEVER AGAIN"
a growl "
It's wild fire, I dont touch those pieces or even the stains of it, the jars I prayed to every damned god for them not to break and about shat my pants twice and did piss my self once moving it. I rather not have that laying at anyones reach, trust me, next time Ill just leave evidence like that so some brigands or such other take it and cause havoc"

[both checks for all!]

[OOC: [url=Awareness(Empathy) - How does Athelstan feel about this?][/url]: 3d6 17 BOOM. Orokos loves me again!]

[Septon Arlyn]

[Just an aside, if Septon Arlyn sees all this happening then he will be coming to investigate, although given my previous history of rolls I might be thinking the sky is blue or something. Reader, can I get a ruling on a TN to see this? And then maybe depending on my sucess/ failure determine how long it takes me to reach these going on's?]

[Baelon Drakeson]

[OOC: Um, I just read some of the posts that were made after I indicated that I was initiating an intrigue, and I see that it was pretty much ignored. Can we back this up please? Those mechanics exist for a reason, and should not be so casually dismissed.]

[Athelstan]

Ooc: all I did was put placeholder after your initiative.

[Baelon Drakeson]

[OOC: I announced that I was starting an intrigue back on page 3, the same post where the bows were drawn, etc.

[OOC: I figure this would be best handled as an intrigue, I will roll initiative when I am not posting from my phone.]

There was a LOT of stuff posted after that.]

[Athelstan]

[OOC]You can just say it was a short organic discussion between Corrine and Athelstan.

[Several people have informed me that this is too hard a check so I've lowered it. Most of you know the trial by combat rules OOC anyway - minimum of kinght/noble status to qualify]

[Daveth Coldbrook]

Probably unneeded now, but:
[url=Search for Iron - Knowledge of Law][/url]: 4d6 13
[url=Search for Iron - Awareness (Empathy)][/url]: 3d6 13

Daveth remains attentive, but keeps his distance, keeping a wary eye open in all directions, in case the Ironborn has allies coming from elsewhere.

(OOC - With full knowledge of the irony of me saying so in this venue, I think Baelon was talking more about all the OOC back and forth, and not the perfectly legit IC back and forth. )
