[Day 5] Early Morning: The Frey's

[Athelstan]

Athelstan goes looking for Lord Forrest Frey at the Frey's pavilion being stopped by the Frey's men "
I'm Athelstan Pyke, I humbly request to see Lord Forrest Frey"
he hears the whisper's from those that come to see the visitors, kinslayer among other many names, as courage in groups is usually the best way to insult a man, but it was to be expected damned greenlanders, no wonder we have struggled to get along all this time.

His guardsmen lock the halberds across Athelstan's path. One of the answers contemptuously.

"
Fuck off Kinslayer. You weren't summoned, and I'm not letting you add Lord Frey to your cowardly list of victims."


He spits on the ground.

[Athelstan]

Athelstan smiles 'Well, if the rumors are true, it would just be a matter of time before Ser Benjen adds a woman to his list, which I beg to say is worse than kinslaying at least my brother was a man with a weapon and go to strike at me first and draw my blood. Wonder if you will be that brave to stop him, of course this is what the Tullison say without even giving Ser Benjen a trial, they already spread rumors and accuse him of it"
shrugging his shoulders "
Tell lord Forrest Frey, I was just here to share information and to see if he suffered no injuries on my lucky win in the joust"

[Reader]

"
None are as accursed as the kinslayer. This is known. Ser Benjen has yet to be judged by the Seven, while your base villainy has been confirmed to gods and men."


Nonetheless, Athelstan can see his mention of rumours has piqued the guard's interest.

[OOC: Simple intrigue, TN 12 to at least get them to let you speak to Lord Frey behind their weapons, failure might let let at least give a message, depending on how you handle things]

[Athelstan]

"
Look, I seek to help Ser Benjen before he ends up like me or worse, I could leave but I already know the price of being letting your enemies get the upper hand on you, lest Ser Benjen suffers the same folly, then it will be your fault."
Athelstan tries to put some pressure on the man, hoping to get his way.

The guardsmen usher Athelstan in to Lord Frey's tent, where he is kept from Forrest Frey by halberd point.

"
Speak swiftly ironborn, my family's name has suffered enough at this tourney with me tainting it by association with a convicted Kinslayer."


He regards Athelstan sternly.

[Athelstan]

"
Mean no disrespect my lord, I hope you find yourself well"
looking into the Frey's eyes "
Look lord Forrest Frey I'm only hear to let you know the Tullisons are trying to get witnesses however they can find them, even offering coin, by the end of the day they will have enough to really shame your family in a worse way than being seen with me"
Athelstan gets ready to leave "
I was here only in good hopes, that Ser Benjen gets a fair trail which the Tullisons are making sure he won't get. Under their guise of honesty they hide their true faces, be careful my lord"
pausing enough to let him think "
Today they will find enough probably to tarnish your House name some more and Ser Benjen's. I will stay no longer, I don't want you to have more problems than the ones already coming your way, but I would suggest paying the smallfolk some good coin to leave town so they can't get them to act as witnesses"

[Reader]

Lord Frey nods curtly in dismissal, not favouring Athelstan's warning with a reply.

[TN 12: awareness to read his reaction to Athelstan's speech]
