[QUOTE="Cor Azer, post: 5614582, member: 870"] The rainstorm kindly holds off until the House Vantri and House Crelling group is on the road for a few minutes before closing in. When it does however, it opens in a torrent that quickly leaves the ground a muddy mess and most of the group drenched beneath sodden cloaks. Only Ser Gough's lady and her maid-in-waiting are spared, seated comfortably and dryly within their covered wagon. Conversation is kept to a minimum; Ser Gough only relates two stories of his daring in charm, but thankfully, the splatter of rain keeps most everyone else from catching more than a stray word. By late afternoon, the worst of the storm seems to pass, the rain dropping off to a faint drizzle. "Now, as I was saying," drones Ser Gough. "Ser Terald is known for two things - his castle and his sword." "He doesn't have his sword anymore, Ser," interrupts Wes. "His brother stole it." "To be sure, to be sure," agrees Ser Gough, "Except, what if he got it back?" Not waiting for an answer, the portly knight continues. "Now, it's a terrible family scandal of course, brother slays heir and wife, steals sword. Horrible. Just horrible. Still, can you imagine a man, a knight... a husband and father! not doing everything in his power to lay justice at his murderous brother's feet? The Warrior would not allow it!" Ser Gough stabs a chubby finger out in front of Ser Jarl, "But now, here's my thinking. If he succeeded. If he did find and kill his brother... would he make it public? I wouldn't. Keep that family tragedy in the past. Seek justice, yes, but the family's honor must come first, and that means keeping your nose out of scandal." Further back, Haken shook his head. To Robin beside him, the guard whispers, "That resembles no honor I've heard of." Unaware, Ser Gough continues. "But now Ser Terald has his sword back, but he can't keep it. No, it just opens up old wounds, if you'll excuse the pun. So, he holds a tourney! Oh valorous knights do tilt for his most precious prize - the sword he cannot keep." Ser Gough nods confidently. "That, Ser Jarl. That is the prize we seek - no less than a Valyrian steel -" The knight's triumphant conclusion is cut off by a shrill scream further ahead on the road. A wretched and pathetic cry of pain - inhuman - blares out, piercing through the light mist that stills hangs in the air. [/QUOTE]
