While Helga & Artos got reacquainted, Donnel noticed a small face peeking in the ale house window. The face had the long angular features of house Stark.* (15) Donnel guessed that this was Jasson Snow, Lord Artos’ bastard son. Upon being noticed the boy slipped away. Donnel not wanting to disturb his Lord knew of a back entrance & made for it.* (16) He would fetch the boy & surprise the parents. Lord Artos & Helga noticed Donnel’s departure as well as 3 of the 4 freeriders leaving by the front door. Helga couldn’t explain it but felt Jasson was in some danger!* (17) Helga turned to Artos & said “I’m in need of fresh air”. When she turned to leave the fourth freerider was standing before her & their table He bowed to Lord Artos & said “M’lord forgive me but I’ve heard you’ll be traveling north & might be in need of swords. My companions & me be master less at the present & could serve you well M’lord”. Helga tried to push pass but the freerider merely stepped in front of her stating “N’ what’s yer name good lady?” Helga now angry says “My name & my business is my own… now out of my way!” She pushed past the freerider & was gone without another word. Lord Artos says to the freerider “Forgive my … friend but if you present yourself to Ser Benton Cassel tomorrow I’ll leave word of your coming. If you meet his & my sworn sword’s approval you may ride north with me.” Seeing the freerider’s companions gone as well as Helga & Donnel leaving, Artos decides to keep the leader busy. Artos says with a smile “Sit, drink with me & allow me to buy!” All the while wondering what was happening outside.* (18) Donnel walked through the kitchen. The cook only smiled & waved him on.* (19) Once outside the noise from inside & from the Market Square appeared muffled. The sworn sword let his eyes adjust to the darkness & his other senses to his surroundings. His life depended on this very thing many times before. He knew the boy was out here but where. Try as he might he could not see or hear him.* (20) Then from behind him he heard “You’re that man who was sitting next to father aren’t you” said a quiet voice… a child’s voice. Donnel with his hand on his sword turned slowly around & said “I am & you are no doubt Jasson… Jasson Snow, Artos’ son.” The boy merely nodded. Donnel judge the boy’s apprehension due more from the fear of being caught & what his parents might say than any fear of him.* (21) He decided to save the boy the embarrassment of a public scolding & told the boy to wait right by the back door. Opening he door & shouting at the cook “Bring Lord Artos here at once & tell him I have his son!” Donnel heard the cook leave & he shut the door. He & the boy would wait. Helga left the tap room behind her. She quickly realized that one of the freeriders stood just outside the door. She closed it quickly then headed for the back as she couldn’t see the other two swordsmen or Jasson. She stopped before going around the corner of the ale house. Her eyes briefly meet the freerider but she stared him down & he turned away walking in the opposite direction. Helga a raider by birth slipped quietly into the shadows!* (22) 15.) Donnel has a great success on his spot check (the RPG rewards you for rolling higher than he DC- the higher the roll the greater the success- in this case making out the details of the boy’s face! 16.) Donnel succeeds on a knowledge: local skill check & remembers this ale house has a back door. 17.) Helga has The Blood of the First Men which gives her intuitions on the status of close family members. 18.) Here no rolls required- just let the players roleplay with the freerider. 19.) Donnel’s Favored Feat comes in handy again as the locals know him well as Lord Willam’s man. 20.) Here Donnel failed his Spot & Listen checks. 21.) Donnel succeeds with a sense motive check. 22.) Helga succeeds in both a intimidate & hide in shadow checks.I decided to put in Helga's dream from the preious post as it will come into play in the future. More to post later.
