Bloodshed in the Capital

**The Mad Skylord** · June 03, 2016, 06:28 PM

On the orders of the King, Ser Bronn and the Goldcloaks assigned to him begin the lockdown of the city and the capture or slaying of any Tarth men present. Companies of Goldcloaks jog down the streets in columns, their spears glistening in the sun. The Peasants are surprised to see the actions taken, and cluster to watch the ranks of soldiers spread throughout the city.

[OOC: Oz has said Tarth will come quietly and stand the trial. You can proceed to that, you won't meet resistance.]

**Zeus Almighty** · June 03, 2016, 07:10 PM

Ser Criston Tully arrives in Lord Tarths quarters, 8 men aside from Tully fit in the room. He looked at the Lord and drew his sword, placing its tip on the ground.
You stand accused of treason. You took our Commander. Our Lady Commander Tarth. I may be our Rock but she is our soul. And you kidnapped her. What did you think would happen? Boys, what do you think, end it here?

He he looks around the room for his men's reactions.

**Oznerol** · June 03, 2016, 07:15 PM

"Do not dare to place a hand on me, Tully"

He simply sets the blade aside with a gesture of his hand.

"If I stand accused I will defend myself on trial. Your puny words are a waste of time. Now, bring me to the court or be gone"

**Zeus Almighty** · June 03, 2016, 07:21 PM

He places a gauntlet clad hand on Tarths chest.
You move when I say so. Cristons eyes steady, the tip of his sword still on the ground. His look as cold as ice.

**Oznerol** · June 03, 2016, 07:27 PM

Tarth pushes him backwards.

"Do not lay a hand on me, floppy trout! My forebears were kings when yours were handling the pigs of house Justman"

The strenght of Tarth was formidable, large as a bear. Then Boremund slaps him with all his strenght, sending Tully to the floor.

"Insolent kid, I am Lord Boremund Tarth, of the blood of the Durrandon and the Targaryen. Learn your place drooling idiot!"

His hand had been thick and hard as a castle wall. He now looked to the Goldcloaks.

"You shall scort me to the court, now. I command you that. I am your master"

ooc: +3 Charisma.

Roll for Boremund Tarth
Range: 10/20
Modifiers: +3 Charisma from Tarth, -5 for unlawful imprisonment and torture of the Lady Commander
New Range: 8/20 (1 - 8 would favor Tarth)

Result: 20, Goldcloaks stand silent, none moving an inch to support Lord Tarth's request.

**Pontifex Maximus** · June 03, 2016, 07:32 PM

Seeing little else to do in the madness, Ser Ryker Frey accompanied Criston to accomplish his mission. It seemed fitting to follow a Tully, after all. Sword drawn, he stood ready to intervene should Tarth not come quietly.

**Zeus Almighty** · June 03, 2016, 07:44 PM

OOC- a tad bit much? Evidently throwing a grown man in full armor who trains with the Kingsguard on his off days to the ground? Hand forced I guess

Criston stood tall, seizing Lord Tarth by the neck. He sheathed his sword and drew a dagger from his belt. He pressed it firmly on the inside of his thigh, up by his groin.
Move again, I will slice your leg open. Unfortunately for you, bleeding out will be your next and last action.

**Zeus Almighty** · June 03, 2016, 07:50 PM

OOC- and my census taking of whether he lives or dies?

OOC: You asking for a roll to see how the Goldcloaks react? If they agree with Tully's actions or not?

How they react to my question of if we should end it here. I asked before Oz got hostile lol

**Adamat** · June 03, 2016, 07:54 PM

OOC: He wants to know if the accompanying goldcloaks support his decision to kill him

**Oznerol** · June 03, 2016, 07:54 PM

"Do you even have the guts, boy?"

Tarth said.

"Or do you think I fear you, useless crap? Spare son of a spare dynasty. Never dare to raise a hand against me"

He removed his glove and then it was obvious why the slap had been so hard. Mail. Tarth wore mail under the ample robes he wore. He then proceeds to disarm Tully. The dagger would simply be ineffective against the Stormlander steel.

"I command... you... to... obey"

ooc: +2 Duels, +3 Survival.

**Pericles of Athens** · June 03, 2016, 07:56 PM

OOC: That roll should be augmented by the King giving the direct order that he be brought for trial.

**Poach** · June 03, 2016, 07:59 PM

In response to Tully's question, the 8 men exchanged glances. Some nodded earnestly, some didn't look so sure about covering up a murder...

**Pontifex Maximus** · June 03, 2016, 07:59 PM

ooc: Let's watch the powergaming here...

**Zeus Almighty** · June 03, 2016, 08:06 PM

Tully watched his men and knew them. It made him remember his charge as quickly as Tarths actions made him almost forget them. He knew, clad in armor, he was s guilty man.

Lets take him to the King boys, he continues to resist, kill him. None of our men deserve to die for him.

And they try their hand at taking the lord

**Poach** · June 03, 2016, 08:07 PM

[OOC: He's said he'll go quietly on Steam but has gone offline now. I think you can safely drag him into the Great Hall, or into whatever trial thread Skylord makes.]

**Pontifex Maximus** · June 03, 2016, 09:07 PM

I'll throw in my two cents since it has been asked in the mod thread: Poach's post seems to imply, to me, that the Goldcloaks will generally not oppose a Kingsguard killing Tarth right here and now.

"In response to Tully's question, the 8 men exchanged glances. Some nodded earnestly, some didn't look so sure about covering up a murder..."

I take that to mean something like at least a 50% support.
