<strong>Location:</strong>Old Oak, the seat of House Oakheart<br/><strong>Character's Present:</strong>Lady Arwyn Oakheart and members of her court.<br/><strong>Content:</strong>Lady Arwyn receives one of her sworn knights in her hall.<br/><strong>GM Notes:</strong><br/><br/><hr/><div class="floatleft">(https://awoiaf.westeros.org/images/thumb/0/0b/Hornhillloganfelicianos.jpg/350px-Hornhillloganfelicianos.jpg)</div>Ser Garmund chuckles softly at the boy's enthusiasm. "Not everyone can have such valor. A warm holdfast and belly full of mead is a comfortable alternative to hunting bandits through mud and rain." His demeanor takes a serious turn for a moment. "Even a well-trained knight with all the arms and armor coin can buy, can still be felled by a starving bandit. All it takes is someone getting the drop on you, a lucky blow sneaking through the joint in your armor, or a zealous group of them who outnumber you. War's no game, Meryn."<br/><br/>Lady Arwyn listens to Joran's counsel diligently and gives him a nod of approval. "It appears that Ser Carn may have outgrown his usefulness. You have the right of it, Brigands cannot be allowed to plunder my lands with impunity. Return with him to his lands and see if you can solve this problem for us. Take him with you for protection." She says with a motion towards Ser Garmund at the far side of the room. "Do what you feel is necessary, but be careful. I will not have it said that House Oakheart conspires with lawless brigands."<br/><br/>On that note, Lady Arwyn rises to retire from the great hall. She happily takes the mead from Ariyana and gently strokes a loose hair behind the young woman's ear. Lady Arwyn had taken a liking to her, proclaiming that the girl reminds her of herself in her youth. The older servants amongst the castle seem to believe that to be a charitable portrayal of the lady's youth. "Come." She says to her lady-in-waiting. "I shall retire to my solar and require a bath." As the two walk through the hall, Lady Arwyn makes conversation. "Tell me. Has your father wrote to you of any potential matches? A young beauty like yourself should surely find a suitable husband."
