Lord Oswyn entered the establishment, realizing that he had not been to the brothel since his victory in the tourney 20 years go. Things had been simpler that, at least they had seemed that way to a young knight.
He approached Tania, nodding to his own brother as he departed.
"I've come for a task, my lady." he requested, hoping this game and some merriment would take his mind off his current troubles.

"Lord B. Always good to see you again," said Tania with a smile, "The girls have missed you. To what do we owe the pleasure?" She asked.
"Lord Oswyn," she said as he approached, reaching into her jar of available tasks, before selecting one, "it says... Spend two days and two nights begging in Flea's Bottoms."

"I've heard about a party that begs my attendance, and they say that you're the Lady a man's got to see to get in," he said, with a winning smile.

"You've got to complete your task in order to attend." she replied, "Do you think you can do that?" She smiled coyly.

"I've bested a challenge or two in my day, and I think I may be up for a few more," he said with a laugh. "What did you have in mind?"

Oswyn grimaced, but took the challenge with thanks, departing.

"Lord Gwayne welcome," Said Tania, with a smile. She reached into her bowl of tasks, and pulled one out, "In order to attend," she read from the card, "You must rob the richest man you know, and host a dinner for the poorest man you meet." She showed him the card to prove that it was what it said. "Ser Donal, welcome..." said Tania, "You seek entrance I suppose?" "Ah.. well you must complete your task in order to attend the party," Said Tania to Crawley politely. Gwayne winced. He was not comfortable with performing unchivalrous tasks like that. His honour had been important to him, always. He was beginning to question whether it was worth attending if he had to do something vile. "As you wish," he said with a sigh. |

"What do you mean like a true knight," Crawley says with something like indignation, or possibly indigestion. He scratches at his chin, then gives Gwayne a sideways look. "Wanna trade?" he asks, indicating his scrap of paper. Crawley's question was like a lifeline to Gwayne. Robbery was a vile and criminal act as far as he was concerned and it didn't matter who the victim was. He had stood vigil before, ten years past, and could surely do it again for a longer time. And Crawley seemed likely not to be troubled by the act of theft. "If that is within the rules, I should be glad to," he replied before glancing at the woman. "Mistress, is that permitted?" |

Crawley grins broadly. "Yer a real lifeline, ain't you!" He throws his arms around Gwayne in an unsolicited hug, sure that the awkwardness of the moment will distract Gwayne from anything else. And if his hand strays down to cut loose Lord Hightower's purse, the richest man he knows, surely no one will notice?

"It is most certainly NOT permissible" Tania replied, "Complete the task given to you, or none at all"

"Lord B." Said Tania reaching into the jar and removing a task, "it says, show mercy to one who deserves it not."

For the first time in a long time, Lord Baratheon was at a loss for words. His mouth hung agape for a moment, before he recovered himself. "I.. suppose I shall have to find someone undeserving of mercy, then," he said. "You haven't murdered anyone recently, have you?" he added with a wink.

Tania smiled, "Not recently milord, but there's no statute of limitations on murder," She winked back, "Best of luck to you milord. Come back and collect your key when you've finished."

"Thank you, my lady. It's a pleasure as always," he said with a wink, before leaving the brothel and heading out into the city.

Gwayne sighed. He had no notion how to go about robbing somebody. He knew of only two men possibly richer than himself and neither were men whom he could rob without causing a great deal of trouble. "Never mind then. I fear I may have to retire from the lists," he said to Crawley and Tanya. "But I shall give it some thought first. How long do I have?"

Hope you all are well and happy.
