Healer's Band Field Hospital

[Lilith Royce]

The Healer's Band, joined by Lilith Royce, begin to assist those hurt or dispossed by the fall of the comet. There is misery everywhere.

Prince Andry Baratheon leads a long convoy of wagons from Kings Landing containing food, water and tents seeking to help those in need.

Once he reaches the healer's camp he directs his men to parcel out whatever aid they can.
The sight of all the suffering and wounded makes his usually happy demenour grim with purpose.

Lilith hailed Prince Andrey, "Welcome, your highness, good to see you and your supplies here. Tell me how the rest of the country fares. We seem to be able to help a bit here but I know the situation is worse elsewhere. Is there anyway we can assist? Our healers are all well qualified to heal and run larger aid organizations."

Prince Andry nodded to Lady Royce. "My Lady. I'm afraid this is our first stop. I have heard only sketchy reports from the Reach and none at all from Dorne. Princess Emelia is too practiced at going it alone it seems, to even ask for help" he smiled sadly at her offer of assistance. "We are here to help you rather than the other way around. I did not doubt your skills at healing, Lady Royce. But a healthy man or a sick one needs fresh water, food and blankets" he pointed at the wagons. "That's the help I have brought. One we have handed out what we can, I will head to the Reach and see what I can do there."

[Lilith Royce]

"It must have been a long journey. Stay for the night and I'll show you around camp, show you where supplies are needed. I had been just about to write to the Hand to ask for help and we can compare notes what is useful and what is not. My ravens can send messages if need be." She hesitated for a moment, "I would travel with you to the Reach and other places if that does not interfere with your highness's plans. We can travel hard and fast and with just a few assistants, I can set up field hospitals and stations that could help many."

She then led him of the tour of the neat camp. Families were camping in a field near the site, huddling under tents often constructed of old blankets and bed linens. Some individual tents had their own cook fires but there was also a large communal cookfire with an enormous cauldron of an anonymous stew. One cook was carving up what seemed to be venison to add to it, another was chopping rutabagas and carrots. Another area was being used to treat the wounded. Behind them lay an array of patients, some alert and obviously recovering, others moaning from their pain. Yet another area was set up by a small stream to provide water for the camp. "No washing of clothing except what gets used in the field hospital for the stream is small but at least it continues to provide our drinking and cooking water," said Lilith pointing out the features of the camp.

"If you and your band wish to join us to the Reach then you are of course welcome. I warn you that it may be dangerous. Desperate men are capable of anything as they feel they have nothing left to lose. I am taking several dozen men but you should know the risks"
He nodded as he walked through the camp. "You have organised yourself well. I must say I have been disappointed with the response so far from the stormlords. Each has scrambled to look after their own and has left their neighbour to suffer. I have heard stories of some lords selling food and water at extortionate prices to those in dire need" his face took on a stern and grim look "I shall investigate those rumours once I am able. I will not stand for the lords of the realm blackmailing each other in such despicable ways"

[Lilith Royce]

Lilith nodded at this. "The dangers outside of the Stormlands are great but I think the need it great too. All the members of the Healer's Band are trained warriors as well as healers. I will select the most capable fighters amongst us to accompany you. As the camp here has already been organized and we can run it on a half staff with help from some of the refugees themselves. When would you like to leave?"

[theother]

"I would like to leave as soon as possible, Lady Royce. To use terms you may know, the longer a boil is left to putrefy the more painful the lancing is. These people need help now, not in 3 months time. We will give out what aid we can here and leave on the morrow for Sun House"

[Lilith Royce]

Lilith nodded and they began to discuss the specifics of the aid mission.

The next morning Lilith, Georg Reeve, the captain of the Riding Dead, and eight other fighting members of the band, gathered gear and readied themselves for the journey. They brought two light and travel worthy carts of supplies, one for medical needs, the other for basic supplies for themselves and for setting up camps for those found homeless along the route.

With great reluctance, Lilith sends her baby daughter Belinda back to the Eyrie with a wetnurse to care for her. She also sends a raven with a short note and hastily embroidered handkerchief to her husband to let him know what she was doing.

[Lilith Royce]

Even without Lilith to lead them, the Healer's Band works tirelessly to help the people. By the end of the month, numerous people have gone back to their homes or have been resettled.

A wagon with a chest of gold in the back comes into camp, this time escorted by Ser Anslem Flowers.

[Percy Rivers]

OOC: You take him Lil' he is yours.

Prince Andry Baratheon and his party trot into camp, seeking more supplies and aid for Sun House.
