The Room of the Captain of Guard

[eytank49752]

"The Lannisters cannot be trusted, and the Starks are men of honour who would not betray their King. When does Dondarrion plan on acting?"

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

"The Starks have betrayed a King before. Dondarrion would not risk everything he has if he did not think it could work. This could mean lordships for our kin, for myself and perhaps the Handship for you when our Lord Father passes on. Moreover, if Michael does not have issue, it could mean the crown for my own sons, through Becca."

"I know he wants to move soon, and has asked for our support, but I do not know exactly when he wants to strike."

[The Smith]

OOC: He wants the raising of the troops to start as soon as possible. Already I have a bit of a surprised planned... (Just thought I'd clarify this as Dondarrion was so kindly kicked from the convo :-P)

Dondarrion enters the room. Breyn nods and says, "Lord Dondarrion, my brother has informed me of your plans. If you have the support of who you say you do, then indeed you have force enough to take the throne. I must speak to you of several matters before hand though. My Father is quite ill, so it would be better if you offered the position of the Hand to me. Though I am young, I have seen much, and will very soon be Lord of Runestone and Warden of the East."

"In another matter, we cannot trust Lord Baldwin Lannister. If we told him of our plans, he would quickly move to warn the King, have us all be named traitors, and replace you Lord Dondarrion as Hand. Once you have captured King's Landing though, you should negotiate with the Lannisters. Perhaps offer them Storm's End in exchange for their support."

"The Rose and the Wolf will not be turned to our side though. House Tyrell is too close to the throne with the marriage of their daughter to the Crown Prince, and House Stark is alligned with the Baratheon line. We should therefore wait until the Tourney is over and the majority of Northmen and Southrons leave King's Landing."

"What think you Lord Hand?"

[eytank49752]

"I have also heard a rumour that the King has disapeared from KIng's Landing. What do you know of this?"

[The Smith]

"The King has left King's Landing with a few hundred knights. Where he is gone, well, I have no clue, but I assume he has assumed the plot. As for the time to act, well, I have a bit of a plan for the melee, heh..."

[The Smith]

OOC: Can I get an OOC answer from you about this? I'm trying to create a fair and even split between houses so we don't get a one-sided war, heh. You won't be alone in the fight but I need an answer because I'm going to write up a bunch of long things after that.

[eytank49752]

OOC: House Royce will agree to back the Hand with the amount of troops you ask. The Hand would of course have to agree to name me Hand as soon as he becomes King though.

[The Smith]

OOC: Right, sounds good.

[eytank49752]

"Good luck my liege."
