The Gate at the Wall

[Percy Rivers]

Roose snapped his head around. "Disrespect our ally again and I'll clap you in irons." He said, his voice coldly stern.

[dienekes]

"I'm sorry m'lord." Ulfor said. "Feld is one for jokes. He means no disrespect."

[edricdayne]

Hendry Dustin looks at the Dreadfort men, smiling slightly as Roose makes the comment. He personally saw nothing wrong with a little fun.

"I bet you are right, Roose. Their full armor slows a man down, although I hope to the Old Gods that they did not bring their full armor. Steel can freeze a man faster than the cold can." Hendry said, looking around at the men. Most had thin chain mail with thick furs over it.

[Percy Rivers]

Roose nodded, still looking at the Dreadfort man sternly. He absent mindedly pulled his furs closer around his slim, adolescent shoulders.

[dienekes]

"They're holding their steels on wrong." Feld said. "Begging your parden m'lord. But for the cold you need to buy wider armor and place a layer of fur underneith it. Most of the knights don't seem to know this."

[Percy Rivers]

"I know." Roose said, pulling back his sleeve to reveal the fur underneath. "I spent quite a few years here. One learns to dress warmly or they run the risk of losing certain..." Roose said it with a stern face, but there was a slight sparkle in his eyes, "extremities."

[dienekes]

Feld nodded. "But your knights don't know. That could lead to a problem for the Southerners later. Not that it matters now they can't change their armor." Feld grinned at the boy. "You do have a sense of humor. You should let it out more before you become as stiff as Ulfor."

Beside him Ulfor grunted.

[Tallahar]

Lord Edmure Karstark with Ser Nathan Beesbury arrive at the Gate at the Wall. With them are 500 Northern riders, "We have come to serve with you Milord Stark."

[teffaron]

10 minutes after that one man walked up with a hawk on his shoulders. He said " i am Teffaron from beyond the wall, now one of the nights watch, i am here to serve you lord stark. I am only one man and have been given leave to help you on your journey.

[edricdayne]

Hendry Dustin looked over at their new companion.

"So, you're here to help us find Benjen Stark? I suppose you would know the land, seeing as you're a Wilding. Although, how can we know you wont double cross us?" Hendry asked, eyeing the man.

[teffaron]

Teffarons expression didnt change he said "you do not, but i am a man of the nights watch and you could use my tracking skills, my accuracy with a bow and the eyes of my hawk Mannok to see what lies ahead. Besides i have sworn an oath to the nights watch and they would have my head if i did anything... what should we say, unhonorable."

[edricdayne]

Hendry Dustin laughed at Teffaron's first comment.

"Okay, you can join us. We could always use another man in our search beyond the Wall."

[teffaron]

Mannok (teffarons hawk) flew off his shoulder to hunt, and the last words Teffaron said before he set of to his quarters were "So when do we set off"

[Maester Maurin]

Marten finally arrives with Walter Plumm and some other notable Knights that came with him.

"Please forgive the delay, I had some matters South." -He speaks, riding to Roose`s side, with an eager grin on his face.

[edricdayne]

Hendry Dustin looks over at the new arrival. "So, Marten Lannister finally decides to meet us. Matters in the South? Do you enjoy holding up a several-hundred-man search Beyond the Wall?" Hendry asks, badgering him for the sake of boredom.
