The Seven Kingdoms Melee

[The Smith]

The Teams begin in a wide circle space equal distince apart from each other. The order of the teams are as follows.

The Crownlands Team
Lord Emmon Barclay

Karlon Barclay- Uncle to Lord Barclay, Castellan of Sharp Point, and a seasoned soldier in his own right. He is a hand taller than his nephew (making him roughly a hand over 6 feet), with a large brown beard.

Ser Nester Rosby- A short man with muttonchops, he is a master of the sword.

Rodwell Snow, more commonly known as Mr. Wicked- A bastard born in the North, he made a career of piracy and joined to found the Seven Brothers along with Mr. Roop and Mr. Doom (Barnus Waters). His parentage is known only to him, but it is rumored he is the son of a prominent bastard.

Lord Jarmen Buckwell, the Buckwell Bull, the Beast of Antlers- Often said to be the largest man ever to wear a suit of armor in the Crownlands, Jarmen took over rule from his father, Taylor, after he was killed in the Bloody Battle of King's Landing. Standing near 7 feet tall, and extremely muscled, Jarmen is often considered a beast on the battlefield. Jarmen is a grandmaster of the axe, and easily one of the best axefighters in the realm.

Ser Ulger Gaunt- Legendary Battle

Ser Brutus Staunton- Noteworthy swordsmanship, apprentice horseriding. Also known as Brutus the Blackwing to the people of the Crownlands. He is a fairly prominent knight who wears dark plate armor and a winged helm.

Force of the Mander

Lord Tallahar Tyrell Apprentice Sword Fighting. Grandmaster Ambushing. Master Horse Riding.

Bane Karstark Master of the Axe

Ser Yorrel Serry Grandmaster of the Sword

Ser Albert Merryweather Master of the Sword

Ser Nathan Beesbury A long time fighter. I would say Expert.

Lord Seth Falgrave Grandmaster Bow and Master Sword. Master Horse riding.

Florian. Expert Two Sword. Noteworthy Horse

The Crown Defenders:

Ser Felwick "Gatehouse" Gower of the Kingsguard

Ser Tytos Blackwood of the Kingsguard - Grandmaster Sword/Grandmaster Battle

Ser Alexius Blackwood of the Kingsguard - Master (?) Sword

In a show of public recognition for the fact the King rules over all, Benfry then invites candidates to take the remaining 4 places in the Melee from the general populace. Those chosen by lot are:

Benjy Blackfyre - The Mad Lizard - Noteworthy Sword

Ser Harlan Buckwell - A minor knight who has recently joined the Kings' Men. A 19 year old but fierce youth who proudly exclaims his house motto ("Pride and Purpose!") in combat. He prefers to wield a spear when fighting and wears lighter leather & chain armour for greater flexibility in battle. His tabard bears the antlers of House Buckwell. He is Noteworthy Spear & Apprentice Horseriding

Ser Samwell Stokeworth - the third son of Lord Edwyn Stokeworth, this red-headed and freckled 17 year old chafed at the small house into which he had been born. Seeking glory and purpose he signed up for this, his first tourney, to seek his fame and fortune. Crestfallen at the new arrangements put forward by the Lord Regent he feared he'd lost his chance only to discover another chance when the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard had thrown open 4 of his places. Overjoyed at being selected, Ser Samwell is eager to prove that though he is small in stature, he has the courage of the great heroes of the past. Rather foolishly, his chosen weapon is the Morningstar. A weapon dangerous to the wielder as well as the foe. He is Noteworthy Morningstar & Apprentice Horseriding

Ser Danwell Farring - The last name drawn from the hat in the Lord Commander's lottery. The heir of House Farring is 23 years old and is known for his often morose moods and humour. An eternal pessimist, Danwell is feared more for his depressing conversations than with his skill with the sword. An adequate, if uninspired, fighter Danwell has been motivated to join the Melee by losing a bet with a friend and fully expects to die in some unfortunate manner... as he will no doubt be telling anyone unwise enough to cross his path. He is Noteworthy Sword

All the Crown Defenders will be mounted. The Kingsguard will be in their usual platemail & white cloaks.
Benjy Blackfyre will be wearing an odd mish-mash of old armour painted with the red & black of House Blackfyre.
Harlan Buckwell will be wearing leather & chain with a light helm and large circular shield, wielding a short spear.
Samwell Stokeworth will be armoured in plate and full-face helm and equipped with a Morningstar
Danwell Farring will be outfitted in chainmail & breastplate with a halfhelm and regular sword & shield combination.

All will be mounted and all will have a white cloth tied about their right arm to identify themselves to their colleagues.


Representing Dorne, and Tristeza Martell:

Timm Dayne: Legendary Swordsman.

Kardaine Ladybright: Noteworthy Swordsman.

Quentin Fowler: Legendary general

Ser Quorrian Blackmont: Tristeza Martell's brother in-law.

Adrian Blackmont: Quorrian's son, Aged 17.

Ser Rhystan Allyrion: Expert Swordsman.

Lawrence Ladybright: Kardaine's older brother (Noteworthy Swordsman).

Representing the Far Reach:

Lord Alexander Irwyn: Grandmaster Axe, Grandmaster Horse Riding, Grandmaster Battle
Ser Gilbert Flowers: Master Sword, Master Battle
Ser Torn of Blacksable: Master Long Sword, Master Battle
Ser Rodney Blackbar: Not-stated (Noteworthy?)
Ser Steffan Florent: Noteworthy Sword
Ser Oliver Bulwer: Expert Sword, Noteworthy Horseriding
Ser Osmund Hillcrest: Never stated: Noteworthy Sword?

Ironborn Seven:

Lord Felryn Harlaw, the Ashbringer - Grandmaster Sword
Lord Erik Coldiron - Grandmaster Axe
Lord Meevis Humble - Grandmaster Battle
Lord Quellon Drumm, the Beast of Old Wyk - Grandmaster Sword
Xaza of the Summer Isles - Expert Spear
Lord Alagon Merlyn, the Maelstrom - Apprentice Flail
Lord Hardon Kenning - Noteworthy Sword

Team Rivers

Graham Blackwood -- The younger brother of the Regent of the Riverlands and uncle to its Lord Paramount, Graham is irresponsible, quick to joke, and a notorious drunkard. Dangerous with a bow, less dangerous with a lance, and mildly competent with a sword. (Expert, noteworthy, and apprentice respectively)

Lord Tristane Ryger – A grizzled veteran, called “The Unflinching” by his men. Very capable with both spear and bow. (I would rank him expert in each)

Ser Brandon Rivers – The personal guard captain to Lord Horas Blackwood. Dutiful to a fault. (Previously rated Expert sword, has since killed a Grandmaster)

Torrhen Keath – Another man in the service of Lord Horas. He alternates between shadowing his Lord and doing other, less savory tasks. (Expert Axes, Noteworthy Throwing Axes)

Ser Elwood Mooton – A newly knighted prodigy, Ser Elwood is a superb swordsman and well-loved by the commons. (Grandmaster Sword)

Ser Desmond Darry -- Called the Babykiller, Darry is a famed general with a black reputation. (Legendary General)

Ser Martyn Darry -- Ser Desmond's younger brother, an outrider who earned his spurs riding alongside Tytos Blackwood. (Noteworthy sword?)

The Stormlands-
Lord Wilbert Cafferen- Grandmaster of Scouting (comparable weapon skill?)
Lord Betram Selmy- Master of the Sword
Liam Connington- Expert Sword
Ser Symon Trant- Noteworthy? Flail
Ser Rogyr Staedmon- Noteworthy? Bastard Sword
Ser Podrick Peasebury- Noteworthy? Warhammer
Ser Horas "Stinky" Tudbury- Noteworthy? Mace

Westerlands

1) Lord Maurin Lannister
2) Lord Jaymes Farman
3) Marten Lannister
4) Ser Walter Plumm
5) Addam Marbrand
6) Justin Prestor
7)Ser Terley Brax

For the Vale --
1 - Ser Roland Royce
2 - Robert Pyle
3 - Ser Jonas Waxley
4 - Lord Dortmund Grafton
5 - Ser Daven Hersey
6 - Harrold Hersey
7 - Ser Galwyn Fell

Then the next time in the circle is the Crownlanders.

I need orders from the commanders of the teams, for both immediate actions and long term goals. I do not know how much I will complete with each roll for sure.

Also if there are Mains, Seconds, Thirds, and NPCs whose stats are not listed above it would be great if you guys could throw those up so I do not have to hunt them down.

This is where all the rolling will take place, now the Melee thread in the KL is for observors and participants to reply with story as they fight.

[edricdayne]

I killed Ser Yorrel Serry in the Joust, so Tallahar needs to come up with a replacement for his team.

From the get-go, Tytos will order the seven knights to attack the Dornish knights. He will order them who to attack. He will attack the legendary general, Quentin Fowler. He tells Felwick Gower to attack Ser Timm Dayne, and Ser Alexius to battle Ser Rhystan Allyrion. He orders Ser Harlen to attack Lawrence Ladybright, and Ser Samwell to attack Kardaine. He tells Benjy to attack Adrian, and Ser Danwell to attack Ser Quorrian. (Respectively, GM Sword-Quentin?; Felwick?- Legendary; Master-expert; Note-Note; Note-Note; Note-Note; Note-Note)

Their long term goal will be to avoid the Riverlands Team, the Stormlands Team, and the Crownlands team. They will try to keep up a strong defense after their battling with the Dornish.

Tytos will try to give commands to the Crown Defenders at all times.

[dienekes]

Woohoo no North. That makes me feel proud.

[Imry Willfyre]

The Crownlands won't be terribly aggressive towards the Riverlands. They will try to secure a buffer, helping the Riverlands and Mander forces, while fighting as a group and not breaking up to fight individually.

[wookie]

ooc: Ha! I haven't actually spoken to Tytos about it, but Benfry was going to make a beeline for Timm Dayne from the off as well. Call it trying to restore some honour back to the company name

[edricdayne]

OOC: Great minds, Benfry, different reasons.

[Fel]

One very minor correction, Hardon Kenning is noteworthy with the axe, not sword.

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

The Far Reach forces also converge on the Legendary Swordsman Timm Dayne and their General Quentin Fowler. Alexander will use his axe to cut through unmounted opponents and will use his horse Ivy's Edge to Kick and Bite unmounted opponents that get in the way. Ser Gilbert, Ser Torn and Ser Bulwer will go with Alexander to attack Timm Dayne and Fowler while the rest of the troops move to keep other forces from flanking Alexander and his group.

Long term the Far Reach is looking for a temporary alliance with the Ironborn and the Mander Reach. While avoiding the crown defenders.

[The Flint]

The Stormlands will attempt to take its revenge on the Riverlanders and Valemen if the opportunity arises. They will not target the Far Reach until it becomes necessary.

[Horas]

The Riverlanders will fight whoever comes for them, not targetting any other team specifically.

[edricdayne]

The Crown Defenders will try not to attack the Far Reach men if they come into contact.

[Tallahar]

Smith could you reply replace Lord Serry with Aegon Tyrell

And Ser Nathan Beesbury with Ser Garet the Gallant.

Timm Dayne and Kardaine sign up for the Melee, and Timm Dayne alone for the joust.

What happened to that? That shows Timm only signing up for the Joust.

Not that I don't want to fight Ser Timm, I do.

Edit: I'm such a dumbass, I completely overlooked the first part.
