Mag's Debut

[barker520]

Sorry, you will have to get used to that. My brother and I usually dont log out and post on each others names accidentally Actually, its just him getting on and not logging out until I notice.

But Roose, I think if you're goal is to be great to the people of the north, a northern woman would be a very good idea.

[Percy Rivers]

I'm going to have to hang the most vocal rebels, and perhaps promote some respected smallfolk to things like constable or sheriff to placate some of the towns.

But the big thing, to gain a reputation, will probably be the trial of Lord Bolton.

I know, it's a shocker isn't it, but Roose needs to establish House Stark's authority.

The execution of Lord Hendry, though warranted, was not at time authorized by Roose.

[barker520]

Err... but weren't you beyond the wall for over a year or two when that happened?

But I'll stay out of it, as I have just joined, and don't really know what is going on.

[Percy Rivers]

No, Lord Hendry's death happened pretty much at the same time as Roose was disbanding the northern army.

Any other suggestions?

[barker520]

I'll just tactfully step aside then.

Roose, I know this is off subject, but my character has been on the mainland for a lot more time than most Skagosi leaders, and wants to improve relations. Do you think he could come visit or take part in putting down the rebellion if it gets out of control?

[Percy Rivers]

Definitely.

[Lord Maleagant Bolton]

Greetings Mag, it's nice to have another northmen, we have to few players here.
And Roose, a trial? you never let me know anything
But serious now, let's get a few facts straight. About Hendry's "execution", well, the thread where i started it dragged on for a few days, since Hendry and i where rarely online at the same time, so it would be hard determining when i killed him. I would say he was executed when you where still fighting in the north. And you couldn't really disagree with that.

You say this;" Lord Hendry's death happened pretty much at the same time as Roose was disbanding the northern army."
You may say that, but seeing how i killed Hendry in the secresy of the Dreadfort, Roose Stark would have no way of knowing when i killed Hendry. The last time the majority of my army knew that Hendry was alive was in the scenario called "command of the Dreadfort", where i claimed he was my prisoner, and where i claimed i would punish him. My character could(and would) claim that he killed Hendry the following day, or even the same day, and there is no way anybody could disagree with me, or prove otherwise. And the scenario was posted on april the third, as was your scenario "The Battle of the Milkwater". So yes, Mag was right, you where beyond the wall for a year of two when it happened(not really ofcourse, but i will claim it did), so you can't really hold it against me.

And let's look at it from your point of view, let's say my character will say he killed Hendry around the time you disbanded your army. If it can be proven my character killed Hendry while he had the knowledge you would return to the north, ofcourse he is guilty. But in reality, there is no way my character would have known that. Honestly, i was truly surprised when you turned up in King's landing all of a sudden. Did you send one raven to the Dreadfort, or one messenger, claiming you where back? I don't think so. So as far as my character is concerned, you where still way beyond the wall the moment he killed Hendry. If you go north, that's fine. But if your vassals have no way of knowing anything about your situation, not even if you are alive or dead, you can't expect them to wait for your "authority".

Either way i believe it was in his right to execute Hendry, for there where no signs of your return. Why would Hendry be delivered to you, where was your "justice" when Hendry took over the Dreadfort and killed all the Boltons? You where beyond the wall, so i had to defeat Hendry, so i believe it was my right to to execute him to. For all you know, i killed a traitor in your absence, why would i be to blame?

And do remember that, even though everybody thinks Maleagant is a sick bastard, he is really a capable ruler. While he did kill Hendry, he didn't harm his family, even allowing them to hold the titles and lands Hendry stole from the Dreadfort. And do know that i shed as little blood as was possible.
175 men lost to win back the Dreadfort, that's about as bloodless as it gets. And also know that Maleagant actually sold everything of value in the Dreadfort, and that he used the money and his soldiers to help the peasants.So yes, he can be a cruel man to his enemies. But so far he has shown he is a good leader to his own people, a better one than most of the other lords.

Roose, if you want to trial me, then it's your choice, but i do not believe that punishing Maleagant will give you a good or strong reputation, that's all i wanted to say. He is a strong bannerman, and it would be wiser to use him.

[Me]

As I was the Bolton guy I'll fill in what my characters were doing.

Gamlin (given to Marten still) is off in the Free Cities with a medium sized army ready for whoever wants him.

Sylas (who was given to Roose) is on Skagos though he never made contact with any nobility or anyone else. He's rather good at hiding and merely sending messages to those he controlled.

Where I have/had people (depending on Smiths level of retconning)

Ulfor and Feld were sent to protect Roose above all else and make sure that nothing bad would ever happen to him.

Maleagant can have them if he wants, Ulfor was a freed Unsullied so I've been using him as the trainer for the Bolton military.

Arya Bolton was the only one fully aware of Sylas plans and had control of the Dreadfort. Deceased.

Jyck was my main contact in KL I think he simply seised to exist.

Burt is in the King's Men his mission was to protect and possibly kidnap the King if my plan went off. I believe he also has seised to exist.

Any other questions?

[Me]

Oh and I also control quite a large vat of Wildfire. I think since it's been a few years since I started making it about enough to destroy a small castle (don't ya just love dragons?)

and the Clansmen of the Mountains of the Moon were given steel weapons and about 2 or 3 clans were loyal to Sylas. This Smith promised me would remain potent for awhile and eventually casue trouble.

These are my gifts enjoy them

[Percy Rivers]

Someone had told me you had left the game Malegeant, so I figured there would be no loss. However, if your still playing then screw that plan.

[Lord Maleagant Bolton]

Really, i wonder where that rumour came from.
No, i am here to stay. But with all the recent rebellions, you have an excellent oppertunity to confirm the authority of your house.
