Hills and Valleys of the Riverlands

"That Dragon?!" The large man asks. "Ain't gonna come nothin' good of following a woman, I tell you!"

[Tallahar]

"What happened to Riverrun did someone steal it?"

[Lord Connor Tully]

Simon's face reddened with anger, "Plenty good has come from the Queen and her mother. Without them you would all have been killed by the Others and their wight hordes. It was those very Others who attacked Riverrun and left it a ruin. We were lucky to escape and live to fight another day. Hell, we are lucky we live this day."

Simon's voice softened, "I care not how you feel about the Queen, each man is entitled to his own opinion. I only care about finding men to serve my liege. As I said before, you will be well provided with what you need and with work aplenty."

[Flex]

"Right now I need a wench, ser whoever you are!" The large man said. "And some ale!"

[Tallahar]

"I can lift things." The man smiled at Simon.

[Lord Connor Tully]

Simon smiled, "It is Ser Simon, and I will leaving it to you to find wenches. They follow the army as usual, so you will find plenty to pick from."

"If you can lift things then perhaps you will be of some help if you are willing to do so for Lord Tully."

[Flex]

"Right then, I'm in." Large Felix said. "Though tell your lord Tully I'd prefer usin' a hammer! Bashing things is what I like doin'." Other men agreed with the large leader.

[Lord Connor Tully]

Simon hefted his own hammer, "You have have good taste my friend. If you have a horse you are more than welcome to follow along with me until I return to Harrenhal or you can report there yourself. You will find yourslf welcome either way."

Simon looked to the rest of the men, "Are there any others among you that choose work and pay over what you do now? Keep in mind, your familes, should you have one, are welcome to join you should you help in the construction works."

[Tallahar]

The simple man looked at Simon, "Can I lift you?"

[Lord Connor Tully]

Simon smiled uneasilly, "I'm afraid not good ser. But if you can lift me than you can lift stone and wood. We are in need of big men like you."

[Tallahar]

"Can I still have a sword. I've never had one and Felix told me I'd never get one."

[Flex]

Felix laughed and most of the other men lifted their arms, agreeing to come along. The women at their windows did not look amused.

[Lord Connor Tully]

"We will find something for you to do. If a sword is required then you shall have it." Simon looked around at all the willing men, "Say your goodbyes, I intend to leave soon. If you intend to go straight to Lord Tully then do so, look for the Silver Trout of house Tully. He will find a place for you. I ride for Riverrun to find men closer to the castle and get a head start on the rebuilding."

[Flex]

As none of the men had horses of a quality to keep up with Simon they told him they would follow him within the next few days.

[Lord Connor Tully]

Simon rides off towards Riverrun. Again stopping at more an more villages and hovels as he gets closer and closer to the keep. He rides along the River Road, keeping the Red Fork in sight where possible. When he comes in sight of Riverrun he continues to follow the Red Fork instead of stopping, eventually fording the river and crossing the country between it and the Tumblestone. When he is confident he has raised as much men as he can he returns to the ruin of Riverrun.

Simon looks up at it, the sight of the Tully's greatest downfall. He rides his horse to the main gate and pitches a tent to wait.
