Steps of the Great Sept of Baelor

[The Stranger]

Outside the massive church, rebuilt over twenty years, and recovered from the Ironborn's vengeance.

[The Stranger]

A massive crowd of several thousand has gathered to hear the reading of a proclamation regarding King Daemon's new marriage. When the herald has finish announcing the marriage, shouting and pushing breaks out between those chanting, "LONG LIVE Queen Joanna!" and others shouting, "SHAME! and "BROTHER-FUCKER!" Soon fists, knives and clubs are flying, as the "Dragons" and the "Towers" come to blows.

[Horas]

Hearing about the growing size and anger of the crowd, Quentyn Targaryen begins assembling a sizable force of Goldcloaks to break up the impending riot. Bannen Keath, wearing a yellow cloak of his own, begins cursing at the Watch to form a line, and the five hundred troops begin marching to the Great Sept, iron truncheons at the ready, and spears on their backs should that prove to not be enough.

Quentyn surveys the scene on his arrival.

[The Stranger]

There is a roaring melee now, between the two sides, with perhaps two thousand"Towers" and Two Thousand "Dragons." The street fighters pay absolutely no attention to the assembled Watch.

[Horas]

Quentyn blows on an iron whistle, the shrill sound screeching above the melee. This was obviously not a crowd that would be reasoned with. "Do the honors, Bannen," Quentyn murmurs. Bannen begins shouting orders, and the Watch marches in between the two groups, truncheons cracking on anyone foolish enough to attack the Goldcloaks.

[The Stranger]

The melee degenerates into a three way brawl.'

(post in Battle thread if you please.)

[Horas]

Bannen kneels on the battlefield, wiping the blood off the broad blade of his halberd on the coat of a dead man. "High Septon's gotta be shitting his robes by now," he chuckles, looking back up the bloody steps at the High Sept.

Quentyn tries to frown, but smirks in spite of himself. He hides the smirk with a sleeve, then sends a subcommander off to bring more of the Watch to help clear out the bodies.

[The Stranger]

The corpses are cleared away. Graffiti litters many nearby buildings, but otherwise the streets are cleared.
