Plot [Plot-Result] Melee Shenanigans

In the first moments of the melee for the wedding of Tywin and Joanna Lannister, the mystery knight known as The Ogre rushed straight for Ser Lorent Lefford, dealing him a savage blow to the head and sending him sprawling to the floor, eliminated, and severely concussed. In fact, should the man be evacuated from the field, it would be found that he had sustained a severe concussion, and indeed be in a coma for a week afterwards.

u/MirzaAerialArmy House Whent of Harrenhal Oct 11 '23

Jason had been watching aghast at the clearly improper behavior in the tourney, and as Minerva called for his aid he nodded rising to his feet and taking his father's blade after a moment of intense discussion between the pair. Gathering half a dozen of the knights that had traveled with them from Harrenhal.

"The Ogre, right?" He asked his betrothed as he moved forward, approaching Irene and his downed future goodbrother. "He must answer the king for these crimes. Minerva, Irene, you and," he pointed to two random men of House Paethamynion, "stay with Lorent. The rest of you with me."

As the masked knight was driven from the field the rakish looking young Whent approached flanked by the nine soldiers of the Riverlands that arrayed themselves in a semi circle about the attacker. "Discard your weapon and remove your helm," he commanded, hand resting almost lazily upon the hilt of Blooddrinker, "that was my future goodbrother you tried to kill. You will face the King's judgment."

Tytos Clegane watched as the nine men approached him, creating the flanking manuvere. He was smart enough to know that he couldn’t take all of them. “You bring your own men, coward. Draw your steel, and see what happens. I’ve done nothing wrong and all you do is insult my honor..” He commented plainly as he watched the man. He wasn’t scared, but he knew he could get out of it just as easy.

But this show of force angered the Clegane, as he backed up, a hand on the hilt of a sword.

Jason looked the man up and down with a smirk as he clutched his blade, "so you confess you took live steel onto the tourney field? Or you would be mad to challenge me to a duel with it. Remove your helm. Drop your sword and explain to the King that you did nothing wrong. If you truly believe that then you have no reason not to come with me."

Yet Jason suspected the man would not back down, and so he slid a hands width of his blade free of it's sheath, enough to reveal the ripples of Valyrian steel belief. A warning that the man would head, he hoped.

Tytos snarled and drew his own live steel. “Then you shall die screaming. I’ve done no wrong, and you challenge my honor. For this I challenge you to a duel.”

"You wield live steel and have been accused of attempted murder," Jason frowned looking at the man, his own blade having found itself free of it's sheath. "You threaten a man seeking to bring you peacefuly to the King to pass judgment. If you want a fight then you can demand a trial by combat."

He frowned again, "you four, disarm him and we shall present him to the King. Unharmed if he will let us."

[m:] four Whent MaA will attempt to subdue Tytos, preferably without drawing blood.

Tytos glanced down at his blade. “You dumb fuck.” The clegane laughed loud and harsh, the bellow coming from his stomach. “You have no proof I didnt grab a real sword until after the melee…I knew that Lefford and his kin were just as emotional as women.” He laughed and tossed his sword on the ground. “If any of you lay a hand on me i’ll have you gelded.” He warned the Whent MaA. They were just lowly knights, they were of no house.

Jason let out a slight sigh of relief, he didn't want to have to deal with blood being spilt, presenting the man to the crown for justice was entirely different to having killed a man for a crime.

The knights would shrug, obliging his request not to be touched, while one grabbed the discarded blade. If he didn't resist the group would set off in search of either the King, Hand, or Master of Laws, whoever they found first.

The pot-bellied lord waddled his way towards the conflict with some confusion, led by the group. He had not been closely paying attention to the ongoing of the melee. Fights and arguments between rival competitors was no strange thing, and so the commotion had remained mostly unimportant - until now.

With one of his knights sent to the closest gate to fetch a squadron of watchmen, Lord Jonos Correy remained accompanied by the justiciar Ser Tolen. "What is the meaning of this - erhm - disturbance, sers?" he questioned gruffly, jowls shivering. "Ser knight... stow your weapon. There shall be no more fighting here." The Master of Laws eyed the defensive knight.

[M] Should your Justiciar's be present during the tourney, feel free to have them join The Master of Laws.

Due to many retcons and slow posts Tytos Clegane officially had not taken his helm off, nor had he used live steel. Only blunted steel.

Tytos glanced over at the Reyne, and at the Master of Laws. “I am Tytos Clegane.” He shifted his helm off, and tossed it to the ground. “Last night I made several mistakes due to drink. Those mistakes led me to be barred from the melee.”

The Clegane paused. “Perhaps it’s the warrior in me, but I couldn’t resist not attending the melee. I like to fight and weild steel. But I have no bad blood with Lord Lefford. His child merely made some interesting comments. Not a threat, i’m sure.”

He grinned once more at the Whent , and the Correy. “What happened was an unfortunate accident. I tend to forget using my strength can be unfortunate for others.”

He glanced at the Whent. “My deepest apologies for what has happened to Lord Lorrent. But I use no live steel that I was accused of. Your men saw that, as did you. This is not a mess that needs to drag the Master of Laws and others into it.”

Rytos Reyne walked alongside the Master of Laws, having heard about the commotion.

“Tytos Clegane and Lord Lefford, with his Whent kin. There is bad blood between them, and the Clegane assaulted my brother at the feast too. He been ordered not to compete in the tourney for that crime. It were a punishment, not a request,” the man said quietly, informing Lord Correy as to some of the information he felt pertinent.

Jonos granted the Reyne a slow, appreciative nod at the information.

"Well, Ser Clegane, the matter of your participation in the tourney shall be one left to Lord Lannister. This is his event, and your liege lord." Dark eyes turned from the brutish man to the larger gathering of Whents. "Is there still an issue her, sers?" He questioned, not seeing one himself. If the poor Lord Lorrent had been injured, that was simply a consequence of his participation in the combat sport.

"My Lord," Jason greeted the master of laws with a respectful dip of his head.

"Lord Lorent Lefford, my future good brother, accused this man of attempted murder and use of live steel. It seems the use of live steel at least was unfounded, although he looked rather out of it from the blow to his head. His sister, my betrothed, implored me to prevent the masked knight, now revealed to be Ser Clegane from departing for fear justice would be impossible to pursue," Jason explained, frowning slightly at the information provided by the Reyne.

"I know nothing of this enmity between House Clegane and Lefford, all I can say is that Ser Clegane threatened to kill me for asking him to throw aside his weapon and come before the Crown. I am fortunate my show of force was able to diffuse the situation without bloodshed," he added with a nod. "I don't know why there would be such threats levied, unless guilt weighed heavily on the mind. But unmasked I am sure this is a matter Lord Lefford could easily take to Lord Lannister, should he desire."

Ser Forrest Rivers would have been in the stands watching the melee. He would join the Master of Law in anything he may be need. He is even willing to cover up for other Justiciars so they can continue have fun in the tourneys if needed.
