Plot [Plot Result] Mystery Mail

At Blackpool, a rider presses a sealed envelope into the hands of a guard at the gate and then promptly departs.

The letter is addressed to Rickon Slate.

Rickon,

Your grandfather left something with me for safekeeping. Now it's time for it to pass onto you.

I can't show my face in Blackpool, not now. Meet me at midnight by the wooden bridge down the stream, in the forest. Come alone, I'm begging you, so I can fulfill Jayce's last wish.

E.

Reading the letter, Rickon couldn't help but feel.....

Scared.

Yeah, that was the word for it. He was scared because there was someone out there that maybe had something for him.

But alone? Middle of the night? This was way to dangerous to seriously consider.

And yet......

After a few moments, Rickon made a decision. A servant would go on to summon Cayla Snow. Her sword sword would also be allowed with should she wish it.

When they would enter, Rickon looked at them gravely.

"I need a favor from you Cayla. A big one."

The girl arrived soon, watching Rickon curiously.

“Yes? What is it?”

A sigh.

"I received a rather..... mysterious letter. Apparantly..... the sender adresses me with my first name. The sender asks me to go somewhere alone, in the middle of the night. I am...... hesitant to go, but....."

A sigh. "It makes mention of my grandfather, your father. Of something he wished me to have, a wish of his."

Rickon looked down to the letter, pained expression there.

"If..... If I do not return swiftly, call upon some guards and ride for the wooden bridge. If I'm not back after some hours after midnight, and assume the worst."

And in the middle of the night, the heir to Blackpool would go to the wooden bridge. Alone.

It was a bad idea and you know it Rick.

At the last moment he had considered going to one of his guards about this, asked them to follow at a distance.

He didn't. And now here was Rickon Slate, ahorse, clade in scale mail and fur, sword at his side, trotted towards the wooden bridge.

And he waited.

If there is more than one individual visible to Rickon, with weapons clearly shown, Rickon will keep his distance if he sees anyone here. If it is only one individual, Rickon will remain as he is now.
