Especially since Simon left the Riverlands some time ago.

Don’t worry, I’m starting to suspect that Ser Simon is the bait, but that nothing will happen to him. Today. Something fatal needs to happen to him soon!

Not if Daeron's temperament has anything to do with it!

Poor Roland specifically left out of the discussions over Simon Tarly, his rival ever since his background! Still, only marginally less satisfying if he dies by somebody else’s hand. Roland goes around looking for chances to jail/kill Simon. Eustace misjudged Roland! Would be a pretty big shocker (IC and OOC) if Roland would be inclined to throw a trial of combat vs Rhys for the chance to get Simon gelded via underhanded ways, and it's the first thing Eustace wants, the other thing is what he puts on the table, he doesn't particularly care much about Simon (but he has been thinking along similar lines as Balon). Also, Roland haven't handed over a letter of credit to Daverhyl's for his safe release that they can offer to burn, nor does he have a drawback that would make that offer more enticing than normal.

Wow, Daeron is getting his ass kicked by this random NPC and trash rolls.

Wow, Daeron is getting his ass kicked by this random NPC and trash rolls. Fingers crossed you can pull it back! I blame fury, as it was a similar situation that killed Roland, albeit the virtue was on the other side. Interesting test for new fury - is it potentially vulnerable to being kited due to attacking as a greater action?

Blame Daeron holding back on fury from the start?
Kiting would probably force charging which sort of makes it "meh", you trade a lesser action for opponent having -1D, +2 Damage/DoS. Turns the 8 fury damage with bastard sword into 10 damage with furious charge, so vs AR 10, it goes from 6-14-22 to 10-20-30 for 2/3/4 DoS, but -1D to get the last set of damage. It doesn't really look like a great strategy at first glance. 5 damage longsword, it's 4-11-18 vs 8-17-26 which makes charging stronger than regular attack, so you wouldn't want to do it in that scenario.
Now's the question is if Byron is feeling lucky or if we're looking at risking defeat against vicious weapon. Might be he figures he can take one more hit like that.

Plus will make for an exciting story as we can all enjoy the political fallout. New Fury: still wondering about kiting, particularly with maneuver as then you're moved back and potentially at -2d (as Daeron's foe pulled that off once already). As the calculations above don't allow for -1d (or indeed -2d) potentially removing a DoS.

Hmm, kiting by using maneuver to push them could upend things, it's a neat trick, but you'd have to compare maneuver and push away vs maneuver and not push away to get a proper comparison. The 10-20-30 vs 6-14-22, -1D isn't a full 1 DoS on average, so output is likely similar.
On 6k4, it's 5 damage per attack on charge vs AR 10, but 1.8 vs 12. Non-charge, it's 6.48 and 4.26. Make it 7k5 and it's 11.9 and 9 vs 11 and 8.64
If you can inflict -1D on top of that, then kite vs non-kite: 6k4 it's 0 and 0 vs 3 and 1 7k5 it's 6.2 and 2.5 vs 7.68 and 5.34
Although what this does is likely making opponent go reckless to compensate, the overall trend is that more damage is better if you can score consistently high DoS, more kept dice better if you cannot. A somewhat reasonable response to kiting with maneuver is to simply wait out the -1D, although lets opponent do set for charge and you need to charge. A little cheesy would be to disengage, calm down, then move back in, then activate frenzy again.

Dial Daeron for Drama!
"Fetch a Maester..."
Pulls out Fury (and that crucial Powerful for the extra DoS!).
"... But not for me."

Bucklers wants him dead, Merryweathers wants him dead, Hightowers.....well, maybe not.
And then we could add Tarly's also depending on how certain things goes.
Anyone I missed?

They might be inclined to see Daeron's propensity for feud-making to be advantageous.
