Dark wings, dark deeds. Roland was apprehensive as he watched Ser Marlon of Kingsbridge prepare for his match against the ill-reputed Lord Lothston. Ser Marlon was one of the tournament's dark horses, and it vexed Roland to think that his comrade's progress might be ended by chicanery. Roland had investigated the talk regarding Lord Lothston, and was confident the man was up to no good - he had hard as much from Blackwood men-at-arms, soldiers who had little incentive to spread such tales. D8 - Manfred Lothston Joust Awareness: 3d6 6However, if Lord Lothston was intent on skullduggery, Roland was too far back to determine any ill deeds. If the tourney master was not alert to knavish tricks then Roland would be of no use in pointing them out.

Like Roland, Daeron was interested in seeing the outcome of the match. He too had heard that the Black Bat of Harrenhal had done suspiciously well in the tourney for a jouster of middling talent, and now that he was facing a Brother of the Companions, he was especially interested in seeing the match.

Ser Aemon joins the companions in watching, giving extra attention as Daeron and Roland suggests that foul play may be ahead. Notice: 4d6 11

It is plain to see that nerves must have overtaken Ser Marlon, and though Lord Manfred delivered a very solid blow, the young knight advancing as far as this on his very first tourney would have been embarrassed by a quantain's sandbag given his unsteady seat in the saddle. If there is any foul play by the hands of Lord Lothston, none of the observer spy any hint of it, and it would have been wholly unnecessary, too.

Roland's shoulders slumped.
"Scarce enough there to call the matter one way or the other, but my thanks to both of you for lending your eyes. Let us ensure that Ser Vardis is well and that it is just his pride that is hurt. I've seldom seen him ride so poorly, such nerves won't overtake him again now that he's experienced such an occasion. I still trust the men I spoke to, but let us focus on congratulating him for his worth performance in black circumstances. He has stoutly defended Megelle's honour. Thanks to Lord Starling, all know Lord Merryweather for the cur that he is."
