The departure (Closed)

[Torin Lannister]

While his visit had been.....interesting, it was time for Torin to depart and make his return journey to his home. It would be good to be back in Casterly Rock, he had missed his own bed among other things. He had much to say to his father concerning Emre and The Vale but also his satisfaction in the beautiful Lena, if perhaps she was holding his at arms length thus far.

Mounting his horse, the Lion took check of the pair of Knights and two hundred strong horsemen. All were ready and they made distance quickly.

It was very noted by Torin that as he passed through The Bloody Gate it appeared to be holding far more a force then when he arrived some days ago yet clearly the show of force was not for his benefit. But then what was this marshall for?

((OOC: Torin, 2 Knights & 220 Horsemen leaving The Vale and returning to Westerlands, to arrive 3/1/12))

[Torin Lannister]

While Torin had departed The Eyrie with precisely two hundred and twenty two men with him, he now rode at the head of a small army of over five thousand. It would appear The Mountain Men of The Vale had as much love for Lannister gold as most other and were willing to fight and die for it. They were savages for sure, but it was there ability to scare and murder on mass that Torin was interested in.

Not only had he purchased five thousand new warriors for himself, but the five thousand most ferocious of them. More talented then their kin if their combat style involved talent. As the Lannister Lion continued to ride, he found himself approached by a Knight of the Vale carrying message from a raven.

With an interested hand he broke off the seal and unraveled. One of the Knights at his side knew something was coming and rode at his side to find out. Sure enough it came.

"Emre wishes to march on Harrenhal, its less then a day's ride from here. My Lady Lena will be Commanding no doubt. I quite like Harrenhal. We'll do it." The Knight gave a nod before turning around to give the order to hold at the gate.

((OOC: Halting march at Bloody Gate, mercenaries purchased (5,000 Mountain Men) now accompany him))
