## The Road to Seagard

### Summary:

Maxir and his group of warriors must escape the Loyalist-controlled Westerlands and meet with the  Rebels at Seagard.

## The Road to Seagard

Brokenose, Maxir, Minerva and Torrhen headed north, fleeing the thousands of Lannister soldiers invading their home. They were cut off, alone in a country that had just become very unfriendly. The Rebels were a thousand miles away, fortified in The Riverlands. The group began to walk.

After six hours of trekking through rolling hills, they came to the ruins of Castamere. Thirty years ago, Tywin Lannister flooded the castle to destroy House Reyne. Now Maxir Glenbain stood in the same place, his House brought low by Tywin. It was the only cover for miles, but they decided to keep walking through the night.

- By morning they had begun to set east, looking to make it over the mountains to the Tumblestone River. On one of their brief rests, Minnie scouted the area around them. She spotted a tall man in expensive armour, riding a fine horse and obviously tracking them. Torrhen showed the group how to double-back and leave false prints.

By noon of the next day, they reached Ashemark, the only pass through the mountains for fifty leagues. By now, word that House Glenbain had joined the Rebel faction would have spread to every town with a maester's carrier ravens. They entered the village cautiously, with Maxir hiding his face and his valuable sword.

- The group bought supplies for their long, long trip to The Riverlands. They made sure to pay in silver coin and to haggle - nothing to give away their class.

- But it was all for naught. Damon Marbrand, Lord of Ashemark, spot Brokenose Winston on the street. The group were escorted to the town barracks. Maxir revealed himself to Lord Damon, who had been a close friend of his uncle Cassen. Damon explained that he couldn't allow them to leave, but wouldn't surrender them to Tywin Lannister. The group persuaded him to let them go, but Damon stated that he would not lie to Tywin nor his servants.

- The group climbed a high cliff in order pass the mountains and make their way east.

A week of travel down the Tumblestone river was generally quiet. The water cut a narrow canyon through the mountains and it was generally uninhabited. They did come across a single guard post. Deciding a stealthy kill was the best option, they took a position behind some trees and assaulted the guards. They gave a good fight, but were all dispatched. Torrhen found a hidden compartment containing the officer's identification papers and some gold coins.

Entering The Riverlands, the group chose to avoid the city of Riverrun and the Loyalist army stationed there. They cut north to head to Seagard and the Rebel army.

- In order to cross the Blue Fork River and make it to Seagard, the group needed to cross the Loyalist line. Armed with the patrol captains identification papers and a haughty attitude, the soldiers let the group pass.

Three days of traveling through the wretched Hag's Mire swamp left the group soaked and miserable. It was a great relief to finally reach a Rebel camp on the edge of the mire. The soldiers brought them to the commander of the front, Lord Jason Mallister. Jason recognized Maxir right away and was glad to see him. He promised to bring them to the Eight Future Kings who would put their skills to good use.
