" From the rangers sent out within the last three days, most of their Ravens report Wildings amassing near Shadowwatch or heading in that direction, They want to cross than inlet from the sea from what it seems and come South," Gregor crosses his arms carefully, making sure not to rumple the paper he hid," The reports aren't very accurate but was can assume there are enough Wildling to cause us a problem... More white walkers have been spotted on patrols and the war in the South is... Not going well for the Lannisters and their allies, The new Greyjoy fleet slaughtered the Baratheon and Lannister fleet combined with a... Uh... Kracken. The war is coming to a close."

Ari glances at him, speeding up a bit to keep in step with his long steps,"... So life would be worse without the laws...?" She looks around tiredly," But here... Laws aren't important, brothers break their vows and people commit crimes every minute... But how in the Gods' named are these people still here if laws help everything stay together...?"

[cardon131313]

-"The Shadow Tower, the shadow tower. If they cross south they will outmanoever us. If we head out to meet them, we will be defeated. And we do not have any ships to defeat them at sea. This is grave. This is very grave."
-"We could try sending word to lord stark." Someone suggested, seeming serious. But the tone was wrong. A few rangers laughed darkly.
-"A powerful force, assisted by the minor nobles of the area could defeat the incursion. If we know exactly where they plan to land."
The question was not spoken, but several people glanced at Stephen.
-"I could try scouting them out to find out where they have planned to land."

-/-

-"Crime has allways and will allways exist, to a small extent. But what I said still applies. Survival of society is still ensured. The brothers remain loyal to each other, they defend each other. And most importantly, they defend the Wall, and thus protect the kingdoms, while the kings fight petty wars. Look at the thanks the Watch gets for that."

[CrimsonMoon]

Gregor suddenly spoke up softly," You do have a fleet," he said very very quietly, looking up. He suddenly felt light headed at what he wanted to do...

-/-

Ari pauses,"... I just feel uneasy with petty criminals protecting the realm... There aren't many 'good' peoplr left in this Gods forsaken land," she mutters, her eyes narrowing uneasy at the beehive that made up Castle Black

[cardon131313]

-"What do you mean? The watch doesn't even have a port on that side of the continent, boy."Everyone looked quizzically at Gregor. Stephen simply raised an eyebrow.

-/-

-"Oh yes, I'm sure that all those gentlemen courteously slaughtering each other down south would do a smashing job of defending the wall, and would absolutely not, in any circumstance put their interests before their duty. What's going on there?" He asked aloud. The agitation was groing extremely obvious. People were running about, brothers were not preparing to leave on patrol or sending up mending supplies, and the morning watch wasm't even near the platform that would take them to the top of the wall.

[CrimsonMoon]

" Commander," he turns toward te Commander of the Castle, pushing down his nerves and pulling out the letter he hid within his shirt," There was a letter sent instructing that only you should read... But I will summarize it simply for the whole room if you wish it," He bows his head, holding the paper out to the man at the desk

-/-

Ari frowns and murmurs," They were attacked... Or Someone was," she points at something within the castle," They look like ants... Though there doesn't seem to be an immediate threat." She frowns and bites her lips," Too bad Crowd can't roar... Than they could shake the ice off the Wall and crush anyone who came too close."

[cardon131313]

-"All rangers dismissed." The brothers walked out, leaving only Stephen behind. The commander stopped him as he was leaving. "You stay here. I don't know how to read Gregor, please sum it up."

-/-

-"Or they could be getting ready for an attack. If there had been one they would be nearer the gates or the ways to the top of the wall. Let's hurry."

[CrimsonMoon]

Gregor nods and breathes in quickly," The Greyjoy fleet has been patroling the West coast since they defeated boththe Baratheon and Lannister fleet a few months ago. They have gotten reports of the Lannister princess fleeing North but these reports have yet to be confirmed... They are close by sir, we can ask them to sail up river or... Bring the Kracken,"

-/-

Ariella nods swiftly and starts to run, glad to finally be able to do something physically exhausting... (I assumed they were walking)

[cardon131313]

-"Brilliant plan, except for the small fact of contacting the Greyjoys. How do you hope to do that? And how can we hope to entice them to assist us?"

-/-

Kindrean caught a passing brother by the shoulder, asking him what was going on. The brother shrugged "Told to get ready to move out any second now." He muttered, moving away from Kindrean.

[CrimsonMoon]

" The Ironborn don't like having their enemies killed for them... The Starks will be the first to be threatened and the Greyjoys want to tear them apart themselves," Gregor rubs the back of his head," We wound their pride and they'll come running."

-/-

Ari blinks in confusion," Where the heck will they 'move out' to?" She murmurs, stocking close to Kindrean

[cardon131313]

-"Keep talking, how do we ensure that? No, infact, get to work with Stephen. He knows the North like his pocket. I need to get to work on sharing out the garrison."
He stepped out of the room.
-"Lannister princess fleeing north? Why wouldn't she go south to Dorne?" Stephen wondered aloud. "Well, priorities. What's your plan?"

-/-

-"If another keep is threatened, the Lord Commander tries to share out the garrisons in a better way. They're probably moving out troops to defend the Shadow Tower or Eastwatch."
Kindrean led her to the commander's tower, just as he bustled out.
-"sir Kindrean! Attack on the Shadow Tower, imminent, please stay here, help with the defence, no doubt they will try to attack Castle Black while most of our men are away. Sorry for the inconvenience." The Commander barely had time to talk as he jumped on to his horse and rode out of the court, followed by a cohort of mounted brothers.

[CrimsonMoon]

Gregor turned to look at Stephen, looking nervous,"... I'm sorry for intruding," he murmurs weakly, seeming to wither as he spoke.

-/-

Ari stayed close to Kindrean, listening, watching... Calculating. She felt particularly uneasy at the rush of things... She'd seen it before at King's Landing when the Starks tried to break into the city... Some one was trying to break into the realm, and if the Brother's were this umprepared... May the Seven help us all.

[cardon131313]

-"Not at all. How do we get the Greyjoys to help us?"

-/-

Kindrean grabbed a steward, asking where Stephen was. The steward simply pointed upstairs to the Commander's rooms before disappearing.
-"Come on, girl, Stephen can tell us what's going on here. And why I've just been drafted into the Watch."

[CrimsonMoon]

" Like I said, hurt their pride.." He glances around and grabs a quill and piece of parchment," Watch-"

-/-

Ari looks suprised," But- Can the Watch do that?" She asks in suprise, looking uneasy as she follows close beind him, being forces to stay near his back as to not get lost

[cardon131313]

     -"Technically, no, but they know my weakpoint: I have a sense of perspective. Stephen! What is going on?" They had arrived at the Commander's deserted office.
     -"Well, the Wildlings seem to be about to pay a visit to the south, via the sea, while attacking Castle Black as a diversion perhaps, along with Westwatch and the Shadow Tower, I dare guess. Meanwhile this young man is going to tell the Greyjoys that their mothers are hamsters and their fathers smelt of eldeberries, in the hope that they bring a giant sea monter up the bay." Kindrean stared at Stephen for a few seconds, looking like he was hoping Stephen was joking. "It sounds very intelligent when he explains it. In short, now. The commander has left for the shore, to fight the Wildlings if they try to land, and garrison Westwatch. We, here, need to ready for a possible wildling attack. Right here. Men from Eastwatch will hopefully arrive soon. Hopefully. In any case, we must hold Castle Black. And I'm going to need your help for that." He turned to look at Ari. "Sorry, but unless you know how to fight, this might not be the ideal place to be."

[CrimsonMoon]

" I-I do," Ariella replies immediately, lookig nervous

" Ari-" Gregor looks up sternly from his writing

" We might as well tell them... It's stupid not to, besides, Kindrean probably already knows," Ariella mutters, pulling her hood down and looking at Kindrean with a weak smile

[cardon131313]

-"My brother does not have the slightest idea of what the great families are. If you told him you were the duke of Harrenhall or Aegon the Conqueror, he would simply reply that his name is Stephen."
-"We have other problems right now. Gregor, please send that letter. Since you know how to fight, we'll have you on the wall. Unless you mean you can fight with a sword. Kindrean, get downstairs, get all the people left in Castle Black assembled in the hall. We need to have a little chat."

[CrimsonMoon]

Ari snorts softlt and murmurs," I have something better than a sword," she sinks to her knees to shuffle through her bag before takin out a jar of green light,"... Wild fire,"

Gregor nods faintly and locates a raven, quickly tying off the letter to its leg and sending it off with directions

[CrimsonMoon]

Bump?)
