the storm king returns Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Lets say Roose and Ramsey are defeated by Stannis and the Northern Lords and white walkers are defeated Danny sits the IT and grants the North independence, the Starks of Winterfell are kings of winter and Rickon the wild wolf Stark is king with Davos Seaworth as Castellan of WF. Arya is made Lord of the dreadfort for being the one who sneaks in and kills Roose Bolton.The war with with the white walkers has left the North with almost no army say around 10000 fighting men are left.Arya sits in the Dreadfort with nothing but revenge in mind for the Freys they still hold the twins and Rivverrunn (no RW2 sorry) Can Arya and 10000 angry northmen take the twins ? Can they retake RR as well ?No external help can be provided but the riverlords don't care that Arya has come cor Frey blood obviously lol Arya : 10000 men Twins: 600 men Rivverrunn: 600 men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darksnider05 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Not really hard to do with 10,000 men but really if she can get men on both sides burn it to the ground. Kill anyone who escapes this kind of feels to easy. She's in friendly territory so food isn't really a problem logistics wise. Don't really need 10,000 men as well.

the storm king returns Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 The twins are heavily fortified and two seperate strong fortifications 10000 men are not a lot to try and take both the twins and Rivverrunn, food is also not easy since this takes place after the war of 5kings and the war with the golden company and the whitewalkers.

Lee-Sensei Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Seeing as an invasion of the freys land would constitute an invasion of Danny's kingdom the north is crushed and forced to bend the knee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyll.Ing. Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Besiege castle from both sides. Stretch net across river some 500 metres upriver of the Twins. Tie cow carcasses to net. Wait for the Freys to get thirsty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erza Whitewalker Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I refuse to answer on the grounds that it is a ridiculous premise.Arya sneaks into the Dreadfort, kills Roose (who earlier was defeated by Stannis and other Northern Lords), and she is made "Lord of the Dreadfort"? Can't we at least base what-if questions on things that happened but with a slight change? The entire OP is made up of several things happening in the future.

Lord Lyman Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Well, If she has the ability to sneak intot The Dreadfort to kill Roose, then she has the ability to sneak into the Twins to kill Walder. From there on out, you let the Frey's kill each other. The 10,000 men are there just for the distraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I refuse to answer on the grounds that it is a ridiculous premise. Arya sneaks into the Dreadfort, kills Roose (who earlier was defeated by Stannis and other Northern Lords), and she is made "Lord of the Dreadfort"? Can't we at least base what-if questions on things that happened but with a slight change? The entire OP is made up of several things happening in the future. She also has a massive bloody wolf pack. Does this count as "external help"? I'd station the pack around the Riverrun all covert like. Keeping them as hidden as possible, I'd kill everything I practically could without endangering or exposing the pack. This would include livestock, game, horses, humans, but only anyone approaching or departing RR. Anyone unlucky enough to be sporting a twin towers sigil wouldn't get eaten, they might even be found alive, but they'll be horribly mutilated. There'll be strange reports of wolves howling "the Rains of Castamere" by night. People will begin to get the message and stay away from the place because it's cursed. Arya will position informants throughout the Riverlands to gather intelligence. She may even take the face of a servant within RR for good measure. If the Frey lord ever gets it in his head to gather men for a wolf hunt, they come up with nothing because Arya, knowing this in advance, wargs Nymeria and retreats the pack to safety. This helps to sew confusion and discord among the Freys and their knights. Some of them might even become complacent on future wolf hunts (boy who cried wolf style). This gory cycle plays out a few times until the patterns are established. Lord Frey, not expecting to find anything, decides to accompany the party on the next wolf hunt. Since he's coming along, his men demand increased security so additional knights are there to protect him. Wouldn't you know, this represents a sizable Frey host, maybe even the bulk of his fighting men. Maybe the Lord brings his Heir along because why not. Maybe he reaches out to his extended family from the Twins. They show up because who doesn't like a good hunt? After all, they don't expect to find anything. On the morning of the final day of the hunt, when the men are duly hungover, tired, and very complacent, they happen to spot something off in the distance. Not the whole pack, but enough of them to get them interested. Maybe they're gnawing on some dead someone or something. The Freys see the pack has interrupted their meal because they sense the Frey host. The wolves act aggressively at first, everyone of them growling and flashing their teeth. Then, they stop, turn around and bolt. The sluggish, half armored Freys, give chase. This goes on for some time, but the host is slowly gaining on the pack. And, at just the right moment, in just the right spot, the Freys find themselves face to face with the pack they'd been chasing, along with Lord Rickon Stark, Shaggy Dog, the rest of the great pack and 10,000 screaming northmen. The rest explains itself. Then Lord Rickcon Stark, still regretting the goofy name he gave his now adult dire wolf when he was a child, attacks the Twins.

MyLittleFinger Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Why is the Lady of the Dreadfort leading the Northern Host and why is she rewarded with the Dreadfort when she's a bannerlady to "King Rickon." Also, why would anybody trust Arya to lead a war? Even if she came back as the most established assassin known to Westeros, what does she know about war? Oy, let's let this crazy face changing assassin 12 year old lead the vanguard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRANDON GREYSTARK Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I'm a Warg .Each Frey would have an accident with an animal or travelers around Freys territory will be accosted by animals causing a redirection of travelling routes .

Pod The Impaler Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Arya sits in the Dreadfort with nothing but revenge in mind for the Freys they still hold the twins and Rivverrunn (no RW2 sorry) Can Arya and 10000 angry northmen take the twins ? Can they retake RR as well ? 1) Use most army on both shores to trap them at the Twins.2) Barges loaded with wildfire to incinerate the Twins from underneath.3) spiked fish weirs and archers downstream to kill off any survivors who think they might float away Also, why would anybody trust Arya to lead a war? Even if she came back as the most established assassin known to Westeros, what does she know about war? Arya can lead a war better than anybody ! :drunk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Considering she's Lord of the Dreadfort, she should cast the same sex-changing spell that worked on herself to confuse the heck of everybody else and while they are running around wondering where are their penises, attack.
