Story

Finger Dance

The room's full of feasting warriors. One hulking man rises, slow but graceful, and brandishes an axe. The crowd begins to call for the finger dance!

Quest Duration: 2h

Few-Fingered Warrior

Options

"How far is this likely to go, Ser Hugo?"

Ser Hugo Flint

"You know the tradition, my lady/lord. The dancers throw the axe back and forth, jumping or catching. Whoever loses a finger loses the game."

Old Ways

"My dancer will show them that an Ironborn fears not the blade!"

"Maester Lucas, are you ready for what is to come?"

Maester Lucas

"I am, my lady/lord. The traditionalists prefer to treat such wounds with hot metal and salt water ... but I'll boil wine and ready the silk and needles."

New Ways

"I don't want anyone bleeding out. The loser will receive your care, tradition or no."

"Ser Hugo, can we avoid an injury tonight?"

Ser Hugo Flint

"Yes, though it'll upset some. They can jump over the axe, and it can end when they tire of it." He makes a sour face. "It would be a disappointment."

None

"The crowd wants blood, but my floor will be clean tonight. I'll keep this dance short."
