CHAPTER 1: The Night’s WatchOld CrowOld ExpertYou’ve told so many stories about how you came to be a Brother of the Watch that most days even you don’t remember which one is true. But nowand then, when the beer is especially good or the night especially cold, you tell the story of a winter many, many years ago when a wandering crowfound you near frozen to death in the streets of Fairmarket. The old crow fed you, clothed you and offered you a bed of your own and all you hadto do was swear your life to the Watch.You got your own bed, your own clothes, and all the food you could eat and all you had to do was what they told you. Sometimes there’s evena girl down in Mole’s Town, if you want. As long as you’re at your post when your watch begins, you’ll have a full belly and a good bed to sleep in.You’ve seen Summers and Winters. You’ve seen Lords Commander come and go, seen friends die or go over the Wall, kings rise and fall. You’velearned your way around a sword, a horse, a forest and the top of the Wall. The years take their toll. Your eyessee more than men half your age and as long as you don’t have to chase anyone down, you can still holdyour own in a fight.Your knees hurt when it’s cold and your memory’s as full of holes as an old, moth-eaten cloak, butyou’ve lived your life on the Wall. The Night’s Watch is your family and the Wall your home.AbilitiesAnimal Handling 3 Ride 1BAwareness 4 Empathy 2B, Notice 2BCunning 3Deception 3Endurance 4 Resilience 2BFighting 3Healing 4 Treat Injury 3BKnowledge 3Marksmanship 4 Crossbow 2BStealth 3 Sneak 1BSurvival 4 Forage 2B, Orient 1BWarfare 3QualitiesBenefits: Brother of the Night’s Watch (Steward), LuckyDrawbacks: Flaw (Deception)AttributesCombatDefense8(6 in armor)IntrigueDefenseHealth 12 Composure 6Destiny Points 0Movement 3, Sprint 9 (with armor: 3, Sprint 9)Awareness 4, Passive 16Arms & ArmorHard Leather Armor: AR 3 ❂ AP –2 ❂ Bulk 0Longsword 3D 2 DamageHeavyCrossbow4D+2B4 DamageLong range, Piercing 2,Reload (Greater), Slow,Two-handed, Vicious9PersonalGearLongsword, dagger, mail, black woolen clothing, garron,heavy gauntlets27
