You need to roll twice and will describe what you see and you can do something about it or not, that is up to you.
Buah... now this is dilemma. He just openly made fun of Lord Domeric and House Naelareon in front of Marcus. Worst of all guy got archer hidden. No idea should I get in fight or not but I dont see any other opportunity or rather way to solve this without demanding his blood.
That is if he only has 1 archer hiding, he wouldn't have that big bag of marbles to not bring at least 3 to 5 men with him, one so far is an archer up to you to find out, you might enjoy lord Domeric's ride to kill the man lol.
Nick will show up by the end of Darne interaction with Lord Domeric.
I hope i am doing a decent job of playing an intrigue character >.< and not an overly accomplished one at that.
Probably not his job but aggressive and angry father can put the fear into anyone to do just as he says and not question it.
I think the time has come for Garran and Matthias to return from the marketplace.
Looking around...we've lost like all the intrigue based PCs besides Darne...quick Matthias, get better at Intrigue so I don't feel so lonely >.<
It's one of the first things I am looking to increase. I can beat you into the ground, but you can scheme me to sell ice cubes to wildings.
I say I have plans but currently I feel like a dog whose master just threw 12 tennis balls at once. I got a million ideas I wanna adjust for Darne just not a clue which to go in what order.
Well, what are they, maybe we can help shape something more concrete?
Warlord, I must say, you are not inly catching GoT jicely, I feel like an addict looking for my next hit. I must check this a half a dozen or more times a day, even if I don't have the opportunity to post.
Hm, I guess we will use Rodner rolls for Persuasion or should I make one or two just to be sure?
Rodner Saller rolls
Persuasion 5d6 keep 4 Charm/Bargain
Knowledge 3d6 Streetwise
Status 4d6 keep 3 Breeding 1B
Knowledge Streetwise would be to find sellswords, higher the roll the better quality of them.
Status for hedge knights
Persuasion TN 9 Sellswords/Hedge Knights, TN 12 Regular Knights
If you choose to add extra coin you get a +1 to all rolls.
Would it be also possible for me to assist so that is +1 extra more?
Also I will add +1 from extra coins since this is not to be taken lightly-> the honor of house was insulted
You can assist of course, just remember depending on the roll if you have a 4 in that ability is +2 if you have 3 or less its a +1
2 DoS you find decent Sell Swords and a Sell Sword officer
1 DoS you find hedge knights maybe 1 or 2 common knights looking for a chance to win glory.
2 DoS in persuading you got 20 x DoS = 40
You got Infantry Sell Swords with a "Decent" officer
You got a cavalry unit.
At the end of the tourney you may attempt to make them permanent.
Wealth roll will be done once you are back at House Naelareon.
Well so far, he could obviously use another rank in Fighting and Animal Handling.
But from there on it's how do I want him to be tailored. Of course who turns out to be heir will play a bit on that, if he is heir then I would need at least a 4 in Knowledge but his skills in political are fine for now.
That said, with as many characters that are combat oriented, I could see having Darne as focusing purely in that past bringing Fighting and Animal Handling both up to a four.
Is it better to go heavy into Willpower and bring that upto a five quickly or should I worry more on more Persuasion and Deception?
Should I make him the rogue of the group so to speak, add more stealth or not. If he doesn't make heir I could see this as a great idea, slip in hidden like pretend to be someone he's not and go about gathering intel before slipping back out and reporting on it all.
Or Darne could be furious at losing his spot as Heir and start going fighter heavy, upping fighting to 5 animal handling to 4 and starting to add in to all that stuff...
Right now, I feel that a lot hinges on how the situation with the heir bit resolves itself and what the House looks like as far as if they are are aggressive for land or just a more defensive family.
I have no idea which direction to go with Marcus. With this Darry-marriage situation now I feel like I should start to up my Persuasion, Deception & Will till 5. Then maybe later get my fighting capabilities up but all of this is long process.
And most interesting is, that it is still only day 3 :)
Ser Weyland needs Persuasion, Cunning and Athletics to be sure. At least in the short term.
I definately need to up my Persuasion, maybe Cunning, and Awareness. Definately want to up my Fighting, Animal Handling, Athletics, and Warfare. Hoping to create a Percival or Lancelot atyle character.
Hm, So Lord Naelareon will then go together with Darry and troops mustered for the mission, while others are staying for the feast? I am not completely sure if it would be good idea to let them him go alone and as his Castellan, Marcus would definetely not do it.
I guess there are other chances to know Tylea Darry better or Marcus will have to simply visit Darrys later
He is taking Marcus, just have to find out one important thing, were are they hiding first, which is why he is talking to the Coldbrook and Blackwoods for help, since they are also Houses that fought against the faith militant.
Let me know when ready for the events, since some events are at the same time in the same place.
I believe that I am ready for the events
Ready.
I assume Weyland never received a missive from House Estren?
Not yet, they will replay in time there is plenty of days in the tournament for that :)
Ready.
I would say also ready. I assume Marcus will get those clothes somehow-> will take 10 coins minimum out
This is an all afternoon to early evening event so you will be there for about 8hrs have fun!
After some time the Burden of Leadership event will take place.
High table:
Queen, Princess, Prince, lord and lady Tully, Garran, Billy, Matthias + Keath girl he chooses.
Enjoy High table and the better meals tehehehe you are stuck there until the royals leave.
Cassondria can do the speech for the House or a Courtier but they will take the Glory.
Persobally Darne would prefer to do it after her pulling the heir stunt. But I am not sure how to propose the toast. I would assume throwing a bit of may the mother bless your line with bountiful beauty and healthy offspring?
This is one of those moment my character would be more proper then my own ability I think...
I can sample some NPC speeches.
Danke, given that we earlier presented the present to the queen, the speech shall be to the princess to continue the neutrality setup we have been balancing, plus you know blackwood was in all black and red if I remember so it would look favorable towards the blackwoods I think.
That is up to you if you want to be Black or Green lol
Sorry for silence this far today. I'm driving back home after seeing family this weekend. I'm ready for events to progress, but might not post anything till later this evening.
What was the final House coat of arms and colors?
Ser Matthias, just put Naelareon up for display XD you forgot to speak to the Prince and Princess, after Darne speech favoring the Princess.
Expect many Houses to mingle into the Heir affair now, and big pressure to lord Domeric and yourselfs.
It was deliberate. Matthias knows he isn't any near as persuasive as Darne, Cassandria, or even the other dedicated Knights to House Naelareon. What better way to stir things up, albeit DANGEROUSLY so, than to cover them with a generic 'Your Majesty's', note the plural, but direct his comment to the Queen. Fortune favors the bold, with a heavy side of foolishness.
Matthias has come out Green and our House is forging alliances with Black and Green supporters. Our neutral stance seems almost confusing in a way, how the Lord likes it I suppose :-)
This is fun I agree. And Marcus is being sold like pig in a bag to Darry (who are supporting Blacks) ! Funny thing is that Marcus himself supports Green personally
Confusing, and also unbalancing to the others trying to figure out exactly where House Naelareon stands. Honestly, the coming out Green has more to do with Cassondria downplaying Matthias than where he actually stands. He figures by coming out in support of the Queen, he is demonstrating his lack of support for her more than showing support for Darne or the other Knights in the mix.
Aww... I didn't sell Marcus he got a wife of noble birth from a status 5 House I think? Even if she is from a lesser branch.
luls, what does it actually mean to Marcus, both status- & gamewise? Quite interested and getting excited with this game :)
Which both? Marrying a high status wife compared to the Naelareons?
Ah, sorry for making that question not so understandable. I mean, how does Marcus ranks from Status (wise) compared to others then? Since I will be still staying with Naelareons (House with Status 4) but I am married with someone from House with Status 5 (Altough she is lower branch).
Seems just a bit "too good to be true"
She is technically Status 3, as she is Heir from a lesser branch "technically" extinct.
Lord Domeric is pushing to increase to Status 5, otherwise he has to make you a Banner House, which can be worked in several ways. The other way is making you a landed knight.
You can become a "lesser" branch of the Naelareon or Darry Houses, or have your own name and heraldry.
You would still be sworn to House Naelareon, but your service would change, he will hire another Castellan and you would be part of his council, like the other two knights.
Quick question, what is proper etiquette for these events, do you get up at some point and move about and mingle or simply yell at and speak to those near you?
Normally you speak with those around you, but there is nothing to stop most people from standing and walking to say hi to someone instead of screaming just don't expect an intrigue.
Just remember this is were every one can see what you do and ou are kind of in the spotlight, or at least your House.
Hmm...Would I be able to speak for another, throwing poor Marcus or Weyland into the spotlight and basically Doing for them what Cassondria did for Matthias during the pageantry.
Personally Darne stands no chance but he could promote someone with much confidence.
