I guess intrigue is over between me and Ophelia
Also I do apologize if I do sound rude & - insert possible things - towards someone. Not really wanting to keep story stalled plus "fixing" issues (dialogues between players) so to say
Still have a post with Cassondria but I suppose we can handle that as we move along as a flashback to the morning.
Lord Naelareon is royally pissed off thanks to Matthias!
Well done lad...
If you can't think why he is so angry I'll drop you a hint or two:
GREENS VS. BLACKS
"Green" Queen vs. "Black" Princess
I was under the impression he had not chosen sides.... :-)
I also figured the Kingsguard would know if any of the Small Council was along for the ride, I guess I figured wrong!
They don't know, the Queen is not coming from the Red Keep, that is why. Hint to her green transport from the Reach she just got. She is coming from Old Town.
Matthias just made a statement with his actions that House Naelaron supports the Greens, remember your actions and words will come back to bite you.
The "neutral" Houses would be the classical somewhat late arrivals, but the loyal ones rush, and Matthias spends a DP to even get there before the Kingsguard, so they look a bit bad, but no biggie from their side, but the rest of Westeros see a Green Naelareon, which is what lord Domeric did not wanted.
So brutal, I love this game. I just hate the damn dice roller...
I do say, Matthias was now just kicking himself in the ass against everyone :P Unfriendliness for you, for you... for everyone!
I am just swimming in it.
Somehow I find this enjoyable and comedical same time in OOC. IC can get more brutal
I think maybe my vice should be oblivious, as in oblivious to how much words and actions affect things.
Yeah, I figure Matthias is going to get hammered. Hopefully it doesn't kill him.
Guys still there?
I am indeed, and eager for more ^^
Yep, still here. Today was the last day if school for kids, and the staff went out to celebrate afterwards,
Yes. I figure I was waiting for some sort enraged tirade from Marcus or Lord Naelareon. I have turned Matthias into a pariah, so just waiting for fallout for more interaction.
I am still waiting on an Intrigue with Cassondria to play out....
Indeed, I believe I have a conversation with her as well in the backlog though if it needs to be pushed back until after the event of today then I can honestly do it then.
Also, I was sick for several days and then on a Business Trip in Texas. I will be slammed at work all week, so I will keep up but may not be as creative in game as I would in a week where I had a lighter work load...
Not a problem, will give Cassondira until tomorrow to post before pushing the event that is made for intrigue players. While intrigue players are doing that I know Garran and Darne are going to the market for some fun stuff.
Oh yes, you can also be engaged by NPC during the event.
Meep, but I am an intrigue character...hmm perhaps I will have to send Garrin by himself...
work has slowed me down a bit, but still here
I'll push the event through.
Discretion is the better part of valor, Matthias will not be participating in Little Birds. 10 is right in the middle on 3d, but why chance a critical failure. Besides, he has caused enough of a stir on the first day.
Oh, Mr. Matthias, you may not participate, but you can still be the target >:)
Maybe conscious participant may be a better description.
I hope it is in right format and rightly done as you asked Warlord. DC is in my case 10 so I passed all of them. Not sure if I justified my +1B Memory (Cunning) well enough but hopefully it worked
It's justified, and in my OOC answer as the action of Matthias has brought attention of the Tully's
Surprisingly, Garran actually has a chance of making TN 10 tests in all 3 of those.
GM, would this be limited to the camp, or would someone possibly follow Darne and Garran as they trek to the markets?
This can be ANYWHERE in Riverrun except someone else pavilion, it could be the Kitchens, Sept all places are fair game.
To get more Information I should roll more or is it then Intrigue Combat? Might consider engaging in one in exchange of my own spie somewhere
I have learned just the other day Garren that the preview button will show you your rolls so that you can get your story straight based on them without posting early.
It was something I was unaware of myself
Darne you should just ask your Maester who House Keath is, he might be more helpful.
Also it's an event, you did your rolls and you can try to talk to them, but you can't roll again as if it was the same event, you only get to do it once, unless noted.
AH, my apologies. I shall delete the post then. I did not know if there was more then one intrigue for the event.
Indeed, I shall inquire with my Maester about House Keath and it's fair Lady. Will I be able to do that during the same time slot, I suppose possibly not given we are in the market and he is most likely not.
Have fun with the Keath's >:)
I thought Ser Tully told you he wasn't sure, and most likely not attending, second for the timeslot, your Lord father and the other 2 Wylde knights with him are already gone as the majority for the Princess Arrival.
That is why I asked to use time slot, so if 1 event takes place in Middle Afternoon, you cannot do anything else, until Late Afternoon, then you can decide to visit people of it's a free time slot (no event) or go to an event and talk to people there, as not everyone will be participating.
You don't have to participate in an event, actively, but you can be present to speak to other NPCs
So, just to make sure I have this figured out, Little Birds is Day 1: Mid Afternoon. By participating in this event, we cannot do anything until Late Afternoon, which means Darne and Garran spent Mid Afternoon buying Darne a boar spear while dealing with those who are spying on them.
Do I have that right?

Tully stated - "Small council was invited, but they don't normally attend tourney's from the start, if they do at all Ser Weyland" he pauses for a moment like trying to remember something "I am sorry to give you the bad news, but he was invited after all we are in good terms with House Wylde"
From that I took it to mean that since he was invited after all, he would be here.
Yes Garran you have it right.
He will be there, he was just not arriving with the queen or princes the small council have to keep appearance of not siding with one or other, at least to the public.
He will arrive as lord Wylde but after Day 1, it's important for appearance.

Gotcha!
Really enjoying the game despite being a bit all over the place. I feel I understand your pacing and structure now so things should flow a bit more smoothly from my end.
Guess Cassondria left?
Well at least we have a NPC made in case she returns I suppose.
Ser Weyland is in for a world of headaches lol
I agree with Story...enjoying the game, just need to adjust to the number of posts...lol

YEP, that would have gone much better with her as a PC....
Though IF she was an NPC the interaction may have gone completely differently and I may not have even attempted my Intrigue. PM me about that Warlord.
I do like how this is going so far although it might take a while when we wait for everyone (quite normal in PbP).
If this keeps going on, might even last pretty long time. Never played SOIAF so have no idea how fast everything really happens or characters develops... outside of how punishing this game can be
Character development is not easy to measure compared to other systems as you can see, getting high end abilities get's very costly.
It really depends on what you want to improve as character to polish your vision of how he is, or simply make him less vulnerable and well rounded character.
As you can see in this system having a well rounded character to start helps a lot lol
Cassondria ongoing intrigues are going to be ignored, since as a GMPC you may risk more than you were thinking and are treated as if they never happened unless you consider them important.
Cassondria has a chance to come back, but we shall see since she just vanished.
That guy was a DM for a 5E Ravenloft campaign I was playing in as well! Last post was June 4 so hopefully guy is just sick or busy with work and will be back.
I did not consider the Intrigue all that important, more of a Player to Player issue.
If I get this straight....just the gist mind you.
The queen is supported by the greens, with the belief that the prince should rule as the only living heir left from the king's death is his daughter.
The princess however is supported by the blacks because the late king, despite having male heirs chose her in his will to be the successor.
Is that the known knowledge and correct?
King Viserys I had three children by his first queen Aemma Arryn, but only one, Princess Rhaenyra, survived to adulthood. Lacking a son to succeed him, Viserys began to train Princess Rhaenyra to be his heir. Young Rhaenyra was included in discussions of the affairs of state, and was allowed to participate in meetings of the small council. Many of the nobles took note, and Rhaenyra soon acquired a clique of adherents and supporters. However, after his queen died, the king remarried in 106 AC, this time to Alicent Hightower and had four more children, including three sons, the eldest son named Aegon. Nonetheless, Viserys I strengthened Rhaenyra's place in the succession; he married her to Ser Laenor Velaryon - who himself had Targaryen blood through his mother, Princess Rhaenys. Rhaenyra gave birth to three sons.
When Laenor Velaryon passed away in 120 AC, Rhaenyra married anew, this time to her uncle, Prince Daemon Targaryen, younger brother to Viserys I Targaryen. Her sons by him were the future Aegon III (called Aegon the Younger in his youth, to distinguish him from his uncle, Aegon II, who on occasion was called Aegon the Elder) and Viserys II. Her father's intention that she should follow him on the Iron Throne was confirmed by proclamation and the will of Viserys I Targaryen. In 105 AC, hundreds of Lords and landed knights had done obeisance to the Princess Rhaenyra.
In 111 AC, a great tourney was held at King’s Landing on the fifth anniversary of the king’s marriage to Queen Alicent. At the opening feast, the queen wore a green gown, whilst the Princess Rhaenyra dressed dramatically in Targaryen red and black. Note was taken, and thereafter it became the custom to refer to “greens” and “blacks” when talking of the queen’s party and the party of the princess, respectively.
Rhaenyra and Alicents relationship had gone bad early in Alicent's marriage to Viserys, since both ladies had been trying to be the realm's first lady, and there could only be one. As a consequence of their bad relation, Alicent's sons did not take to Rhaenyra's sons.
This is the known parts you can say and the gist of how they became blacks and greens, and not the king is close to kicking the bucket so we all know that means WAR.
Yes, should be lots of fun then :-)
Question, the in game thread you discussed the other Children of House Estren who I would know in passing.
I never did name my older Brothers (I do not think I included a sister in my background but that does not mean she was not there) did you come up with names for my siblings? Thanks :-)
1 is a sibling and heir, 2 cousins
