The ring, the stone is genuine. A beautiful ruby cut for brilliance and shine. The silver ring looks like it was forged, and has an emblem of a snake curling around the finger. It looks like it can be worth about 250 gp.
The pendant is made of gold, and has a sapphire set in the middle. The sapphire looks fake, maybe a glass knockoff. The emblem of the pendant is that of a stag. It looks like it's worth about 50 gp to the right seller.
So are we gunna go get supplies for our cook?
She shakes her head "I'm going to have a gander and see if there is some form of archery compition."

The Archery Competition is happening about 30 feet away from the caber toss competition. There are targets that are set up from twenty paces from the start line. They are practicing now, but some archers are firing near the mark.
Eager to participate, Robyn will join the practicing archers. But just in case, she won't be aiming to hit the central mark, instead aiming off center

She takes a deep breath and looses an arrow
That's a hit (unliving targets have an AC of 10).
She keeps firing like the rest, practicing, while waiting for the tournament. Still purposefully not aiming to hit the center
Landriss steps up, glancing to the side to Robyn. He takes overly careful aim, and fires a much less skilled shot.....
and another.
He walks away laughing. "Maybe I should try a comedy act!"
She winks "I'll teach you archery, and you help me with acting?
Jediah just watches since he isn't good at archery.

Alkaid checks the iconography from what she knows to confirm if this is the real prince, another noble or a double.
As she'd figure out which house those items belong to.

As far as you know, it's a double.
Alkaid thinks on what she thinks she knows
"So a double is out and about, which could just be standard caution, but it could also be that the real prince is deathly ill or something along those lines. Seems I'll need to see if the princess is real or also a double, as that'll narrow down some possibilities."
So Alkaid now moves to observe the princess and to check her iconography.

Make a quick perception check followed by an Appraise check, Alkaid. This is to identify the items she's wearing and whether or not they are cheap imitations.
perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Appraise: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Seems so, the guards are blocking your good view.
Whatcha doin, Alkaid?
Alkaid whispers back "Thinking on how to best play this, as that prince is not the real prince, but a body double.
Currently, I'm checking the princess, but the guards are blocking a good view of the iconography she has on.
If the princess is also a body double, it means something is going that could be very bad."
"I'm thinking of approaching with a gift and thanking the royal family for the good times they are bringing, to get a excellent view.
But I have to approach and address her correctly or it could be a start of a fight as guards are there to protect the princess from harm. So it is a difficult thing to do."
The "prince" and the princess are headed towards the pavilion so they could watch the jousting tournament. It's going on first.
I am pretty scruffy so I don't think they will let me near.
The knights stand by their horses, putting on armor. Some of them have their lances ready. The horses are being decked out in barding and other dress.
Alkaid thinks
"Are they preparing for a jousting tournament?
If so, it could open the chance."
One knight looks at Jediah. "You need a bath," he remarks.
Sorry, sir.
Jediah mumbles and clutches his hat.
Sorry, sir.
Jediah mumbles and clutches his hat.
The knight goes "Horumph!" and dons his armor.
Alkaid thinks
"Are they preparing for a jousting tournament?
If so, it could open the chance."
The group of ladies are dressed in their best dresses and belts, all of different colors. Some even wear clips on their heads. Hanging from their belts are purses of leather, each jingling with coin.
The men are dressed in their tunics and hose. And all of them are wearing belts. Hanging from their belts are leather purses as well, each full of coin. The Prince and Princess are sitting in their booths. He was dressed in a splendid tunic, which was embroidered with gold. Of course, Alkaid already discovered that this elf man was a double. The princess, an elf, is wearing a purple dress with a gold sash. But she could be a double as well.
Alkaid ponders the best approach to get near the princess, with a simple offering gift, so as to appear loyal and thankful for the royal family looking after the people.

That was enough, you approach the princess fairly easy before she sits on her throne. "Is there something you want?" she asks of you.
Alkaid curtsey's like a peasant and addressed the princess
"I wish to give thanks to the royal family for keeping our Duchy of Ulek safe from attacks from monsters and our enemies. It is because of this safety we can have festivals like this one."
Alkaid takes in a good look of the princess and her jewelry and her jewelry's iconography.
What you can see is that the Princess has genuine iconography. Her signet ring has the crest of the Duchy on it. Her necklace, with a ruby set in it, is also genuine. She is the real deal, and not an imposter. She's not a double, so why is it the Prince is a double and not her?
Time to know as much as possible on what action to take.
Questions I'd like answers to
History of the princess's family's support for the people
What is the princess's known stance on Robyn's merry band

Time to know as much as possible on what action to take.
Questions I'd like answers to
History of the princess's family's support for the people
A. The princess generally supports the people, even for an elf. She has new roads built, certain forests turn into Duke's Forests, and commission new works of art on behalf of the people.
What is the princess's known stance on Robyn's merry band
She thinks they are outlaws.
Rumours of what is going on in the castle
Rumours of what is going on around with the Royal Family (as a whole)
Rumours of what is going on around the Princess and prince.
Rumors take a diplomacy check to gather information, and are not covered under Knowledge skills. But I'm thinking of a response for these three, just in case you do learn them.

The Princess's favorite tea and snacks
The Prince's favorite tea and snacks
The princess's favorite tea is Earl Grey.
The prince enjoys peppermint tea. Both like butter cookies.

There's a rumor that the Duke might return, and put the prince in his place.
There's also a rumor that the prince might have a mistress, because the princess can't get pregnant.
Likely not using the right ranks here.
Are Queens above Kings in some aspect of the Duchy?
Are their any possible contraceptives that have a seasoning like taste (ie giving a bit of a nutty flavor) that could be put into tea,butter cookies or other foods or drinks.?
Not sure of the rolls for these two questions.
Forgot to add a question to that list that are needed to filter and back one of the previous questions
Is the Princess the crown princess?
Is the Princess already engaged or married to another?

Not sure of the rolls for these two questions.
Q1. Are Queens above Kings in some aspect of the Duchy?
That will take a knowledge (Nobility and Royalty) roll to find out.
Q2. Are their any possible contraceptives that have a seasoning like taste (ie giving a bit of a nutty flavor) that could be put into tea,butter cookies or other foods or drinks.?
There was a plant in Greece that was a contraceptive, but was harvested to extinction. I don't know what it tasted like, I think it was sweet or nutty. As for your question, I would have to go with no.
Guessing the missed questions also go under the dice knowledge(nobility) roll?

Takes another knowledge (nobility & royalty) roll. DC 15.Is the Princess already engaged or married to another?
No.

A1. The Queen is not above the duke.
A2. Yes, she is the crown princess.
If a rumour says the Crown Princess can't get pregnant, what is the known cause of it, and how was it known, as the general way to find out is getting married and trying for an heir. Also a barren princesses would never become a crown princess as the line is a dead end. So looking at it, it is likely false, but could have some truth.
So something is up here.
So we need to know more about that rumour and it's source.
She winks "I'll teach you archery, and you help me with acting?
The tourney is about to start. First up are the archers. The tournament targets are about thirty paces away (about 15 feet). Everyone has their bows, and there are about 30 contestants.
The excitement in her was building. If she had her tail it would be flicking about wildly. Looking around to inspect the closest competition she had to compete with
The closest was the Archery competition. Although most were men, some were women. The archery competition was divided by sex. the men, who had stronger upper body strength, were competing against other men. The women, who were stronger in other areas, were competing against other women.
Landriss moves up to the area for the archery contest waiting for instruction. He only has a short bow and doesn't think he can win unless they stick to such short range as what they are starting with....
Robyn gives a covert nod at Landriss as she sees him joining the ranks of entries. And then giving him a candid thumbs up
She then goes to take her position among the rest, ready to test her skill against what the locals can provide
