[D2 LE] Event: Welcoming Feast

[GhostWolfe]

Following the hunt in the Green Forest, the game has been dressed and cooked. Enticing smells have wafted over Grassfield Keep since the early afternoon, and by the time the feast is ready to begin, everyone is ravenous.

As the food is served, the drink begins to flow: brown ales and mead are poured alongside the red and white wines the Reach is famous for, and tiny cups of firewater from across the Narrow Sea are in evidence. All in all, it becomes hard to keep one’s wits about oneself as the Feast draws on and the gathered guests become rowdier.

Opt Out: If your character skips the Feast and has already gained Suspect Points, gain 1 Suspect Point. If you skip the Feast, but have managed to go unnoticed so far, your absence won’t be noted.

Step One: Where I Belong
Seating in the Hall can be very important, and the higher one’s Status the more narrow the perception of acceptable company becomes. One should endeavour to find a table suitable to their station.
Roll: Status (Breeding, Reputation), for characters of Status Rank 3 the difficulty is Challenging (TN9), increase the difficulty by one step for each additional Status Rank.
Failure: Whether you’re out of your league, or sitting amongst the vagabonds, it’s clear you don’t belong. -1 Feast Points.
Success (one+ degree): You blend in perfectly with those sitting near you. +1 Feast Point per degree of success.

Step Two: Scintillate & Sparkle
Conversations ramble about you like a dozen babbling brooks. Throw yourself into the fray with some well-chosen words.
Roll: Cunning (Memory), Knowledge (Any), or Persuasion (Charm); Hard (TN15).
Failure: You stumble, stutter, forget, or maybe you just are dull. -1 Feast Points.
Success (one+ degree): You scintillate and fascinate. +1 Feast Point per degree of success.

Step Three: Unwanted Attentions
You have caught the eye of another guest. A lonely and lascivious widow, a drunken braggart wanting to fight, a downtrodden hunting dog begging for scraps; you must extract yourself before it turns into a scene.
Roll: Deception (Act, Bluff), Persuasion (Charm, Convince); Formidable (TN12).
Failure: Now everyone’s looking, this will be coming back to haunt you. -1 Feast Points.
Success (one+ degree): You are a silver-tongued devil would could surely charm the moon from the sky. +1 Feast Point per degree of success.

Step Four: Rich Food, Plentiful Drink
With such a lavish array before you, it’s all but impossible not to over-indulge.
Roll: Endurance (Resilience), Challenging (TN9).
Critical Failure: Something you ate disagreed with you, or perhaps with something else you had. See “Indigestion”, below.
Failure: Maybe that last glass of wine wasn’t such a good idea. -1 Feast Points.
Success (one+ degree): Whether it is by indomitable self-control, of a stomach made of steel, you remain bright and undiminished. +1 Feast Point per degree of success.

Feast Points: The player with the most Feast Points at the end of the Event gains 1 Fame.

Indigestion: You wake the following morning feeling decided ill. Your head throbs and your stomach roils. At the start of Day 3, you suffer -1D on all tests. Each hour you may attempt an Endurance (Resilience) Test (Challenging) to overcome the effects of your over-indulgence. A maester with appropriate kit can substitute their Healing (Treat Ailment) roll for your Endurance Test, provided they spend at least one hour tending to you.

[Alicent Feyther]

The Feast was much of what Alicent had become used to over time - she found a place at a table, but was largely ignored aside from by rather overindulged man who got far to into her personal space. At least she managed to extricate herself with grace, but she was a little too inclined to drink deeper to keep a polite smile on her face. When it was finally over, she leaned on her brother to return home, feeling inebriated, moderately ill, and depressed.

[Mariessa Tremaine]

Mariessa at least felt comfortable with where she chose to sit. She was, after all, a Tremaine - bannerhouse to their host, and she was her father's heir. And old Lord Meadows was like a doting grand-uncle. The young lady Tremaine knew where she belonged.

But... unlike the magnetic Jyn, Mari was not quite sure how to get the attention of everyone around her. Almost everyone else was so much older, more experienced, and had so much interesting to say. The oldest twin ended up not being able to get a word of interest in.

As she rose from her seat to excuse herself for a brief moment, a rather clingy man-at-arms was trying to impress her, but the very stubborn Tremaine managed to push him away without causing a scene after having said a few disarming words.

That she had taken a brief moment to stretch her legs from the feast was probably going to be her rescue from over-indulging.

[Jynessa Tremaine]

It was in Jyn's interests to sit close to those in charge, those who possessed power. However, she was at least careful enough to not overstep her boundaries. She kept herself at a visible distance from them, among the other vassals, in hopes of at least being noticed. Her wish was at least granted among those about her as she lived up to her reputation. Perhaps her gregariousness was too successful, as it garnered the unwanted attention of an aspiring tourney knight. She cursed her fortune, as if he were a more prominent man she would humor him. Without betraying her distaste, she managed to excuse herself from his presence.

She walked away with her goblet of wine in her hands and a smile plastered on her lips. And tragedy struck her once more when she lost her footing and brushed up against another guest. She barely managed to keep her drink from spilling all over the floor. Before she could apologize, a hiccup escaped her and her cheeks turned even redder than before. "Pardon me," she murmured, before continuing on her way.

[Leovall Marten]

Preferring to enjoy a feast without having to mingle with dozens of people Leovall was out of his element. While the food and drink was spectacular and enjoyable, and he had no trouble seating himself on a good table, he felt out of sorts not being with his cousins. He wondered how the venison they'd caught tasted. Trying to convince the table Liliane had brought down a deer was met with incredulous looks. The only one who seemed to pay him any attention was one of the wandering hunting dogs. He ended up feeding it and paying it marginally more attention that the loud men and women of his table, none of whom he knew. At the very least he had no trouble putting the food and drink away.

[Terrance Stone]

The bastard knew his place and found it with little difficult. As dinner began, he talked about the day's hunt. He went into great detail about tracking the deer by its droppings, slaying it with an arrow deep in its heart and dressing the carcass and carrying it out of the forest. It was a little too much detail for the dinner table. Then, came the drinking contest. It wasn't something that interested him, he usually got into trouble that way. The old man was persistent, however, and convinced Terrance that it would be rude to refuse. So, they drank, a lot. Fortunately, Stone could hold his drink and survived the contest without further embarrassment.

[Marten Tremaine]

Marten managed to find a place to sit that was appropriate to his station.

As he tried to engage in conversation with the people around, he became more aware of how much he had depended on his wife and daughters to carry the conversation. And so, he mostly kept quiet, drawing attention from little besides the servers.

It was only later on, though, that Marten figured out exactly what the problem with having the attention of the servers was. Grunting, Marten set down his wine glass, willing his head to stop spinning.
