Shadows over Nevarra: The Grand Tourney (OOC)

Does this need to be a big collab if we aren't all together? I can't picture what you have in mind yet so I'll wait got more details.

For example my dwarves encountering the Kal Sharok dwarves I think should be it's own post? No one else would be aware of it I think?

Your idea sounds good then! I wasn't sure how it would all work in one post.

I see what you are saying. I pretty much agree with that but I wanted to check. So after the post with the discussion between Sabina and Rainer it will probably be best to continue as follows:

General post by me describing the Opening Ceremony which finishes with the arrival of the Kal-Sharok dwarves.

Post as a collaboration between me and Space with the exchange between the two dwarf factions.

Post by Phoray with Sabina's song.

Then optional posts with different characters reflecting on the day's events.


Unless I hear to the contrary I shall assume everyone is happy with this.

The plan! I was just wondering where we were going next. I did a recording (as you know gervaise) but just listened to it and think I should re record time on the line, 'I'll use what I have. I agree with you, the spanish bit sounds great, but I sound very muted in the started, and flubbed towards the end. I know I could do better.

But also! I need to get my Sabina screen shotted with a dress! I do worry my mods will crash, I currently have things set up for Qunari. eek.

Gervaise was talking to us

I did tag everyone when I made my post, so if you didn't receive notification please tell me as I am obviously doing something wrong.

I spoke to Gervais in PM already, but it looks great!

I'm clearly doing something wrong then. Sorry folks. Anyway, once Phoray has posted Sabina's song, please feel free to give your character's response to events.

Obviously Livia has a favoured position to witness everything and also hear how Ferdinand views things, although the disagreement between the two dwarf factions doesn't really affect anyone else other than to provide a bit of entertainment! Of course people are having plenty to say about Livia. I rather imagined that it would amuse Ferdinand to see the looks on the faces of the Nevarran nobility when he arrived with Livia at his side.

I was also thinking Issala might have some thoughts about the whole occasion but may also have spotted the Qunari delegation in the royal box. Bann Oswyn Sighard has one of the less expensive boxes on the opposite side of the stadium to the Royal Box, so anyone occupying it along with him would also have a clear view of the two boxes adjacent to the Royal. On the left as you view it from the other side of the Stadium would be the box reserved by the Divine for foreign dignitaries as her guests and which I mentioned included the Qunari. I think we previously discussed that Bann Sighard might have invited Issala to join him for the Opening Ceremony along with Jasce.

Then I have also discussed with Space about him posting the Orzammar dwarves discussion of events, which is likely to be colourful to say the least!

In addition Sabina's reaction to events and feelings after performing again, I assume she will also have something reflect having seen her son, Markham, in the Orlesian contingent.

I will make a post with Ellas and Burren discussing what they have witnessed and then Ellas deciding to take an evening stroll along to the alienage to introduce himself.

Meanwhile, the main action will then move to the Ducal Palace and the official reception. This is where the murder of the Qunari delegates, that is the basis for our investigation, is going to take place.

We have already established that Sabina will be there as Rainer's guest. I'm assuming that Livia will attend with Ferdinand and that the two Deshyrs from Orzammar will have been invited along with their seconds (although the dwarves will not actually be recruited to the investigation but may be interviewed as witnesses). Bann Oswyn will be there with Jasce, which will put him in the right place to be drawn into the confidence of Rainer and Viuus Anaxas, who are concerned that developments indicate it could be an inside job. He will then suggest Ellas as someone they can trust and back at his camp, when he approaches Ellas with the proposal to include him, Ellas will suggest taking Issala along as well because of his previous experience as a Qunari scout and tracker.

So proposed plan of action moving forward:

Phoray's post - Sabina's song

Various posts (everyone) - Different characters' reactions to the events of the Opening Ceremony.

My post - setting the scene at the official reception.

Various posts (everyone) - Exchanges between guests and introducing the principle suspect (initially) for the crime, Lucius Scribonianus (see character description and Phoray's earlier posts giving Sabina's history for the background to this character)

Discovery of the murder and Rainer and Viuus Anaxas setting up an investigative team. (Me)

I think that should be enough to keep us occupied for a while.

Space is working on something for the dwarves and I will make an entry for Ellas to explain how he ends up at the Reception, so if you want to do work on Twisted that is fine.

My dwarf doesn’t know the difference apparently

Yes a whole squad of them 😄
