Hey, so, next Winter for the little visit to Sir Hywel's manor, then? Well, anyway, time for experience checks. First, I'll put my bonus skill point in Sword, raising it to 18. Then, here's the d20s. I forgot I had a seventh check, so I'll link the make-up roll next to the relevant skill. Awareness - 7 - No Courtesy - 4 - No Generous - 14 - Yes (goes up to 14) Sword - 20 - Yes (goes up to 19) Honor - 5 - No Loyalty (Lord) - 1 - No Love (Family) - 1 - No I would also argue that our lack of hesitation at whipping a giant merits checks on Valorous for the lot of us and that Briant deserves a check on Arbitrary for not just skewing the Glory results from the giant, but doing so in such a way that it still carries the veneer of fairness. Plus maybe Stewardship for doing actual math to accomplish it. Also, I'd say we all merit checks in Faerie Lore and Folklore, seeing as our skills are so low that we must have learned something. Now, the dice have not exactly been my best pals this time around, but I'm going to go with the skill points again. Four points! Average, but could be worse. I'll put those points into Romance, as Briant is studying up on the procedures of courting women, since he's still got designs on Hywel's daughter (or, more accurately, Hywel's manors, the wife is more of a secondary benefit in his mind). For Glory, my annual Glory gain is 80 for the time being (9 for $$$, 65 from traits/passions, and the base 6 for my land). Adding that to my year's Glory of 145, I have gone up 225 points, to a new total of 1717! Two years, and he's already surpassed both his father and grandfather in Glory. Family time! Looks like there's a new little bundle of joy in the family. Yay. Affecting his... cousin? Now things are interesting. Looks like Gauter's had some indiscretions. Of course, he has FLORIDAS  to run damage control for him. Briant had to excuse himself from the room when he heard the news, so he could laugh uproariously without anyone seeing. Sure, his idiot brothers got themselves caught fighting over a barmaid, but Floridas' brother fathered a bastard within a single year of having been knighted.Updated sheet coming shortly, after I get a yes/no on my check lobbying.

Okay. Then checks: Loyalty (Lord) Singing Faerie Lore 7, 17, 12. Faerie Lore goes up by 1. I had no ransom, so I live an Ordinary life. Childbirth: Grigor doesn't have any ladies in his life, so... Family Events: First roll: 17 means that nothing happens. Skills: 4 points. 2 to Battle, 1 to Compose, 1 to Lance. Okay, up 1343 Glory before Annual. 6 from income, 16 from Generous, 18 from Loyalty (Group). 1383. Then I checked my virtues - they hit 80, just, for the Chivalry Bonus, which is +100, I believe? So 1483. Did I do that right? Oh, and my suggestions for checks: Generous and Modest, because Grigor is downplaying his own work in the song he wrote, and Compose. I will roll them, but not apply them unless ibntumart okays it. Modest alone would go up by 1.

Pellogres, Winter Phase, 486 Experience Checks: Recognize 10 Merciful 17 Courtesy 10 Loyalty (Lord) 18 Fairie Lore 1 I would suggest that I could also make a case that Pellogres deserves a check on Modest for his behavior with Sir Behan. Behan recognized him and called out his mercy and chivalry and Pellogres just kept mum and took the compliment like a modest and goodhearted man. I'll roll for it but it can be ignored if you don't think he's earned it. Rolls: Exprience Checks: 6#1d20 5 5 12 14 3 7 So Courtesy goes to 11 (heh), and Fairie Lore goes to 2. Aging: Psh, no problems. Economic Circumstances: Ordinary keeping, no glory and no monies spent. Stable Rolls: N/A Childbirth/Family Events: Family Events: 2#1d20 15 12 My sister is missing! Compute Glory: Previous total was 1674. Let me do some math now...142 + 114 + 1674 = 1930. Soooo close. Training and Bonuses: I'm going to add to my training bonus to my skills. Skills: 1d6+1 6. 6 points to add. We're going with boosting Courtesy to 15 and Heraldry to 10. Do I get any other bonuses to glory? The Chivalric Bonus only gives glory when you first ding it, right?

It starts giving you Glory over the following Winter Phase - you get the bonus Glory for being chivalrous during play, so the year it ticks over you get nothing, sadly. Next Winter Phase, though, and each other Winter Phase where you've been famously Chivalrous for the prior year, it earns you 100 Glory.

Ok, so Winter Phase rolls: Rolling against Sword 15 Loyalty (Earl) 15 Faerie Lore 1 http://orokos.com/roll/207592: 1d20 1 1d20 15 1d20 7 So, I rolled equal to my Loyalty: Earl, which means I don't think it increased. So just a bonus to Faerie Lore then. Family events: Family events: 1d20 5 1d20 1 Bledri finds out his father gets married. This comes as a shock to him, as his father is dead. He asks the messenger to repeat that: Corrected family event: 1d20 2 and the messenger repeats it. His father. "Are you sure?", Bledri asks? The man is sure. Family events; third time's the charm: 1d20 2 Shocked, Bledri takes the piece of paper. It's clear this messenger can't read, because the paper clearly states not that Bledri's father has married, but that he has a new father...his mother has remarried: My father, really?: 1d20 6 This is no less shocking; his mother is also dead. It's not mom either: 1d20 14 Finally, after much confusion, it turns out it's his sister who married. Happy day! Improving Energetic to 15, and putting my extra skill point into sword. I'm just spending normal maintenance, and my glory goes up by 141 because of events, plus 6 for normal maintenance, 16 for prudence, and 18 for the Knights of the Hound, bringing my glory up to 1584.

I'm still here... I was waiting to make sure everyone had a chance to post before moving on and now realize I probably should have just moved things ahead by now. Sorry, guys! I'll post the end of the scene tonight and get us headed to the Winter Phase shenanigans. You'll have a chance to see King Uther and probably get another scenario under your belt, so that Glory leaderboard might change.

Then in that case, since Bledri's Courtesy roll has already been made a success by EclecticTastes... I'll use *my* coin to make it a critical. (I was tempted to boost something a little more related to saving face for Rhun but frankly I think the servants snickering at him is perfect and I would never want to lose that)

Yeah, I thought so. Was sort of hoping this fell into, like, I dunno, Autumn? Ah, well, no lasting harm done. So, Winter Court, all right! More time to cozy up to Sir Hywel until he's just like, "You know what, fine, you can marry my daughter, I don't care, just leave me alone!" Briant takes an approach to social climbing not unlike Hans Florine's approach to rock climbing.

Okay, I'd say it's about time for the annual character sheet update. I'll just put an edit in here for any additional Glory we get, and I'll omit the family stuff from future postings, since it's all there on my original sheet. I've also added all my 10/10 trait pairs so I remember to talk about them. Given that it's still technically Winter, I was wondering if I could lobby for some rolls on them to get Briant more defined. Like, I figure he's probably earned a few points of Proud outright, but a check would be nice. And actually I did get a check on Suspicious when we were dealing with Merlin, I forgot to mark it down. Never mind, moot point. Oh, right, everyone, pretty sure we all get 18 more annual Glory thanks to our new Loyalty trait. Name: Sir Briant (known as "The Feckless" among those outside his range of hearing) Age: 28 Religion: British Christian Home: Newton Family characteristic: Clever Heirloom: Decorated Saddle Traits: Just/Arbitrary: 4/16 Valorous/Cowardly: 16/4 Generous/Selfish: 14/6 Energetic/Lazy: 13/7 Chaste/Lustful: 13/7 Temperate/Indulgent: 13/7 Forgiving/Vengeful: 9/11 Honest/Deceitful: 10/10 Modest/Proud: 10/10 Pious/Worldly: 10/10 Merciful/Cruel: 10/10 Prudent/Reckless: 10/10 Trusting/Suspicious: 10/10 Passions: Loyalty (Lord): 15 Love (Family): 15 Hospitality: 15 Honor: 16 Hate (Saxons): 17 Loyalty (Party): 19 (NOTE: I'd totally forgotten I got a crit the first time I rolled it, which means free point.) Attributes: Size: 18 Dex: 8 Str: 15 Con: 21 App: 8 Damage: 6d6 Hit Points: 39 Unconscious at: 10 Move Rate: 2 Healing Rate: 3 Distinctive Features (2, chosen rather than rolled): Haughty Sneer, Booming Voice Skills: Awareness 10 Boating 1 Compose 1 Courtesy 15 Dancing 2 Faerie Lore 1 Falconry 3 First Aid 10 Flirting 3 Folk Lore 2 Gaming 13 Heraldry 3 Hunting 10 Intrigue 3 Orate 5 Play (Harp) 3 Read (Latin) 0 Recognize 10 Religion (Christianity) 2 Romance 3 Singing 2 Stewardship 10 Swimming 10 Tourney 2 Battle 15 Horsemanship 10 Sword 19 Lance 7 Dagger 5 Army: Middle-Aged Knights: 3 Young Knights: 6 Non-lineage Men: 12 Levy: 56 Annual Glory: Traits/Passions: 84 (Arbitrary, Valorous, Hates Saxons, Honor, Loyalty (KotH)) Land: 6 Other: Status: Rich Cash in coffers: 1 pound cash, 1 pound material (Gold ring, emerald inset) Special assets: Open invitation to Hywel's estate (to be used at first opportunity to get some progress made towards marrying the rich girl), impressed the king (unknown value), nukalavee sword (belongs to us all, but Briant is apparently its designated keeper).

New posts are up! I unintentionally misspoke about further Winter capers. The campaign book is set up a bit weird, so that the 487 scenarios actually start in 486 but, well anyway, your knights are onto the next year. So consider the Glory you gained at Christmas Court to be the last for 486 and let's press on! Also, I saw this video and couldn't help thinking about the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hlIUrd7d1Q

So, this Winter's going to be clear, right? I've been working Hywel over since the game began, and because I started Briant at 26 (for maximum chargen power), he's getting close to 30, so he needs to seal the deal on this soon if a kid's going to come of age before Briant kicks it. I figure, I can finally take the guy up on his invitation to drop by, from way back when we kicked some Saxon rear end. That's where I'll make my move. I figure I've built up so much good will with the guy that he'll either be overjoyed to see Briant's interested, or will let Briant marry his daughter just to get the guy out of his hair. Either way, I'm good. Note that pretty much everything public Briant has done has, as much as anything else, been to impress Hywel. Even spending the majority of his ransom dosh on bling for the king was meant to impress Sir Hywel. Briant is going to stalk and Courtesy this man until his daughter (and her inheritance) are his.
