Just to make sure we're all on the same page, Hywel's daughter isn't yet old enough to be married. e: Certainly Briant can gain a betrothal, though... he just has to survive the next couple of years (and probably make sure both Hywel and his daughter don't get killed by Saxon raiders or pillaging knights in the meantime).

Ah, that is helpful information, and useful, because betrothals hinge almost entirely on the parents, rather than having to at least try to impress the potential bride, which has little chance of working out for Briant, given his poor skills at any actual sort of talking besides Courtesy. Hopefully my Winter d6 rolls well, so I can start diversifying Briant's social portfolio.

Oh, hey, I want to make sure before I do it, but, "loyalty" was the first thought that came to mind for what Briant would claim is the most important virtue, due to having twenty on his loyalty towards the rest of the group. Is that kosher to use as a defense? I don't wanna seem like I'm trying to cheese it, it just seemed like that sort of loyalty, colored, of course, by his other strong traits, would be what he sees as most important. Not that I don't like the idea of trying to spin Arbitrary into a positive, aggressively BSing everyone around him is kind of Briant's schtick and all.

Okay, so Briant has earned a whopping 118 Glory this year, before annual bonuses. However, not sure how, but my Google Doc has it as 158, which is gonna bug me for the next month because I have no idea where the extra forty came from. I could have just added the 118 to my running total from the game thread without noticing that they were actually the same numbers, but that can only explain the 25 from court at Lindsay, leaving fifteen points unaccounted for. Next year, I'm watching those numbers like a hawk, this isn't the first year I've had mystery points slip into my tabulation, the document was intended to avoid that issue. Hopefully one of you guys'll realize what went wrong. Also, if the betrothal counts as a "Unique Honor", let me know. Anyway, time for skill rolls: Sword: 9, no raise Courtesy: 17, raised to 16 Hunting: 6, no raise Arbitrary: 19, raised to 17 Proud: 12, raised to 11 Prudent: 16, raised to 11 Generous: 1, no raise Loyalty (Knights): 3, no raise Hatred (Saxons): 1, no raise Now for my training. Briant doesn't really need focused training as much as he needs to be more well-rounded, and it doesn't look like he'll be making much progress this year. As it's proven a fairly critical skill of late, Briant will be practicing his oratory (by talking into a mirror, if The Sims has taught me anything). Now, family events, the most fun part of any Winter Phase! There's been a wedding! The groom is Briant's And, with my current annual Glory of 91 (85 from Traits/Passions, my Loyalty having gone up to 20 back in the Summer from that crit, 6 from land), Briant now has a whopping 209 earned Glory, for a new total of 2094! I shall put my bonus point into Dexterity, since the next bonus point I get, if also added to Dexterity, will bring my Movement up to 3. Besides, in terms of physical attributes, Briant's more concerned with combat than looks. An update character sheet will be posted shortly.

I love that Pellogres crits his "gently caress you trial by combat, motherfucker" roll immediately after fumbling his Forgiving roll (and getting a check to Vengeful IIRC!). Trial By Combat is certainly a holy act, and Pellogres is definitely acting very Old Testament.

Moving this to the OOC Thread:ibntumart posted:Rhun Yay! So: XP checks. Earlier we had the following list of confirmed things I can check: Dancing (10) Loyalty (Knights of the Hound) (19) (was 18 at start of year, increased to 19 when critted) Sword (18) Courtesy (4) Hunting (2) Reckless (10) Religion(Pagan) (10) Rhun should also receive a check to Hospitality (16) for a successful Passion roll; he may have a check for Flirting (10) if his roll in this post was indeed a crit (I never got a confirmation either way, though Adwen's responses to Rhun lead me to believe it may well have been). I'm going to assume that it was, for the purposes of rolling for experience checks, and if it turns out I was wrong I'll just discard any increase that happens due to that roll. So that's nine experience checks: Experience checks: 9#1d20 6 9 20 10 18 9 5 4 19 Dancing of 10 does not increase; Loyalty 19 does not increase; Sword increases to 19; Courtesy increases to 5; Hunting increases to 3; Reckless of 10 does not increase; Religion (Pagan) of 10 does not increase; Hospitality of 16 does not increase; Flirting increases to 11. Four out of nine is actually really quite good, especially when one of them is Rhun's primary combat skill! Next step is Aging; Rhun becomes 25, no rolls needed. Economic Circumstances: Rhun is maintaining himself normally; he blew a lot of cash on his nuptials, after all. Horse Survival Rolls: Horse Survival Rolls: 5#1d20 14 18 15 18 1 Oh no! Horse #5, Rhun's spare Rouncy, expires. Well, that's what he had a spare for to begin with, one supposes. Step Six is Family Rolls, where marriages happen, so before I go any further, three (and a half) questions for ibntumart: 1) Adwen's dowry includes manors. Do I calculate income from them this winter? I'm assuming not, since none of the upkeep of that land occurred while Rhun was in charge of it, but it's worth checking. 2) What's Adwen's Glory? I receive an amount of Glory equal to hers (up to a max of 1000) and she receives 1000 Glory from me. 3) Will Rhun be permitted to generate a Love (Adwen) Passion? It's not strictly guaranteed - we're not in a very romantic era here! - but from the way they seemed to click I'd suspect such could grow. 3a) If the answer to the above is "yes," the book tells me to roll 3d6; at the GM's option the modifiers for the Amor passion in Appendix 1 can be used, so I'll let you decide which, if any, modifiers should come into play. Also, I look forward to moments of Introspection.

Whoo, thanks! The modifiers for an Amor Passion - which can at GM's discretion be applied to a Love Passion - are as follows. I've italicized the ones I think Rhun and/or Adwen could benefit from, on the off chance that they're applicable.
Initial roll: Love (Adwen) Initial Value: 3d6 11 So that's an initial value of eleven, plus or minus any modifiers you okay tossing in. Not the highest ever, but we can work on that. So, the rest of Step Six, Family Events: Family Events: 1d20 1 Aww, who died?: 1d20 19 a Death in the Family! Looks like one of Rhun's cousins. Aww, that's a bummer. Right after the wedding! (edit: gonna assume that's one of the Young Knights that Rhun can call on and adjust his forces accordingly) Step Seven, Training. This is actually a really hard decision! I'm going to improve a Trait by one - namely Lustful. It's a religious trait and Rhun's a newlywed. From a purely mechanical standpoint it would be smarter for me to chase after trying to get the Chivalry Bonus (those 3 points of Armor matter), but from a purely roleplaying perspective Rhun has deliberately emphasized his faith often enough that he really should be trying to embody it. Step Eight, Compute Glory! Rhun started the year with 2150 Glory; Glory for rolls was meted out at 10 per crit Sword roll and 10 per crit Loyalty roll, giving Rhun an additional 30. He gets 95 for his deeds during the year, his Annual Glory Awards are 137 points, and he gets 740 for marrying Adwen. That brings his total to a whopping 3152 Glory. Step Nine, Glory Bonuses! Rhun gets one of these this year, a point that he can add to anything (except SIZ); Rhun will improve his Lustful by one once again, making it one point away from being famous and getting me even closer to that Religious Bonus. Updated character sheet to follow! (edit again: Holy crap, I forgot Adwen was heir to six manors!) DivineCoffeeBinge fucked around with this message at 06:59 on Nov 13, 2015 |

So it's been a while... I know momentum is hard to pick back up, but I do want to see where the Knights of the Hound end up (besides, this game has gone on for a couple of years real-time---I hate to see it just fade away!). If we're going to move forward, I'd like to get through any Winter phase stuff this weekend and start the next year. I'm about to take a swig of cold medicine, but when I'm less loopy in a few hours, I'll try to hang out in the SynIRC chat for a while tonight and tomorrow (#GPC_Chat).

Running some winter rolls, it looks like the only experience check benefit I got was a +1 to Vengeful. Onto family rolls, Family Rolls, Family Rolls, cont.. So a cousin is missing or lost! So that's two family members disappearing now, hopefully my next winter phase might yield some information... Onto training. Might as well see how much I get to add to skills...And there we go. Bumping up Orate to 9 with that since it's been a pretty hot commodity lately. Have to do glory next, but I'll wait until I'm certain my solo scenario is finished since I'm not sure if there's another post in that or not.
