[D5 MA] Of Beasts and Dragons (closed)

Awake finally, Baelon leads his entourage of surly-faced Marsten men to Warrior's seat. Daveth had asked him to speak to Lord Haig about supporting the rebuilding efforts in the area.

"
Wait here."
He tells his minders as he approaches the Lord's solar. "
you know my task is on behalf of the Royal Investigation, and your presence will only anger Lord Haig. That would be bad for all of us."


[OOC: I figure another speed intrigue, as Day 6 is rapidly approaching. I think Gwyn will be with me as well. While waiting for confirmation, I will just do the setup]

Intrigue
[url=D5 Intrigue LHB Initiative][/url]: 4d6+2-1 15
[url=D5 Intrigue LHB Status(Breeding)][/url]: 4d6+2-1 11 (fails by the injury penalty...)
Disposition Amiable (+1 Persuasion, 3DR)
Intrigue Defense: 9
Composure: 9/9
Frustration: 0

[OOC: speed intrigue seems sensible before I go to sleep]
Haig Bracken
ID: 12
Composure: 9/9
DR: 2
[url=Persuade (Convince)][/url]: 5d6k4+3 19 = 3 DoS = 9 Damage - 3 DR = 6 damage to composure

[OOC: Initiative? Also, I had Lord Haig at affectionate, so that's actually a 21, though still only 3 DoS]

[ooc: he won initiative, think I rolled it already. Will go back and link it once I'm home. Apologies for I correction disposition. At affectionate you're nailed on for 1 wealth contribution, winning gets you 2 towards Daveth's relief effort]

Convince math: 4d6 (base) +1D (previous Charm) -1D (Bastard Born) +2 (BoV) +1 (Amiable) -1 (Injuries w/MoP) = 5d6k4+2

Mollifying:

Hotness reroll on the 11
[url=Hotness Reroll in Of Beasts and Dragons][/url]: 2d6 8
A 2 and a 6, which brings the 11 up to 17

[OOC: oops! no specialty dice on mollify, just straight persuasion, plus disposition (and Attractive and anything else that modifies Persuasion specifically)]

(OOC - Blast. What's the modifier for Indifferent again?)

[OOC: your disposition towards me, as it's me you're mollifying... so I presume +5 for affectionate :;
): ]

(OOC - Doh, ok. Fixed. )

[OOC: not going to reroll the the ones in the other rolls?]

For the sake of getting this wrapped up ASAP, I went ahead and rolled Lord Haig's other rounds.

Lord Haig Bracken's personal friendship and a desire to show-up the Blackwoods, or at least not to be shown up in turn, wins out over his limited funds and animosity towards Baelon's faction.

"
Seven knows it has been a hard winter, but House Bracken remembers its responsibilities. We shall do what we can for those who have suffered most, as many surely have form House Blackwood's predations."


Doubtless this meant surrendering some of the coin won in House Bracken's recent militaryt successes, but such was life - losing in the courts what was one on the battlefield. Still, Lord Bracken looked forward to the opportunity to win the treasures surrendered back in conflicts to come...

[OOC: House Bracken will contribute 2 wealth towards the relief effort]

"
Truly, it is in your best interest. This coin will revitalize your smallfolk, and the revenues you earn from their labors will exceed what you have invested."
