You awake to the laughter of children. From the rays of bright sunlight seeping in through the softly billowing curtains of cotton lace you realise you must have slept in. Used to sleeping roughly from your days squiring for Ser Arlen Rivers, at times no better than a common hedge knight, you find the goose-feather mattress and otterskin covers to be intoxicatingly comfortable. So much so that you worry it’s starting to make you soft.

Rubbing your bleary eyes you rise and look out the window into the courtyard. You can see Lisa and Beryl Gauthier laughing as Alan chases Aprille with a stick. Your momentary worry that this might be some sibling quarrel is dashed by Aprille’s shriek of glee as she manages to wrest the stick from your young brother and chase him in turn. A smile tugs at the corner of your lip.

It’s good to be home.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to House Gauthier Quest, a tale revolving around the heir of a House famed for the beauty of its daughters and gallantry of its sons. Set in the Riverlands 297AL, one year before the events of Game of Thrones, our land is one rich in food and farmland. Our family lives comfortably, our home closer to a mansion than a fort, our town more concerned with this health of this years lambs than whether bandits threaten to raze their homes. Our people are happy, hearty and in good health, having escaped the worst of the conflicts in Westeros so far.

All good things must come to an end. War is coming, and it falls to us to determine the fate of our our people, our family and our House.

A few notes before we begin.

1) No trips or names, posts from those other than Anonymous will not be counted. Plasma did the same in House Harrock Quest and I believe that worked quite well.

2) While I will post suggestions in greentext, making your own original or writing up a mixture is always possible, and indeed may work better than the options suggested.
A post that ends with
>
Is one where a write-up response is required without prompting.

3) Choices that require rolls will be voted on first, then rolled. I will be taking the first three votes and discarding the lowest.

You decide to invite Henri Redbrook to take lunch with you, the cooks are rustling up what smells to be a fine Duck rotisserie. That and it serves as a subtle reminder of who owes who fealty, a lord can’t chase after his vassals after all.
A servant informs you of his arrival in short order, showing him through the door to your own dining room quarters in the South Wing. A few years older than you, Henri has started to grow a beard since you last saw him. Unlike the auburn hair common to the Gauthier line, the Redbrooks have always leaned towards muddy brown. You spot faded streaks of blonde in Henri’s beard and locks, but that’s something you figure will fade out completely as he ages. Not one to be overly familiar, or perhaps an indication the seriousness of this meeting, Henri offers you a curt bow.

“Well met, young Lord. I thank you for agreeing to meet with me, and for your hospitality”

You try to ignore the wafting scent of the duck cutlet sitting on the table and respond. The two of you have met social events before, but you haven't had much opportunity to get to know him the last two years you were squiring.

>>46867060
Well met Ser Henri(he is a knight right) Salt and bread? Get formalities out of the way then ask what was the reason for requesting an audience.
>>
>>46867060
Greetings friend, come and enjoy the dinner, let's partake of the age old rites of salt and bread. Now what was this thing that troubles you so?
>>
>>46866594
>>46866677
>>46866843

I agreed to it as a justification for the green eyes and it's in line with our family doing well with arranging marriages.

However it's by no means a get-out-of-pillage card, your mother Cynthea Gauthier of Lannisport is a very distant relative of THE Lannisters. There is potential for an advantage there, but nothing really by itself.

>>46867106
He is not knight. You yourself are, but you earned your spurs in a tourney not in battle. You have yet to kill a man.
>>
>>46867199
>He is not knight.
That's really weird, why not? He's a bit older than Rotrick he should be now.
>>
>>46867199
All right then an appropriate title? He is someone's squire though right?
>>
>>46867258
It's not mandatory for young nobility to be knights.

>>46867311
He is no one's squire. 'Young Lord Redbrook' is appropriate, as you be 'Young Lord Gauthier'.
>>
>>46867472
Then Young Lord Redbrook and let's get the meeting started after bread and salt.
>>
>>46867199
>However it's by no means a get-out-of-pillage card,
Could always marry a Frey. We'll be golden.

Question, was our House loyal to the Targaryens during the Rebellion given our origins? Or did we side with our liegelord?

The young Lord Redbrook nods and joins you at the table. You settle into a fairly standard conversation over lunch, inquiring as to the health of such-and-such and concerns over this bit of court gossip or that. You have heard rumours of the current Lord Redbrook’s… ailment, and Henri’s reluctance to talk about his father with servants at hand all but confirms them. It’s a bit early in the day for wine but you doubt the glass or two you share will prove fatal.
The duck rotisserie is delicious, the skin covered entirely from peelings of some exotic yellow fruit imported all the way from Dorne. Finally, with a full belly and a satisfied groan from Henri you gesture the page, some stableboy your mother insisted on taking on, to leave the room, closing the door behind him. From there, the conversation takes a more serious bent. Henri voices his concerns over the mismanagement of Redbrook lands, how his father has alienated both the small folk and much of the soldiery with his draconian punishments for threats real or imagined, and about the attempted murder of Henri’s bastard brother Marten Rivers.
“You have to understand, if I say these words I can’t unsay them.”

Our father sided with our liegelord, House Tully. The Riverlands were the most divided during the Rebellion, and many houses that sided the Targaryens have had their holdings and influence much reduced.

Our own aunt Erin Mooton of Maidenpool sought refuge with her brother, our father, rather than remain with the family of her widow. Our cousins from her were adopted into the Gauthier line, but they are by birth Mootons.

Guessing that explains our last event being Ascent, something to bank on later.

>>
Henri's careful nonchalance fails to completely cover his hesitation.

"My father cannot continue to rule. He suspects his own shadows of plotting against him. I know that is ironic to say now, but in truth his paranoia is a self-fulfilling prophecy, he has driven away all those who might have been his loyal supporters. Now the only ones left are those who are profiting from their extortion of the smallfolk. Until now I had been content to wait until my time, repair the damage when I came into power naturally."

Henri Redbrook fixes you with a hard glare, with an expression that looks like he's trying to bite at the words as they come out.

"That was before he had me exiled. Exiled! And do you know what for? Because I refused to let him kill my half-brother."

Well written response will glean bonuses to rolls.

>B) Information (you are seeking further information, hoping to glean more about the situation.)
>C) Service (In return for your assistance you want something in return. Rights to River Road Tolls between your lands which the Redbrooks currently hold will do. Alternatively he may owe you in the future.)
>D) Deceit (you will fool him into thinking that you have agreed to help.)
>Other objective?


2) Disposition: The friendlier you are to the person you are engaged in intrigue with the easier it is to convince them, but the harder it is to deceive them.
>A) Affectionate

>Henri Redbrook has increased his disposition towards you from Amiable to Friendly. He is willing to take risks on your behalf, and is disinclined to betray your interests.


The young heir to Redbrook doesn't quite slump in his seat with relief, but you can tell he wants to.

"Thank you, Ser. I know what it is I have asked of you here. It is good to see that now as ever the Gauthiers are faithful friends to the Redbrooks, as we in turn shall be to you. Though Marten may feel differently, I have no wish to see my father dead. He is not fit to rule anymore, but I know in my heart the cruelties he inflicts on his people are from an illness of the mind and not a stain on his soul."

You can see this has troubled him for some time, and thank the gods that your own Father hasn't been so terribly afflicted.

"How do you plan to approach this, Ser?"

-----------------------------------------------
> "I will argue your case before Father. He will see the need to have our vassals ruled by those we can rely on when the banners our called." And you will have to do it before your sister gets wind of this, Father tends to listen to her advice more than is suitable in your opinion.

You find your sister pouring over a mess of scrolls in the Maidenhall Study. You recognise the striking backless velvet gown, usually she has her hair done up in white lace to match the ermine stole she’d wear with it. Not today though, on these bright summer days where the sun is shining and the winds sifting through the open windows carry the warmth of season with them your sisters prefers to let her hair down. You can see the fair maiden that saw her as the centre of attention for many knights at one of Lord Frey’s wedding tournament a year ago.

You remember that tournament for a lot of reasons actually, it was where you squired for The Blackfish and accounted yourself so well, breaking two lances against Ser Altin Frey and unhorsing the freerider Callous Caldrin, that Ser Arlen Rivers had you and Karles both knighted. But you also remember how the knights fawned over your beautiful sister just come-of-age, and how she had them wrapped around her fingers. No need for you to defend her honour, she had ways of ensuring those who displeased her suffer the worst of the attention from her other admirers in the melee. Maybe the others didn’t notice the little ways she incited them, but you did.

“Brother, how good of you to join me.” She smirks, glancing up from the parchment. “I was just revising my knowledge on the family’s lands and holdings.”

You decide not to broach the Redbrook matter just yet.
"Indeed? And what have you found out?"

“Nothing I didn't already know. As a matter of fact I was looking at how small our land is. Perhaps figuring out how many sheep we have and where those sheep are allowed to graze would be much less tedious if there was plenty of grazing land to go around.”
Genna returns to gazing with vague frustration at the map before her.

“Seeing as sheep can’t swim the Red Fork we don’t have to worry about the North, besides I fear dealing with the Blackwood’s and their dour old Gods would be dreadfully dull. To the East, the wide green pastures stretch all the way to Castle Darry, same for Stone Hedge and the Bracken’s ilk to the West. South offers some easy pickings for expansion, but the problem of there is of a different sort…”

----------------------------------------
> “Tell me more about the Darry lands, they’re not exactly in favour with the Crown or our Liege lord since the end of the Targaryens.”

Your sister can’t help but roll her eyes, she has little need to hide her true feelings when it’s just you. You suppose that means she either cares deeply for your or doesn't rate you at all.

“The sun shines, the sea is wet and the Brackens hate Blackwoods. It’s a foolish feud that I don’t doubt has been a constant headache for the Tullys, but it can’t be denied that they have a lot of land and it is good, fertile land. Perfect for raising livestock or growing crops, and between here all the way to Riverrun those two have the pick of it.

“Politically speaking the lands to the South are the least problematic. They are held on trust by the Tully’s for Lord… I forget his name. But the important part is that he is a widower, old and childless. The Tully’s currently earns no income from it and the White Fawn Gang has been a constant thorn in any endeavours they might implement. If we were to drive them out the Tully’s would be sure to agree to our request that the trust of such an unprofitable land be handed over to us. Free from the threat of the bandits, our lands would effectively double and timber could replace wool as our primary resource if we exploited it.”

Your sister doesn't bite her nails ever since the late Septa Goodrem starting caning her hands each time, but you can tell she has the urge to. Politics, manipulation, intrigue and social circles are where Genna feels comfortable, not in areas that require a bloody blade.

“The problem is twofold. First, that the White Fawn Gang isn’t just a band of robbers. This is only rumour and what my cousins have told me of survivors of their attacks, but their number could be anywhere between 300 to 500. Even were Father to call in our bannermen these bandits potentially outnumber us. I’m sure you have plenty to say about the strength of our arms and courage and so on and so forth but I don’t like those odds. And the Second problem is that if, however unlikely it may be, this Lord regains his faculties or worse sires more children all our efforts would come to nought.”

"Oh I'm sure you'll figure it out. I just don't want you or some other man to drag our forces across acres of woodland with nothing to show for it but dead troops and shattered pride.

>I am finding the complexity of the combat and intrigue systems increasingly frustrating. Each encounter actually entail many rounds of rolls

Won't claim to be an expert but for the system does have issues lending itself to the typical quest format without bogging yourself down in roll after roll after roll. If I know I'm going to be combat, intrigue, or warfare heavy during a thread I tend to sim everything out first in my prep and then work in the varying results of player intervention and decisions into those simulation. Makes things a bit easier.

Also not every intrigue or combat encounter needs to get into the nitty gritty of it. Dispositions are things you can do in the background and confer plus or minuses to the DC behind the scenes without getting into it in thread. I definitely understand wanting to give it a go the first time around and with the House and MC I can see intrigue playing a much larger part in this quest as opposed to my own, but make the system work for you, not the other way around. You're doing a good job of it thus far and I don't want to see you give up on it because the system is kind of wonky and lengthy.

So yeah.
Best of luck man, cheers from that other GoT QM.

God, getting into it again is near impossible with all the names I forgot.

If I was GARGH Martin, I'd take a tally of every character Dumb and Dumber have killed or not used or whatever and make them SUPER IMPORTANT to the Battle of Dawn in the last book.

I can understand that the OP found he bit more than he could chew with the system being all kind of fucked up but the correct thing to do would be to own up and say that he give up, not leave the quest hangin' mid-thread like a thief.
That's a cunt move.

With /tv/ still reeling over the Dorne fuck up, what do you think will happens in the tv cannon? Would the other Houses bend the knee to House Sneks?
Shame SleepyAnon didn't finish working on the Dornish House he created, now is the perfect time for the Lord Chancer to make a name for himself.

Yes, he did. I cannot fault him for giving up 'cause the system isn't meant for /tg/'s format, and I doubt many people use the multiple roll shit during every phase of the intrigue mainly at the start and the end and maybe at a midpoint.

The fault lies with how he fled like a nigger after being told he's about to become a father.

So, we talking about HBO Dorne and how it could profit /tg/?
