ROYAL 🍞 SECRET PAGE.

Sup guys! Here's where we're going to be going over ~secret info~ for the Royal Pain mission.

I was thinking the way we'd run this would be similar to a D&D sort of thing. I give you guys some scenarios. You tell me what your characters would do. If I think it's particularly difficult or risky, we'll do a skill check, but that'll probably be rare (unless you want to TRY for something particularly unlikely and REQUEST a skill check). I'll tell you what information your characters find, and they can relate it to the rest of the game as you wish. Sound good?

FIRST OFF all your guys' names will be absolutely impossible to pronounce for French people... except for you, John Neige. For Daenerys, it might be a good idea to just go as Dany, since the name Danielle exists, though it's very rare at this time in France. Ashitaka... well, people will probably assume Ashitaka is at least partially Chinese, so you can really do whatever. Basically: if you want to come up with names for your personas, lmk! Or if you wanna handwave it, that's cool too!

ALSO for the benefit of transparency, once this mission is over, we'll be making the post public so players can see everything that went down behind the scenes!

It turns out that Colin is also new, and also pretty oblivious to a lot of the political concerns of Paris. This is because, of course, he's from the countryside away from Paris. They don't know much about Colin or his opinions; he's always carefully neutral. He has an odd habit of disappearing when it's not his turn to be on guard duty, however. No one really knows where he goes. But when it's time for him to do his job, he does it, and what more can they ask?

Let's say they successfully make their way into the king's rooms. None of it seems particularly out of the ordinary, beyond an assortment of various locks, all with adjoining keys. The king is famously a hobbyest for technical equipment and puzzles of that sort, from clockmaking to locksmithing. Each key has a lock to match it somewhere on the king's workdesk... except one.

How odd.

The soldiers indulge Ashitaka-- he's a strange man, but they like him for his strangeness and his honesty and his obvious strength. They don't think a bloodless conclusion can be reached. The nobility refuses to give an inch. The time for change is now, and if the nobility keep ignoring it, well... that's their fault.
