 you  didn’t  forget  about  us,  did  you?  in  your  eagerness  to  celebrate  a  new  union,  thoughts  of  our  little  messages  had  gone  all  but  forgotten  by  so  many.  but  we’re  not  so  easily  forgotten,  not  so  easily  dismissed  or  halted.

 let  us  leave  a  reminder  in  a  way  you  might  take  to  heart.

 a  message  in  flame.

 as  our  nobles  are  winding  down  on  a  night  of  dornish  fun,  as  they  prepare  to  bid  the  new  couple  goodnight,  screams  sound  from  the  depths  of  the  extravagantly  decorated  ballroom.  fire  has  caught  to  the  many  tapestries  hung,  quickly  spreading  to  every  surface  possible.  the  screams  intensify,  bodies  scrambling  out  as  smoke  and  flame  fill  every  space  of  the  room.  

 guards  pour  from  every  corner  of  the  palace,  buckets  of  water  begin  passing  down  lines  of  any  willing  to  help.  for  a  few  moments  there  are  no  nobles,  no  commonfolk,  no  dornish,  no  southerners,  just  people  seeking  to  stop  great  tragedy  from  striking.  

 of  course,  not  all  stay  to  help,  and  trust  the  martells  see  who  is  so  unwilling  to  save  their  home  after  their  hospitality  has  been  offered.

 but  those  who  came  together  succeed,  the  flames  smothered  in  water  and  weary  bodies  slowly  filter  off  to  bed.

 come  sun  rise  they  are  given  a  new  edict  from  the  ruling  princess  martell,  the  gates  of  the  palace  are  closed,  none  in,  none  out.  our  characters  once  again  find  themselves  trapped  in  the  aftermath  of  tragedy,  another  royal’s  iron  fist  eager  to  seek  out  those  who  sought  to  harm  their  own.

OOC INFO

as you can see, we end all weddings with a bang!

this plot drop is not optional, all threads from here on must reflect these events. all characters are now unable to leave sunspear’s palace until further notice.

you do not have to drop your event threads though it is highly encouraged to do so. all players may have one free starter, but again we are telling, not asking, everyone to make the effort to also reply to opens and not solely focus on closed threads. unlike the event, we will be handing out warnings to those players who have not responded to any opens after some time has passed.

if you are interested in having characters be involved in this plot drop, please dm the main and remember that some things are limited so asking is a lot kinder than telling.

options for involvement include those who fled rather than helping put out the flames, those injured in the mass escape from the ballroom, deaths (npc or otherwise), victims of attempted kidnappings, and those who may have been a shining star amongst the helpful ( i.e. helping others out of the fire, tending to wounded, one of the first to jump in to help put out the flames ) this does not mean everyone who helped, just those that were the most helpful/notable.

INVOLVED

deaths ;; ranida fowler. vamond velaryon. malaessa velaryon nee belmore. ormond yronwood.

fled to their rooms/missing in action ;; pimchanok targaryen. daegon greyjoy. valeria bolton. keiran bolton. lukas harlaw. myranda bolton. alarra goodbrother. agnar bolton.

injured ;; achara fowler. denyse martell nee redwyne. jeyne lannister. guinevere lannister. brandon reed. melina hightower. ku’ahn allyrion. vivienne beesbury. vareena tyrell. tobias tarth. loreon lefford. ravella stark. viyanna martell.

nearly nabbed ;; alexia stark. sharra martell nee arryn. lyanna stark. nymeria martell. maery greyjoy. mara martell.

just like we mentioned in the plot drop, here is the accompanying optional task ! please note that you do not have to participate in this task to throw your characters in the ring for further drama, but it does make it more fun ! 

𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

each character will arrive into the throne room of sunspear to find the ruling princess seated at her throne, her small council around her including the hand to the right, and the lord commander to the left. seated at the smaller thrones near the ruling princess are crown prince ryon martell and his wife denyse, alongside them are the former ruling princess and prince consort. the series of questions offered to each are read from the master of laws.

when did you arrive in sunspear ?

what were you doing the day of the wedding ?

did you leave the festivities at any point during the ceremony or reception ? where did you go ? did you return ?

did you see anyone leave ?

what were you doing when the fire began ? what did you do in response ?

where do you think the fire started ? do you have any ideas on who might have started it or how they might have gotten in ?

do you know any of the victims of the fire personally ? do you suspect any foul play ? would anyone wish to see them harmed ?

who do you think the targets of the attacks and fire were ? do you think some were used as a smoke screen ?

what were you doing yesterday morning ? ( the day of the murder ) did you see or hear anything unusual throughout the day ?

what do you know about the recent murder ? are you aware of the victim or who might have desired them dead ? do you think the victim is tied to anyone in sunspear ?

are there any houses of people you suspect may have any involvement in these attacks ? are you suspicious of anyone ?

have you seen or heard anything that could be of use to the crown at this time ?

do you have anything else you’d like to share ?

𝐨𝐨𝐜 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨

remember this is not mandatory as we will never do that, but it is in good fun, and delicious chaos. this line of questioning will involve plot drops eight + nine

if you wish to have your characters face repercussions for their answers, dm the main. please note that we are big on realism, if you don’t want them in the dungeons don’t have them answering rudely or being total asses.

answer in order, and in character. 

the follow up to this will be around april 17th, but more updates will be given closer to as we want people to have the time they need to complete this and not slight anyone who may want to participate !

if you have ANY questions please do not hesitate to ask !!
