Re: The Two Tourneys *Replies needed by 29/10/16*

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

So, that appears to be 17 for both tourneys. Should make your list-making a bit simpler, Theo.
How is that coming along?

[Benedict Marsten]

1. Ben will be in attendance.
2. Drakeson and Bartheld
3. All events
4. Ellie: general attendance at both

[Theomore Tullison]

So starting at Drakeson, working on the assumption that Lord Tully got higher on his status test and probably had a few other things (location, politics etc) going for it. On that account, with some fiat on my end:

Notable NPC's in attendance:

From Dragonstone and vassals:
Prince Daemon
Prince Jacaerys
Ser Erryk Cargyll*
Ser Loreth Landsdale*
Lord Bartimos Celtigar

From The Riverlands:
Ser Eoric Tully
Ser Dermot Tully
Lord Forrest Frey*
Lord Lymond Mallister*
Lord Haigh Bracken
Ser Wyll Bracken
Ser Myles Blackwood
Lady Kerry Blackwood
Lord Dunstan Tullison
Lord Walys Mooton
Ser Florian Greysteel*
Ser Niall Lucas
Various other lords and knights of lesser influence.

The North and Vale:
Lord Cregan Stark
Lord Tomas Coldbrook
Lord Manderly
Lord Locke
Lord Sunderland
Lord Borrel

*Denotes a jouster of significant ability (assuming that the prince does not enter the lists).

[Theomore Tullison]

Same deal with Bartheld, though this time cross-referencing with Redwain wedding:

Ser Jon Roxton
Lord Dunstan Tullison
Ser Corbin Celtigar
Ser Manfryd Mooton
Ser Florian Greysteel
Ser Warrick Wheaton
Ser Niall Lucas
Lord Haigh Bracken
Ser Wyll Bracken
Ser Byron Swann
Ser Karl Fossoway
Ser Harald Peake

Various lords and knights of lesser renown from the region (most of them green-leaning, it's on a bit of an intersection between the lands of a couple lords paramount+king, 10 KoQ among them for the lists and melee).

While some important characters from the Drakeson list lacks jousting stats that we know of (Lord Mallister notably), I will be straight up assuming that only NPC's that we can dig up the relevant stats for from previous postings will partake in melee/jousting.

[Theomore Tullison]

Also fired off a pm to reader in case he wants a look and for Mallister stats (else I propose we assume he doesn't get into the final eight for the sake of expediency).

I'll have Theo tag along in the retinue of Lord Forrest, join the jousting fun (anyone watching him is going to be rather bored though).

People should also point other PC's to this thread, we're having:
Drakeson joust: Theo, Loreia?, Jorah?, Ben
Drakeson spectator: Ayleth?
Bartheld melee: Loreia, Ben, Ereth*, Alfred*, Baelon*, Davain*
Bartheld joust: Theo, Loreia, Ben, Ereth?, Alfred*, Baelon*
Bartheld spectator: Ayleth, Corrine*, Nathan*, Arlyn*, Daveth*

? denotes people who has said they *might* partake either here or in the event subforums. *denotes people who has said they'd be there in the event subforums but not here. There's some very obvious characters missing from a couple of these listing, maybe I missed them saying they'd take part but whatever.

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

Thanks very much, Theo. That is very helpful!

I am just back from London, so I'll be back in action once I have a rest.

[Ser Jorah Holt]

If members of the Royal family do attend, Jorah might be one of the Kingsguard sent along, though that is up to reader

[Theomore Tullison]

I say it should be more like this: If you want Jorah to be there, then he is one of the Kingsguard sent along. Because if Jorah's kingsguard membership prevents him from taking part in the story, then I'd consider to retire him as a PC and stat up a new one.

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

Quick check;
anyone know when the Bartheld tourney takes place? Either year &
month or when it is in relation to the Drakeson tourney.

[Theomore Tullison]

Sometime after Market Town, I believe.

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

Thanks! So 126/11 or after.

[Ereth Redwain]

Will participate in Davian tourney and do both melee and joust. Of course if I get to injured to perform one or the other I will have to bow out of that, but I intend to participate in that tournament.

The Drakeson´s I will wait for the mechanics, since my chances aren´t great and it will be full of powerful jousters. Accidents do happen.

[Theomore Tullison]

Suggested mechanics here:

viewtopic.php?p=89086#p89086

With some discussion after, but looks like it'll mostly be good to go as they are, so should be decent chances of at least breaking even methinks.

[Theomore Tullison]

Since I am interpreting reader's response as a blessing for the guest lists to be okay, I'll be proceeding to compile the stats of NPC's involved in the tournaments, for Drakeson I suggest that those marked with * goes through simulated jousts, and the rest does not. Any NPC I cannot find stats for in the Bartheld tourney will be assumed to either not partake or compete off-screen.

If nobody objects, I can also take charge of handling the setup of melee teams.

Hopefully everyone gets back in here to sign up once reader sends out his emails.

[Daveth Coldbrook]

I will be attending both tourneys, but not participating.

Also, I'm *hoping* to have my wedding/tourney during this downtime as well, but that depends on what deals are made wrt Market Town, so I can't commit to anything yet.

[Ser Alfred Haigh]

Ah, well... Ser Alfred will participate in both jousts and the melee. Let's see how much money he can burn this time !

Was hoping for a twist as Daveth's new martial wife leads to a change in outlook. :;

new outlook equalling being skewered or falling off the horse

[Anvil Gloom Knight]

1. If you are attending (I also want to hear from those who are opting out of either or both, to eliminate ambiguity).
Yes

2. Which of the two you want to attend (both is also a valid answer).
Drakeson Tourney

3. Which events (if any) you are entering. If you're not participating in the official tourney events, just write 'general attendance'.
Joust

4. Please do the same for any cohorts you have.
n/a

[Darron Greyjoy]

This is all assuming I have my character sorted for the 29th if not ill make a reply.

No cohorts.

[Davain Bartheld]

So I'm finishing out the finer points of my tournament but for the most part it done. I'm still working on the melee bracket and might change it to teams of three (let me know if this is a huge inconvience). For all intensive purpose the jousting bracket is one big bracket were your first match is randomly assigned and the rest of the matches proceed regular tournament style. For ease of assigning everyone randomly I broke it into 8 separate pools with 8 starting matches each. I will try and get a picture of all the pools up so people will have a general idea of what this will look like. All named PCs and Npcs along with the KoQ are all randomly assigned with a D8 rolls to decide which bracket and match you are starting in. I just went and added everyone who has said they are partaking in the joust from both thread in the bracket, but if they don't show they will simply be replaced with a Hedge Knight. Any late additions will simply replace a Hedge Knight.

Grand work mate, appreciate you stepping in. Gets all the knights a tilt, especially as we have some new(ish) ones.

Also good for the story and rivalries and a bit of dice-chucking to get back in to the swing of things as I polish off the offseason and finish writing the new story's events/objectives.

[Ser Walton Dulver]

Ser Walton will attend Daveth's[*] tourney, but only as spectator.

*meant Davain's...

[Gwyneth Drakeson]

Davain's, you mean?

[Ser Walton Dulver]

Davain's, you mean?

yes, Bartheld's... break was too long, I guess
