<h3>Between Rosalin Denisco - head of house Denisco of <strong>Seqano, and Emmerin di Scillante of Romeno</strong></h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li> </li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<pre><code class="language-plaintext">Denisco:
|
||
Wringing: Strong, indirect, sustained. Pitch up 1/2 octave
|
||
Somewhat dry and strained voice, showing her age. Speaks in a slow tempo, with low volume as to not strain her voice too much.
|
||
Friendly demeanor, with an undertone of "I'll destroy you if you cross me".</code></pre>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<pre><code class="language-plaintext">Emmerin: Do a "hmpf" i mellumgulvet, og bare hold den mens du snakker.
|
||
Gliding: light, direct, sustained. Pitch up 1 octave.
|
||
Mannerism: Super sore/coarse, old voice. Slow tempo and slightly low volume.
|
||
Do the "hmph" as if trying to take a shit, and you got the voice.
|
||
Interaction:
|
||
Clever. Dignified. Friendly. Oportunistic. Shrewd. Political.
|
||
Authoritarian - weak voice his words give away that what he says has real weigh.
|
||
Determined.
|
||
Restrained and very Calculating - doesn't show his "hand" if he doesn’t want to.</code></pre>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Emmerin: I assume you too want to petition me for a meeting with Ravanelli?</li>
|
||
<li>Denisco: Astute of you. Yes. It's becoming a rather paramount subject for my family.</li>
|
||
<li>Emmerin: I apologize, but my answer to you remain the same as to the others. Duchess Ravanelli remains too ill to meet with anyone at the moment.</li>
|
||
<li>Denisco: I'm afraid I have to insist. Our current situation is simply becoming unsustainable.</li>
|
||
<li>Emmerin: If I were to convince the Duchess to give your family an audience, she'd also have to grant one to every other family that seeks one. That's simply something her body cannot handle in her current state.</li>
|
||
<li>Denisco: Then neither you nor Ravanelli truly understand how die the situation here is. Our waters are infested with monsters. None of our ships can leave without a military escort, and we do not have the resources to safeguard both our sealanes and the Red Forest. The Navara's have lost their entire home to the freaks. Both Terrizzi and Sestiro have their hands full dealing with bandits that are raiding our land-routes. How long until our subjects decide we are no longer fit to rule?</li>
|
||
<li>Emmerin:</li>
|
||
<li>Denisco: If Ravanelli is no longer fit to rule, then someone else should take her place.</li>
|
||
<li>Emmerin: You are speaking of treason.</li>
|
||
<li>Denisco: I'm not. I'm merely stating the obvious. It is Ravanelli's role to support and protect her subjects - us included. If Ravanelli cannot give us the support we require in our time of need, then we'll have to look for it elsewhere. I am not so loyal as to stand idly by waiting for my family to be placed on the chopping block. Mark my words, I'll do whatever it takes to protect my family. Tell her that – tell Ravanelli that if she does not soon return from her absence and start supporting us in our need - then she will no longer have our support.</li>
|
||
<li><Denisco leaves></li>
|
||
<li>Perception check: For a second there's just the tiniest hint of a satisfied smirk, though he quickly composes himself and goes back to his regular demeanor.</li>

<h3>Conversation between Te'lik and Rahier</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Rahier: Stop complaining.</li>
|
||
<li>Te'Lik: Why? You interrupted my big night. I was to be the star of tonight's peformance. I was to be admired by the entire Nightstar tonight!</li>
|
||
<li>Rahier: You agreed to your role, and you will fulfill it.</li>
|
||
<li>Te'Lik: I agreed to play the role of headmistress. At least Moretti was of noble blood, not like this DISGUSTING commoner skin.</li>
|
||
<li>Rahier: You will play the role we need you to play. When we rule, the Nightstar will be yours. You can be the star any day and any night you want. Now, does the servant know how to enter without alerting Navara?</li>
|
||
<li>Te'Lik: Yes, though he does not know exactly where the documents are.</li>
|
||
<li>Rahier: No worries. Just show me the way back in and get back upstairs. You still have a role to play tonight.</li>
|
||
<li>Te'Lik: (ehh) As you say.</li>
|
||
</ul>

<h3>Meeting with Rahier</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Rahier: You are not who we expected, but you are withing our parameters. I'll make this brief: You are on the wrong side of history. You getting past our tools show some modicum of skill, so I'll offer you a choice: Join us, or be eliminated.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Rahier: (You are) not who one would commonly expect to show up here, but it's still within our parameters.<ul>
|
||
<li>Getting to be shows you have at the very least a modicum of still, so we'll be gracious and offer you an opportunity.</li>
|
||
<li> </li>
|
||
<li>We live in a false reality. Those who rule - those who try to decide our fate - are corrupt and incompetent. Does the Diostri not decree that those with perseverance and competence is to given what they justly deserve? Have you looked at Marcandria recently - can you truly say this to be true?</li>
|
||
<li>We will make everything as it is supposed to be. Those whose lives have been restrained, whose been restricted and pushed down by those <in power>, shall be given what they deserve. Everyone shall be given what they rightfully deserve. All who deserve more shall be given more.<ul>
|
||
<li><i>(In two points above, Rahier is making a statement against what he feels is injustice against him from the deities and those in power. He believes their restrictions is hindering him from finding a cure to his ailment. “Those who rule” refers to both the nobility and the Goddesses for him, as he blames the deities for reality lacking sufficient magical sources for Rahier to accomplish his goals. With “all who deserve more”, he's talking about himself - he deserves more than to die from his current ailment.).</i></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>The current order are one their last days. They are now but ants in our grand game. We have plans for everything. Every outcome. Every eventuality has been accounted for. For every thread cut a thousand more is there to take its place. Soon, we will control Marcandria.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li> <ul>
|
||
<li>Our offer is simple: Join us - when we rule Marcandria, you'll be given what you justly deserve. All we ask for in return is your commitment and loyalty - that you serve our cause in whatever manner we ask of you. Refuse, and be eliminated.</li>
|
||
<li> </li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Rahier (if accepting): There's a Fedell Getilli here tonight - a member of the Wayfarer's Union. He is to quietly disappear. Permanently. There will be no loose ends… Do NOT interfere with anything else that's to occur this night.</li>
