![]() ![]() Keep in mind that if you have characters that are of a more martial nature, they're at a severe disadvantage without armor and weapons. ![]() Of course, if things get out of hand or the players don't get in to the whole banquet bit, it never hurts to have a fight or two in your back pocket - assassins, demons, whatever fits your game. and be careful that they don't slight any of the powerful nobles while doing so. Over the course of the evening, the group might accumulate a number of conflicting job offers that they need to choose from. The tough Marquess who has been in a dozen battles might seek out the warrior or barbarian, while the seductive Baroness goes to the handsome bard or sorcerer, and the leader of a knightly order speaks with the paladin. And probably not to the entire party - each noble likely has a particular type of person they're more apt to offer jobs to. I'd expect a lot of job offers to be flying around. well, you've got a lot of powerful people who have just been told that the guests of honor are tough and don't mind working for the nobility. and maybe a few oddballs, as well.Īs far as things to do beyond eating and dancing. Local merchants (the rich ones), other heroes, foreign emissaries, clergy, bards. Other than the PCs, servants and nobles, anyone of significant importance could be in attendance. what was the original purpose of the banquet? Was someone else to be honored, and, if so, are they going to feel slighted if they lose or have to share the limelight?Īs far as who would make the proclamation - are they merely being acknowledged, or are they getting significant rewards? How important is the Duke to the King - a relative? A very minor noble? The more important the Duke, the more likely the King is to thank the PCs himself.' Well, if the banquet was already slated and the PCs are being invited. Is this correct?ģ) Would the proclamation or bard’s tale come before the meal, or after, or between courses?Ĥ) What other events would occur during a royal banquet type of event? Of course, if the dwarf gets drunk and insults the queen or something, it won’t be quite so pleasant…ġ) Would the king make that type of proclamation, or would they possibly have a bard tell the tale in a story/song?Ģ) Other than servants or possible other honorees, I would assume that most attendees are members of the nobility. I had planned on the king making a public proclamation about the PCs’ heroism and have some NPC interaction planned, but want it to be a generally pleasant experience for the players. (It has been a bit of a dark campaign so far, so I wanted something for a bit of a change of pace, before it gets really dark…)Īfter delivering the message and hearing the PC’s story, the king was impressed and invited them to attend the royal banquet and/or ball the next night. Since the players had to then go to the capitol city of the kingdom, the rescued Duke-to-be gave them a message for the king, which included some glowing references about the heroics of the PCs. Plus, they solved the mystery of the Duke’s assassination and also rescued the Duke’s younger brother (now slated to be Duke) from certain doom. The players are getting up in level (7-8 range now, in a 3.5E campaign) and have saved a large town on the border of the kingdom from being overrun by the forces of the evil theocracy on their border. I am looking for some information on putting together a royal banquet type of event. ![]()
