Thanks for the game Sir John of the Hughthom. I bow to you my good man.

[Beskar]

Because people might be interested, it was me who put together a range of events!

Obviously I cannot vouch for final product as John altered them slightly for balance reasons, but here they are.

A Dane and the boxom mistress (succeeded) (My favourite)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I will hire a mistress from a brothel to play the part of "farmgirl" upon the lands of A_Dane and attract his attention. Also a letter will be sent to the Bishop.

Event 1: [A Dane]
A Pretty Peasant Girl Catches your Eye as you past by a neglected chapel.
>Indulge in the Passion [condition 1]
>Try to resist the Passion
>Try to restrain the Passion
> Refuse the Passion

Event 2: [Jolt]
A letter arrives making accusations against another Irish count on the charge of heresy, speaking of witchcraft and defiling the holy sanctuary of the church.
> Investigate these allegations. [ condition 1 ]
> I have no time for this.
> Excommunicate this count at once!


Condition 1:
If both Event 1 and Event 2 pick this choice, go to event 3.
If only Event 1 picks this choice, go to result 1.
If only Event 2 picks this choice, go to result 2.

Event 3:
Your investigations lead you to come across a neglected chapel, inside you find a count performing some sort of ritual naked with a woman on the altar.
> Is there room for one more?
> I didn't see anything.
> Excommunicate the count!
> We need to root this from the core!

Result 1:
You spend a pleasurable evening with the farmgirl in the nearby chapel, good thing it is unused.

Result 2:
Your investigations lead you to come across a neglected chapel but you find it hasn't been used for some time, so you abandon your investigation.

The Heresy! (Didn't Succeed) [Note: Translation of the Bible out of Latin (in West) is a grave papal crime]

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I will use one gold to dress up one of my agents in the garb of a monk/holy man which appears entirely authentic if no further investigation is done to them (like investigating whether or not he does infact come from hertiage X, etc). Jolt gets informed if the Duke endorses him (option: 1,2,3).

Event:
A Holy Man arrives to the court of Connaught seeking an audience with the Duke. The guards convinced he is who he says he is, permits him to enter to make his announcement infront of the Duke.

"Great Duke, I have heard in passing that you a great man in spiritual matters and a true believer in the Heavenly Father. It has been my life's work to educate the people and bring them to the true faith, and I hope to count on your patronage in my latest work, the translation of the Bible into Irish. I am not yet complete in my task, but here are samples of my work."

The Holy man presents forward documents in Irish, including the Lord's Prayer, Ten Commandants and many others.

1. I fully support your work and I will generously contribute to it. (3 gold)
2. I hear your humble plea, here take this gold and I bid you good tidings. (1 gold)
3. I fully support your work, take up residence in my court and be our bishop. ( 0 Gold)
4. We do not support your work.
5. We have no time for holy men.
6. Begone foul beggar, we have no time for you or your stinking god!

Rumours! (Didn't Succeed)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

This time I will do a rumour mill, to cause rumours in the dukedom of Munster which should make the Duke want to possibly act on them! Which causes this event.

===

There has been rumblings of a storm brewing due to the presence of Pagans in the region with outlaying villages taking up torch and pitchforks. A petition has come before the Duke to settle the matter.

- Let's settle this matter once and for all.
- Evict the Pagans
- Enact new Anti-Pagan Legislation
- Let them sort it out themselves
- Pay to Investigate the matter more thoroughly and settle differences. ( -3 gold )
- Pagans? Who cares? [10% trait: Skeptical]
- The peasants need to be reminded who runs the Dutchy.
- Fine the peasants for their disruption. (+1 gold)
- Make an example of the peasants.

Drunk Duke (Unknown)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I will use a special mixture and have it delivered to Kagemusha's drinks for the tournament. This would make him very drunk so he makes a fool of himself during the games.

(Think of it like vodka being added, you cannot really taste it at all, and it doesnt matter if servants/etc drink as well, since it isn't poisonous so they won't be much suspecting of fool play, just a "little too much" to drink. )

So the effect is a drunk Kagemusha during the tournament and a prestige hit if he does badly. Possible piety hit too.

[Kagemusha]

Great stuff Beskar! The way my character was developing.I bet he would have faired only better drunk. About the piety, what piety, is that soemthing to eat?

[Beskar]

I am surprised you dismissed the Holy man though, Kage. I was certain you might have fallen for the ploy, in order to "better your relations" with the Bishop, since you was out of favour and that was packaged as a blessing.

Either that, or I was actually suspecting you might have walked into it intentionally if you knew about it, just to annoy the bishop and start the reformation 500 years early.
