[QUOTE="SirCharles, post: 5711462, member: 6673046"] Hey Everyone, In the first adventure after the Coaltongue debacle, there is a section where King Aodhan makes a speech to some people of Risur. I whipped up a short speech that people can use if you'd like. The text says his speech lasts 5 minutes but this probably won't take you 5 minutes to read out loud (unless you speak slowly and add some dramatic pauses). I intentionally left out the part where the King mentions he intends to marry a Danoran. Knowing how sharp my players are, I worry that they will immediately connect that the King will marry "the tiefling on the front of the book!" (Lya) who they meet soon after this speech. I wouldn't put it past my players to ask her outright when they meet her at the RHC headquarters either. So, I'm leaving that out. Feel free to throw a sentence or two in there about that if you'd like; I just don't think it will be best for my group. What I added instead was the mention of the King's wife (I made up a name since none was given, as far as I know), which should remind my players that he is single and currently without a Queen. I recommend a dramatic pause during the speech so it can really sink in for my group. Then, when Lya mentions their planned marriage at the end of the adventure, my players will more likely have a "WTF?!" rather than an "Duh, we knew that was going to happen" moment. I also threw in a line about his father fighting in the 2nd Yerasol War, just to give Aodhan a little more depth for my group. Feel free to modify this as you see fit. Hopefully this gives people something to read or a draft to create their own speeches. [/QUOTE]
