[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8230142, member: 7030144"] I'm glad you're enjoying it, Baron Opal! ------- Session 32 (cont'd) We set up a meeting with the illithid ambassador. The hostage train arrives. We move them into the palace. We set up a reception for the afternoon. We talk about what to do with the prisoner (from context, who attacked the prince?). If the prince asks for mercy, we’ll banish him. Word reaches Kit that the train is making its way slowly across the city, because the Prince has never seen a major city before. We receive the prince in the great hall. Kit is onstage, in a dress. Alistair is in full regalia. Dame Brionna is in armor. The heralds announce Prince Altyn oba Kurda Ulda Dangizach-Ronalonin. The particular formation of the name, with hyphenated last names implies that the Great Khan married (as his "first" wife) the craft mistress of one of the great crafts. It would take time to figure out which one, since each craft mistress is referred to only as "mistress of XXX craft" from the time she attains that rank until she dies - but this boy is the child of that craft mistress. 20 young women, in saffron and diaphanous robes and jeweled veils. They position themselves between all of the women in the room, except the ones on the dais, and the prince. The prince is very young, about 12, wearing very appropriate clothing. Sir Jennings walks along a couple of steps behind. There is also one older woman. “Greetings and honor to the House of Ashberry of the Archduchy of Canberry. I bring gifts and tribute from my father the Great Khan to the glory of the empire and of our … united people.” He seeks permission to do something, but is rejected by his about twenty year old sister. Kit is pretty sure he was going to plead the case of the farmer. We offer him a position as a page, which he accepts. I ask that you accept my cousin Parni if it pleases you, as … a lady-in-waiting in training, perhaps? You can do with my other women as you please, my lord. (He’s clearly trying to get free of their protection.) We accept Parni as lady-in-waiting. Parni is beautiful, about 20. Other women-- picked as children for exceptional ugliness. Old woman probably quite beautiful in their youth. Kit approaches the old woman. “After this, His Grace would like to meet with you to discuss the accommodations for the other women in the Prince’s company.” Sarasi, matron of the children of the Great Khan. She agrees to meet with Alistair privately. Kit notes that Sarasi is completely unarmed, but has many long worn indicators of where she carried weapons. [cont'd] [/QUOTE]
