It is one of these recent hirings that has landed her in her current predicament. She was gaurding a caravan through Valentar when it was attacked by elves. Salina was knocked unconscious early in the fight and woke to find the caravan destroyed. She is slowly making her way back to the Planes, and looking for opportunities to take revenge on her employers killers.

By the way, the caravan she was guarding carried the personal effects of Searliad Dailraes, an elven scholar. He had passed away and his heirs where having his things brought to Taer Valaestasto be appraised.

“What? Oh Thail. No, there is nothing you can…”, she stops speaking as realization dawns on her face.
“Yes, there is something you can do for me Thail. I need you to stand in for my brother at the introduction ceremony tonight. You would be the perfect substitute because your ancestor was brother to my ancestor.”
She smiles radiantly at Thial.

I almost feel like I should have given Thial a "Sense Trap" roll on that one.

Will I be familiar with what will be required of me for this?

Here is what I had in mind.

The elf you took the place (Thial) of was a loner.

The Ancestor he was emulating ("Thial'an") was a loner, but the ancector did have a sister ("Vylea'an"), who happens to be the ancestor the bride emulates. (I don't think you were fully aware of that detail.)

So Thial & Vylea are very distant cousins, yet their culture would accept Thial acting as her brother.

As far as what she expects of you, you understand she is asking you to be part of her "Honor Guard", but because Thial does not have any brothers or sisters, or close friends, it would be natural for your character to ask her for more details.

That's almost as bad as "Do I look fat in this?" or "How's my hair?"

Good luck

BTW, am I being annoying out of character with carver's responces? (I don't care if I'm being anoying in character, that's a different issue.) I'm hoping to capture the essence of a "Gnomeforged" in a way

I don't mind, I'm just sorry I haven't come up with any good plot hooks for Carver (i.e. I haven't roped him into anything yet.)

"But what do you know of the ancestors of the elves involved in the wedding? I'd love to hear if they are playing out an ancient act of love or if it is true love come to pass. That is why you elves get married right?"

I was planning on saving this detail till the Introduction Ceremony, however Carver happened to ask Exactly the right question, of Exactly the right person. Even so I decided to require Carver to take his own Gather Information Check to see if the NPC would want to tell him. Carver gets his CHA bonus (+2), and a +2 assist other bonus from Jhonas, who already "loosened" the elfs tongue. I set the DC at 10 and rolled ...

6 (just made it )

I will be posting the answer soon, in the game. Shiva & Thaean would already know this information, and I'm sure even Kaelendor & Salina will end up hearing about it by the end of the "day" (in game time).
