Message: <blockquote data-quote="DM with a vengence" data-source="post: 1657071" data-attributes="member: 1679">So I've got this plan for an adventure.  The setting is basically George RR Martin's Song of Ice and Fire, specifically the Riverlands roughly ten years before King Robert's War.  Lord Hoster Tully has decided to force a wedding between Tytos Blackwood and Marianne Bracken, to end their historic feud.  Obviously, several groups don't want this to happen, and have disrupted the proceedings.  The PCs will be a group of lesser lordlings, squires, sellswords, singers, servants etc who want the wedding to go on, probably because Lord Hoster has made it clear that it'd be important to him that this wedding continue.The antagonists are the Brackens and Blackwoods, who don't want to get married to each other.  Other than that, it's people who'd benefit from seeing the Tullies take a fall, which brings to mind the Freys.  Their goal is somehow make Hoster stop the wedding, but not give him cause to raise an army and start playing the Rains of Castamere for the Brackens and Blackwoods.  A secondary objective is to conduct the operation in a way that slanders all the other groups involved, since they all hate each other.So now that we have a place, a time, a motive, and participants, we need a how.  How would you go about inconspicuously wrecking a wedding?-Sabotage the ceremony/feast.  Steal clothes, waylay supplies, forge invitations, and in general cause chaos.  Of course it's unlikely you could annoy Lord Hoster enough to make him give up, what with his reputation for stubbornness, but even if you've failed, you've made him look like a fool, which suits the Freys.-Increase tensions to the point where you simply can't have a wedding.  When you have several hundred armed men who actively hate each other, it's only natural that there would be a few duels and fights.  If the violence gets bad enough, Lord Hoster may simply call the wedding off rather than have a red wedding under his halls.  The Brackens and Blackwoods would be doing this already, and it'd only take a little inducement to start a war.-Get rid of the bride.  It's hard to have a wedding if there's no bride; you if you sneak here off and marry her to say, one of the Freys, then they can't have a wedding.  Of course Lord Hoster will be pissed off, but that's the price you pay in the game of thrones.Scene wise, I'd like lots of investigation and roleplaying, and at the moment of high tension, a trial by combat as the party confronts the Frey responsible as well as the Blackwoods and Bracken.  It's not a GRRM book without a trial by combat, and it's a good way to have some swordplay.Is there anything obvious that I'm missing and would greatly improve this adventure. I'm a little weak on specifics.</blockquote>
