As hosts, the PCs are expected to put up a substantial prize. Getting the curmudgeon smith to craft a singing golden songbird prize in a week requires doing him a favor (defeating the night hag who plagues his dreams after he stole, decades ago, her fiendish nymph daughter's heart?)Anyway, at the dance contest, every PC must make repeated Perform checks. Everyone who doesn't make Perform DC 12 gets tapped on the shoulder. A PC out in the first two rounds is so humiliated that he suffers a -2 on all Diplomacy checks in the surrounding lands for the next year. A PC who makes it to the last couple or two gains respect and prestige, a +2 on similar Diplomacy checks, and an invite to the King's Autumn Fire Ball.And of course in the middle of the dance contest, the thieves attracted by the ball try to steal the prize.And when the PCs are doing well in the dance contest, the disgruntled recurring villain who did not get an invite but snuck in disguised as a butler, rolls marbles under their feet.In fact, I think that's going to happen at the wedding coming up in my Long Island campaign...</blockquote>
