Clearly, someone must have fed that horse something sinister, but who? and what? Ser Arlan? Someone wanting Redtusk eliminated from the competition? Something else entirely? Who could possibly see Ser Roland Redwyne as an enemy? Mayhaps it is all just a feint to divert attention?

[For Naive, what is meant by -1D to ‘Foul Play Involved’, mechanically? Is that -1D to all rolls in this task, or only -1D if assuming foul play, which would need to be declared in Orokos?]

[OOC: it looks like it imposes -1D to this set of rolls, as these are the "Foul Play involved" rolls. Were there foul play involved? -Awareness (Notice) TN 9 -Cunning (Memory) TN 9 -Luck TN 9 (Always 2d6, with Lucky/Blood of Andals daily use being free), TN 6 for character's affiliated with House Redwyne (includes Parmen) -Assists are not possible on this step.]

Roland interprets correctly, but not on the luck roll since that's just luck.

As with most common folk, Lynesse knew little enough about medicine and healing to diagnose this particular steed’s malady. However, in her studies she had come across relevant Lore. Bad Apple - Diagnose TN 12: 2d6 4Bad Apple - Knowledge (Education) TN 18: 5d6k4 19 1 DoS Bad Apple - Notice TN 9: 4d6 14 2 DoS Bad Apple - Memory TN 9: 4d6 9 1 DoS Bad Apple - 'luck' TN 9: 2d6 8 Which is a failure unless Roland carrying Lynesse’s favour over the course of the Tourney counts as being affiliated with House Redwyne during the tourney, in which case it is a success. I’ve interpreted the diagnose role as mandatory, given that Lynesse had almost no chance of succeeding it. If it wasn’t, and a failure imposes a penalty, I would certainly not have rolled it.

Lynesse and Trystane both remembers mention in a book somewhere that Basilisk Blood mixed into food could make whoever consumed it frenzied and enraged, mothers would savagely beat their child to death, dogs would rip out the throats of those who had cared and loved for them since they were puppies.
Asking around, Trystane hears that some stableboy fed Redtusk's horse with an apple just before the match, but no clue as to who he might be or where he might be found materializes.

Bad Apple Healing, Knowledge;Awareness;Cunning;Luck;Knowledge: 2d6 9 3d6 10 3d6 5 2d6 7 2d6 3 3d6 12- Fails every roll apart from potentially the last one. It would have taken a miracle for a man of Roland's focused talents to aid his friend and the seven did not grant him one. Still, as at Highgarden he proved adept at ferreting out gossip, but would he here the right tale?

A maester can tell Roland that it is plausible that Basilisk Blood could create such an effect, and goes on offering a lecture about The Faceless Men who supposedly were the first ones to make use of such things.

Trystane may not be in any way an expert, but these two findings, when put together, make for a decisive cause in his mind. Also a lead on a possible perpetrator, though he reckons it likely that the stable lad was carrying out someone else’s orders. And that person's identity and motive eluded him. Still, he had to tell Ser Roland what he had learned. Whatever he could do to help. Bad Apple - Report to Redtusk - Status (Reputation) +Chiv +Char: 6d6k4+3 20

{P2} Bad Apple: Awareness [TN9]: 3d6 11{P2} Bad Apple: Cunning [TN9]: 3d6 6{P2} Bad Apple: Feeling Lucky? [TN6]: 2d6 10. hmm...apparently Parmen is feeling very lucky indeed! {P2} Bad Apple: Knowledge(Streetwise) [TN?]: 3d6 6 Whathebloodysevenhellsbullshitisthis???Parmen was not too proud to admit that he was laughing when Roland showed up on a horse that looked ready to throw him at any moment. It happened sometimes, a wasp would sting a horse in a sensitive area and the horse would go nuts for a few moments until it calmed down. Except the horse never calmed down. Parmen watched with growing unease and then alarm as the beast seemed to grow more and more agitated, almost seeming like he viewed everyone and everything around him like an enemy to be trampled. Roland was able to manage well-enough, but Parmen was convinced that there was more at play here.

Lynesse also hears of the stabelboy and the apple, Parmen remembers nothing that might have indicated foul play.

Redtusk is not surprised such things could be involved, trained warhorses does not react like that. In the absence of any leads to pursue, all he can do is to have guards posted to ensure no further such mischief may occur.
