"My Lady Footly," He sat up taller, his pride slipping through, "I am Ser Robyn Redwolf, second son of House Starkwood; I earned these spurs from Redtusk by saving Lady Falyse Blackbar from a fate I wouldn't wish on my greatest enemy, I stormed The Warrior Seat and beat Otho Bracken in combat. A tested knight who has overcome unthinkable perils time and time again. I am offering you my devoted and unwavering assistance, that isnt something I do for everyone," Robyn leaned in closer, a soothing smile accompanying his words, "But I will give it to you, if you will let me,"

It is difficult to tell if Robyn's display leaves any impression on her.
Wenda Footly: ID: 11 DR: 2, +2 to persuasion. Composure: 12 Objective: Leave me alone (Convince) Convince (technically anyway): 6d6k4+2 174-3=1 influence done. +1 Disposition step towards Robyn at end of intrigue, if intrigue doesn't alter it otherwise.

Robyn takes a moment to watch her, letting the silence sit in the air as he tries to read what she was thinking. TAF: Act 2- Round 2 Read Target: 5d6k4+1 20 That should be a success, and just so I know, that is a +1D for the rest of the intrigue, correct? Objective: You can trust me to help you (Convince) ID: 13 DR: 3, +1 to persuasion Composure: 10

"Can't you tell me anything? A name, what happened, anything?" Robyn was trying to be subtle, but her silence was beginning to weigh on him. "No one will harm you, I swear. I will defend you with my life, as long as you tell me the truth,"
TAF: Act 2- Round 2 Influence (+1D from Read, +2 from Chivalry, +2 from DR): 5d6+4 18 Wrong Round Label. TAF: Act 2- Round 3 Influence (+1D from Read, +2 from Chivalry, +2 from DR): 5d6+4 28 4 DoS for 4*3= 12 -2= 10 Influence Not sure if Frustration works as wounds, but I do not want to hit 0 Composure. If it does not, then I will take a frustration before her turn to prevent the possibility of losing next turn. Otherwise, will spend Frustration when required. Objective: You can trust me to help you (Convince) ID: 13 DR: 3, +1 to persuasion Composure: 5

Wenda keeps saying nothing, as if sitting there like that will make Robyn and her other problems eventually just go away.
I think it's +1 from disposition for +3 total, but doesn't change anything. ID: 11 DR: 2, +2 to persuasion. Composure: 2/12 Objective: Leave me alone (Convince) Convince: 6d6k4+2 263*4-3=9 influence. Taking frustration means you regain composure equal to will rank and ID is lowered by 2, so to keep going you'd have to take 2 frustration for +6 composure and -4 ID, and you'll have only 1 more frustration available (will rank).

Mya plays the game of thrones, too, Ysilla grimaces, more entertaining to watch than other schemes, but schemes are schemes. Besides, Denyse is arrogant and very much not nice, she could use a little humbling.

Laena takes a moment to consider Ysilla's response and how it revealed how best to sell her idea to her sister. "I very much agree that a humbling is long overdue. However, despite how unpleasant she is, there are fates far worse than what she deserves currently hanging over her. She only barely avoided one very, very *large* one, which I would not wish inflicted upon any lady. And if *that* was an option, then *anything* is." Implying the same story she'd said at Lord Peake's Grand Hunt. "So, I've had an idea rattling around in my head for a while, to simultaneously embarass her, and hopefully spare her such a dark fate.
"My thought was simply this: were she to willingly be seduced by a man, and be caught doing so, it would not only be rather humiliating, it would also hopefully have her sent to a motherhouse, and safely distant from any ... unpleasant fates. It may even help her character. And the well-laid plans of her grasping parents would be ruined by their well-laid daughter.
"It is a mere idea at this point, lacking many key parts - 'who', 'how', 'why would they', and so forth. But I thought I would see what you thought of it. It's only embarrassing one stuck-up lady, rather than a few random knights, but I thought it might serve as something of a consolation." Of course, Lord Farman was a natural fit for her plan, and Ysilla would know how best to lure him into it, but Laena didn't wish to reveal her hand - better the idea occur to Ysilla naturally, so she felt investment in the plan. She may even have a better idea.

His eye twitched slightly as he shook his head, letting out a heavy breath as he placed his hand on hers, "Lady Wenda, I will not just sit here and do nothing. Since you have yet to tell me anything, I will confront Arys of my own accord for what I can only *assume* he did," Robyn's hand squeezed hers tightly before letting it go, standing up to look for something to cover her with, "You have every right to act as you are, but if you wallow in this forever, then you will become your pain. It will change you into something no one will recognize, not even yourself. I am offering you a chance for justice: take it or leave it," he grabbed a nearby curtain, tearing it to gently cloak over her shoulders, kneeling down once more at eye level, "But I will no longer idle while rapists run rampant,"
My mistake! I thought the opponent's +# beside their DR was for me to use on my persuasions Spending Final Point of Frustration to gain +1D and +1 Influence per DoS. TAF: Act 2- Round 4 Influence (+1D and 1 Influence per DoS from Frustration, +1D from Read, +2 from Chivalry, +1 from DR): 6d6+3 30 4 DoS for 14 Influence after DR. He will most likely lose here, considering he is out of frustration, down to 7 ID, and has only 2 Composure, but making her Use all frustration or lose the intrigue is the best he could do. Or who knows, maybe she will roll 6 1s Objective: You can trust me to help you (Convince) ID: 7 (-6 for 3 Frustration) DR: 3, +1 to persuasion Composure: 2/11 Frustration: 3/3

"You can't, I didn't want to, I didn't mean to." More tears starts flowing again from her eyes as she finally opens up a little, but by enough for Robyn to put the puzzle together. "I said no, I said please, he wouldn't stop, he wouldn't stop, and then..and then it was all over, I was standing over him with a hammer in my hand" She starts to shake like a leaf at the thought. "You can't help me, nobody can".
14 means she needs to take 4 frustration for 16 back- ID: 3 DR: 2, +2 to persuasion. Composure: 4/12 Frustration: 4 Objective: Leave me alone (Convince) Convince: 6d6k4+2 14 yeah, that's a defeat, but about as close to a draw as it gets. Not enough to get her out of her despair state of inaction, but at least he got her to drop the bombshell.

Robyn's eyes widened slightly, processing what she said before he shook his head, trying to focus through the shock. The numerous questions he now wanted to ask were greatly overshadowed by the realization that Arys was most likely dead.
Good.
Even though a majority of those present wouldn't view it that way, Robyn harbored immense hatred for anyone who wouldn't respect a woman. Arys got what he deserved, probably far better than. But Lady Wenda was in shock, and once the rest discovered his death Lord Walgrave would undoubtedly start a fury fueled manhunt. One that would end in bloodshed.
"Wenda, where is his body?" Robyn dropped the pleasantries as his tone shifted, "There are very few people who can help you now, but I know of at least two that can. If you cannot move, I will carry you to them, or you need to *stay hidden* until I return," he gave her a reassuring smile, "There are people who will see things from your perspective and support what you did to defend yourself. I do, unwaveringly. But soon we will have to leave, and fast,"
So I am not sure how the intrigue effects this, but Robyn wants to make sure someone can help her, even if she did convince him to leave her alone. After her answers and things, he is going to go look for Redtusk. He can help more than any other person Robyn can think of, and will most likely not use her tragedy for gain.

Much like Davos, Roland, too, can feel Lord Walgrave's dislike of him, though hardly as intense or as far reaching. Perhaps it would be more pronounced without other targets he dislikes much, much more. Roland stuck to decorum, offering no insult to Lord Oakheart's party unless any was offered, in which case the prickly knight was likely to respond with a challenge. He respected the man as a commander, even if they took different views on knightly oaths and made sure his fellow guests knew as much. Walgrave had seen him safely through a hellish campaign in the Marches, as bitterly as matters had ended between them. Unless gauntlets were thrown, Roland instead offered a toast to Fireball, sincerely praising the man's devotion to the throne and willingness to set family aside in the name of duty. Seven blast the Realm's politics, as far as he'd heard the tale the man had taken every step towards a place on the Kingsguard and had been rebuffed. As ever, he hoped his betrothed to be was present - he had heard tell she would be present but given his sister by marriage's subterfuge he had bitter experience of how unreliable ravens, letters and messengers could be. Particularly in these troubled times. For now as least, he was able to enjoy the mummer's show and the relative novelty of an open air feast. [OOC: if Alicent is present Roland will naturally speak to her ahead of their marriage.]

What had started a splendid tourney had soon turned into a dreary feast. Addam had enjoyed his time spotlight, but it seemed as through he had fallen from grace. When all his friends went off to war, he had stood tall amongst those who had stayed. But now that they had returned, with stories of hard fought battles and glories won, and there Addam stood, a boy without a story to tell.

Robyn cannot even tell if Wenda is listening, as if her confession drained her of the last of her strength. There is no way to tell how she would react if he tries to pick her up. If he does not, she seems unlikely to move an inch, if she makes no sound, it is possible that nobody will notice her, but sooner or later someone will come looking for her, or a killer.
Pride may kick in for Robyn about bringing in help, technically does not apply. If getting help, a Footly might seem a more logical choice than Redtusk, he's not particularly known for subtlety or problem-solving, good for trial by combat if it comes for that, but Robyn's drawbacks probably will want to make him stand. for her, he unhorsed Leo, captured Warrior's Seat and fought off Otho Bracken...so the sevem will favor him for sure.....or so says the little horned fellow on his shoulder. Could look at which ladies might accompany the knights listed, Lord Footly is present, but not deemed to have a chance at getting through the lists.
Act 3 will commence after his next decision on what to do.
