Lord Durwell, life of the party, the most perfect well behaved guest who somehow finds the time to greet just about every lord and lady in the hall, exchange pleasantries, gossips, and news and then make his departure from each group as casually easy as how naturally he glides into the next. Making half the hall jealous of Lady Janna for the attentions she receives from him, some cynically trying to justify it by her simply being the best marriage prospect in the hall. And of course, he happens to have the most exquisite attire. But for those who watch the man for any signs to commit to one cause or another, he offers nothing but more suspense.

Lady Alicent Yronwood, elegant and graceful, does not so much command attention as simply effortlessly attracting it, this eve anyway, she certainly could make more of her gifts and talents at such a gathering than she is, but all smiles and charms makes some people wonder if there is something they are missing, everything is taken to have a meaning in the great game, at least when one has something to play for.

Lord Peake strides into the hall as if he owns it, nothing new there, though a peculiar detail he does not fail to draw attention to is how he has wrapped his swordhilt in black silk fastened with crimson string, a flight of fanciful fashion shared by most of his entourage and a few allied peers, enough to make a show of force in stating allegiance, but not so many as to betray his plans of this act. Moving about and chatting, he strides throughout the halls, columns and gardens of The Arbor as if he owns them, earning himself disdainful frowns for being a not quite as polite guest as is proper, making no secret of his agenda to let everyone in The Reach know that the friends of the true dragon are in overwhelming majority.
Partial re-use of earlier post because narrator is lazy. Last NPC to be featured unless a really good idea comes along. Approval.

Laena has a feeling that "Ser Portrait" is a rather too accurate a description of Lord Quentin Cordwayner, near incapable of independent thought, whether groomed intentionally to be so under a domineering mother or, more likely, simply turned out that way on poor upbringing given how his sister does not seem to be near as capable as their parents either. By personality, they both seem closer to Lord Ilyn than either Normyn or Maegelle.
Perhaps the right sort of wife might use such doubts to take Maegelle's place as the power behind the Cordwayner seat.

Tentative summary:
Narrator note: Doing a big renovation project with rumors (mostly how they're tracked, which means a bit of a clean slate), so secret points may be more significant for getting a leg up there. May make rumors easier to get via secrets because of change, will review.
Addam 9 support, 9 secrets, 35 approval, Fashionably late 22
Laena 8 Support, 8 secrets, 48 approval, Fashionably late 34 Trend-setting (Red dress that clashes horribly with Maegelle's complexion) 31.5 DoS towards Lothor-regency Disposition: -1 from Redwyne, 2 randoms need rolling for +1
Davos 3 support, 7 secrets, 18 approval, +1 disposition towards you from Redtusk, Janna Hightower, Victaria Rhysling

Victaria Rhysling 8 support, 8 secrets, 16 approval. -1 disposition from Redwynes, 4 rumor DoS towards blood
Robyn 6 support, 12 secrets, 35 approval 24 status worth of NPC: -1 disposition vs Walgrave. -3 disposition towards you from Walgrave

Support: Thaddeus 14 Marq, Daeron, Rhonda 11
Approval: Marq 49 Laena 48 Daeron 43
(Note: Only picked up Balon doing rumor with gossip, which may open for others adding some "flavor-rumors") (No dispositions updated yet, note to self). (Fire/Blood DoS not recorded unless otherwise noted)

Actual summary: Addam 9 secrets Laena 8 secrets 31.5 DoS towards Lothor-regency, treated same as resolving support, meaning Lothor starts with 7 votes in chronicle 2. Disposition: -1 from Redwyne, +1 towards: Alicent Yronwood, Farman Flowers Ignore last two unless needed for some reason: 4#1d35 2 16 32 261 minor favor owed from Redwynes Davos 7 secrets, +1 disposition towards you from Redtusk, Janna Hightower, Victaria Rhysling Thaddeus 20 secrets 90 status worth of +1 dispositions, need to draw up new list. 1 Major Favor owed from Redwynes. Daeron 11 Secrets +1 Disposition from Mariya Mullendore, -3 Disposition from Lord Eldon 80 status worth of NPC diposition -1 vs Eldon: Lady Kyra Orme (4), Lord Gormon Peake (6), Lady Rhonda Tyrell (5), Lord Protector Farman Flowers (5), Lord Marq Durwell (5), Lady Daena Flowers (5), Lord Reynald Florent (5), Ser Eustace Daverhyl (4), Lord Lothor Mullendore (5), Lady Falyse Blackbar (5), Lady Maegelle Cordwayner (4), Ser Normyn Flowers (5), Lady Alicent Yronwood (4), Ser Roland Redwyne (4), Ser Guyard Blackbar (4), Ser Aemon Flowers (5), Lady Mariya Mullendore (4) --That would be 77, so could squeeze in a status 3, so lazy me go with Pia Redwyne (12 year olds doesn't have as great stats as adults yet). 2 Minor Favors owed from Redwynes. Victaria Rhysling 8 secrets -1 disposition from Redwynes, 4 rumor DoS towards blood Robyn 12 secrets 24 status worth of NPC: -1 disposition vs Walgrave. -3 disposition towards you from Walgrave Rhonda Hightower 7 secret Alena Flowers 6 secrets, +1 disposition with Lord Appleton Falyse 6 secrets Peake 10 secrets +2 Rumor DoS towards Black, -1 Redwyne disposition Roland 8 secrets Balon 2 secrets, 1 DoS anti-Daverhyl random rumor, details needed, though as of yet non-public. 8 Status Ranks for +1 Disposition Lord Owen Roxton (Status 5), +1 Disposition Status 3 Hightower affiliate (Ser Guyard Blackbriar's eldest son perhaps?) -Guyard's sons are both status 4, surely would be some household knight or lady in waiting serving the Hightowers at status 3 that as of yet has been deemed too insignificant to be listed. Marq Durwell 31 secrets, +1 disposition with 96 status worth of NPC's, 1 Major and 1 Minor favored owed from Redwynes. Rhonda Tyrell 5, Reynald 6, Melara Hightower, Rhonda Hightower, Abelar Hightower, Raymun Hightower, Gormon 6, Thaddeus Hightower 6, Farman, Jeyne Cuy, Kyra Orme, Owen Roxton, Victaria Rhysling, Aemon Flowers 5, Redtusk, Fireball, Falyse, Guyard, Maegelle, Normyn, Eustace. Still 8 left, but already basically everyone. Alicent 13 secrets, +1 disposition with 45 status worth of NPC's Support: Some spreadsheet fu gives Rhonda 19 starting votes. (Recordkeeping: -Balon's rumor needs more details -Not updated for dispositions of NPC's not specifically named in this post). Secrets:Each DoS on the tests done gives knowledge of one of the non-public random rumors from the new and improved list, each of these will also come with a potential favor with whichever NPC seems to fit (although it may come in the form of them acting on information if shared and things like that), if no prominent NPC fits to the rumor, one of the "blank-ish canvases" can be used. There will also be a possibility to trade these things for boons from Butterbumps at the start of chronicle 2.

So since the calculations behind NPC choices may be interesting to PC's also, I'll just leave it here: For TN 9, the expected DoS per die committed: 2: .14, 3: 0.3, 4: 0.4, 5: 0.46, 6: 0.45, 7: 0.49, 8: 0.47, 9: 0.43, 10: .39 Victaria secrets: 8d6 39 4 Rhonda Secrets: 7d6 34 4 Alena secrets: 6d6 23 3 Falyse secrets: 6d6 21 3 Gormon Secrets: 2#5d6 17 16 4 Marq Secrets: 3#7d6 21 30 26 2#5d6 14 23 16 Alicent Secrets: 6d6 21 7d6 29 7 Step 2: Currently 57 rumors that are not going to be public at day 0 of Oldtown chronicle (you can start having fun with them at time), so roll Xd57 (re-roll duplicates). Victaria 4+Duplicate tests: 4#1d57 7 52 2 6 2, 6, 7, 52 Rhonda 4+Dup: 4#1d57 51 9 52 279-27-51-52 Alena 3+D: 3#1d57 49 5 16 5-16-49 Falyse 3+D: 3#1d57 23 3 11 3-11-23 Gormon 4+D: 4#1d57 8 26 14 33-8-14-26 Marq 16+D: 16#1d57 18 39 3 43 45 14 41 25 1 41 38...1-3-7-14-18-21-25-34-38-39-41-43-45-46-52-53 First time duplicates actually are neede (didn't copypaste second set of rolls for other ones). Alicent 7+D: 7#1d57 10 40 29 32 56 17 4310-17-29-32-40-43-56 Will update column in spreadhseet tracker with who knows what later. -Updated-

Flirtation addendum: Thaddeus +1 Diposition with Falyse Robyn: +1 Disposition with Ysilla Marq: +1 Disposition with Janna Alicent: +1 Disposition with Gwayne Oakheart.
Dispositions now recorded.
Not doublechecking secrets/approval, will have another look if player thinks they should have more than credited.
