Ellyn, of course, is not at all enthusiastic about this whole affair, dutiful, yes. Have any sort of desire? No. She tries to dissuade him, at least they ought to see if some other candidate might be possible, anyone really, Ser Abelar Hightower or Ser Olyvar Crane, second sons, but one being the death of one little nephew away from lordship? And like as not might be named regent for the little nephew for years upon years. And surely there must be others as fortuitous and less repulsive? Could they not exhaust such possibilities before taking steps that might take them too far down the path towards Longtable to consider another?
Objective: At the very least they should *try* some other lords before making any further overtures against Eldon. Intrigue Iniative: 4d6 9Free Action Breeding: 6d6k4 14 +1b to be used ID: 14 (she gets a boost because she really, really wants to avoid becoming the lady of that abomination) DR: 2 Composure: 12

Ellyn dryly remarks that she is highly unlikely to not have to please Lord Abominable Husband in every intimate way imaginable, every day. Did Alliser not seek to shake himself lose of the vivid image being painted of him holding the sponge? Why else, the realm will think, would he stoop so low as to offer up his own flesh and blood to the pig's appetites if holding the sponge is the man he truly is?
Objective: At the very least they should *try* some other lords before making any further overtures against Eldon. ID: 14 (she gets a boost because she really, really wants to avoid becoming the lady of that abomination) DR: 2 Composure: 8/12 Convince: 6d6k4+3 20 1*4-2=2 composure. You're cheating yourself of Chivalry bonus on ID and composure. Yield Suggestion: Alliser will make serious attempts to find her a husband of an equally prestigious house that she wouldn't be tempted to poison his wine.

[/b] Alliser looks at his daughter, then looks back towards the wealth and power that Lord Eldon offers, and huffing a longing sigh he relented, almost. "Ellyn, you are a wonderful women, any Lord would be lucky to have you. But war is on the horizon and thus far the Merryweather's are undeclared, and we are sorely short on allies. If I promise to search out others to marry if similar station to Lord Eldon, but they reject us, then I want you to hold your nose and do this for our family."

If he makes serious attempts, not some half-baked efforts that only serves to let him claim that he tried, then fine.
