Robyn did go to Lord Footly, I believe they followed behind?

I believe Robyn & Mikel were heading to find Footly, ran into Roland on the way. Meanwhile, Davos went to poke an angry bear.

Daeron was going to (attempt) to defuse the situation, but as a player I think I’d rather sit back, get out of the way, and watch it all burn.

I think it is perhaps rather ... telling that, no matter her *intentions* in her actions, Laena will, fairly reliably, fuck up other people's plans and cause death and destruction around her.
Even when she's not trying to be The Joker, she is.

The whole scene just did take on a life of it's own.
I'll be out of town for a few days, so to be continued....

More likely trial by single combat, but that's Act V at the earliest, Act III is about resolving if Wenda ends up on trial in the first place. Trial of Seven. The Murderer's Defenders: Robyn Starkwood Symon Starkwood Mikel of Harroway Aerion Flowers Davos Dayne Selmond Footly Roland the Lesser The Justice Seekers: Walgrave Oakheart (Nemesis) Preston Oakheart Otho Bracken (Nemesis) Titus Blackbriar Balon Blackbriar Marq Warren Normyn Flowers I think a trial of Seven would be cool but super high stakes for all involved. I doubt Wenda goes to trial but enjoyed thinking of potential knight matchups. There are always other ways to find "justice".

Dormant tradition that may in the future be invoked by an asshole prince that figured that a mere hedge knight wouldn't manage to find 6 others to stand with him.
It seems unlikely that either side will be thinking that thought. Eldon got sufficiently worried when people started talking about that thing to import combat monsters from Essos.....

So: -Balon went to tell Walgrave about Wenda (after being told by Laena). -Robyn went to the Footly's (after chatting with Mikel, Davos and then Roland). -Davos went to "distract" Walgrave (after chatting with Robyn and Mikel). -Mikel and Roland is about to do something?
That should cover all the things needing to be knitted together into what comes next?

Looks correct, though I believe Mikel and Roland followed Robyn to help escort the Footlys to safety? I could be wrong but I think that is the plan

I was operating under the assumption that my distraction would have happened prior to Balon telling Walgrave, which tbh I didn't think had happened yet in the thread, but may be misremembering.
Edit: upon review I found it. Well, that may complicate things.

In my head, Robyn would find Davos&co at about the same time Laena informs Balon, so not going to be much time between either event, I think.

In my head Balon was approaching when Davos made eye contact, but of course, what is in my head is not necessarily game-canon.
I guess the questions are this: 1) Would it have changed what Davos said if he had heard what Balon had said to Walgrave? 2) Would it have changed what Balon said if he had heard what Davos said to Walgrave (and the entire room)? 3) Which ordering makes the most sense and/or the most interesting scene?
I can answer the first: Yes. As written, in the context of Balon's statement it comes across (to me at least) as an indirect disputing of it, which was not intended. If Balon was being quiet about it, maybe Davos just didn't hear - but Balon is not particuarly known for being soft spoken.
The second and third are up to Balon and you respectively.

While I can't tell you what the official order of events would be I can answer 2 & 3.
2) No. Balon would say the same thing regardless of Davos. Balon failed his prejudice roll and smells blood in the water though he'll ultimately defer to Walgrave's orders. 3) I envisioned it as Laena/Balon talk as the Starkwoods/Roland talk. Balon makes his way to Walgrave while the other group breaks the huddle. Balon was forceful to be heard by Walgrave but not super loud about it. He wants to maintain the element of surprise in case Walgrave calls them to action. He'd be by Walgrave while Davos made his speech but wouldn't give it much thought. From there I guess it's up to a PC Nemesis that happens to be prejudiced against the skin color of the "murderer".
With something like this I don't know how much the order matters so much as we get our IC responses in and aren't planning a major distraction. Davos may be true in his feelings and speech but if he'd sucker punched an Oakheart knight (not that I think that's in his character) the ensuing brawl would've been a better avenue for the Footlys to escape?
