Lady Ellyn faces stiff competition for Marq's favor, he acknowledges her presence with a smile and a bow, knowing how to make a girl feel like the only one in the world that matters, but he is about to offer a well practiced retreat to approach the Seastar when Lady Tanda Peake practically lays claim to his entire field of vision and all his attention, to Lady Ellyn, the arrogance presumptuousness is sickening and most unbecoming of a lady, blatantly bringing up the crown that he owes her from Highgarden. In the end, all three ladies are surpassed by a clever young maid who had bided her time to be fashionably late to this rivalry, approaching at just the right moment at just the right corner of his eye to impress one who had been an expert at this game before she had learned to walk and talk. Lady Ellyn would later speak of Lady Janna's entrance with high admiration, Lady Tanda of course, quickly formed a theory about Janna having offered up her maidenhead for the honor, for how else could the cousin of a boy lord possibly outmatch the daughter of Lord Gormon Peake? One with the Blood of the Dragon clearly flowing through her veins?
Rivalry time, first off: Ellyn Levalle vs Janna Hightower vs Tanda Peake vs Shiera Seastar over Marq's favor. Marq: ID 16 DR: 4 vs Tanda, 3 vs the others Composure: 14 Persuasion Modifiers (from disposition): Janna: +3 Tanda: +3 Shiera Seastar: +1 Ellyn: +1 Iniatives: Ellyn: 4d6+4 21Seastar: 8d6k5 16Janna: 4d6 15Tanda: 4d6 11Ellyn 5xcharm: 5#6d6r1k4+6 17 25 23 24 2613-8-3-Succeeds on round 4 (forgot assists, but didn't matter). Seastar 4x charm: 4#8d6r1k5+4 28 16 26 305-4-Succeeds on round 3. Janna 2x charm: 2#6d6r1k4+5 28 245-Succeeds on round 2. Tanda can't do 14 influence in one go. Ellyn has her woo left, Tanda and Seastar prime candidates for rivalries, Janna might attract a challenger for Marq. Tanda Peake now is at -5 Disposition vs Janna.

Lady Delia is not the only one with designs upon Ser Preston, Lord Walgrave had broached the subject of marriage between him and Lady Denyse Cordwayner, and much like Delia, Denyse would very much like to become Lady Oakheart, neither girl having particularly strong feelings for the man himself. Lady Denyse may be closer in birth to the lord of her house than Delia, but someone of finer pedigree had come between Lady Delia of Houses Blackbriar and Peake, particularly Peake, and her prize. She was now confined to a motherhouse until such a time as her lost honor. Her youthful and innocent demeanor, the very image of a pure maid on the cusp of womanhood, helps her edge out a slim victory over that arrogant bitch that nobody liked, a bastard too, the way Delia hers it. But that only matters if someone influential cares to make it matter and cousin Gormy wouldn't be very thrilled about the prospects of replacing that mannequin that Lady Maegelle played dress-up games with for Ser Roland. Nevertheless, Lady Denyse, though beaten now, remains a competitor in this dance that must needs make a misstep.

Ser Titus makes for Lady Alysanne, though as determined as he might be in picking a new lady whose favor to wear, the eyes of Lady Daena Flowers seeks to capture his and divert whatever thoughts he may have of such a thing than to try again to deliver her the crown which she once so teasingly charged him with. More blatant are the gaze of Lady Alena Flowers, hinting at more delightful bliss being on offer if he were only to do this one thing for her. Lady Laena is not the only one with eyes upon one of the favorites, the granddaughter of the host would indeed seem interested in this honor, and so does Lady Alysanne, The Great Bastard of Sunhouse, one cannot go anywhere without finding rival sisters it would seem. Lady Lynesse finds that Ser Roland Redwyne is also a popular choice with her peers, Lady Daena Roxton being perhaps the most formidable, the heiress to the Ringfort has a highly enviable dowry. Although never underestimate a Great Bastard, but one should think that no proper knight would care much for the foul-mouthed Lady Mya Rivers, ever interested in spreading chaos and insult wherever she goes, delighting in making others incensed at her antics. And yet, too many men are drawn to her, probably for all the wrong reasons.
Titus may open himself for rivalry challenges from Daena and Alena, though how a PC's affections are won is up to the PC. Laena gets to square off against 2xAlysanne: Alysanne Flowers initiative: 5d6 13Alysanne Butterwell iniative: 4d6 8Robb Reyne: ID: 13 DR: 4 (3 vs Alysanne Flowers) Composure: 11 Lynesse is up against Mya and Daena Mya Iniative: 9d6k6+1 23Daena Iniative: 7d6k5 20Redtusk: ID: 13 DR: 3 Composure: 14

Her other rivals cannot hold a candle to Laena as Ser Robb asks for her favor to wear. Other knights appears interested in carrying it also, but not enough to face one of the favorites.
Alysanne Butterwell can't one-shot. Alysanne Flowers: 7d6r1k5 21 nope. Nobody feels like challenging Robb Reyne for Laena's favor.

Addam might have made Lady Delia his target, but it would appear that Lyanna Florent is attempting to draw the attention of her cousin's rescuer, a greater hero than Balon and prettier too makes for a better champion? Perhaps she would rather have a champion that her uncle considers suitable to actually marry? Or maybe she just fancies two knights of their caliber to face off against one another? Who can ever tell the inner working's of the cunning mind of a fox? Lady Perianne Middlebury have not given up hope either, her father had indicated that he liked Addam, and she likes him too, her father spoke much more warmly of Balon, but towards that idea she is much colder. Ser Addam had taken what by rights should be that of her husband, she may have given freely, but perhaps he would be honorable and ask for her hand regardless?
Like Titus, Addam is free to decide if he's willing to let the ladies fight over him.

Will be needing your ID, composure, respective DR towards them (Lyanna and Perianne have attractive benefit, Delia does not), whether you'll be bothering with frustration or give any of them higher circumstantial ID and such.

Composure: 9 I’ll use frustration if it keeps it competitive Delia: indifferent - ID: 12 Lyanna: amiable - ID:13 Perianne: friendly - ID:14
Edit: I’m on mobile so I don’t the value of their DR, but it corresponds with their respective disposition.

Addam's mind might be set upon seeking the hand and favor of Lady Delia Hewett, but is there truly anything about her besides the future lordship that comes with her hand that he desires? The beauty of Lady Lyanna Florent is certainly having a considerable easier time in making a young man's heart flutter.
So, how it goes: Delia+3 (+1D for initial wooing target): ID 12, DR 4 Lyanna+3: ID 13, DR 3 Perianne+1: ID 14, DR 2 Composure: 11 (+2 from chivalry) Iniatives, Delia, Lyanna, Perianne: 5d6 17 5d6 21 4d6 11Lyanna goes first: 5#7d6r1k5+3 28 26 26 27 262(1 Frustration)->No more frustration Delia goes second: 7d6r1k5+3 253->Doesn't get a second chance. Perianne doesn't have the intrigue chops to compete in this company. As far as the numbers goes, Lyanna wins without breaking a sweat.

Very few knights could hope to match the splendor of Ser Addam Velaryon of Kingsbridge. While most knights gained the affection of ladies for the lands they were to inherit, Addam earned his through deed and skill, not to mention being one of the more handsome knights in the realm as well.
Scores of ladies called the young knight's name as he rode past, hoping to get his attention, but he only had eyes for one. Lady Delia Hewett, and there she was, sitting there look so very... plain. Even with scores of lesser men vying for her favor, she couldn't of looked any less enthused. Here he was, her knight in shinning armor, and it looked as if she could care less. Fear and dread filled Addam. Is this what I have to look forward too? Ser Addam the Audacious and Lady Delia the Dull. And just then he saw them. To Delia's right, Lady Perianne. Gods, it was hard to say no to those eyes and he had enjoyed her company, in both public and private, yet to Delia's left, stood Lyanna Florent. Balon could take her favor far, but she looked to Addam to saw her and win her her crown. Seven be damn! He wasn't go to throw away he last chance at pageantry for Delia the Dull.
"Ser Balon the Humbled," he said , lightly slapping the hindquarters of Balon's horse to give it alittle jolt as he rode up on the two. "A name meant for songs. Not the fun kind sung at joyous occasions. More like the ones sung at funerals and dull affairs. I ask you my lady, which would you rather have, humility or audacity and a crown of roses?"

Catching Lady Daena’s violet eyes he is reminded of what he still owed her - a crown of roses. A debt he in that moment intend to pay, Lady Alyssanne was the host’s daughter and would surely not want of champion, and between the violet eyes of Lady Daena and the dark, sultry eyes of Alena the choice was easy. Or it wasn’t but it should be.
”My Lady, would you entrust me with a second chance to win you that crown?”

Lynesse can outcharm Daena Roxton, but against Lady Mya, she would appear to be outmatched.
Mya 23 Mya charms away: 5#8d6r1k5+2 23 26 26 30 265-4(2f)-out of frustration. Lynesse 22 1-4(4f) Daena 20 Can't keep up with that.

There may have been those who had taken a fancy to Lady Daena's favor, but none appears interested in risking early unhorsing against Ser Titus over it.
Not so with his brother, Addam's jibe is far from something a knight might walk away from with his reputation intact. Honor demands satisfaction by giving Lady Lyanna a duel for her favor.
