[Phase 2] All the Fun of the Fair [Event]

While not quite as impressive as what could be found at Gardenton a few moons ago, there is still a great throng of people having arrived to Lordsview, many to watch the joust and melee, but more to sell their goods and produce where there are so many buyers to be found. Hawkers clamor for attention with minstrels and troupes of mummers hoping for donations or patronage.

Restrictions:
One must first declare one's presence here: greatbastards.boards.net/thread/1015/phase-2-whitewalls-tourney-event

NPC Participations
Each player (whether partaking or not) may nominate an NPC they would like to see featured in this event.

Enjoying the Sights

One may certainly find entertainment suitable to one's tastes to have the entire afternoon suddenly have slipped away.

Interact with the commons

You may opt for one of the following:

Moving the Masses:
-Simple Intrigue against a crowd, define crowd size, technique and objective in dice description.
TN 15: Around a dozen
TN 18: Scores
TN 21: Hundreds.
DoS, size of crowd and narrator creativity/energy determines outcomes.

Give out alms to the poor:
-By handing out bread (you get dozens per SS, so negligible costs), you get to feel good (maybe) and look good to your peers.
+1 Disposition with three semi-random NPC's from the Reach.

An Ear to the ground
-You may be one of the few who cares to ask the smallfolk about what's on their minds, although speaking with the travelling mummers and minstrels are likely to give more interesting gossip (mark which option you go for):
Knowledge (Streetwise) TN 9, each DoS typically grants 1 random rumor, with a preference for Riverlands going ons. Asking for specific things is TN 12 (15 if asking the smallfolk).

Extend Patronage:
-You may hire performers to sing your praises (or shame others).
Simple Intrigue (Bargain) TN 9 (or 3*Status of target to be shamed), you can hire them to praise another character, the basic price is your (target's) status in GD, reduced by 1 per additional DoS (minimum 1 GD), on a simple failure they will do the job, but demand double the pay. On a critical Failure (or refusing to pay their price) they find your penny-pinching ways displeasing and makes up a performance shaming you instead: -1 influence.
-Character praised: Likely to receive favorable treatment in the selection of jousting opponents, more likely for rivalry to be triggered for their favor.
-Character shamed: Likely to receive tougher jousting opponents, less likely for rivalry to be triggered for their favor.
The attention offered may have other effects.

Temptations of the Flesh

With a Simple Intrigue (Seduction) TN 9, you may always find someone willing to share your bed for warmth, but if you want something more:

The Rutting Boar offers it's services for the discerning customer with coin to spend:

A Golden Dragon buys you the best night you ever had, only the most vivid of imaginations might conceive of sins not on offer:
-Gain +1b to all tests in a single Whitewalls Event (The first scene in the melee or a single match in the joust, must be the first of that day).
-This involves going into the back rooms.

Carouse with the discerning clientele.
No prudish knight or lady would ever dare to even set foot in this house of ill repute, though the common room is merely a place where they might lounge lazily on cushioned seats while enjoying the best wines of the Riverlands (Arbor Vintage are of course available, but few Reachmen finds that exotic) and all sorts of decadent foods. Of course, the attire of the serving girls would inflict scandal without end upon a lady caught trying one out, and they are ever so eager to hint at such pleasures as might be offered in the back.
-Simple Intrigue (Charm or Seduce) TN 9, gain +1 Disposition with a random NPC guest per DoS scored. Using Seduction is probably ill advised, but likely to be interesting.

-Being seen going into the back rooms of the Rutting Boar (or otherwise give in to temptation) carries a stigma and requires a deception (Disguise) or Stealth (Any) TN 13, on a simple failure, word of your visit will circulate (enters the rumor list), on a critical failure, your activites becomes public knowledge and you suffer -1 Virtue (-1 Chivalry if found to commit sin with a noble lady, only applies if she fails).

Gambling:
The stakes to be played are either 20, 50, 100 or 210SS (1GD), you may win up to 3000SS (total, not net), you can keep loosing until you run out of coin.

You can partake in games of chance, roll 1d6, upon achieving 3-4, you break even, upon 5 or 6 you make a profit equal to your stake, else you loose your bet. Special: Characters with the lucky benefit rolls 2d6k1.

You can also partake in games of skill, making any combination of the following tests (gain +1b on each test for every two that you undertake):
Awareness(Empathy) TN 12
Deception(Bluff) TN 12
Cunning(Logic) TN 12
Persuasion (Seduce) TN 12 - though expect interesting consequences for opting to distract opponents in such fashion.
Take the average DoS across all tests (round down) as your result, mark the dice rolls with how many tests are taken. Your profits are equal to the DoS. A critical failure counts as -2 DoS.

Special: You may also attempt Deception(Cheat) against TN 12, on a success you may instead round your average DoS up, failure makes makes you loose your bet, critical failure gets you caught. This does not count towards gaining bonus dice to the tests.

The Wages of Sin
You may do one of the following:

Stalk the common room of The Rutting Boar
Optional Deception(Disguise) TN 13, success grants anonymity, there isn't too much point if you're carousing here anyway.
Awareness (Notice) TN 12, each DoS grants you a random chance at catching someone in the act of entering the back.

Or

Knowledge (Streetwise) TN 12, each DoS yields up one of the rumors about activity a noble best should avoid.

There will be enough random NPC's doing this that not-so-discrete PC's should be reasonably safe (but rumors about PC's will go into the list of random rumors that anyone might stumble upon)

Special:
Post a notification in your private forum if you gain the bonus to other events from temptation or successfully employ singers to praise/shame you (or another). You should await confirmation before using the bonus in another event. Thus this event needs not be immediately resolved.

Benefits/Drawbacks considerations:
Attractive (female): You may do simple intrigue (Charm) TN 12 to make performers sing to your beauty for free (counts as a praise result).
Decadent: Triggers, on a failure, you feel compelled to pay The Rutting Boar a visit.
Lascivious: If you visit The Rutting Boar, this triggers, on a failure, you feel compelled to enjoy the pleasures of the back rooms.
Prejudiced (Dornish): If you visit The Rutting Boar, it just so happens that one of the girls there have black hair and olive skin to trigger the drawback (failure should be amusing)
Prejudiced (Sinners): If you visit The Rutting Boar, this triggers hard. (failure should be hilarious).
Zealot: Triggers, on a failed test you are compelled to interact with the commons to pursue your goals.
