Women start visibly showing roughly 3-4 months in. What was the situation 3-4 months before the Appleton feast? Had people left for the Riverlands at that point, or would they still be around?

Each phase is roughly 3 months, so would be cutting it close maybe.

1) Is it possible to coordinate (to add additional helpers) before the action being helped takes place? (i.e. make 'suggestions' on how to best present information) - so you could coordinate in private before the public test takes place, and your help would not be public knowledge?
2) I seem to recall that to spend a DP on a roll, it could be either your roll, *or a roll that somehow involved you*, correct? How... involved do you have to be for that to be an option? If you, say... tried to defend someone in a trial by combat and failed, could you lend a dp to her for an attempt to save her from the consequences of that failure? If you helped plan said attempt, but your involvement in actually enacting said plan is minimal to none, could you lend her a dp? Does that change if you are an NPC (and a PC asks you to 'send her all the supportive energy you can' or whatever)? Asking for a friend complete stranger.
3) Presumably, NPC houses do not have (and cannot spend) Influence on rolls? And a son of the lord of a house defending someone in a trial by combat is not grounds for the accused to be able to have that PC house's Influence spent supporting one of their rolls to avoid the consequences of failure there?
Just want to clarify what my options are, because ID 20 is no joke.

What is Walgrave/Appleton/"Prosecution" allowed to do *if* Wenda claims she is pregnant?
Ask for a maester or septa to do (in essence) a check up on Wenda? Demand Moon Tea is taken? What happens in 4 months when she is not pregnant? Would that damage the Footlys and result in some sort of disposition or issue with thr Appletons?

It's entirely within Lord Appleton's power to commute the sentence from death to taking holy vows, just as a man might take the black. Her claiming to be pregnant would simply offer him more reason to do so. (And hence why I dropped the hint to Laena that the maester "confirming" the pregnancy after "examination" would help a lot).
If it's later discovered that she lied, it might make it more difficult for the next lady in The Reach to escape the axe by making such claims unless it's plain for all to see. And reinforce prejudices about lying Dornish/Footlys of course. (But Ysilla already has thought about that part actually).

Not wanting to bury the post with my questions, but FWIW, if both sets of parties wish to go forward, I intend to IC suggest a 'stress-induced miscarriage' shortly thereafter (just waiting long enough that the death sentence cannot be re-instated).

Just want to clarify what my options are, because ID 20 is no joke. 1. Seems reasonable given the prep-time one might have to put together a show. 2. Probably not, it's similar to the joust where you can be rooting for someone, but only the lady whose favor he carries has enough "investment". 3. Footly influence would have to be spent, realistically NPC houses should have an influence pool, too, but I guess that chiefly plays out by them doing stuff in the background.

Would the two Bracken Ladies technically be half siblings of Bittersteel? Am I reading that correctly?

So is there another Bracken that just isn’t listed that would be their mother/father? They were directly beneath Lady Barba, Lord Jon’s sister, which is what led me to make that assumption. If they are not Barba’s daughters, I just wondered where/who they belonged to

Lord Bracken's brother, who was just given a name (a nobody as far as the story is concerned).

For the Green Hand Ambush: Commmander makes the following tests: -Strategy and Tactics may be done at a distance (i.e. by one not with the troops), with -1b training penalty to Strategy and -1D penalty to tactics. -Assists cannot be done at a distance, NPC's able to assist or test (3D+1B) are available. (Let's ignore coordinate, that'll just make things a little messy) -Warfare (Strategy) TN 12 -Warfare (Tactics) TN 12 -Warfare (Command) TN 12 -Additionally, the force tests Stealth (3D+1B) against TN 12 - assists not possible. 1) Do all tests have to be made by the same character? 2) If the commander is at a distance, what happens with the Command test?

Hmm, no, different characters can make different tests (Though I think it might be prudent to let Mikel do all of them).

I want to make sure I understand the new Cloak and Dagger event mechanics properly.
1) Say I wish to hire an agent through an intermediary to investigate Maegelle Cordwayner (for example), searching for skeletons in her closet.
A) Roll Knowledge (Streetwise) vs TN18 (50% chance of success), or auto-succeed using Connections. Spend 25GD. B) Intermediary rolls their 4D+2b main ability with +1D (so, 5D+2b) vs TN18 (84% success). Spend 25GD. 38% chance of agent getting +1 to all rolls. C) Agent rolls their 4D+2b vs probably TN 16-18 (73%-50% success. Best case 17% chance of 2 DoS.)
Barring an exceptionally lucky roll, I would therefore be spending 50GD for ~50% chance of getting some mildly embarrassing dirt (1 minor favour).
Is that all correct?
2) Can I use the same intermediary to hire multiple agents for different tasks? (Presumably paying their fee for every agent found.)
3) How does taking extra time work with agents? Would me spending 2 actions on hiring an intermediary somehow transfer to giving the agent +1D on their tests? What about assists?
