The grand hall is turned into Lady Rhonda Tyrell's domain, inviting the virtuous ladies of the Reach along with esteemed visitors from further away to attend her for an evening of pleasant music and the savoring of fine and elegant arts.
Participation may be of many forms, a lady might bring a gifted artist, poet, singer or musician from her household to present their work or to perform, she may perform or present such work herself, or she may simply choose to partake in pleasant conversation and bring joy to the evening.
In order to solicit an invitation, a lady must succeed on status (reputation)+virtue TN 12, she may bring as many talented individuals to present their work as she pleases.
At narrator discretion you may also use either cunning or language with a relevant specialty at TN 12 to present your work or performance, each DoS grants +1 disposition from Lady Tyrell and +1 to any further tests in this event if applicable. Generally available if character backstory mentions some sort of talent.
An invited lady may attempt the following tests: Awareness (Empathy) TN 12 Persuasion (Charm)+Virtue TN 12 Status (Breeding)+Virtue TN 12
Note that relevant benefits certainly can come into play, feel free to inquire about the possibility.
Succeed on all three tests: +1 influence, and the disposition of Lady Tyrell towards you improves by one step. Six DoS total (and succeed on all three): +1 virtue Nine DoS total: +1 influence and be invited to a private dinner with Lady Tyrell.

It's not that Ashara didn't like the so-called 'fine arts', she just preferred something a bit more... active. That the artistry of dancing was not recognized here bothered her, but she wasn't about to make a stink about it - this was one of those many times when decorum required that one set aside one's own preferences and make the best of it. Besides, one of these ladies might end up being a good match for Symon, so it was in her interest to pay attention, be engaged, and make a good impression while also paying attention to the nuances and subtleties of the quiet battlefield of noble women. PotA Invitation Status(Rep)+Virtue: 4d6+5 21 vs TN 12, success PotA Awareness(Empathy): 6d6k4+3 21 vs TN 12, 2 DoS (so close) PotA Persuasion(charm) +virtue: 5d6k4+2+5 22 vs TN 12, 3 DoS PotA Status (Breeding)+Virtue: 6d6k4+5 26 vs TN 12, 3 DoS (curses, foiled again!) Total: 8 DoS. Highly reminiscent of the Remembrance thread in missing the top reward by 1 point on either of two rolls. Well, it could be a lot worse. Reward: +1 influence disposition of Lady Tyrell towards Ashara improves by one step +1 Virtue (not counting)

PotA - Status (Rep) + Virtue - TN12: 6d6k5+5 24 3 DoS PotA - Awareness (Empathy) - TN12: 5d6k4 7 Wow. Just...wow. [No point in rolling for the others.] Laena had been looking forward to this evening for a while, seeing it as a great opportunity to network with other ladies of import. In all her anticipation, however, one thing she had failed to properly account for was just how *boring* she found most art. She'd tried her hand at painting, herself, multiple times, and each time she'd lasted less and less time before giving up through sheer tedium. The soporific music, combined with the endless droning first sapped her of her interest, then her will to live, followed by her eyes glazing over. She awoke with a start from a discreet elbow from Ashara, hoping she'd neither snored nor drooled before her cousin rescued her. Still, she felt it best not to contribute more than her presence, just in case that weren't the case, in hopes she could escape without embarrassment.
While her interest never increased, she was at least able to avoid falling asleep again.

(hm, towards Ashara? It's also been pointed out to me that I have been mis-calculating my Virtue...I was still using +4, but it seems I have +6...which means the total bonus to that roll should have been +7 including Talented. And also I can do a reroll of that Persuasion check with Attractive if I wish, which could push the results up? Is that still an option? All of this together would actually push the DoS over the finish like to 9 I think)

If your virtue bonus should be +6, you should adjust, yes, which means you wouldn't need that reroll anyway.

Since it's become something I actually have interest in pursuing, lets make sure:
+1 from Bread and Salt +1 from Remembrance +4 from Steel and Ribbons
= 6 temporary, 1st, 3rd, and 6th counting for +3 from temporary, +2 Base, is +5, +1 for Dutiful...+6 total, yes?

(In that case I think that pushes Lysette to 4 DoS, and that brings her to 9 total; sufficient to win the audience?)
