Fancy pants Roland vs Lord Marq....
Who does Balon want to lose more? OOC I want Roland to win but IC I can't even.

Lord Marq went with Daemon Blackfyre in the melee.
Roland declared himself in favor of King Daeron when recruiting.
Should be an easy choice.

Much sadness at the dream PC v PC final not quite happening despite Donnel's awesome efforts. Need to decide whether to spend my last destiny point on the joust final or duel with Ser Rennifer. Tempted to risk death by using the DP on the final, not so much "Death or Glory" as "Glory and Death"! Not sure what order the final and duel take place in chronologically, so I'll have to sort that kind of thing out. Might be I don't live to see the final! Lots of nice tangled scheming going on with the inscrutable Lord Durwell central - he cheated against Daemon and didn't against Blood supporting Donnel, but is in Daemon's melee team. Playing both sides perfectly! He was even involved in Alicent Yronwood's provocation of Lord Merryweather. Awesome performance by Ser Donnel, a run worthy of song. Plus House Blackbriar is 4 wealth better off thanks to Donnel and Titus, plus further enriched by Balon's reward from Ser Aladore's rescue.

I'm really curious what Lord Marq's plans are for the Queen of Love and Beauty. He wears Tanda Peake's favor, but has been riling up Amerei Tyrell fiercely. If he were to switch and name Amerei QoLaB, she might demand her father let her marry him right then and there. It is better to be the sought than the seeker, as then you have the leverage. Or he gives it to someone completely different but hard to object to - Lady Margaery, perhaps - to indicate that he still has no intention to marry - and not at all defusing the tension he has built. Or worse, he gives it to someone to weaponize Tanda and Amerei against that person, to sow more strife. Mya Rivers or Janna Hightower perhaps.

Wouldn't it be smarter to name Alerie Hightower over Janna since Alerie is the only daughter of Lord Jon?

Yeah, I just forgot she existed. On the other hand, he could give it to Janna 'as an apology for defeating her champion', giving him some cover.

Risk death for glory! @roland
I mean, if you lose I do make more money, but I'm all about that PC action...
Especially watching him have to decide to give it to Alicient, enraging the Hightowers, or to the lady your riding with the favor of.

Push the Hightowers further into Fire.

The rumors are going to be rich about me though.
How did I know to bet on the two that would make it to the final, unless I had prior knowledge of some shenanigans about to occur.

We really have no reason to believe that Marq was the one cheating. Someone could have done it on his behalf.

People will naturally assume it about Lord Levalle, that's pretty cool. I just write some of the rumours, I don't pick what goes in them but looking forward to writing up that kind of rumour about Lord Levalle if Father includes it on my list. Lots of good stuff on D10, will be interesting to see what makes the cut.

I'm hoping he wants to maintain his penchant for playing a little on each side and isn't committed to investing destiny in the final, rather than having to make a political statement by choosing a Queen of Love and Beauty. Wonder what his angle on helping Alicent provoke Lord Merryweather is too. Lots of good schemes by PCs and NPCs. Leaving the runway clear for Roland to ruin his own life! Also, looking forward to seeing various NPC challenges in the "Foul Mood" event being answered, several as yet unmet. It was tough for Roland to have to pass up the Lady Cordwayner/Normyn Flowers challenge, but Alicent had to be his priority given previous scenes. Interested to see if anyone is bold enough to face Roland's power-house half brother.

Who gets priority in answering Middlebury/Scorpionbane? Jasper Flowers or Donnel Blackbriar? Shiera manipulated Jasper into challenging Scorpionbane then her idiot husband also challenged Gareth's champion.
