Entry tags:
Since you folks know the ropes, in the interest of keeping things expedient, please only ask questions about events/outcomes you're definitely pursuing in logs/tags!
This will be an IC vote, but probably good to bear in mind your own OOC availability to carry out some of these outcomes.
The vote will stay open for a week, closing on 24 September. Alas, only characters in the game until the vote closes get a say.
Please vote just by doing +1 to one of the options below...
Look it in the eye when you do this, hooligans.
Beware consequences.

You'll have to break a bridge, but doable (details to be provided if this is the successful outcome.)
(Still) beware consequences.
This will need you to capture the dragon, furtively smuggle it out in a very efficient manner, at a time when everyone is looking for this creature.
Have we mentioned, beware consequences?
...sounds potent. Let's do this. Don't kill all of them in one go, though, we might need one-two for later plotting. Maybe make it so you need a decent amount of blood to kill one? But sure.
hello! can you clarify what kind of tools newcomers arrive with in their pockets? for example, for people who cast magic in their canons using specific tools like for example a wand, would they keep said wands (hermione would never be anywhere without hers as a habit at this point) or would they be brought into Taravast without them and have to rely of procuring some somehow (i.e. steal, murder, i mean negotiations, or take it from an undead witch)?
tl;dr - i want to play a character that uses a stick to cast magic, do they keep the stick (thus making their escape relatively easy) or do they have to find a different stick?

So, I can give you two options, and it's all down to what you prefer to keep Hermione's struggle more realistic and how much you want her to struggle, to start with:
a. The magic stick stays with her, but she is warded within the cage room, so the magic stick is useless there.
b. The magic stick is not with her, but with some scrap effects in the cage room, tossed about because the guards truly do believe. It is. In fact. A stick.
Option c. no stick, buy one from Taravast later. Live that peasant life.
Up to you. I'm happy with any of them.

That's absolutely fine! And the option remains, if you app Hermione in and choose to have her investigation her magical opportunities, for her to also buy a second wand from Taravast as well. There will be some calls on her coin, but.
So, I got the idea of, once the down below team makes it to the banquet with the undead, Lily offering to switch outfits with Vannozza via transfiguration and act as a decoy to draw fire and keep her ladyship a little safer (she knows she needs to score some points). Would that be something her ladyship is receptive to? and if so how much/what sort of danger (if anything beyond the already listed) would Lily be putting herself into?
So, Vannozza would agree to it just in case Macaluso gets any ideas, but in reality she wouldn't be exposed to much more danger than anyone else. The threat to her — the danger, generally — remains considerable: the dead, the dragon, and the panic-struck masses, confined in a small space, with the Bessis spewing fire everywhere.
That said, keeping Vannozza well and away from the trampling hordes, the flames and the dead would still win Lily considerable favour. She will find Vannozza slightly more agitated than usual, but still reliably collected — at least, enough to take decent direction.
Feel free to NPC her following around in some of your threads, if you'd like, or drop me a line if you need her to input.
