First lesson: stick them with the pointy end.

Hi everyone!

My name is Elizabeth, and I’m bringing in Jon Snow from Game of Thrones… specifically, from between 7x02 and 7x03. Jon is 24, has been King in the North for a few months, is preparing to fight an army of undead, and has been pulled from somewhere on his journey between Winterfell and Dragonstone. He is slightly undead himself, whoops, so that’s going to be fun. (And for those who are canon-blind, think "genuinely good medieval hero type, but with more psychology.")

Jon is coming into Taravast as an envoy of the Merchant, after a difficult journey of almost two weeks — a frantic ride during which he also had to be careful to avoid the retreating forces of the Huntress and the Beastmaster. You can read about that here. He will be staying in don Bonaccorso's wing of the Palace.

What does this mean to you? Well, first of all, something nasty has caught up with him outside the city during the last leg of his journey, along with a few of its friends. If 2-3 characters want to join him in fighting it, we can handwave that, but let’s talk about it here! If the large creature spills a character’s blood, they’re marked as quarry of the hunt, which will have future repercussions (you will need to notify the mod account). Either way, it’s a chance for a few of our characters to have seen each other fight, and we can do some “meet after the fact” threading.

Second, he has a key and a message for Wrath and Wen Qing, and will need to meet with them. This can also be handwaved if the players need it, but I've put it in his network post.

I needed to think about how to approach all this, but I’ve decided to go for a network post that can slip into action components. It is possible that I'll also throw up a log if we need one.

You can find me via PM to this account, at detectivefiction , and on the game Discord. Feel free to friend on Plurk. I’m excited to get started!
