just like we mentioned in the plot drop, here is the accompanying optional task ! please note that you do not have to participate in this task to throw your characters in the ring for further drama, but it does make it more fun !

did you leave the festivities at any point during the ceremony or reception ? where did you go ? did you return ?
did you see anyone leave ?
what were you doing when the fire began ? what did you do in response ?
where do you think the fire started ? do you have any ideas on who might have started it or how they might have gotten in ?
do you know any of the victims of the fire personally ? do you suspect any foul play ? would anyone wish to see them harmed ?
who do you think the targets of the attacks and fire were ? do you think some were used as a smoke screen ?
what were you doing yesterday morning ? ( the day of the murder ) did you see or hear anything unusual throughout the day ?
what do you know about the recent murder ? are you aware of the victim or who might have desired them dead ? do you think the victim is tied to anyone in sunspear ?

remember this is not mandatory as we will never do that, but it is in good fun, and delicious chaos. this line of questioning will involve plot drops eight + nine
if you wish to have your characters face repercussions for their answers, dm the main. please note that we are big on realism, if you don’t want them in the dungeons don’t have them answering rudely or being total asses.
answer in order, and in character.
the follow up to this will be around april 17th, but more updates will be given closer to as we want people to have the time they need to complete this and not slight anyone who may want to participate !
please tag this with rfms.task02
if you have ANY questions please do not hesitate to ask !!
tensions have been running high since the night of the ball, anxious nobles trying to escape and being thwarted by overworked guards. it seems no answers are in sight, no truths to be found at just who started that disaster of a fire.
demands to be freed increase, the ruling princess becoming more reclusive in effort to focus on the real root of their problems rather than whiny nobles with no cares other than themselves. trust the martells see all, they’ve taken names of who has stood by them and who has sought to only serve themselves.
the morning begins like any other thus far since their incarceration, quiet, somber. it seems many are near their breaking point, over a week with no answers driving even the calmest of nobles to fret. and yet it seems the treat they are in is not one any would like, for the dead body found on the floor of the sunspear throne room as the ruling princess entered was the last thing any wished to find.
sunspear turns into a frenzy once more, nobles asked to stay in their rooms until given further instructions. as you can imagine, this order is not taken well by any of the ‘ guests ’ of sunspear, many who are completely unaware there has even been another death or who it was.
so imagine how they feel come the next morning when the edict is given. every soul in sunspear is to be questioned before the ruling princess, her council, and members of house martell. none are spared from the inquisition that’s to come, none are prepared for the aftermath of such questioning.
tl:dr; someone dead again, nobody is told who but there are rumors flying that it was lady deena manwoody, body found in the sunspear throne room. the ruling princess has now ordered all people in sunspear to be questioned.
there will be a follow up including the information for our second TASK, which will be the line of questions given to every character. even if you choose not to write their responses, know that they still were questioned.
further chaos afoot, as per usual ! please involve this plot drop + the questioning into all future threads as you are able !
