[Escort] Book 1 - Chapter 1: Festival Preparation

[Throndir]

Thalia Village
Day 2 - Morning

The group heading out to Orario city, which people had been calling the 'vanguard' group had just departed, with the rest of the village waking up soon after.

Someone the night before after the play had suggested a grand festival on the night before Thalia and those going with her, travel to Orario. It would take another few more weeks after that for the final group consisting of most of the other villagers to head to Orario, but mostly everyone wanted to have a send-off party befitting the goddess of comedy and laughter.

However, this would take plenty of planning indeed.

The mayor was already busy gathering the various store owners, and heads of the various groups in the village. The lumberjacks, the fishermen, farmers, the innkeepers, the craftsmen, the brewers, among others. You, too, were invited to listen in, either to take a hand in the proceedings for planning of the festival, or to simply figure out the potential plans that would be laid out in case you were needed.

The goddess, Thalia, was with the group as well, of course, listening quietly, but grinning all the while and smiling at everyone as the rest discussed what to do.

"Does anyone have any other suggestions?"

[spoiler=OODM]Next party split.

However, opening it up to the players to drive your own goals. I'll be more free with excelia and rewards for player-driven initiatives. More so if multiple players latch on to your ideas. To jog some creativity:

• Setting up your own festival stand. Food, festival games, etc.
  
• Putting your own show, or amusement of some sort.
  
• Other ways to help out in the festival.
  

Preparation of this will need to be handled by the players. Eg, if you need food, or stalls, either make them yourself, or convince the woodworkers of the village to help.



Planning Meeting
Discussion of specific plans will take the entire day, 8 hours. If you are having your character offer their input with the other village heads, include an associated Profession check, or a Diplomacy check. Using a Profession skill will grant a +2 bonus to the roll.

If you are listening, or simply leaving early to start doing your own preparations, state so, if needed we'll spawn more threads.

There will be multiple mini adventures that are open at specific days during the festival preparation. Most of them takes an entire day to accomplish. Feel free to figure out what activities you will be doing on what days.

Thalia Village
Evening

"Things have begun quickly..." Rei mumbled to herself as she recalled the events leading up to the sudden change in pace of the small quaint village of Thalia. After their final act in the story play they had performed, Thalia herself had said they were all going to move to Orario. Maybe it was to have a bigger audience to their plays. Or maybe there was another reason. All Rei knew was that there was suddenly a lot of preparations to be had. Not just for the festival to celebrate the exodus, but personal preparations as well. Her parents needed help packing their belongings, as they were getting older in age. Rei would remain in the crowd of people momentarily, listening to suggestions and others asking for help. If no one or nothing interested Rei, she would disappear for the evening to go find her parents and assist them in packing their possessions.

Rei would serve as escort for their goddess Thalia. That meant that Rei's parents would be the last to leave the village, with the bulk of the village's material belongings. Rei needed to help her senior parents pack and move the heavy stuff before she too was too busy or gone and no one would be left to help them.
