Subject: Re: [7th Sea RPG] Avalonian Ambassadorial Ball, last chance

Lord Alicorn,

<<      Hello fellow 7th Sea players and Games Masters, this is part of my
 opening scenario for my 7th Sea campaign.  I am inviting all of you (again) 
to
 sent me characters and scene suggestions for the Ambassadorial Ball at Twin
 Unicorn House.  Have an Avalonian character you are particularly pleased 
with?
  Send me a description and why they are attending the Ball) and I will try to
 include them in the narrative at least.
      If there is interest on the list, I will also post what happened
 at the Ball. >>

   I hope this message finds you well.  I am honored by the invitation to 
your Ambassadorial Ball and am pleased to inform you that I will be gladly in 
attendance.  I will be there as your guest, as well as a representative of 
the Explorer's Society.  The Society is planning an auction in late Spring to 
raise funds for the most ambitious expeditions thusfar endeavored and the 
Ball will be an excellent opportunity to publicize the event.  However, rest 
assured that I will not let business interfere with pleasure.  
   I hope it would not be impolite of me to bring a guest.  As I will be 
carrying a few small but valuable samples of Syrneth items, it behooves me to 
bring a Shieldman to prevent any unfortunate circumstances.
   I anxiously look forward to a delightful evening at Twin Unicorn Estates.

Sincerely,
Lady Elly MacAllister,
Explorer's Society


Elly is a 26 year old of mixed Avalon and Highland blood.  She is petite - 
5'3' with strawberry blond hair that she usually keeps braided down her back 
and greenish-blue eyes.  She has a mellow and easy going manner - always 
polite, with a gentle humor and shy charm. However, she is not meek and if 
provoked, will be bold and unflinching- but still polite.
She will be dressed to the nines for the evening, in a lavish dress of 
seafoam green taffeta and frothy lace that leaves her lightly freckled 
shoulders bare.  As part of her attempt to publicize the Society auction, she 
will be wearing a necklace, two bracelets and a ring of Syrneth origin.  
These items possess an unearthly beauty, and have been deemed as purely 
decorative by the Society's researchers.  They are examples of the type of 
artifacts that will be available at the auction. However, Syrneth artifacts 
often contain undetected surprises, and they may very well have some sort of 
powers that no one has yet discovered.  But even if they are simply jewelry, 
they are still very valuable.  She will be apparently unarmed, though she has 
a small dagger slipped into the garter of her right stocking.
She will be accompanied by a Society Shieldman named Stephan Strathmore.  
Stephan is 32, from Avalon and very skilled with a rapier and main gauche as 
well as dirty fighting.  He is an experienced Shieldman and is good at 
improvising in unexpected circumstances.  He is about 6'2", with an athletic 
build and a prominent, distinguished mustache.  He will also be dressed in 
elegant finery, though less spectacularly than his charge.
Stephan will carry his beautiful rapier and main gauche at his side in a 
decorative balderic, and a small flintlock pistol in a hidden pocket of his 
frock coat.  He will not relinquish these weapons and he and Elly will leave 
rather than enter without protection.  He is there to make sure that she and 
the jewels are safe.  He will be polite and unobstrusive and stick close to 
her all evening, watching carefully for any sign of foul play.
   Elly and Stephan's relationship is purely professional, though they have 
worked together before and consider each other friends.
   Elly will be distributing information about the auction as well as 
offering promotional tales of the Society to inspire support and encourage 
membership.

Need anything else?  I don't have stats for either of these characters right 
now, but I can work something up if you need them.  Also, this is not a 
cannon AEG 7th Sea endeavor, just a personal use of my characters.

This sounds like fun!  Hope this adds something to the evening.
Cris
