PROJECT HAVEN WAR TABLE ASSIGNMENT: Mother May I

WAR TABLE ASSIGNMENT: MOTHER MAY I

WHAT: Remember that time when Mrs. Fitcher orchestrated a kidnapping and extricating Marcus from it resulted in an accidental templar death?

It turns out the Chantry wants some answers about that!

A representative of the Chantry, Mother Pleasance, has been dispatched to Riftwatch to review operating procedures and ask questions of Riftwatch members to achieve a better understanding of how such a situation occurred. Mother Pleasance is coming to the Gallows to occupy one of the guest suites, so get ready to have a Chantry Mother in your midst, Riftwatch.

WHO: EVERYONE.

This is fully a choose your own level of participation plot, but be aware that Mother Pleasance will be in the Gallows and taking notes.

HOW: CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE!!

Option 1: Fill out the form below and we handwave any actual interactions with Mother Pleasance. You can decide if Mother Pleasance has a nice conversation with your character, a not so nice conversation, whether your character helped her carry her books or joined her for morning prayer in the Gallows Chantry, etc, etc.

Option 2: A thread with Mother Pleasance. You can request Mother Pleasance drops into an ongoing Gallows thread, or your character seeks her out to run interference, or Mother Pleasance specifically engages your character for an interview, what have you.

Option 3: No need to interact directly with Mother Pleasance, but maybe you want to thread out any of the preparations or reactions to her ie stashing questionable materials and/or individuals out of sight, prepping and practicing for interviews, keeping her out of the Research department, etc, etc. Think of all the shenanigans that go in the Gallows daily and think of how you'd like to keep an old lady from seeing them. Tons of background tasks, the world is your oyster here.

Option 4: Brainstorm a way to get one over on Mother Pleasance, or otherwise facilitate getting her out of the Gallows and delivering a good report to her superiors.

Option 5: Whatever I haven't thought of but you might want to do, holler.

Drop your comments / questions in the threads below!

WHEN: Mother Pleasance will arrive March 1st, and an intended departure date of March 31st. No one is responsible for a report, I'll write one to wrap things up at the end of the month.

CHARACTER: Barrow

Interview Questions:
When asked about Riftwatch's day to day operations, what sort of answer does your character give? He's pretty honest about it, given he mostly sees the Forces training side of things and there's nothing much worth covering up. If anything, he omits that there are mages doing regular weapons training as well.
When asked about Riftwatch's hierarchy, how does your character describe it? Infuriatingly vague as ever, probably along the lines of 'a military organization & more or less what you'd expect'.
When asked about Riftwatch members, how would your character describe them? Boy howdy is everyone just giving it their all to fight the good fight.
When asked about Riftwatch effectiveness, what sort of answer does your character give? "we're doing our best"
What is the tone of the interview? Pleasant but reserved, only offering exactly what's asked (if that) and no more.
Anything else? He's a little bit on the dodgy side in the sense that he seems a bit anxious and pointedly changes the subject if asked about his own history. If pressed on the Templar subject, he admits that he was but then quickly comes up with something he needs to be doing and passes her to one of the others.

OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE
Is there something your character is doing to try and affect Mother Pleasance's objective? He's trying to be a good soldier, as by-the-book as possible.
