#mai bhalsych of korse

[lullambii]

I’ve never been a big fan of Sera, but she reminded me that sometimes we need a little distraction, hope, and fun when everything feels stressful and gloomy.

[crossdressingdeath]

Herald: Lord Dorian Pavus, member of the Circle of Vyrantium, son of Lord Magister Halward Pavus of Asariel. The Iron Bull, leader of the famed mercenary company Bull's Chargers. As the name might imply. Her Ladyship Mai Bhalsych of Korse.

Behold, the best possible arrangement of people to bring to the Winter Palace. Not likely to cause any diplomatic incidents. It'll be fine.

[knife-eared-jan]

So, given that she lets herself be announced as Her Ladyship Mai Bhalsych of Korse, I think Sera should wear a noble outfit or at the very least a mask - the ostentacious version with lots of ruffles that would incidentally hide her ears as well - at the Winter Ball and why is there no mod for that yet?!

In this essay I will...

(How would the court crier have believed her otherwise???)

Celene: We will meet for the negotiations after we have seen to our other guests.

Gaspard: Inquisitor.

Gaspard bows and leaves.

Celene: Lord/Lady Inquisitor, we welcome you to the Winter Palace. Allow us to present our cousin, the Grand Duchess of Lydes, without whom this gathering would never have been possible.

Florianne curtsies.

Florianne: What an unexpected pleasure. I was not aware the Inquisition would be part of our festivities. We will certainly speak later, Inquisitor.

She turns and leaves.

Celene: You arrival at court is like a cool wind on a summer’s day.

Dialogue options:

General: It’s an honor. [1] +10 Court Approval (Vivienne in party)

General: An assassin is here. [3] - 15 Court approval - Vivienne greatly disapproves

1 - General: It’s an honor. PC: I am delighted to be here, Your Majesty. Celene: We have heard much of your exploits, Inquisitor. They have made grand tales for long evenings. [4]

2 - General: The weather may turn foul. PC: Let’s hope the breeze does not herald an oncoming storm. Celene: Even the wisest mistake fair winds for foul. We are at the mercy of the skies, Inquisitor. [4]

3 - General: An assassin is here. PC: Someone here is working for Tevinter. Celene: To the uninitiated, the court is full of intrigues which might seem sinister, Inquisitor. But they are of little note. [4]

4 - Scene continues.

Celene: How do you find Halamshiral?

Dialogue options:

General: It’s lovely. [5]

General: I can’t do it credit. [6]

General: Call off the ball! [7]

5 - General: It’s lovely. PC: I’ve never seen anything to equal the Winter Palace. Celene: We hope you will find time to take in some of its beauties. Feel free to enjoy the pleasures of the ballroom, Inquisitor. We look forward to watching you dance. [8]

6 - General: I can’t do it credit. PC: I have no words to suffice. Halamshiral has many beauties, and I couldn’t do them justice. Celene: Your modesty does you credit, and speaks well for the Inquisition. Feel free to enjoy the pleasures of the ballroom, Inquisitor. We look forward to watching you dance. [8]

7 - General: Call off the ball! PC: You’re in danger. End the ball. Send everyone away. Celene: Inquisitor, we suspect that our court has overwhelmed you. You may benefit from a glass of wine and some time to recover. No doubt you will find something in the ball room to entertain you. [8]

8 - Scene continues.

The PC bows and leaves up the stairs. Leliana approaches them.

Leliana: Inquisitor. A word, when you have a moment.

She leaves.

Next: Speak with Leliana

Mai Bhalsych of Korse

[fiveguysdemonsandfries]

Hey! Could one of y'all help out and read this out to me? I can't figure out what it says. -hands overs a slip of paper with "Mai Bhalsych of Korse" written on it-

The priest studied the paper momentarily, only to glare back at the stranger with a look that screamed ‘unimpressed’. “Someone must have played a trick on you. I would say you’re doing the same to me but… I have a hard time believing your sense of humor is really that dull.”

A bulky red figure suddenly jumped to Christo’s side, swiping the paper from his hands and shaking his head. “Don’t be like that Lil’ C-Sto, our friend here just needs some help. Let me have a look.” He squinted at the handwriting, the cogs turning ever so slowly in his head. “Mai… b-…hal…saich.. of Korse!” And just like that, the ogre proudly extended his palm to return the slip, “There you super go! If you need any more help in the future, don’t hesitate to ask!”
