Invitation[]
Narrator: " Onvu is a competitive game that requires a board and two people. It requires strategic thinking and quick wits."
Jasper: "I see. We have enough boards here at the Isle, so a tournament would be cost efficient, but a tournament when everyone is already feeling competitive and tense will require careful thought into the guest list."
Jasper: "It will be appropriate to invite a moderate number of people to such an event."
Narrator: "Do you want to host a tournament?"
MC: " Yes. "
Jasper: "Very well. I will start the preparations. Would you like to offer a prize for the winner?"
| Prize | Gold | Jasper's comment |
|---|---|---|
| Healthy tonic | 5 | "I will arrange it." |
| Winner's medal | 10 | "I will arrange it." |
| A pearl inlaid Onvu board | 10 | "I will arrange it." |
| No, thank you. | 0 | "I will arrange it." |
Jasper: "Now we must consider your guest list. Remember that people will accept and reject your invitation based on their feelings towards you and towards the type of event you chose to host."
Narrator: "You can invite 7 people to your event."

Number of attendees:

Narrator: "Next time, you will have to choose your invitations better.
Otherwise:
Narrator : "So (number of people) people have accepted your invitation and will join you for the tournament."
Narrator : "With the help of the Isle servants, you have managed to transform the empty ballroom into a tournament space."

Narrator : "Just as you finish setting up, your guests start to arrive, eager to check out the competition."
Narrator : "Traditionally the quality of a tournament is judged by the quality of its players."
| Who | Narrator's comment |
|---|---|
| Avalie | Lady Avalie eyes the room with sparkling eyes. Everyone else eyes her warily in response. |
| Lyon | Duke Lyon is famous through all the nations for his abilities, including at Onvu. You wouldn't be surprised if some of your guests accepted just for the chance to play against him. |
| Falon | General Falon enters the room filled with confidence. Clearly he is as comfortable in a tournament as the training field. |
| Zarad | Prince Zarad has a reputation for being as good at playing Onvu as he is at playing women. The others eye him with speculation. |
| Number of attendees | Narrator's comments |
|---|---|
| 7 | No one turned down your invitation. Perfect acceptance and attendance to an attendee hosted event is quite rare. You are sure this will do wonders for your hosting reputation |
| 6 | Almost everyone accepted your invitation, this is quite the achievement and will increase your reputation. |
| 4/5 | You had a few refusals, but enough people have accepted your invitation that you don't feel embarrassed and your reputation won't suffer. |
| 2 | You had a rather embarrassing number of refusals. Jasper had to round up some bored and minor attendees to fill out your event last minute. |
| 1 | Only one person agreed to attend your tournament. Rather embarrassing. Jasper had to round up some bored and minor attendees to fill out your event last minute. |
Narrator: "Once everyone had arrived, you randomly sorted everyone into pairs for the first round of the competition."
Narrator: "But only a few minutes passed before two of your guests interrupted the quiet in the room by breaking into a loud argument."
Narrator: "The argument escalated and grew louder and louder, the two unable to to agree on some obscure rule."
Narrator: "As the hostess, if anyone is going to settle this, it's going to have to be you."
| Test | Comment |
|---|---|
| Min 325 Persuasion | A few quiet words and you managed to convince the pair to settle their argument and everyone can return their games in peace. |
| 320 and lesser | Unfortunately, you weren't able to convince them to settle their dispute. The argument went on for a good fifteen minutes before finally someone found the clarification in the rule book. |
Narrator: "You manage to finish your first game early, leaving you at loose ends. But you aren't the only one. All of the players are finishing during different times."
Narrator: "As the hostess, it's up to you to try and entertain your guests while you wait for everyone to be done."
| Options | Requirements | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Engage your guests in an intellectual debate. | Min 150 Book Smarts | You and your guests enjoy yourself having a spirited debate while waiting for the last pair to finish and no one gets bored or impatient. |
| Engage your guests in a lively conversation. | Min 200 Likeability | By the time the last players have finished up their first game you have managed to keep everyone entertained and with a smile on their face just by talking with them. |
| Silently watch the players still playing. | NIL | You hover awkwardly behind the games until they are all done. The rest of your guests start to get a little bored while waiting. |
Narrator: "You randomly sort the winners' and losers' brackets and prepare to start the second game."
Narrator:"The competition has gotten even fiercer in the second round and everyone seems to be involved and enjoying themselves."
Narrator:"It's all going well until someone accidentally bumps into one of the tables, completely overturning the board and all the pieces."
Narrator: "This is an Onvu emergency."
| Requirement | Narrator's comment |
|---|---|
| Min 125 Quick Wit | Luckily, even though it wasn't your game, you had been paying enough attention that you can remember what the game set up was. And since it wasn't your game, the pair accept your memory as impartial. Thanks to your quick thinking, you managed to avoid an Onvu disaster and the game continues after a brief bout of applause for you. |
| Lyon | Thankfully for the sake of the peace of your tournament, Duke Lyon stands up, walks over to the overturned table and manages to quickly put all the pieces back where they were. Without a word, the Duke returns to his game, seeming annoyed by the quick bout of applause the rest of your guests give him. |
| Avalie | Just as things are about to get heated, Lady Avalie stands up, makes a few quips and sets the board back to rights. The rest of your guests give her a quick round of applause, after which she takes an amused curtsy |
| Otherwise | Unfortunately, this accident leads to an unhappy debate over where their pieces were before they fell. Eventually they reluctantly agree to start a brand new game, delaying the tournament and making some people unhappy. |
Narrator: "The second round finishes, leaving you with the final two contenders for first place, while everyone else played to determine their overall ranking. It is an intense final game, but finally the tournament ends and you crown your winner."

| Prize | Narrator's comment |
|---|---|
| Tonic | You congratulate the winner and to the applause of the rest of your guests you award them your prize, the healthy tonic. OR You give the runner up the healthy tonic. |
| Medal | You congratulate the winner and to the applause of the rest of your guests you award them your prize, the winner's medal OR You give the runner up the winner's medal. |
| Board | You congratulate the winner and to the applause of the rest of your guests you award them your prize, the pearl inlaid onvu board. OR You give the runner up the fancy onvu board. |
| No prize | Because you don't have any prize to offer, you quickly get the rest of your guests to give your winner a round of applause. OR It's convenient that you won, because then you could skip the awkward moment when you don't have a prize to give the winner. |
| If MC won and kept the prize | You decide to keep the prize for yourself. Hey, you earned it. |
