Domi Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 That would be an almost exact repetition of Coran's encounter with Brielbara though My impression of Andyr's Garrick was that he would not seduce a girl in passing, especially looking at his banters with Skie and Safana Link to comment
Hendryk Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 It needn't be like Coran-Brielbara at all. Garrick's girl wouldn't have a baby, she could be legitimately crazy and infatuated or she could be playing a badger game. She could even just be trying to make some other bf jealous and get a little carried away. And Garrick's reaction to her needn't be Coran's to Brielbara either. Coran, after all, has been there, done that already. Garrick, you might assume, hasn't and his innocence may not know at all what to make of her. Link to comment
Domi Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Making some other bf jelouse, and Garrick honestly getting confused and befuddled with his sudden success - now that sounds like a storyline I can see for Garrick Heh, over to Andyr though Link to comment
Hendryk Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Yep. Just as a kicker though, I'd make the bf a bit of rake/ne'er-do-well who is sick of the girl and, therefore, absolutely *delighted* to see her switch her attention to Garrick. And her dad is big, short-tempered, enormously tough and extremely hypersensitive about his "baby's" honor. Link to comment
Domi Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 We will end up marrying Garrick off without Andyr present Link to comment
Hendryk Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 We will end up marrying Garrick off without Andyr present <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Serves him right for leaving early. He can play the reprieved bf and give the bride away. Link to comment
Domi Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Only if he submits Quayle... Heck, if he submits Quayle, I'd marry Garrick off to Queen Ellisime! Or Lady Irulana. Or any other NPC, custom or original. In the Song of the Morning Temple. Link to comment
Belanos Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 About the idea of having Garrick doing performances. The first few times not much happens, but as he does more of them he begins to get noticed by people, coming up to him for autographs etc. But by the end of the game he becomes something of a superstar, with him getting all flustered over the attention but flattered at the same time. As for the irate farmwife idea, her daughter was actually knocked up by a guy the parents don't like at all. The daughter pins it on Garrick since he was just passing through and she figured he'd never be seen again. It's just bad luck that he ends up back in the area again. The party's reputation takes a hit until Garrick can clear himself and get the truth out in the open. You could really expand on this one, the daughter actually loves the guy very much but her parents are dead set against the union. It's up to Garrick to convince them that it would be a good thing to have the two together. Link to comment
jastey Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I like Belanos' version better. It's cute and has a happy ending. Nothing is better than happy endings. Link to comment
Domi Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Hmmm... would not the parents of the sort that are dead against daughter's chosing for themselves, would marry her off to anyone who'd take her after she was deflowered by some fly-by-night bard before the consequences show too much? So it would be weird if they did not settle for the 'other guy' (if he was ready and willing) waaay before Garrick came in. Link to comment
jastey Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Your words give way to an idea I had. Daughter and man: fall in love. Woman gets pregnant. Father outrageous, daughter and lover afraid. Daughter things of Garrick, who just happened to have passed through the village some time before, and accuses him (believing he's out and away). Father gives his wife to "first man" around: the lover and true father. This is the situation when the Party comes into the village (past). Now there are two parties working against each other: father recognises Garrick, gets outrageous again. Daughter and true father are afraid Garrick might "claim" his child, but of course can't openly tell the truth. Garrick has to explain himself to all, especially the PC. Situation could be solved in many different ways, one is a happy ending, with everyone loving each other. Link to comment
Domi Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I do not think though that if natter was solved hush-hush, that the father would risk bringing the scandal out into the open again. He might try to punish Garrick via spreading horrible rumors about the party and then you might try to get to the bottom of it etc, but I do not see evryone loving each-other at the end. Maybe threatening to tell the truth to everyone and make the family a laughing stock of the whole village could shut the guy up. Anyway, that brings us back to that Manor I am trying to sell to one of you for the quest. A daughter of the House would do, and there are servants quarters to investigate rumors Link to comment

In that case anyone but the real father would be their choice. But the daughter is making things difficult for anyone else, so they're having a hard time finding someone to marry her. That could leave open a subplot, with the party being caught in the middle of these two warring families. It could be like a Romeo and Juliet thing, except that they don't off themselves in the end. Garrick comes along and saves the day. Link to comment
Domi Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 As a person whose first mod was a remake of Romeo and Juliette, I personally abhor doing it yet again; Plus there were Aulava and Tiiro, dueling families in TRademeet... vendetta is over-rated, I think. I'd rather see somthing fresher But Andyr is the one who will end up writing, if anyone would, so it's up to him. Link to comment

The real father is off somewhere making a name for himself and intends to return for the girl. She is trying to hold to her promise to wait for him, but her parents are leaning on her to get hitched. All the while she's being a bitch to any guy the parents are bringing around to meet her, and no one wants anything to do with her. Link to comment
