Three Thousand Club
Yup, skip me for pacing.
Goals for off-screen secret meeting:
- Convince attendees the role Asuna is playing is a mortal representative of some Dynast on the Isle whose family is negotiating for a marriage. The marriage is favourable for him, he doesn't want to see her die, and he's willing to put money behind winning her favour, the favour of her family, and keeping her alive.
- Pick a god to hold the festival for. Someone useful for shoring up the Satrapy's food situation. Inform them Sengon will fold if they push to have a festival day rescheduled.
- Organize the disbursement of funds through proxies to the attendees - they're essentially being paid to buy things from themselves and donate them in a grand philanthropic gesture, so it ought to be a fairly easy sell. They make money and they look generous.
- Subtly make it known that the Dynast is very far away, very wealthy, and has very little idea what prices are like out here, so there's an opportunity for all of them to make quite a bit of money.
- Have sources in local banking and merchant houses + the households of the participants keep an eye on where money and goods are flowing, and assemble a list of possible leads for embezzlement and graft. I don't know if there is a organization planning a rebellion, but at the very least this might give Asuna an up to date map of business relationships and the finances of the major players in Kandara, which could be useful regardless.
Let me know if you want me to roll for any of that.
