D6EE Event - Test of Knowledge

[Jiyo Ayumu]

I mean, with Shiba as Emperor, you didn't really expect to not have an event with Lore skills involved, do you?

Test of Knowledge

As the Empire grows at the pace of a racing horse, it requires more and more men and women of exception to tie it up together, people able to understand and balance the concerns of the worldly merchant, the recluse priest, the seasoned warrior, and pull off the best compromise for everyone.

Handpicked by the Emerald Champion and her most trusted advisors, the civil servants burdened with such high responsibilities are expected to be knowledgeable about the many facets of the Empire. We've gathered some of the questions they had to answer through their career in a short pen-and-paper test, allowing anyone to experience the complexity of their task.

Location: Library

Participants: Unlimited

Day: D6

Time: EE

Rules:
There are more questions in the quiz that there are stars in the sky, and only a candle worth of time to answer as much as possible. The subjects discussed vary widely, from practical geography to conceptual theology by the way of the very new legal code. Candidates are expected to mostly focus on the things they know the most about, though there are some easy points to pick by answering an extra question on an unrelated matter here and there.

Choose any three distinct Lore skills, and roll Chosen Lore/Intelligence for each against a TN10. Your score will be equal to the number of successful rolls, plus one for each successful Raise.

No penalty for having called raises on a failed roll. Candidate can pick Lore skills they have no rank in following the usual Unskilled Roll rules. Sage grants phantom ranks as usual. All techniques, advantages, disadvantages relative to Lore rolls apply as usual.

Reward:
The contestant with the highest score will be allowed to request, should they wish so, an interview with the Emerald Champion forgoing the usual process, to discuss the subject of their choice.

Ties will be broken in favor of highest number of successful rolls, then in favor of the highest sum of all rolls.

Approved and co. Remember, true fun is spending one hour staring blankly at a sheet of paper hoping for some divine inspiration.

And since I didn't think about forbidding magic, I guess there will be some divine inspiration among contestants indeed.
