Best of Greyhawk #3

meaning and function, if any, of each piece of regalia is explained.9th - The Investiture. The character accepts the regalia and wears any robes, spurs, crown, etc. This may alsoinvolve sitting upon a throne if appropriate. This is the penultimate moment of the investiture. If running anadventure, now is the time to open that gate to the Lower Planes and have the uninvited guests show up.10th - The Homage. All kneel and acknowledge the newly made knight or noble. Any oaths of fealty to the characterare sworn now.11th - The Jubilee. The character now leaves the place of coronation to joyous singing and the peeling of bells. I usea CD of English church bells and chorale singing here. This is yet another chance to ambush the character but bythis time the ceremony is over.I have run investiture adventures but usually do not. Playing out the investiture without an adventure needtake no more than a half hour. If you use the sound effects, the time passes very quickly and is well worth it to makea memorable moment for the player and character.********** End of Best of Greyhawk # 3 **********24
