Intro: March 31st session

As our session opens, you all are in three groups. My plan is to rotate through them relatively rapidly; if you want to talk with each other when you're not 'on stage', I've added you all to the '#backstage' channel, which you can use for IC or OOC chat about what you want to do next.

To help set the stage, here's some pictures of where you all are at the begining of the session:

• A map of Pavtlow (from here)
• Sebastien and Alixandre:
  • The building where the negotiations are taking place (a hall on the outskirts of the city).
  • Ilya's ceremonial outfit for the occasion.
• Era and Raelynn:
  • Leonora Ivanovna Lopukhina, who will be leading the ceremony.
  • A view of the Church of the Prophet with the castle behind it (you're in a private room behind the clock tower).
• Charles, Pyotr, and Vasili:
  • A tavern by the river you've visited today.
  • A view of the inner city wall that you're near.

(Oh, and here's the view out E&R's window.)
