( open ) one shitlord arrives

WHO: Antonio Stark and you
WHAT: Arrival in Skyhold
WHEN: 16 Harvestmere
WHERE: Around Skyhold
NOTES: n/a

Gates
Most people of a certain level of wealth and/or nobility would have sent word ahead of their arrival to make sure the Inquisition would have been suitably prepared for someone of their standing. Antonio did no such thing, he found it much more amusing to watch people scramble. Instead he and his retinue rode up to the gates with no fanfare other than the spectacle he naturally was. Dressed in the finest and latest of Antivan styles he instantly stands out from his well-equipped, but far more modestly dressed guards.

"I thought this place would be bigger."

He climbs off his horse and walks away leaving the care of the horse to his retinue. He's got bigger things to do like waving over the first person he sees.

"Hey you. Come here!"

Tavern
While he had someone off securing accommodations and other little details he didn't care to know of, Antonio decided to pass the time with a bit of alcohol. His guards watch unobtrusively from the sides while he stands to his full-not-so-impressive height with a small crowd around him. Approaching makes it clear why he's attracted a crowd.

"Five gold coins to the person with the best story! Come on, who thinks they'll get lucky today."

Although it was even odds that everyone walked away with heavier pockets or he changed his mind and decides he's not interested any more.

If Antonio drank enough to black out (which happens far too frequently) more likely he'd have his unconscious body hauled out by his guards rather than left to the mercies of dick drawing people so he's never quite had that experience despite the numerous opportunities.

"That implies I actually lose at Wicked Grace. Everyone knows you never bet against an Antivan."

However he is definitely going to ask Cullen about it when he gets the chance.

"Well, it is true that he lost to Lady Josephine. I'll give you that. She's been far too busy for me to see her take on anyone else as spectacularly as that, sadly. But if you have an itch to surpass her, I want to stick around for that."

It's even more fun than watching other races react to qunari hooch, thanks to all the ridiculous stories included.
