The Firebird and Three Princes

>Pose as a team despite the fact you are not a team, or even near each other, and any team posing would only be visible to some sort of omniscient viewers.

The three of you are spontaneously struck with the idea to pose as though you were in a team shot. Coincidentally, you select poses such that you would look like an actual team shot if you were actually standing near each other.

Vasili: Head to the Royal Annals to see if there is documentation of previous Firebird attacks.

You decide to do some research to see what you can learn about firebirds.



Oh man. Where are you even going to start looking?

Vasili: Ask a wizard or something.

"GAH."
"Hello, Your Highness! Can I help you?"



"Wait, we have a wizard as a librarian?"
"You have a garden that grows gemstones and golden apples."
"Well... okay, yeah, good point. Uh, I'm looking for a book on firebirds?"



"Here you go."
"What, already? Did you know I was looking for it...?"
"Of course I did! I'm a wizard, aren't I? Honestly, you and your brothers could stand to spend more time in here. It's no wonder the Tsar is so worried about his successor. Not like it was back in my day, when..."



Great. He won't stop talking, and you don't feel like you can just walk out. Well, you could try it, but you're pretty sure it's a bad idea to be rude to someone who can probably turn you into a toad. How are you going to get away from him?

Ivan: Take your new-found riches to your stash.

You are Ivan now. You decide to put away your new golden treasures before your dad yells at you again.



As you store your ill-gotten goods, you see something out the window.



It looks like the peasants are angry about something! Cool.

Ivan: use boyish charm to take control of the peasant revolt.

You think about taking control of the revolt, but they'd probably recognize you as royalty. You're going to need a disguise first. But where will you get one?

Dmitri: search Vasili's room for clues.

You are now Dimitri. You've decided to search Vasilii's room for evidence to the crime.



Gah! Vasilii's room is filled with useless trinkets! No doubt his cunning ploy is to conceal any incriminating evidence in there to deter you from searching through.





Fortunately, Vasilii forgot that you have servants for this sort of thing.

Dmitri: Vasili probably destroyed all the evidence. Forge new evidence to prove his guilt.

Suddenly, you have an idea. You can forge evidence and show that to your father! Then he'll take you seriously when you reveal Vasilii's nefarious crime! How brilliant!



But you should probably let the servant continue his search. You can quietly slip your evidence into the pile once you've produced it. You just need to think about what the forged evidence will be...

Dimitri: Go get your horse.

You decide that perhaps a horse ride will help you think about what to do in order to forge some evidence.



You get on your horse. Where will you ride to?

Bookcases have gotten their revenge on me yet again. Also, add horses to the list of things I can't draw.
