Hello, I could use some opinions on a small matter

My most successful knight, a vavasour with two manors (one inherited, one from his wife) and 3600 Glory, has been picked by the Count to host him for a couple of days as he sets off on his summer hunting up the Winterbourne, Besides 2 Glory for the 2L he is lavishing on the Count and entourage, would you give him any extra Glory?

I would give him the same chance for glory that you would get in court as well as a chance for a Hospitality check. At least courtesy should be an option for ordinary glory and he could have the chance to accompany the count on the hunt as well. If he has any other courtly skills he wants to try now would be the time: music to impress his lord, falconry to show off his birds, etc.

I'd limit him to only one try for checks and glory, so hospitality and courtesy plus one other courtly skill.

That makes some sense.

Aside Scarik's and Morien's ideas:
Since where the Count is there is also his court. So Intrigue would also be an option to add.

If the visit is part of the Lord's Progress (and I would assume it is):\I see the Lord's Progress as a sort of audit by the liege lord. So many clerks and dignitaries are part of the visit examining the books and the overall state of the manor. Then a Stewardship roll may be part of it as you show the liege around. Maybe a project is (nearly) finished and the Liege lord can inspect the work.

Wait what? I didn't say anything! :)

But yeah, first of all I give 10 Glory per 1 librum up to 100 Glory. So that helps a bit. Hospitality check for sure and a chance to roll Courtesy for Glory like suggested. I do like the idea of a Hunting and Stewardship rolls, too.
