I'm setting up a trial scene in my upcoming 4e game.
Basically there is a pirate guy on trial because he is being accused for the kidnapping (he ordered his men to interrogate her to get some information about magic gems) and killing her (which he did not order to, the stupid goons went too far).
One player wants the pirate to get a mild sentence or an absolution, another wants him to get sentenced to death or something similar. Obviously the outcome will be based on how the characters play.
I need some help in deciding how I'm gonna play this. I was gonna think to use the skill challenge mechanic, but it is more suitable for party-against-challenge type of encounters, so I though you guys could give me some ideas. I wanted to do something interesting, for one time.
