Recently, one of the PCs in my campaign decided to try to kill another. She had provocation, of sorts, and at the moment, I'm trying to figure out what the fallout will be all the way around. Any evil schemes would be welcomed.
Details: This is a D20 Rokugan campaign. The action revolves around Kobashi (a bounty hunter), Mioko (a Scorpion rogue), and Posen (an NPC, Mioko's mentor and Karmic twin).
Kobashi, hearing that a powerful daimyo might have a grudge against Posen, decides to arrest her and take her to the daimyo. Posen attempted to flee, and died while resisting arrest.
Because Posen had powerful enemies and the prestige class she was mentoring Mioko in was... less than honorable, the relationship was a secret.
Mioko feels honor-bound to avenge her mentor (and karmic twin, and ward... it gets a bit soap-opera like). Rather than assassinate him directly, she did what any good Scorpion would: she flexed her political muscles.
The daimyo of the Yogo family (Scorpion spell-casters) has been informed that Kobashi is corrupted by the evil of the Shadowlands and seeking to find a Bloodsword. He knows for a fact that Kobashi knows a very dangerous secret, which Kobashi has vowed to take to his grave (but this new letter may cast doubt on Kobashi's honor in the matter.)
So, the theme of my campaign is responsibility and consequences. I'd love to hear your ideas of what the consequences should be here, for both Mioko and Kobashi.
