[QUOTE="Laurel, post: 1885577, member: 17067"] Just have to remember as with the Bluestar, omitting certain parts of the truth is one thing lying out right is another. Since this will be over a long time and involving more them one person, to go this route they have to be planned out very, very carefully and in great detail. Everyones story has to continue to match up, all of which leads to more and more chances of slipping up. The problem here is there isn't a promintent noble that could work. We have seen what Tain has done to them- keeping close eye on them (spies in Oceanus), killed them (Jaine's family), turned them into slaves (AA's sister, Henry H.), or set his own people in charge (Edriss). Being a distant nobel may help... but I don't think this alone would get Tain's notice. Or if it did very likely he would say cool, here's a mission and send them off.... no chance for more info. What about one of Filmore's family? He may be more of a backround to the rebellion now, but his name was linked for a long time to Jaine's. According to family tree he's still up for kingship too. Also as the noble houses have houses there we have to be ready for whatever family we pick to know lots about it, and be a convincing 'sure grandpa you just haven't seen me since I was one month old!' for anyone in Thainsport from family. Again probably a good bet that he will have someone at hand that can figure out it's false. We specifically didn't give mages time to look it over since we figured even they at a much lower level could have figured it out.... Um... sacrificing a person just doesn't seem right. This is porbably the way that is most likely to get his attention, if the PC also offers to torture the prisoner all the better. he seems to like devious, powerful, and evil those are his qualifications for close freind. But turning someone in, sacrificing them, especially one who is not a prominent part of the rebellion is dooming them to shadow path, death, or some other bad fate. Possibly combining ideas would be better: Such as distant noble plan, lost loved one in battle blames rebellion, sees light, hates them and no proof against king, noble sure it is only lies they speak, noble was there for a time has info. for Tain- a willing servant, already saw the rebellion and chose against it, has information. But something would still be needed moment of, as inspiration hits, decided in advance to string him along... very gently. Need to keep the person attached to Tain. [/QUOTE]
