They seem to have declared actions precisely because they were taking the game seriously, and so wanted to get the information they wanted from the Lord's private sanctum.I don't think that a side quest is a very good idea - it will just drain away the evident momentum that has been created. I'd run with what's happening!I think an alternative here is to use the action resolution mechanics. That's what they're for, after all!Anyway, I think this idea that the players will be wanted criminals, unable to go anywhere without being hated, etc is overstated. In the real world organised criminals (mostly involved in the drug trade, in my country at least) are able to live their lives, enjoy hanging out at hotels and casinos, etc.In a fantasy game things can be at least that wild, and maybe wilder. Queen of the Black Coast is one of th most highly-regarded REH Conan stories, and that story starts with Conan having done the same sort of thing as happened here. It didn't stop him going on to be a revered king of Aquilonia!</blockquote>
