Not terribly creative, though..As far as I written, the crystals and the assassin plot aren't related yet; however I was thinking that perhaps the prince and/or the rival assassin guild might be interested in the crystals, possibly either for their own uses or to succeed where the High Priest had failed and/or hand it off to a bigger villain than they are.I was thinking that one of the first murders was a handmaiden Princess Sarissa (of Salamonis), a case of mistaken identity-the handmaiden was wearing a dress that the Princess generally wore. I was thinking the info would have been passed to the rogue, via Salamonis' court spy. I was thinking the trail could start here, with possibly a clue, ie: a empty vial of some powder (with no label of course), found on the floor of Sarissa's wardrobe. Unless the party finds some sort of alchemist (or the party rogue decides to try to figure it out), they can find out what type of powdered poison this was. Perhaps it is only grown or found in one area of the continent and/or only one type of assassin's guild has a monopoly of its use and its creation into a powder form.It's D&D 3.5, however, I've been using the <a href="http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/blacksand/wikis/combat" target="_blank">Battlefield Events</a> from the Black Company Campaign Setting (so far we haven't used it, as no one's rolled a 1 in combat).</blockquote>
