[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 3333275, member: 813"] One question: How are the PCs a part of the King's court such that they can even begin to find any of this out? Red herrings are a must in this kind of game the fiend is playing. He has to have the nanny sneaking around sometimes in the guise of the Royal Chancellor just so suspicious types (like our party of adventures) will eventually run into the chancellor in more than one place in an incongruous fashion. Once they start following the chancellor, the fiend can "involve" the chancellor that the party can discover and expose. Thus the chancellor who has been curious about this nanny who recently gained the prince's ear is eliminated and once again the party has "successfully" saved the king from a nefarious plot. Or if you worry that the party will become sick of exposing yet another conspiracy in the castle, you could have a noble friend of the recently disposed chancellor ask the party to investigate strange goings ons at the castle. Cool stuff. [/QUOTE]
