[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 6419064, member: 10479"] I agree that the party will likely be held blameless by most townsfolk who hate the Redbrands anyway. I also agree that the wizard would have more understanding of his spells and know it could set a tavern ablaze, but as said that ship has sailed and you have to roll that in somehow. Although [spoiler]the Town Master is titularly in charge, he doesn't really have any muscle, unless he calls on the Redbrands. The party is seemingly as dangerous as the Redbrands, so I'd give the Town Master a chance to change his ways. He obviously goes with the flow or he wouldn't be a Redbrand toadie at this point. There are two or three other interests in town who would see the actions against the Redbrands as appropriately ruthless and would want to talk the group up to the townsfolk. "These aren't villains, they are saviors!" would be a tack the mining mistress might take. Give the group a taste of what a nasty, brutal world it can be by having most of the town glad and encouraging them to murder the Redbrands on the town's behalf. Maybe have the shrine curator be the one, small voice of reason and calm while everyone else is now whipped into a frenzy to send the party up to the manor ruins, trailing the group with torches freshly lit by the flames of the burning tavern! "The time is now! We shall be free!"[/spoiler] I'd run with it, if I were you, not throw water on the fire . . . the one inside the players. It's like making a teen smoke the whole box after he sneaks his first cigar. :p [/QUOTE]
