[QUOTE="Kraydak, post: 4986438, member: 12306"] A few other things. Firstly, what are the PCs supposed to do once they are imprisoned? Note that generally escaping imprisonment is *harder* than avoiding capture unless there are mitigating circumstances. This makes the tactic of surrendering only to escape later is a bad tactic in general (there may be cases where you have to hope there are mitigating circumstances that you don't know about, of course). So I really wonder why you want the PCs imprisoned. A case where the PCs accuse some guy of treason and get told that sure, the guilty guy will go to jail but so will they... screams that the fix is in. Not knowing that, a reasonable way to get the PCs imprisoned (or not...) is to make it clear [B]up front[/B] that the PCs and whoever they accuse will be put into protective custody/house arrest while details of the accusation are checked out. This means that the PCs getting arrested (or having a good plan to avoid getting arrested without screwing up their accusation) becomes their own choice. [/QUOTE]
