[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1900515, member: 158"] You really won't know how tightly the stories blend together until they actually happen - one PC could do something immensely stupid, one PC could do something that destroys the plot for another PC, etc. The best solution is to use this as a loose guideline, but be ready for ANYTHING when you actually run them. A blended story like this, when it works, is beautiful, but when it doesn't, it could send a DM scrambling to make it come back together. It's probably better to not make the Wizard the sole witness, and especially not the one who gives the most damning evidence - rather have it be a 3rd party "innocent" witht the wizard being a spectator. You describe what he saw, and let him say what he wants to the constables. One thing about Sharn: the guards are bribeable, with the exception of one or two districts. The guards in Smoky Towers or Torchfire (the two "operatic" and theatrical districts) are definitely corruptable, and might be willing to either "railroad" someone or keep some facts quiet for a fee, so that may take the heat off of the eyewitness PC's. Maybe the serial killer is paying the guards in the district off, making it a safe district for him? [/QUOTE]
