[QUOTE="Wik, post: 5440999, member: 40177"] While the PCs could conceivably be the agents of change and kill her, it's not something they would do, or feel comfortable doing. One PC is trying to become a political power in the feywild, and another has just recently been made a drow princess (as in, last session). *** On the side, the PCs have spoken to the queen a few times, and she has got them to promise non-involvement in "What I've been planning; you have to trust me that, while it may seem drastic, is the only solution out of this quagmire". She actually had Blargney's PC (who is typically the most proactive in these things) promise that, during "the event", he would do his best to protect Guineadh, the queen's adopted daughter. *** The way I see it all going is thus: There is a large party. The PCs can interact, and do as they please. They have a few encounters with the king, as well as a few of his spies. There is some political setup. The King then delivers his speech, about how he is the rightful king, blah blah blah. The public boos. And then the Queen delivers hers, and gets her knife ready. Her daughter tries to stop it. So do the king's men. And then the PCs can decide - do they stop the daughter from interfering? And then there's a dead queen, and the king tries to illegally seize power. The PCs can always attempt to interfere, and I will actually give them the option to do so. I don't think they will, because Mariselle's death unfortunately benefits everybody but the king (this includes one of the PCs). If they do interfere, they will lose their couatl patron (who has previously told them to remain inactive in this event). However, they could try to inact some PC magic and see what happens.
