I was thinking about cutting some of the musketeers or guards and have her besides Luc but maybe this makes the encounter to much difficult for the players.   Also I have a problem with the political repercussions of my player’s actions. They have previously contacted Inspector Delft and he has marked Luc as a not suitable target for kidnapping, just because the incredible amount of <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> that will rain over the RHC when the sovereigns of Danor reclaim his liberation.    With that in mind just imagine their looks when Lia Jierre greeted her brother at Vendrice Station.  Once again an amazing cliffhanger for a game session, just when the players were thinking about the repercussions of their interaction with Ashima-Shimtu BAM! , the king’s fiancée is one of the bad guys! <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devil.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":devil:" title="Devil    :devil:" data-shortname=":devil:" />  So, what do I “fear”? As I see, my players will get to the warehouse, look at the meeting inside, do nothing and then leave. Don’t get me wrong, I feel it’s a logical conclusion, they have discovered really valuable information but I would like to end the adventure with a chasing on Vendrice or a good session of sword-fighting atop a train. Do you believe it would be ok to push things a little so a confrontation is assured? Like having the Obscurati spot the players and chase them? Not sure to punish good spy-craft in sake of action...</blockquote>
