Another prong of the plan was for a hobgoblin army to attack the city on the same night to cause further chaos. They have diverted that plan already by killing the only hobgoblin chieftain who could unite several tribes, allowing the other hobgoblin tribes to fall back into warring with each other. The ceremony is two weeks away, and the foreign dignitaries are already on their way. the campaign has been leading up to this for a while, and they have been painfully aware of the deadline.I'm still trying to plan out Friday's session, but right now I'm leaning on giving each PC a different sentence based on their level of involvement. The PC who fireballed the nobles will be hanged while the rest of the party watches helplessly. The PC who initiated the attack will be sentenced to the headsman's axe, but at the last moment the Sea Lord shows mercy and only demands his right hand (the one the PC raised against the Sea Lord) in exchange for a public apology. Since this PC's pride has condemned them all (he initiated the attack because the Sea Lord taunted him as he tried to place a medal around his neck) that would be a fitting dilemma. The other PCs may be sentenced to join a labor camp or be imprisoned on the Hulks (large ships that serve as floating prisons).Or I could hint to them that it will all end very badly for them and let them die trying to fight their way out.</blockquote>
