Then said..."Really?..." in a quizzical tone. Then said "I think I know who she is....what's the chance my character might know?". That leaves it up to the DM to decide if you can use your player knowledge.But your BIG mistake? Was acting on that knowledge.  See below...If I was the DM...I'd have her be just an elf who wanted some help and companions to join. Maybe she read the name in some books as a child and always liked that name...so she became and adventurer and started using it. Maybe she got 'free stuff' from people who though she was the 'real' one...and she stuck with it. Her family might be really powerful in elven society, or maybe she is actually named after her "auntie Valindra"...<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😈" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f608.png" title="Smiling face with horns    :smiling_imp:" data-shortname=":smiling_imp:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />Then, if the Players use that supposedly "player knowledge" and just assassinate her one night when she isn't looking...well... lets just say that the phrase "...you really stepped in it now!" comes to mind. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😈" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f608.png" title="Smiling face with horns    :smiling_imp:" data-shortname=":smiling_imp:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /> The "real" Valindra finds out that some adventurers just up and cold-bloodedly-murdered her little, innocent, naïve niece and she's none to happy about it! LOL! Well...if the PC's thought they had a potential enemy in the group, well, now they DO have an enemy...but now they have no idea when or how said new lich-enemy-chick will strike at them for revenge!In short...I'd make you and everyone who participated in your plan suffer the consequences of using Player knowledge.Don't do it again.... or do. Your choice... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />^_^Paul L.
