Sure, he can talk his way onto the (long) list of people with petitions that the ruler sees once every six weeks. Beauracracy was created precisely for this reason - keep the riffraff away.Even if he gets all the way to the throneroom, a simple diplomacy / bluff is not going to work. Sure, you can make him friendly, but that is not going to make him change his plans. He will just feel bad about ordering the PCs death is all.I would not tailor to their level. The lords power is not in his own level but in his resources and span of control.Of course, you could kill them and have them be martyrs of people when the new PCs waltz into town. (or vilified if the people still like/trust the Lord)</blockquote>
