[QUOTE="trycade, post: 3544672, member: 52069"] So I am trying to do a campaign of intrigue, here's the situation: The PCs have been alerted to the fact that a local lord has fallen under the influence of bandits. The lord makes regular tributes to the bandits such as food, gold, and women. The PCs have come to the town to figure out if these allegations are true. If they are true it would mean that the local lord is in neglegence of his duties and should be deposed and punished. Heres my issue: I want uncertainty and intrigue! Of yet the PCs are quite sure that the lord is in fact corrupt. What can I do to mislead them? I want them to question their motives. What would you do if you were a corrupt lord in danger of losing everything? From the lord's perspective, perhaps he is not corrupt, perhaps he is just doing what he percieves to be a necessary evil to keep the bandits from terrorizing the land. Maybe he has plans to draw them in and kill them eventually! Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
