[QUOTE="Tizbiz, post: 7069973, member: 6874057"] Hi, i am still storytelling the Dying Skyseer. The main matter is that i want to find a way to reinstate the kings sister as a trustworthy ally and really would like to build her up as the next queen. I have not yet read all the adventures but i have read/heard somewhere that the adventure path discusses that one of the players might rise as the next king of risur. I have some not so good experience about players being rulers of nations in several other campaigns and would like to avoid that if it is not necessary for the flow of things. My players were deeply frustrated by Ethelyns betrayal and tried to console the kings grief. I fear there is little reason for the king to forgive her treason short of using a geas or something similarly drastic measures? How would the Risuri people react, if Ethlelyn would seek to regain their trust? Ethelyn is my choice because it would add some spicy twist to the adventure. Last Session ended with my Players confronting Mayor Macbannin about him having ties to the incidents with the Embassy, the witch oil and his late associate Cillian Creed. The did not buy into his bluff and Macbannin finally told them that he is doing secret research for the king and that it is important that they do not uncover the story. The players managed to persuade him, that his research is probably not sanctioned by the king. (i invented a story about a Project X (old war research about human alternation which the Danorians as well as the Risuri did during the last centuries) and how this Project was forbidden by the current king. Macbannin agreed to discuss the matter with them and they found out that he is not able to speak about certain facts because of his geas. They actually found out that they can get clues by testing about which matters he can not speek. As an result my players suspect the governor Stanfield to be part of the conspiracy. They especially suspect him because the government has asked Heward Sechim to lower the prices for his products and they still think the conspiracy is building a warship in the bleak gate. They actually really like the mayor because they think he is loyal to his king and risur and they loved the idea of him guarding the city from the magical hazards of cauldron hill. My players went on and defended ole Nevard at the big meeting and last session ended with Nevard dying at their feet. Now i have the problem of the governor Stanfield beeing under suspicion of beeing part of the conspiracy and as he probably has the same geas as the mayor had they will reveal his inability of not beeing able to speak about certain matters. I can have Doro kill the governor and then the rebirth of the deva would delete all knowledge of the ob. And the ob probably has the ability to recruit Stanfield again. Macbannin is beloved by my players and deserves a heroic death as he prevents the nettles beeing drowned by witch oil. Any sugestions? Especially about the next queen Duchess Ethelyn of Shale or any suitable other NPC for the job? [/QUOTE]
