Thanks, I like the idea of the attempted assassination of another justice. I got a little planning to do but that gives me a great idea to go about. Thanks for all the input guys and gals.

They never got to the part of finding out if the authorities believed them. They resisted being arrested which escalated into the guards attacking them. It would of gone much differently if they had gone with the guards and probably would of ended up with a minor punishment for trespassing if that. The guards never got to check the validity of what they claimed because the PCs attacked and killed some of them.

I don't feel like I strayed from the AP intentionally. It says the 2 faceless stalkers that are imitating Iesha and Aldren bide their time while they size up the PCs. Having failed to kill one of the PCs when he went alone, they realized that 5 of them are probably too much for them. Ironbriar trying to cover it up put additional patrols in the area hoping for some sort of fight. Who is going to believe criminals, much less people who killed city guard if they start throwing accusations around? So the logical situation in his mind was to put them in a situation where they destroy their own situation. I wasn't trying to force them to bluff through the city guard. I expected them to attack the stalkers immediately upon seeing "Iesha and Aldren" because one of the PCs had already seen them shape shift. They also passed several Sense Motive checks and a detect magic notice that "Iesha" were lying repeatedly and that there was active magic coming from her. If the guards had shown up during the fight with the faceless stalkers they would of sided with the PCs until the end of the fight and than probably questioned them.

Thanks for the advice. I was hoping to avoid running a jail break scenario or execute them but it seems like they don't have many options.

So my players got utterly and completely derailed yesterday. When they first reached Magnimar despite my protests that they probably shouldn't split up, they did anyway. A few went to do personal things, another was temporarily travelling alone because of the haunted house, and the last was trying to keep things on track. Anyway, the one who tried to continue with the mission went to Foxglove home alone where he was invited in and attacked. He fled with barely any hit points but managed to escape the 2 stalkers since they did not want to pursue him into the street. They contacted the Lord Ironbriar as to this "tough" person poking around and he posted a few guard patrols in the area in case they tried to go in again. A couple hours later my PCs regrouped finally, healed up, and went to file a report with the guards. After being told it would be investigated in due importance, they went back immediately to investigate a second time. Basically, the stalkers now aware that these people are more than they seem, and should be dealt with carefully. The PCs tried interrogate Iesha, but failed to get anywhere. After insulting her, she asked them to leave and they complete refused. She ran up the stairs screaming for the guards and they still didn't take the hint about the guards. After debating in the entrance room a small patrol runs up and asks them to drop their weapons which they refused and instead tried to argue/diplomacy their way out (which failed completely). After a furious fight with the guards, they kill several before being taken down, they now sit in jail. One of the PCs escaped but is almost completely unable to hide due to their race. It happened in the middle of the day in the middle of the street and several different guards and civilians can identify them easily.

So here is where I am stuck. How do I run a manhunt? What would be the appropriate gold reward for turning someone in with multiple murder/attempted murder counts? Ironbriar really wants to capture them all.

Secondly how do I run a trial? I don't want to condemn them all to death but this is not the first time something similar has happened. It has never escalated this bad, but I want to drive home the point that their actions have consequences. What could be a serve punishment beside all right guys, time for everyone to roll up a new character? Ironbriar is a good choice for running the trial, but being corrupted would basically execute them outright. So I will probably have another Justicar run it, and I will make one up for that. But what should do with the trial, a series of diplomacy, bluff checks vs the mind of the judge?

So advice? Help? Laughter?

You can still do it, if you extract the map images out and use something like MapTools to display them.

How would I go about doing that? I have used maptools in the past so have a basic understanding of it.

I just downloaded it and ran it in Sumatra and it runs almost perfectly. It takes a moment or two to switch pages, but once that page loads it is good. However the overlays do not work which is the main feature I want to work.

Hi everyone. I was hoping some one could help me speed up adobe reader so that I can use the interactive map pack I got with Rise of the Runelords. Every other file opened fine and I can use them with almost no delay. However every time I try to do something (even moving the page down half an inch) causes the interactive map file to freeze and it takes a long time for anything to happen. Even trying to change the settings takes forever.

Any one got some advice or help for me?
