My players are finishing up Thistletop in the next week or two and I was thinkg of having them start The Skinsaw Murders by being blamed/framed for the initial murders. Has anyone else done this or have any thoughts?
I'm planning on having the Mercantile League throw them a fancy dinner party as thanks for saving the town and as a way to introduce them to the noble houses there since I haven't done much of it yet. I'd like a Scarnetti to have a crush on the female druid (also to have more than 1 suspect for the lust notes) but Titus does not like this and when the murders starts he blames the PCs. After the party, everyone goes their own ways and that's the same night the murders start. The wizard with a tongue of gold has been regularly seeing Shayliss unbeknownst to her father so if she doesn't vouch for him that night he will look pretty suspicious. So it's looking like Deverin, Kaijitsu, and Sheriff Hemlock will be on the side of the PCs but Scarnetti, Valdemar, and Vin will be against. Problems I'm seeing will be possibly splitting the party if some are jailed and others aren't. Also, how will they get access to the crime scene?
Anyway, any thoughts would be appreciated.
