I am thinking about altering the penultimate climax of Skinsaw Murders to be an attempt on the Lord Mayor's life at the annual Seven Veils masquerade ball.
My thought for the setup would be as follows: the PCs raid the Seven's Sawmill but either the justice escapes or was not there. In my game Nualia survived and has become a succubus, so perhaps she could take the place of the cultist leader at the mill and succubi usually have an easy time escaping. The only hook they find is the cult leader's journal, and after a few days of translations they discover that there will be an attempt on the Lord Mayor's life at his annual Seven Veils ball, which is in a couple of days.
That's where I'm at so far. Has anyone altered Book 2 to have this sort of climax? Are there resources that anyone can point me to so I can design such an encounter? I'm thinking that perhaps there is a secret entrance between Defiant's Garden and either the House of Welcome or the Deverin estate.
