Scarab Sages

I am starting the tax riot next time we play. I have a PC who is a town guard. I was thinking of having him be the one to try and make the arrest on Maarvu...I also have a rogue who is trying to get in good with the Last Laugh, so I was thinking of letting him in on the plat to try and incite things, but not that they are going to try and whack his frend...


How do the PCs feel about Maavu so far?


it sounds interesting but anytime you have deliberate inner party conflict I can see things getting bad.
The thief might kill the guardsman in his sleep or the guardsmen might turn in his party member either way it could lead to a total party disintegration.

Scarab Sages

They are pretty ambivalent about Maarvu so far...

I think this will really make them hate the LL. I'm not going to have the party rogue attempt the assassination, but he will recognize who does...

I think the Paladin will be trying to quell the riot, but the appearance of the demodand (replacing the breathdrinker) will defintely get his attention...

How did it go in the end ?

Reason for asking:
Exactly what I got in my group. One town guard, one rogue, loosely affiliated with the last laugh, trying to get ahead of his fellow adventurers in the way of knowledge and/or power.

I want to slow him down considerably and force him to make a choice. The "town guard" character will have to accompany Krewis to protect him when he tries to arrest Maavu, while the rogue character and friends will have the task to kill off the accompanying "half-orc" patrol (which in my case will be half and half :) )

If he indeed kills the town guard, he's out of the party for sure. If he spares him (which I expect), he'll be slowed down strongly in his attempt to become a harlequin...

Anyone see a problem with this?
