Independently I have had two players approached me about what would happen if they kill Lordship's obsession, aka Parker the rouge of the group.
I've been cagey about as I hate to encourage party killing, that and really all it is going to do in the long run is anger lordship as I've been doing the Lust obsession with her.
So two question, would you allow your party to kill one of its own, and what are your thoughts on Lordships reaction?

I wouldn't and I imagine Lordship's reaction would be to become obsessed with one of the killers. Changing his obsession type to match his sense of rage and vengeance.
Definitely would not allow a PC to kill another PC, unless the player consented.

I'll second "make the murderer the new focus."
Could give the rogue a heads up with an appropriate Perception check. Maybe said rogue gives them a sock party in their bedroll instead.
In Pathfinder terms, the rogue waits until the dead of night, gets out their sap and whallops the snot out of the party member that wants to gut 'em via sneak attack with a sap.
If the rogue is feeling it is a matter of live or die, they won't settle for dishing out nonlethal damage ... they'll quietly slit their throats, take their stuff, maybe bury 'em in shallow graves and move on.

What if they faked the Chosen One's death? I am against players killing fellow party members without a darn good reason. But, if they faked the Subject of Obsession's death, it could cause his Lordship's focus to shift to another target and put him off balance when the Chosen One reappears to confront him. Follow up questions: how does the Chosen One's player feel about the situation? Is she enjoying the attention from His Lordship? Have the party members pitched the plan to her of "removing her from the board"? How much do they know about His Lordship? They could turn the fake death into a trap for His Lordship.
Don't allow pvp if the rogue doesn't consent. At all.

Holy cat... that would actually be interesting.
The idea to kill him came up between sessions so I don't think he knows anything about it.
What alignment are these psychopaths? Have they been asked to investigate by the Sheriff? Killing a target of another lunatic's obsession sure seems like illegal murder to me, not to mention evil. The pc's are supposed to be the good guys...

This group is not going to go down in history for making intelligent choices. Druid tends to sacrifice his animal companions by making them fight his battles (his horse plummeted to its death on the goblin bridge), the rouge tries to steal anything not nailed down, and the Sorcerer is more about his crazy back story involving his character being possessed by an alien entity and is playing up the fact his character is literally insane.

They have a madman in the party and they're worried about the rogue's unrequited love interest? Yeesh.

hellow tall man.
What do you feel about this? i mean, as a DM i use to advice my players about how the group should be in a very general way, tips like "this campaing is planned for a group fond in helping people", and that kind of things.
Your group seems to be full of players that like to mock the campaing, and we already have plenty of work in our hands as DM'S to be caring about players that dont take it serious.
In your position, i would speak with my players, and offer them some kind of "character development" that turn what they got into a real group of heroes.
Or you can just wipe them out with an enemy that fights with brain.
Oh, sorry, i loosed the point. I would let them kill each other, sometimes people need a fight to realice that the group or the way they play are not the right one.
Might be what your board name translates into?

I'd suggest that you tell the players who thought up that idea to run it by the rogue's player, out-of-character, to see if everyone would be okay with it or find a way to make it all work. If they refuse to both explain it and rethink their team-killing, that's a really bad sign. If they talk it out and realize, "This guy may be planning to kill me, but NOT IF WE KILL ME FIRST!" is a bad idea, good for them.
Though maybe if they die in a non-hilarious way, they might be motivated to avenge their late characters with some more-heroic heroes this time? I don't know any of your players, but I can hope.
Tall man?
hahahaha, yup, sorry tall folk, i'm running Rise Of The Runerlods and i use to salute with "tall man or tall folk" because i like to see myself as a goblin DM.
I agree with the Shifty Mongoose too, you can maybe make them speak off character.
Please tell us how things go when you decide to act!
