So, two players committed some serious crimes after having been fooled (not mind controlled) by a succubus.
They were led to believe that Radiance is actually a demonic artifact, and they decided to trick the paladin wielding it in order to steal it away.
This plan bombed spectacularly, and the paladin army, along with Irabeth all witnessed the two players attempting to make off with Radiance. Along with this, the paladin army saw one of the players convulse upon touching Radiance as they had the succubuses profane gift and took 2d6 cha drain on the spot.
So now I want to plan out a court martial for these two, and see what crimes can be levied against them, and what an appropriate punishment would be.
So far I'm thinking treason, heresy, cowardice, possibly desertion, consorting with the enemy, and espionage.
Would you group actually enjoy a Court Room drama?
What would you do with the rest of your heroes?
Well the paladin player certainly didn't enjoy getting a holy relic of their god taken away from them because of a blatant lie.
Or is attempting to steal a holy relic just not that big a deal and totally forgivable?

No, it should not be easily forgiven. I just want to make sure your players will not be bored while the two are in custody and in their trial.
