Assassination Plan
Topic: Plot
The The Sapphire Torch is putting together a plan to assassinate Rodfyr Regulus. We need to hint at this so its not a surprise, and they also need to get together the tools required to pull this off.
We also need Judas to take a more obvious role in the arc, and generally the rest of The King's Court in order to avoid drawing suspicion to him.
They will make 4 attempts:
- Poisoning the King at a banquet
- Why is the banquet happening [?]
- Needs the cook to be a bad guy (or at least someone along the process - to get the poison into the food)
- Needs the taster to be a bad guy (or prepared to ingest the poison)
- ???
- ???
- Detonating the Tuner hidden on the royal airship as the King escapes to it
- We need to drop hints that the Tuners are not what they seem, that they store magic like batteries (its a secret that they can release this magic in one fell swoop like a bomb).
- Revealed in Session 24 - A Tail Involving a Dragon, though the players think the Tuner there was defective, not overloaded
- This needs someone to be able to sneak the Tuner onto the ship, not an easy task given that the airship is likely guarded
- We need to drop hints that the Tuners are not what they seem, that they store magic like batteries (its a secret that they can release this magic in one fell swoop like a bomb).
