That did occur to me until I checked Annike's writeup - Ruthless 17. No way is
she going to let him live whatever her mother wants.
/// You're right! I had forgotten she's ruthless. But she's also devoted to her
family...
Why murder him? I think she'd have him put on trial with the PC who dumped
the problem in her lap as the judge and a heavy hint about the expected outcome.
That way she establishes her authority and gets a reputation for justice even
when family is involved.
/// Excellent. I might try something like that if there's time, even though I
hate all these court TV shows !
Another PC gets the job of prosecutor and you produce a Rokari bishop for the
defence who can argue that Stephan isn't a traitor and that executing him would
be a crime.
/// Ah yes, a minor problem there : local rokari watcher Jestocos the Stern had
his head torn off by a berserk raccoon wannabe shaman that fell from the roof of
his basilica, right in front of his whole congregation, in the middle of the
crusade ritual he was leading to support the putsch (goes to show what happen
when the Holy Power of the Crusade is misused). So no rokari witness.
In fact, the rokari exodus has begun, with only a few merchant talari staying in
Fay Jee. The rest of them left, horrified, but about a hundred dronari converted
to Ashara.
In a Season, Living Saint Theoblanc will call anathema on this city of murdering
heretics and threaten them of the Crusade. Then he'll focus again on the
Quimpolic League and Ralios... Maybe.
