Okay, so last session went pretty good. The party has now found out that 2 of their number has been specifically targeted by Antonio. Antonio has offered Sheridan a reward, that he doesn't much think he'll actually take, if he kills Melody for him. Lucian, the one who actually cut off his brothers head, he wants to drag out and make suffer. While normally White Courts are fine doing a sustained subtle manipulation war, Antonio is pretty much in the white court version of seeing red, and is barely holding back from just kicking in Lucian's door with a grenade launcher and blowing him to hell.
I intended to make this a case of "okay, the pressure's on, now you guys need to use social skills to counter his manipulations and smear campaigns, and then track him down and kill him." First part, so far so good, but the party has decided killing him is a bad idea, cause it will just draw more White Court attention to themselves. Which might be a fair enough assumption. So now Melody is looking into how she can fake her death. The paintomancer (Thaumaturge) wants to try and create a 'replica' of Melody out of ectoplasm and then have Sheridan kill it. What kind of pitfalls, checks, flaws, and successes do you guys see in this plan?
