Within the actual setting there's no difference between PCs and NPCs, so it would be metagaming to use that as the only reason Sanguine does not die.<br/><br/>Granted, we could just have him get locked up and escape before he's executed, but then there's the problem that he can't go in the castle openly without being arrested.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I realize that aya's well played response has made the point moot, but I did want to take the chance to explain my thought process as well as that of my character's for coming clean the way I did. As dicey as it is for San to come forward with his name and profession, it'll only be harder after blood is spilled. In his mind, the worst that could happen is that he be sentanced to death, and his skills in sneaking and breaking in would make it possible to escape. At best, he'd be in with power players from both sides and get them into a bidding war for his services. As both kingdoms are strapped for cash, it makes sense to see what the Queen can "offer" him before taking action against her or her house.<br/><br/>Anyway, I'm thankful that everyone was kind enough to bail me out of the corner I wrote myself into. And I hope nobody is really offended by my character's tactics.<br/><br/>Happy Birthday America!
