It's strange how we can blackmail Gisette with our "accident" but not Lord Aldric's murder XD
Also, I'm curious how you got killed because of finding the method. Does that mean you failed to blackmail her?
I wanna say it's because, as the PC points out in narration, we didn't get any material proof that it had anything to do with her, but... neither do we about her attempt on us, yeah xD
Yeah! I don't remember if the fail trigger was a stat check or a bad answer, but if you're not convincing enough she's disappointed and insulted and does the same thing as the "tried as war criminals" response.
