[WFRP] The Bloody Crown OOC XV

And also, does that achieve anything long-term in terms of our nominal goals of taking over?

I think this is a very relevant question in terms of who in the party actually has this goal (and why).

Sieghard is very much on board with killing Irene (because of the ambush) and he has no love for Sforza, though that doesn't rise to the level of "let's murder him in his sleep." I can easily see how one thing could lead to another though, where the results of killing Irene create a need to remove Sforza which in turn creates a situation where we feel the need to take control to enforce some level of stability.

Plus, a regicide is not the same thing as a coup. With our current level of military support, killing Sforza and his wife would only earn us rope neckties, not the throne. The only winner would be Carraciolo.

Only if they find out it was us. You also seem to be assuming that Sforza dying means Carraciolo becomes undisputed ruler of everything Sforza ruled. There's no guarantee it'd work like that. For a historical example, when Alexander the Great died, his generals carved up the land he had conquered and split it among themselves.
