Thank you!
Another good one is to roleplay assassination attempts against your own faction leader! A disloyal family member can't use your own army against you, but if he's corrupt as well, then he can afford to bribe one of your own assassins to kill you!
Unpopular, corrupt, harsh, or even lazy faction leaders should have several assassination attempts against them - by your own assassins - during their reign. Even a popular faction leader might have one or two, hired by a jealous family member.
Even a failed assassination attempt might lead to an investigation, and revenge on the culprit - or who the faction leader thinks the culprit it. (He might get it wrong and execute an innocent man!)
Family members who hate each other can hire assassins to kill each other too. You could roleplay a feud between two family members and have them try and assassinate each other continually until one succeeds.
