Event id = 20290 is triggered by # Generic Plot Uncovering event id = MNM.70022 or # 929: Plot Uncovered without DLC. It gives random vassal that have a plot an opportunity to kill liege's spymaster. This event is very weird, because:
1. On success the murder is always known, no outcome for "suscpicious circumstances";
2. There are no consequences for muder/murder attempt that should be applied (events id = 10 / id = 11), creating confusions like this:
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/no-retribution-for-murderers.1054845/ ;
3. Chance to kill is very high (50%) and is not modified by skills/anything;
4. AI only;
5. AI decision making is too primitive. When it is connected to event id = 929 about random province character doing something stupid, it is somewhat understandable, but offmap job fires it for rulers, much higher stakes;
6. Player receives two options in this event, something like "I need to do something" and "Nah, boring", both of them don't do anything.
I think this event chain needs to be changed.
