Re: Chat Based Pathfinder
I can see IC reasons to both stay and go. Given the way Islona is aligned, both alignment and god-wise, though, she'd be hard pressed to leave with the plague still ravaging the streets. Pursuing the other lead might be a good idea.
Part of me wants to have a chat with the wizard again, but one, not so soon after the incident, and two, maybe digging around the other leads might be good. I sort of want to find out if we were set up or if our prisoner buddy is on to something and we were just in over our heads. There's several things that the wizard spouted off that just don't jive, mostly because of lack of information IC.
One of the biggest things is his spouting off about having the clerics on retainer. I/Islona wants to find out that, if that's the case, is he paranoid about losing the pregnant lady again or *why* couldn't she be raised after being killed by this guy?
The other thing is, whether or not it is a set up. Of course, Zone of Truth was active when he was talking, but at the same time, if you *believe* it's the truth, then it doesn't show up as a lie. Going and talking to the wizard again would mean tipping our hand about knowledge of the existence of the greycloaks, and thus letting our enemy know that we're on to them. But if he's being set up, too, we might gain an ally.
Another thing that's sticking in the craw is that if he thought Byzat was the only threat, even if the rest of us didn't put down our weapons, he still f'ing breathed on us! *grumbles* Anyway, that's my two cents on the matter. If we do talk to him, I'll try to come up with a reason to not split the party overmuch, though I don't know how he'd feel about meeting with *all* of us, if he'd even do so at all. Granted, he could bring his own bodyguards, but still, it's the idea of it.
