[QUOTE="ammulder, post: 6950060, member: 6864710"] So I see two things in your favor: [LIST=1] [*]The half-elf you're trying to save is a Champion of King Oberon. Unless King Oberon is feeling pretty ruthless, you would think it was in his best interest to save one of his champions. So really, you're not so much asking for King Oberon's help, as offering to help him with something he should already want. [*]You've already treated one of King Oberon's friends/followers well (the Mimic), so you can always offer that as proof of your goodwill. "Look, you can see we're good guys, we already helped your Mimic -- just ask him!" [/LIST] So you might approach this with something like, "It's come to our attention that one of your Champions has been grievously injured. We know your followers are good folks -- we already met and helped your lost Mimic. We'd like to help your Champion too. Can you help us help you?" I would expect him to either assign you some task (like recovering the Mimic and returning it to him) or some research (the Lost Tomb of Zooba has a tome discussing returning one's lost mind...) or something other than a direct "OK, I fixed it for you," but that should be fine, right?
