Arno has been seen summoning Pazuzu in front of 100 paladins in the name of Oram. We already knew this because Garr could have told us all the details. We don't know more about what the eeevil would do (since converting the locals isn't something new as it happened during our Dad's time) nor got any clue on how Arno got acquainted with Pazuzu in the first place.The only new information we got is that he can spank us whenever he wants with his psionics against which our rod is impotent.In case Oram was the only one not to have heard of Pazuzu, Arno has the honesty to call him Lord of the Lower Aerial Kingdom, so we absolutely know he's on the evil side.Sounds like there is a One True Path in the book.The Paladins have been taught the methods of Team Good. They'll begin printing religiouus material for the locals in around 3 years, and they'll call themselves reactive.Or not... We still don't have a clue on how to defeat them, though we at least know that a direct, 1-to-33 confrontation isn't how to do it. We've narrowed it down, if we want to be extremely optimistic.And it probably would work. Actually, the secret passage is unneeded since by flying it should be possible to enter by surprise through the stained-glass windows of the cathedral by smashing them for effect.I don't buy it. The marine on the ship called us the person with the native girlfriend. There is no way anyone would see a couple of Japanese ethnicity and describe them as "a man and his Japanese wife".You do bring a point with Carr's statement. One possible way to reconcile that is (again) using the genealogical mixing over time. Landor probably came from a wealthy and influential family who could have been, 500 years ago, related to a single sorcerer-king. There is a possibility that, through Georges V's wife and a Hungarian nobility line, Prince Harry is a descendant of Genghis Khan. It doesn't make him a Mongol and he would stick out like a sore thumb if he was trying to mingle in the streets of Ulan-Bator. Which is exactly what Carr is trying to do. Over 20 human generations, since half the genetic material pass to the next, this single ancestor provides roughly 2,000 DNA bases out of 3 billions. And since 99.9% of the genome is common to all humans, there is a very low chance Carr is actually sharing specific DNA with this ancestor. No pointy ears for him.Another possibility is that Landor, who spoke to the undead sorcerer-kings, got legally adopted -- a technique that might be useful to defeat some magical protections he's strangely fond of... -- and can claim to be a descendant without any blood relation.Or Landor claimed to be the heir of the sorcerer-kings of Old Bukhod in a metaphorical manner, because he had taken up their legacy and occupation, and Carr is thinking he meant that litterally. He's WIS 3, after all.</blockquote>
