Reliable"  The voice of doubt whispered malevolently in his ear, you could almost picture it... Smiling, if a voice could smile".  This was John's demon.  His self doubt, that same doubt which had plagued his mind for generations, as a similar voice had plagued his father, then his father before that...He looked again to the water-skin he had produced earlier, about to drink at the great delight of his feelings of self-doubt, he paused, looking upward at Horse who had just caught up with him, a big grin on his face, then at Mialee behind him, then at Helmut and Samara following behind.  With a sigh, he decided to take a moment for the others to catch-up.  He shrugged at Horse, as he approaches, offering him a swig from his skin.  "Whiskey"?[sblock=OOC] If I'm actually annoying anyone out of game, I apologise.  I know Paladins can be painful to play with sometimes, but as John is conflicted, he's actually paused at this point to potentially not pursue these men.  He presently sees Helmut as the party leader, so whether John now commits to the chase or not will hinge on Helmut's decision as well as Samara's input as he values the cleric's input too.  I know a Trithereon Paladin isn't normally about authority and all about individuality, but I like this idea that John's "No good pretending I'm something I'm not" ideal and his "Vices" flaw are currently hindering that, so he's doubting himself.If Helmut wants to pursue, I'll roll my dexterity now for post progression [roll0]If Helmut doesn't want to pursue, John will back down.
