[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 4042543, member: 8439"] um, yeah. As soon, you mean, as you say that an npc says that's what happened, you mean? As opposed to "hrm, that seems impossible to happen. Perhaps this isn't really the king who died, or the king really wasn't the hero he claimed to be, or there was another cause of death, or something else consistent with both the reality my character experiences and what I am learning here..." ?
