[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8932005, member: 23751"] It doesn't. Clan = government. Each clan governs itself. He represents the clan per the adventure, therefore he represents the government. Now you're the one inferring. ;) If America and 9 other countries shared a prison where all had say in what happened there, then America would have to use it's influence if it wanted to do something with the prison outside of the norm. So it doesn't at all suggest that they are not an official member. It suggests that they did something as you note, creepy and extrajudicial in getting her a life sentence there. I agree. Or even NG, since NG is the alignment most likely to do potentially untasteful things in the pursuit of the greater good. A few things here. First, it says that Varrin is an old acquaintance of member of the Goldfinger organization. This could be a favor among friends. Or he may have gone to his friend to seek the organizations help. Second, it is a surprisingly moderate sum of money, but they don't know it's that low. Remember, she spent most of the money on setting up her criminal network, so they think it's significantly more than that. Third, I think that restoring to someone property that was stolen from them is a good act. It might not rank near the top of good acts, but I think it still makes the list. Fourth, it seems like the Goldfingers aren't super informed about everything, so they may not know that Varrin is okay with Prisoner 13 potentially being released. [/QUOTE]
