Message: <blockquote data-quote="jkason" data-source="post: 5480692" data-attributes="member: 2710">Nathan Tchanlach, human sorcerer"We can question him all we like, but I think he's made it rather painfully clear that the charm he's under is rather all-consuming," Nathan says. "He was willing to kill us to help the caster; I hardly think lying is beyond him. And, honestly, I'm becoming decreasingly sure of our ability to recognize lies when we run across them. I don't think we could trust any intelligence we gained from the questioning, then."Meanwhile, I haven't met many underground tunnel systems with only one entrance, so whomever recruited these orcs, charmed Alnar, and is--we assume--behind the murder of our client's brother, is likely making his or her way to safety, reinforcements, or both. What are the tactical advantages of either of those options?"[sblock=OOC]I'm a bit stuck between RP and metagaming, I admit. I absolutely don't want to short change Luinnar, but from a character perspective, Alnar's someone none of us really knew, who wandered off on his own only a couple of hours (if that) after we met him without telling any of us he was leaving or what his plans were. He next showed up in the company of our enemies, and though we've detected a charm, well, he did just try to kill us. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  That's where I'm coming from with Nathan, at least: he's frustrated that he thinks Maschera's played him and the group, so beyond the kindness of binding rather than killing someone who was trying to kill him, he's pretty focused on continuing to track down Maschera and whatever's going on with her and its connection to the murder. That's where I'm at, anyway. I'm honestly not trying to make things difficult, just trying to reconcile things IC vs OOC. [/sblock]</blockquote>
