[QUOTE="jbear, post: 5928681, member: 75065"] [COLOR="Green"]"Te toad?

[COLOR="Green"]Maui is not looking for a fight. And Maui did not mistreat te Toad. It was Maui who asked te Demon Hunter to stop his licking and let him go. It was Maui who stopped and picked him up from te streets of Vezna and saved him from te wheels of te carts. It was Maui who prayed to Tane to calm his frights from te Demon Lick.

An in character way to provoke Beyal to reveal what I suspected as a player, but that Maui is far too simple to have any notion of.

There are other subtleties that have been thrown out there, and I think it is fair to assume we all might be suspecting that the toad has an important role in he adventure, so I am loathe to so quickly hand him over to such a capricious creature that, up until all but a moment ago you were all very suspicious of.
