Then there is the fact that the Charmed Person spell should not last over long. As ~12th level split between three classes, Nale is probably around a 4th level Sorcerer, so the spell will last about . . .Yikes! I forgot! Charm Person lasts one hour per level. That means probably around four hours until it wheres off! On the other hand, I can't see the others not thinking something is funny when Belkar attacks them (activating the curse from the Mark of Justice) while singing whatever odd song he was asked to sing. The singing might keep him from telling the others about Nale, however - which may have been Nale's point in asking for it. After the curse activates I imagine Belkar will be subdued rather quickly, but I wonder - will the curse remain activated until the mark is removed, or will Roy's password for activating it also allow him to deactivate it?Hmm, I note Belkar was only asked to sing while he fought. Once he has been subdued and is no longer able to fight, I imagine that he will no longer feel a need to sing, perhaps. I look forward to the next strip.Regarding Belkar's question to the Oracle, I'm guessing Miko. Remember that the Paladins do not know of the deal that allowed Belkar to leave the prison. She already believes the OotS to have all but joined forces with Xykon - and so possibly are borderline evil as is. Should she next meet them before their quest is finished, she will certainly view Belkar being with them as a further sign of their non-Good nature. She will never believe that her own Lord / Shojo made such a deal - allowed a known murderer to roam free. She will attack on sight and strive her best to kill at least Belkar - as he is known to be evil beyond doubt. (Her quip regarding Belkar's wishes to be put in a pit due to cultural preferences - combined with the fact that she had him in chains for part of the journey south (if I recall correctly) would have allowed plenty of time to scan him without that lead sheet in the way.)</blockquote>
