Feedback, please!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />We bring one Talon Red Mage out of the prison to sit/stand next to Justice just outside of the prison.  Handing him a candle, we ask him to cast Identify on it.  He would learn it is a Candle of Truth-- a magical item that, when lit, makes lying particularly difficult... not so that we can lie more easily... but, so that they have a reason to believe that we are telling them the truth...Justice--a trustworthy paladin and cleric clad in Apectan gear-- jumps on her soapbox and, in the most diplomatic of fashions, relays what has happened in the past months.  Their king has not only allied with the dark forces of the West, he has lied to them in order to use their magic to attain evil ends. *diplomacy check +32... +34 with Xath's aid... +36 with Eagle's Splendor*And, most importantly, we tell them the truth.We inform them that they have two options, they can stay and fight for us (something that will require a contract) or, we will provide rations for them to travel home (maybe teleporting them someplace within a couple days travel of home?)After the speech, we essentially field questions from the Talon Red Mages... hoping our answers continue to convince them that the Army of the Phoenix fights the good fight and they will join us.Each of you there (that has a ring) can ring Justice things to say whenever you want her to say them.</blockquote>
