Most polls showed that Americans thought OJ was gulity but a jury found him innocent.I think a lot of people are using knowledge that Miko does not have access to. As the readers we are aware of everything that has happened she is not. I also think that some people are judging her actions based on a dislike of stick in the rump paladins and the fact that the OOTS are the good guys and we have been following their adventures from the start.I have read that she should know more about Lichs because she has knowledge relgion so that would tell her that the OOTS was not lying when they said he was destroyed. But she is a multiclass paladin so how do we know that she has enough ranks if any in religion to know this.If Miko does not know how lichs have to be destroyed then it is perfectly reasonable for her to form an opinion that the OOTS lied about destroyed him. And then wonder why did they lie what possible purpose could lying hold. Except as a cover to hide their allegience with the lich. And can Lich's be raised with spells? Miko was told to bring them back for trial if Shojo really wanted to talk to them why not send a messanger with an offer of a lot of gold for them to come instead of the ruse of a trial. So there was a trial that now Miko knows was rigged. Why is it such unreasonable thought that she might wonder why Shojo did this.  He had other ways to get them to come to Azure City so is it possible that he wanted a cover becuase he is indeed working with evil.The point I am trying to make is simply this while I think Miko acted rashly and this lead to her paladin powers being stripped I don't think her reasoning is totally out of whack based on what she saw and heard. I have played in games where I have gotten the DMs clues wrong and based on what I saw and heard I formed the wrong opinion. This is what I think the case is for Miko she based her opinion on the information that she had and yes on her emotions. I think her emotions colored a lot of her actions.She had feelings for Roy and he rejected her so that had to co,lr how she felt. And to find out that her leader and someone who she really looked up to had lied, broken faith with the paladins that he himself had brought her to serve with had to feel like the ultimate betrayal. Even Hinjo felt betrayed by Shojo. Taking all these feelings into consideration and what she had heard I do not find it unreasonable that she would come to the conclusions that she did.Where she made her mistake was not in gathering evidence to support her conclusions.</blockquote>
