All innocents that could be saved have been saved, although there was about 150 that died indirectly from the heroes actions. Essentially they were poisoned by a cultist and required more poison to stay alive - and the heroes destroyed the foul lab without this knowing this fact.The assassin is a genuinely unique Neutral aligned assassin. He is the proxy of a hidden ally within the greater cult. The player intends for his assassin to reform so far as to become a desciple of St Cuthbert.Hmm, yeah, we though making the assassin non-evil and a servant of a reformed cultist would have been enough to ensure a workable relationship between them. The Knight is the core member.Problem with on-screen atonement is that it is about one character. We usually handwave solo stuff bacause of what it is. Certainly the after effects will continue but the non-glamerous Quest probably won't be fun to play out.Yeah, we've talked and agree that following the cohort is not such a good idea. The existing cohort needs to be replaced however because she has to return to her freed noble husband. It was just an idea... Still, a replacement cleric cohort could be pretty cool.An oath for a year is going to become backstory, our characters will split up in different directions for this period. The in character reason for the 1 year hiatus from assaulting the greater cultist lair is that the two nearby Kingdoms will wage war on each other. (Oh yeah, my Knight also has to choose which side: the land of his family or the land of his liege.)So... currently I'm thinking something like:- cohort leaves him to be with her newly ransomed husband- confess sins to high priest for atonement- high priest send him to grand priest to earn trust through undertaking a quest- seek permission from liege to undertake quest- quest is to safeguard holy sites and protect pilgrims for a year- do quest while war rages- while war rages, refugees from both sides take refuge and he can distinguish himself- makes friends with an atoning cleric- after quest receive atonement- back into it! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
