[QUOTE="Mallak, post: 2829186, member: 37105"] Actually, this doesn't entirely hold water, and even if it did it's not necessarily a good excuse. First, no one knows whether Bledsum has powerful guards or not. You haven't checked. As I recall, during your one confrontation with the man he called in the city guards to back him up. His own men doubled as oarsmen on the rowboat, and they were very nervous about getting into a confrontation with the crew. So no, I wouldn't say it's a given that he has experienced guards, although you're right that Guardsman Lieutenant Craeterre seemed cautious of him, which speaks of a certain political power. However, even if Bledsum does have powerful guards [i]and[/i] political connections, that doesn't mean that smart thinking and good planning can't thwart both. My point is, Malachi hasn't even tried, and already he's given up, based on what I feel is your (possibly fallacious) metagame knowledge. Of course, I could be wrong. Malachi may just be an uninventive fellow and prone to pessimism; you tell me. I would never want to tell anyone how to play their character, but I would also hate to see you sell the good doctor short. [/QUOTE]
