The Theocracy

[Insight]

"Great, so lets go then guys. Um.. are we leaving the prisoner, by the way?" She glances nervously at Shazool, wondering if he's still hungry. She knows he'll read her mind, so doesn't bother to disguise her unease with the thought of delivering someone for death.

Caul looks at the prisoner and sneers. "I don't suppose we've any use for him anymore. I'd be tempted to return him to his people unharmed, but that might leave us vulnerable, assuming he remembers any of this."

"Also, we've only so much transportation magic to go around, and I'm not sure stopping by one of the theocracy's bases is a terribly good idea."

[sblock]Alternately, Caul could use Modify Memory to cause our captive to tell his friends something else about where we are going. He could 'remember' us planning to go to the big city, or to attack one of their other bases, something along those lines. He could also use Suggestion to cause the priest to reveal himself as one of our spies, and thus, agents of the Theocracy would not trust whatever he told them (and likely imprison him or kill him as warranted). Caul would be more likely to accept the first suggestion, but either would serve our purposes.[/sblock]

Latham listens intently to the talk about the prisoner. He does not want to mention his petty reasons for keeping the prisoner, but he inwardly smiles at his little display of greed, especially when Caul brings up a very good point. "Do we know exactly where we are headed?"

Shazool offers to eat the prisoner...AFTER extracting all of his memory, of course.

Caul is unwilling to sentence this Priest to death, despite the fact that the Priest would most likely wish the same upon Caul and his allies. I suppose the prisoner's fate belongs to Caul, as it was the Psion who captured and has held the Priest. Caul, will, however, bow to group consent if any is offered.

 

[WarlockLord]

This makes Shazool a little crestfallen. However, he understands and will bow to the group.

"If it pleases you to keep the prisoner alive, Caul, might I suggest what we had previously discussed? Although the arrangements might be a little unorthodox, it would still allow us to have the prisoner on our persons at all times. However, your plan of action is more feasible, if not ingenious."

"It would provide us some additional misdirection," Caul suggests. "If the Theocracy is looking for us elsewhere, that gives us that much more advantage over them."

"What say the rest of you?"

"Dehg can get a puppy elsewhere, I think your plan is the best. I'm sorry Shazool."

"I'd prefer the man dead,if I were the one to make the decision. I did not capture this man and wouldn't have left him alive. Ultimately, it is not my call." Hunter says with no emotion. "I will see many fall in our travels if these plans are suppose to work. But I hope this prisoner does not become a burden if we must travel fast."

Ilshana shrugs casusally. "Do whatever. Let's go kill a god!"
