As always I enjoy the roll playing both in the thread Tulbas involves and on the other threads of the plot.
I feel like Tulbas has "bad luck" following him. He almost was able to flee his attackers but failed.
He almost convinced them to let him go freely among them but "something" came up. ( *Angry looks in TristenC & Haahque directions*
)He has a charmed companion among the Belzorites but that didn't help him.
So it is a little bit frustrating. I'm thinking a lot how to get out of the mess even when not posting here.
But I guess sometimes you have no control over scenario and just need to have faith.
It's true some of the actions I had Tulbas done were irresponsible. Still I tried to have it justified in some way. Tulbas went alone at night for two reasons, he doesn't want to return to the house were Raetmal was murdered and the murderer who took everything from Tulbas, lives. Also at night all is quiet and he can "drown" in his thoughts.
When he went near the brothel it was since he believed there is more chance to discover who is responsible for the disappearances at night. It was spontaneous and obviously a mistake. Although he was cautious and hided in shadows when he could.
This chapter in the Belzorites hiding place was almost only role playing and mind games. It was fun even it didn't work in Tulbas favor.
Don't take that as judgement but three things surprised me. I thought Aurilia first choice to earn money would be as a healer. She doesn't have to expose her divine abilities since she also have the healing proficiency. She could heal people here and there, stay away from the spotlight and get more money than in the smithy. There is a risk that the church will hear rumors about it and then she will be a high priority target of the church.
The other one is Kendra choosing joining the Army and not the brothel management. True, joining the Army might help Sardon guys a little bit more in the short term (and even that is not sure as many times the soldiers don't know a lot about the leaders tactics) but in the long term the brothel would become a center of power, information and... ehhh rock'n'roll.
Lastly I thought that Raetmal would have known about the Qualinesti route to the city and could use it to escape.
In any case, there are interesting developments in the plot and even there is always the risk of rolling new character it is better that way.
Waiting to see our characters meet again
if we get you out you can't stay mad, right? ...right?
