I'm not arguing anymore; I'm just trying to understand the correct course of action that was intended for us. Politely listen and escort him to the city? But what if he approaches the walls and blows everything up with magic? But he also won't agree to interrogation and detention. He hasn't technically broken any rules, but what should we say in the report? A plague avatar of a demon lord is wandering through the forest, and we let him pass? And what prevents a squad of soldiers in Arthurian armor from saying that they are just returning from a festival and got lost in the forest?)))
In short, the more I think about this quest, the less I understand.
