Okay, that’s a bit sad. However, I still don’t think the guys in the mine did anything wrong – if a person is cynical enough to sacrifice thousands of people for some elaborate plan, it’s reasonable to assume they might even betray their own son. And it’s easy enough to check if what Tyros said about support is true; just find witnesses to his behavior. An investigation could be completed in a week, but who knew that Tyros had such a high level of trust and that no one would even bother to investigate…
Well, there are consequences, but an order is an order.
I saw our options like this:
- Not go into the mine in the first place to avoid any awkward situations, and simply report our observations later, without accusing Tyros of anything, just as a fact. We didn’t even know that there were Inquisitors in the mine; they could have been soldiers from Artheria, hypothetically. And, perhaps, that would have been the best course of action. However, there was still a small chance that Tyros wasn’t a traitor, but was actually trying to gather information about the Inquisition and was going to fight them alone. If that turned out to be true, and he died because we didn’t help him, it would have been a terrible shame. And, again, there’s the sense of duty – how many more Yukinos can we ignore? It’s unprofessional when it drags on.
- Believe the Inquisitors and join them. Well, that’s ambiguous. As players, we knew they were right, but from an RP perspective, it sounded completely insane. And the main argument, “they’re provoking you – don’t take the bait, are you stupid?” would definitely apply as a counter-argument against any Inquisitor plans. Even if Rika Heartstring showed up, regardless of whether the rest of the Inquisition supported her, I think many of our characters simply had a better opinion of her and wouldn’t believe that scenario. And those whose opinion matched reality would probably think, “well, she’s an idiot, what do we have to do with it?”
- Insist on disarmament and that the Inquisitors leave Myrkoria, and that’s it. As far as I understand, without mind control magic, that would have been impossible, although Gulveig would have tried to persuade them, appealing to logic, compassion, and Artheria.
- And the last option, you saw firsthand, Revan.
