- Not a chance I'm going to help these shady bastards! I'd rather die, but I'll do everything I can to ruin their plans!
Jert was furious. He couldn't even drown his sorrows in beer right now, which made him even angrier. However, he was less afraid of the impending death than he was angry about how they were all so shamelessly deceived, and they were even happy to fall for it.
- It's better to talk to the real Sharron, tell him about the upcoming rebellion, the base of the Mist faction that Aldric visited, and most importantly, about the fake Sharron that they want to replace him with. But I definitely won't help the bastards from the Mist faction. Firstly, because I don't believe that these liars will keep their word. Secondly, because after all this, the remaining shreds of our reputation are worthless. We present ourselves as a decent company, not a bunch of cowardly traitors.

Oh, you want to die, which means you won't sail to the old world, and that means Arandor will never be able to admire the successes of Halmeldir. What a bunch of unpleasant people you are.

-- Why would they give us medicine after we complete the task, if they can keep us dependent on their drugs or just let us die? It's better to die than to submit to some self-proclaimed scum.

- It would be better to talk to the real Sharr, tell him about the upcoming rebellion, the base of the Mistlings that Aldric visited, and most importantly, about the fake Sharr that they want to replace him with.

-- If we just go and talk to Sharr, the Mistlings will likely find out about it very soon and shut down the whole operation, -- Albert noted.

“I must point out that fulfilling their request will not affect our reputation in any way. Of course, if everything goes successfully,” Aldric tried not to succumb to emotions and think rationally, much like Reinheld. “However, attempting to establish direct contact with Sharron, as Albert rightly noted, will force the Mist to change its plans and guarantee us a new enemy in their person. This will undoubtedly be a proud act, but not a very wise one. However, I cannot say that following the Mist’s instructions is particularly sensible either. But there is also a third, very risky option. We can pretend to follow their plan, but not complete the task. Instead, we will gather all the necessary information from the fake Sharron and try to negotiate with the real one. Luck is certainly not the most reliable thing, but I can say the same about the Mist clan.”

-I wouldn't risk my life for just one snake in a whole nest of snakes, - Stefan frowned. - You are risking your life not for the king, not for a family member, and not even for money, but simply out of pride. And if ordinary risk can at least be mitigated by your military skill, then here you are completely at the mercy of chance and the Mist Clan. If Alicia's life were at stake, I would accept the Mist's offer without hesitation. But since there are no personal stakes for me here, the choice remains yours.

– What? – Tiril asked, surprised. – Do you really think that we won’t be tricked this time, Stefan? And Mom said I was naive…
– Aldric’s proposal sounds risky, – said Albert. – But it seems to be more reasonable than all our other options.

-If you think you'll be cheated even after you fulfill their conditions, you might as well lie down on the ground right now and wait for death, - Alicia said melancholically.
I bet 10 gold pieces that they wouldn't cheat, or at least give you some more powder to delay the inevitable?

-- Ali... -- Tiril paled at these words.
-- Enough wasting time, -- Albert said firmly. -- I think everyone understands our situation, to some extent. Let's vote on how to proceed, discuss the details as much as possible, and act.
-- I'm ready to try it the way Aldric suggested!

I bet 10 gold pieces that they wouldn't deceive us, or at least give us more powder to delay?

The winner gets 10? I'm in. But without the powder -- the option of "getting them hooked on the powder and continuing to use them" is still a viable one. The only impossible option is "Okay, we'll give them the medicine, and then we'll go our separate ways," as the Mistwalkers said.

Jert shrugged dismissively. "Alright, we can do as Aldric suggests. Anyway, I have a feeling we're doomed."

From a role-playing perspective, I also lean towards this option. Actually, I have from the very beginning. But most people prefer a risky adventure.
— If I were sure they meant what they said, I would have done it that way, Aldric replied wearily. — But there are no guarantees that they won't continue to keep us on a leash for the rest of our lives. And that's if they even have a decent cure for this plague. That's why I think it's necessary to consider other options, including treatment for this plague. Pride is the least of my concerns in this situation.
— But our other plans have far more "buts" than simply following the Mist's instructions, — Rainhild objected. She understood perfectly that in this situation, Aldric was taking a much greater risk. If she had a chance to survive the journey to Tangion, due to her naturally strong immunity, the Jagendorf native could not boast anything similar.

The fact that we will live is very likely. But I wrote about the powder right away; they are unlikely to just give it to us like that. I mentioned it earlier. It seemed to me that we wanted to make the deception plan simply because it was the third option, even if it was doomed to fail.

Which weather do you prefer, foggy or sunny?

That's right. In that case, we could have just stopped the game - just imagine in our heads that the attempt failed and everyone died. Especially since Arandor wants to see Halmedir, and that wouldn't be possible otherwise.

Bloody.

That's exactly it. In that case, you could have just stopped the game – just imagine in your head that the attempt failed and everyone died. Especially since Arandor wants to see Halmedir, and it won't be possible otherwise.

Well, I was planning to write a new character in case of failure. However, I'm also ready to help the fog dwellers. In that case, I won't even have to create new characters, since Revan will speed up the departure. The only question is whether the others are ready.

Well, considering that there must be a way to heal (it's clear why), it's most likely that it will become available after helping the Mist, so my vote is obvious. All other options are possible, but less likely. I doubt that the fake Sharon knows anything at all; she's probably just a pawn who has to play a role, and other people will be advising him. He probably doesn't even know about the cure, where to get it, and so on. And if we return to the lair, we'll probably find nothing again, or maybe even people.
