Re: Near Al Menir
OOC Haveron is the thoughtful kind. Given a minute to consider all the details he might object to Gareth doing this. He doesn't understand what is going on here on the magical level. At the same time, he did notice their acquaintance was probably an evil man and quite possibly not human from his behavior. And Gareth of ALL people had reservations about giving this to the beggar. That's most definitely a red flag for Haveron.
I am approaching this as if he is not ready to step in and act before Gareth has already taken action, in the interest of moving the story along.
[Private to GM: If you think this is fair... Based on the short interaction, I think Haveron would be extremely concerned about what was going on. He has a low opinion of Gareth, but if the fire mage has reservations, then Haveron will have all kinds of red flags going off. In his eyes they could set something very evil in motion, the person they were taking the coin from smelled all kinds of evil. I think this is fair, but asking for a double check here.
Taking the above as an assumption, I wonder how Haveron would handle something like this. Gareth said he had to give the coin to a beggar. He obviously wants to follow the words of the (let's say) demon, but he's trying to limit the damage as much as possible. I think Haveron would follow suit in his own way.
IF this doesn't spoil one of your plot twists, and IF you feel it is appropriate, then I would like Haveron to do the following.
---> Haveron pulls Omar aside, and presses a silver into his hand. He directs Omar to find the beggar, discretely, and trade out the coin for the silver. Omar is not to touch it directly, and is to treat it like it is diseased in some way. Haveron will ask him to return it to Haveron so that it can be destroyed.
Please let me know discretely what you feel is appropriate. ]
