Calishites= natives of Calimshan, a southerly kingdom of Faerun. Calinshan is known as a major center of the slave trade.

Also famous for deserts, corruption, evil Viziers, luxury, and not-being-an-Arabian-Nights-ripoff-at-all.

And so Ino caves and frames Rardi for the entire affair, as they have been trying to do from the start...

You have to wonder why they are focussing on Rardi. I mean she's a priestess of Lathander, who is into life, renewal, and blasting undead. Its hard to see why they are so hostile. I mean, usually its only Necromancers or cultists of evil deities that hate Lathander and his priests...

And it is, of course, impossible that the Bailiff of the island Delthrin the Deadmaster lived on is a necromancer's ally, right?

I hope Threan is happy with his new friends...

Oh come on Ino didn't frame Rardi, the facts were exact. That has happened. What else could I say? I tried to save her and lost spells on the procedure! I could have just said yes from the beginning but didn't.

They are focusing on Rardi because Threen told them that Rardi was the one who have hit Delthrin and didn't care if he died...(very well played, nothing to say about that was exactly what a Lathander priest would do).
Ino was a little more sensible and had also second thoughts about giving Delthrin to the illithid.

And why deny, these people were living with Delthrin for years and someone (don't remember who) has told us that he had helped with the fire, gave money to orphans and have never witnessed him doing something wrong. So when he died they wanted to blame someone for the murder and Rardi was the only one they could get, easiest pray.

I don't say that Delthrin was innocent, for heck no! I just try to understand why the guards are like this. But I see your point and yes they are a bit too keen to accuse her and close the case.

We will learn soon I suppose

I'm not convinced. They are going all out for Rardi: not just the Delthrin thing, but the death of the headhunter "suspect" too. Any suggestion that she wasn't the ringleader led to outright violence or threats.

Well, that's easy. The guards are like this because they are evil minions of a necromancer, who hate anything good or pure and especially loathe Lathander. Actually, to be fair, the Bailiff fits that description, many of the guards are probably just whipped up by him. Although frankly, anyone actually personally angry at the death of a fiend-invoking necromancer is going to have to do some very fast talking to get into the Seven Heavens, and persecuting his vanquishers is a pretty evil act.

Betraying them into persecution, too.

I'm loving this.

Ewan, two notes: 1) Please make a Sense Motive check for Blaise. I'd roll, but IMO that should be a DM secret roll. 2) Blaise's see the unseen power is active for 24 hours, so it should be still be going until about sunset.

Roger that.

Using Sense Motive on WC Rask?

If so, results are; He seems genuinely relieved to find you alive and well. He also seems worried about the outcome of this whole affair.

I have edited Rardi's scene to clarify: questioning is preceded by a spell and the signing of a short paper.

I rolled a spellcraft for ya, Tarlyn: spell is just discern lies.
The paper looks legit.

If Rardi resists or changes her mind about signing, I'll edit the scene. I was under the impression that she has consented, having been the one who repeatedly demanded this.
