In the Plains of Yl (IC)

[OMG PONIES]

Chas puzzles for a second before deciding that a simple cost-benefit analysis may prove most helpful in swaying Laraek's logical mind. He speaks quickly and matter-of-factly, hoping to convey the facts without emotion. "We can leave and collect our pay from the merchant. However, the man masquerading as the priest is a wanted criminal with a sizable bounty. We're already here, so the investment in...investigating would be minimal. If we're able to track down this criminal on our way back to the city, we can collect twice as much pay for our slightly escalated efforts. Poking through the priest's possessions might prove profitable."

Chas pauses for a moment, counting on his hands as he recounts the number of P words he has just used. He mumbles to himself for a moment, but then seems satisfied. "If we don't uncover any leads, we simply head back to the city. I can always research the case later, though it would help to investigate the scene."
