Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar

[Ruck]

We don't know - it's been theorized on the forum that it's something relatively minor that Malack did, since Nale is synonymous with taking disproportionate revenge for quasi-imagined slights.

Makes sense, and I think it's one of those things that's better we don't know. Nale is very much the Iago of this story; hating just to hate, with every slight real or imagined a flimsy pretext for doing so.

I never before noticed that Belkar suggests Miko take a bath when they first arrive at the hotel. He must have been planning on a "Haley special" with his good friend Roland Itiative while Miko was without all her magical items and weapons/armor.

It does raise the interesting question of whether Belkar would have managed it before the rest of the Order was alerted...even without magical items I'm betting a Monk/Paladin would be pretty tough to take down quickly.

I lean towards the "she smells bad" theory because Belkar's goal was never to kill Miko; it was to get her to murder him and thus lose her paladin powers.
