Oh, so the story wasn't the usual Our Party Of Adventurers vs Various Monsters but rather The Enemy Within. Interesting. So Paendrag maybe wasn't such a noob after all going after one of the adventurers? OTOH Paendrag seemed to know this was the setup. Hm, mustn't that mean he is the enemy within then? Should I risk a teeth (damage +2) attack on him now or use my ring of Fluff (charm +2) to get a group of fighters together against him later? Or maybe he knows this GM's style of play and anticipated this development in which case I should try to join his side? Perhaps best to lay low for the first rounds and see which way the wind will blow? Yes, I think I will do that.
