Pillars of Eternity 1, Part 44: Concelhaut and Llengrath

Otter Memes: https://phys.org/news/2023-08-memes-animal-resistance-shouldnt-rebellious.html

If you actually go read the article, it's a bit weirder than I thought. This session is bookended by wizards. One is evil... one is maybe evil, but the game does a weird job of explaining it. Concelhaut is easily a wizard we should stomp out of existence.

The swamp is a pretty easy area, and I'm still not sure I did the right thing with Llengrath. I think that it was fine to let her and the dragons go, since we all just wanted Concelhaut to stop being a dick. The sidequest here (free the guy from the trap) feels like another easy answer. Obviously, we don't let ghosts magically overwrite his personality, no matter how big of a jerk he might be. I wish we could ask him what he wants -- maybe he wants to be a better person but just can't be. Still, we can't, so we're not going to overwrite that personality.
