From The Journal of Jacob Cayle

So, I'm sitting in a jail cell with Tupper and that blasted gnome illusionist (I haven't let Tupper beat him, yet, because I don't want to piss off the monks, but it sure is tempting...)

Anyway, as soon as I saw the gnome, I realized that these monks we were fighting weren't the enemies we thought they were. I mean, we thought they were in league with the gnome, and here he was, imprisoned the same as we were. Which means they no doubt thought we were his allies and are fighting us on the assumption that we're part of the forces of evil that we thought they were part of. In other words, it was a complete misunderstanding. These Paladins seem to live by the philosophy "attack first, ask questions later" because I seem to have noticed this scenario happening a number of times. Ah well, hope they've learned their lesson this time.

So hopefully a guard will listen to calls for discussion, and we can end this battle before someone dies...
