Anyway, on the way out I'm confronted by someone who ultimately identifies himself as Jenks who wants me to assassinate the King of Caladon because of them wanting to join the UK. I took that, as the argument sounds convincing ...

I'm stymied - on the one hand, assassination is not a good thing. On the other, it seems to make sense that the union will lead to war, that the mages in Caladon will suffer, and that in general the only ones to benefit are the gov't officials involved in the union.

So my (me, actual person) take is that my character *should* do the assassination, as it is in the interest of the 'greater good' ... but is that how the game sees things? Anyone know?

Thanks,

Mike

The assassination is a real quest. Its ok to do an occassional evil quest just pay attention to your alignment meter. I actually use the Helm of the Damned to pump up the magic/tech meter to 100% magic after applyiing 5 points to repair. This helm trades 20 points of positive alginment for 20 positive points on the magic/tech meter. This helm is available from outlying shops and from the bottom of the Ashbury Haunted Castle.
