As Arin was laughing, safe in the dungeon, so was Aedric, though only in his mind.
Arin had laid out the whole plan while they were returning to Siterion, and they had engaged in a lot of mental exercise and brainstorming together.
They had considered and calculated every possible outcome, along with various internal and external factors. And this was, in their estimation, the best plan to incite a rebellion in the city.
With that plan in motion, Arin had also convinced Hailey and Paul why it was best to investigate Duran last.
He had argued that if Duran was left untouched for the moment, his very inaction would allow them to flush out all the other Enclave operatives in the city.
However, if Duran were captured first, it might not be possible to catch the rest of them.
However, they hadn't fully anticipated that innocent people would be caught in the crossfire, victims of the overzealous Holy Paladins.
