OOC Jacob and 103 come clean about their abilities
Jacob is a first level fighter w/martial arts and has no ability to fight in armor ac 8 7 HP
103 is a 3rd level Paladin but his stats are so low he has no effective attacks but retains his magic abilities(hav'nt decided on what that means)He fights through the dog, who is quite powerful, but only of average intelligence(for a dog)

"this seems like a bad idea, then there would be 2 of them out of control, now turning the witch table sounds good" says Jacob |

Crondel stares ahead, then speaks. "We need to imitate their use of the mob, then, without creating a competing mob. We send in one man undercover as planned, then he learns who the leader is and lets us know in secret. The townsfolk then are prepared—once our man calls out the leader of the zealots as a witch, the regular folk are prepared to support him. They saw him doing witchcraft and so on, but were afraid to speak up. Once his shout goes out and the townsfolk support him, the rank-and-file Zealots will be disoriented. They want to support their leader but cannot let go of their idea of burning witches. Once we use this to extract a public confession from the leaders, their power will be broken."
Crondel pauses. "Or that is one thought, at least."

"Only the middle class would be behind this" Plus there are rumers that the upper command of the Zealoots are witches, It's an old idea" says 103

Jacob chimes in " I think there is something to this. A lot of the Zealots would be explained if they were witches or cultists. |

Jacob chimes in again" They have a very large bunch of heavy drinking and drug use, in rituals and parties but they have no explanation for this"

"A message in the bread, then. To cause confusion. Or a face baked into the bread. First cut into the dough, then covered with another bit of dough. If cut right by our inside man, the face will be revealed."

(OOC) I really don't understand what your trying to say, I am confused with what your trying to do. My fault, sorry. Let me try again. Crondel sees the looks of incomprehension and tries again. "So, if we had an inside man, we could make the appearance of witchcraft at their event. The more sincere believers might become frightened or enraged and turn on their leaders. If we cannot drug them, then we can use a theatrical trick: Anna can help with the details. But if one prepared a loaf of brea properly before baking, cutting into it might reveal a kind of face on the inside. If our man could see to it that this was revealed at the right moment, it might cast suspicion on the whole enterprise." |

103 says "the zealots are true radicals devoted to their cause" "the rank and file members are all fanatics, it'll take more than that to influence them"

I go out and observe the zealots stealthfully to get there pattern our daily habits. I also want to buy a club to sap and rope to bind when the time comes. looking for habits, places, weaknesses even bio functions we all do.

The Zealots are VERY secretive about their cult. They do not share their secrets easily. There does seem to be something about them being witches as they offer little to no info about the beliefs of the cult.For such a large group they hide very well.
