Kalar is annoyed that Lynda has given away that information, but lets it slide.
"Exactly as my colleague here says. Now tell me. Who comes off as the more credible source here, your ancient scrolls that have driven you to a life of theft out of desperation? Or us, the well-off and non-thieving individuals who know the specifics of how to break the curse, who caused the curse, and who's death triggered the curse?"
Kalar changes track with his arguments.
"Or perhaps is it that you see a werewolf? And that is immediately an abomination against nature? You yourself said that magic is considered evil here. Are you then, the only ones virtuous enough to dip into darkness for the greater good? At least I have never stolen from anyone on the road."
Kalar gestures towards Tammytharn. "As you know, my colleague here has cast a spell that makes it impossible to lie, therefore you know that I am telling the truth when I tell you that I did not choose to be this way. Before this, I was a devout man of the cloth, following the teachings of my deity to the best of my abilities."
Absolutely true, and in no way a lie, but Kalar leaves out exactly who his deity is.
"Further, I am doing all I can to rid myself of this curse, as I would much rather be able to fulfill my role as a healer instead of being a savage beast."
Also true, though perhaps not the entire truth.
"And yes, I was a healer before this. I remind you, that I cannot lie because of the spell my comrade has cast. I was indeed a healer, and a medic, and I used my powers to aid my comrades and tend to their wounds."
"So tell me. Highwaymen who use evil magic and are clueless about the curse? Or afflicted man of the cloth and divine healer who is actively fighting both curses with the knowledge needed to effectively fight both?"
