[QUOTE="arkwright, post: 8079625, member: 6925177"] What makes you say Nic would refuse to listen? What about the needlewire parley in Book 10? He's willing to chat and listen to what they have to say, though he isn't feeling very compromising. [SPOILER="Needlewire Parley"]No More Use Pretending Nicodemus is courteous, but is subtly more on edge than the last time the party met him. He laments the death of his agents and his own inability to protect them. And he asks the party how they managed to sabotage the ritual. The mastermind, who has had to deal with the party’s interference for two years now, assumes they were responsible for the explosion that killed him and many of his allies. Divinations performed to find out what happened reported that the saboteur’s orders came from Risur (technically true, since the Voice of Rot is from Risur). If the party denies their involvement, he’s wary, assuming they have some trick up their sleeves. He assures them that if they’d only cooperated with him, the ritual would have been safely completed. The world would still have a sun, for one thing! He promises that the Obscurati will try again, and this time they won’t allow any resistance. Even after five hundred years, he had still hoped a gentle hand could guide people to the right path, but now he will have to take more forceful measures. Fortunately, Risur is the only nation holding out against him. He is proud to announce that leaders of many nations are en route to attend his Forward Symposium, where he will advise them to rally against the rebellious Risur. Perhaps the ensuing war, while tragic, will help cement the bonds forming now between the obedient nations of the world. After a bit of back and forth, Nicodemus thanks the PCs for dealing with the threat of She Who Writhes, informing them that it will be much easier to conquer Risur now. Once the conversation reaches a natural close, Nicodemus asks the party to make sure this woman survives, and then he vacates her body. If the party brings her back to the cars, Pemberton has her sent away with his gnoll minions to be kept prisoner in the fortress. Then, unless the party pays close attention, he just kills her when they’re not looking.[/SPOILER] He is less eager to listen to reason after the emergence of the hivemind, but that is because the AP is trying to hurry him along to total villainhood.
