I've been instructed not to let the tyrant or his pet wizard know why I'm in their town. Which makes sense, even if it's fairly obvious and half the NPC's seem to guess, anyway. Everyone clamours to tell me that the wizard seems to know everything that's said about him, though whether this is because of scrying or just good paranoia is left ambiguous. Even the shaman lady also seems reluctant to discuss him, but she also implies that her lodge is protected and that we can talk about my mission.
So my question is- does it make a difference to the quest line who I tell about my mission? A couple of the NPC's seem like they'd be safer to confide in then others. Is this the case? Will the bad guys work it out out anyway, or are things more difficult if I go blabbing to every Tom, Dick and Harry about why I'm here?
