The priest nods.
Don't worry.
he turns to jack.
Say a prayer for me Jack.
He grins and then hobbles off.
The priest wouldn't be able to deduce that the bartender was lying just like that Jack. Where do you think taverns get their food? They don't grow it themselves they need to occasionally go out, and restock the supplies.
I personally enjoyed how the priest shot the pursuer in the face, without knowing all the details. Could have been a good guy.
And now that I think about it a bit more, even if the tavern was full and didn't need restocking that still wouldn't be proof he is lying about getting food. The man could have been going to get some sweets from a candy store, or to eat at a restaurant. Or maybe he was running low on food in his own home and wanted to restock there. And the fact that the priest didn't even hesitate on attacking him is also bullcrap. I mean hell, even if he WAS lying about getting food that does not mean he's a killer. Maybe he was going to a brothel and didn't want to admit it.
Ok fine. Let me change that.
