Not suspicious at all.
Our Baron accepts the deal, only to discover that you shouldnt take sweet treats from strangers.
An understandably traumatic experience, but it expands a cool faction, so overall a net positive.

Ive yet to try Songs Of Conquest, but I hope the above headline image depicts that fateful encounter.
Only because the thought of a ghost rat duping a Baron is a funny one.
And Id quite like to watch how that goes down.

The game was already quite good to begin with according to SinsSongs Of Conquest review.
For now, you could grab Songs Of Conquest onSteam,The Epic Games Store, andGOG.
