In a campaign I'm running(Shackled City, converted to PF), one of the npcs aided a group of muggers(or at least what amounted to muggers) in assaulting a young paladin in training.. The PCs managed to catch the thugs without killign them, as well as reform them and get them jobs at the temple.. The NPC that helped them thinks they succeeded, and that the Paladin in training was likely found by a group of guards, battered and nearly dead and carrying a warning for the temple not to interfere with the recent kidnappings..
Would having him saw "I doubt the temple will offer much aid Grandmother*, after what happened to poor Keith**" be too obvious of a reveal that he's involved somehow?
(I'm tempted to just say "The locks!, Look at the fricking Locks!" a this point, as the players have gone off in several different directions, including one who thinks the riddle that's supposed to lead them through the first adventure meant Lochs, such as the one in the center of town, instead of Locks, as in, the things on doors.. which is sort of weird, given that this is play-by-post, so he could see that I spelled it "locks")
*he calls the old woman who raised him and runs the orphanage he works at(which was also the most recent site of the kidnappings) "grandmother"
**Keith is what I decided to name the young priest who was attacked.
