I believe the story truly does portray a fallacy, because there seems to have been many better options RC could have chosen than to follow the plan.

I don't think Red Cloak represents a philosophical concept, or at least not is a pure sense. He is a cleric of the Dark One, and is behaving like such a character should. He is distrustful of the other player's motives, as the DO is distrustful of the other gods, and neither feel any compunction to play nicely.
