Golemancy would require many souls. Bad option for our ethics
We don't know that, or anything. For all we know, you can make golems from dirt and badger blood (although as dirt golems, they would be sucky...you get my point.)
Ignorance isn't bliss, it's annoying.
Alice seemed to know about it, and we've never talked with her about it.
Quote? I finished reading the story recently and don't remember that
"You asks Alice. She informs you that because of the spiritual consequences of soul collection she has not been stockpiling the things."
She could have been talking about being haunted by the souls, or some sort of "going-to-heaven-or-hell" spiritual consequences. We didn't ask for more detail.
Still, access to magic that can be used to discern the nature of the universe, (in particular the use of magic such as enchantment that gives insight into the nature of the mortal soul), leaves a little less up for debate in such areas, it allows one to apply scientific principles to metaphysics.
Do people have such magic? I don't think I've heard of it...
Like before, I said we should tell Foghorn that there is not need for a siege on Dawnmaiden and he can save his resources. We can tell him that we will speak with Vindel to stop chasing after that girl, especially with our communication bonus. Kill a mass of people over maintaining an enchanter and trying to get a tribute out of it will most likely come with a big cost; lives. We do not have enough resources, power, and skill at the moment to launch a siege on a full fledge city. Working for smaller easier goals is important before going for huge plots for power.
Edit: Also killing many people that have not done anything to us will give people the 'right' of go off and kill all the night trolls in to world like they did a few hundred years ago. We can't just become a monster just because people became monsters to kill all the night trolls in the world (night troll babies, children, physically or mentally impaired, or even trolls that were integrated with mortals).
Ask the Foghorn family if they know anything on the night troll genocide.
I don't think you mentioned this before, but it's a good point...we should give him the box first, to make him not think we're trying to weasel out of dangerous jobs because we're a bad minion or whatever.
