[DL] Texas Ranger vs a Blessed chaplain



Greetings all--

I have a bit of a problem. I have a group with a Texas Ranger in it, as well as a Blessed member of the Confederate Chaplain Corps. They are in the process of wrapping up the Worms! dime novel (I moved it from its original location into part of Confederate territory). The Chaplain has already indicated that he wants to tell the townspeople the Whole Truth about what happened, and try and use Tale Telling to reduce the fear level. The player of the Texas Ranger has asked me on the side if he would be expected by his superiors to prevent the Chaplain from telling the tale, up to and including "making him disappear". I personally think that the Rangers seem to be more... forgiving than that, and that since both groups probably work together on a semi regular basis, that this situation would be something that comes up fairly often. I would think that the Ranger may be expected to try and tell the Chaplain that it's a bad idea, or maybe scold the Chaplain after the fact for telling the true story, but that the Ranger wouldn't use any extreme methods to prevent the Chaplain from telling the tale. However, I would like some other opinions on this. Should the Texas Ranger policy of trying to prevent stories from getting out supercede the Chaplain who wants to do the Lord's work? Or would the Chaplain be expected to keep his mouth shut and let the Ranger lie to the townsfolk? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
