Oh, you didn't fool him, he just wanted the Village to have some sway. If he'd known that the final outcome simply meant the Nexus becoming stronger, though, he never would have bothered. Still, it's too bad it failed. Yean just wouldn't take the deck without killing me, and when I tried to take it directly to the smith, he just attacked me. Then Tsyda got assassinated, so he got upset and decided to forget the whole thing. He never did stop updating the village as to what was going on though, though he never told -anyone- the full story (I'm kind of surprised he was the most well informed of that quest, but then, he went out of his way to be).
