The notion that Anlaf is travelling with Mila to keep her safe, while all the while claiming his plan is something else entirely is very in character, and works fairly well. Anlaf views the Priesthood of Marfa as horribly naive... publicly. Internally, he can't help but like someone thats managed to devote themselves to goodness and purity in the world they live in. So he claims he's just travelling the same way as her, and thus is able to grump about freely without being embarrassed.<br/><br/>Exploring the Kingdom of Stone sounds like a good cover. It could be that he's planning to try and pan in the rivers flowing down from the mountain, and see if he can hit one carrying a fair amount of gold, or locate and exposed vein. Even though Anlaf likes the outside air, he's still a Dwarf at heart, and carries a pick and some panning equipment.<br/><br/>I don't really like the notion that Anlaf has some contracted benefit. It just wouldn't be his way. Mila is free to consider her healing as repayment for was he does... or just be annoyed that a Jerk Dwarf with a Giant, extremely loud Bird keeps yelling at her to do things.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>I had a lot of fun with a Lawful Stupid character once. He was an amnesiac who was acting like he though a Paladin 'should.' So he did a lot of the lawful stupid type things, until he got confronted with what had happened that caused him to lose his memories in the first place.
