Lae’zel tries to convince Kithrak to take us to the crèche. I cast friends to signal to Lae’zel to play along. It works, Kithrak leaves and Lae’zel get angry because of friends.
This sounds perfectly reasonable to me. O_o
You were trying to persuate Lae'zel, so she lie to Kithrak ... therefore she was your target. O_o
I understand that intellectually, but emotionally the threat in that scene, the one I’m using Friends to overcome, is Kithrak. Maybe I’m just salty because Lae’zel was angry that I saved her life.
I find mrfuji’s explanation most satisfying. Guards watching a conversation during which Friends is cast will come have a serious talk with you once concentration ends. It makes sense for other non-target NPCs to have a similar behavior.
