Up until last week, Bart has played along and been interested in the Primate thing. He even decided to come along to Lycea despite the fact that he had just started a war for the Otters to deal with. This, to me, would indicate having the Primate mystery as a main priority.
However, when one looks back at how you have RPed Bart, he has definitely put the Otters first and only helped with the Primate thing when it was convenient.
So the question is, why did Bart come to Lycea if the Otters are his true focus? Perhaps he was just interested in a quick resolution in order to get some credit? I thought he was interested in investigating El Recluso too...
I will be interested to see how you RP this out and explain why all of a sudden Bart doesn't care about the Primate thing anymore. He also really doesn't seem to care about the capture of the leader of the Otters. Those same people who kidnapped you might be the ones who kidnapped the former leader of the Otters. Weren't you also interested in finding out more about El Recluso while in Lycea? Wouldn't it be important to make some use of the trip and hopefully find out some information that might help you in the war?
I think that, more than our last campaign, this is really a big picture, politics and mystery sort of game (which I am totally loving!). All I hope is that you take that into consideration when Bart makes his decisions...
A side thought--maybe it would be interesting to have a priority on goals that acts as some sort of bonus when you are cashing things in (higher priority items = more points)? I think perhaps some of this confusion between GM and player might have been reduced if Chubling had to prioritize Bart's goals so the GM would have some idea of where the character was going. It would also help the player make better decisions for their character since they will sorta have been forced to list rank their goals.
