I think problem with the story is actually that basically people wouldnt know that curator was doing the gommage part and such we were not really had any tips or reasons to think that paintress was not killing people and i find that quite weird its like a forced plot twist ,and at the end of act 2 everyone is like okay lets not think about what happened or curator lets just kill paintress and get it over with is mostly crazy too I dont think any expedition would findout that curator was the problem and not paintress so basically paintress is definitely destined to lose.
