I mean, it's a hard sell to make.
I agree that Redcloak seems the most reasonable out of the two, but he's also received some very clear and direct orders from the Dark One.
He's had no qualms about fooling Xykon, but I don't see him disobeying his god.
Maybe, but I honestly think that Thor would realize the inherent folly of trying to convince a cleric to directly oppose their own god.

It's more likely that given the lack of options Thor has of contacting the Dark One directly and that most gods probably aren't generally in the business of listening to any mortal that doesn't follow them directly, that Thor is going for the next best option: Having one of his clerics contact the Dark One's high cleric and essentially conducting the negotiations by proxy (and not necessarily the summoned kind). Because clerics aren't just followers of their god, they're representatives of their god in the mortal realm.
