Pean inclines his head in agreement. "If he were being controlled. I
think that is the nub of the argument. If I thought he was being
controlled by the Horror below, then I would be all for destroying it
to release Todiel, and would do all I can to free him from his
entrapment.
I do not believe he is being controlled, however, I believe, by his
actions he has shown he acts this way out of his free will. Perhaps,
as Garrot rightly says, it is his way, that it is how his race
survives. Tough. The Gnashers, before, survived through their
voracious appetites. Scorcher bands through pillage and murder. Do we
show them any mercy? Just because it is his way does not make it
right. Temorya did not volunteer himself to be swapped, so in effect
Todiel traded his death for Temorya's, and did nothing to reverse the
process. That is attempted murder in my eyes. I have no problem with
dispatching it if no one else wishes to. It. I say it again. We must
not anthropomorphise Todiel. Do not forget that we do not know how
many bodies it has swapped to continue its life.
I must remind you all, again, that we have no idea of its powers.
Before, it had no reason to reveal the extent of its abilities. Now,
it has no reason to hold them back. And we *still* remain in the top
chamber of a Horror controlled Kaer, to whom our presence we have
announced with the dispatching of its border guards. We have no time
to waste in a discussion of moral relativism."
OOC: yeah, he might be a bit far right.. :-)
OOC(2): Happy Birthday Mark! Hope its a good one!
OOC(3): This is so cool! So many parties would be "we kill it. Lets
move on."
