It is my personal opinion madame that such a world view is the cause of a great many problems. The ends do not justify the means. One's standard of morality and honor should be anchor upon which their life rests. To associate with evil with such depth should only be done when absolutely no alternative exists. To do so simply out of convenience is compromise.

There is always an alternative to associating with evil, that is to NEVER associate with evil. IT would be more preferable to die than to associate with evil!

Generally you are right, Lord Eldred, but if there is no other possibility, you might need to cooperate with one lesser evil to destroy the greater one. As I know there is even an evil part in the church of Healyn. What do you do with them? In my religion it is normal to try to convert an evil worshipper to good and not destroying him, if possible...

Well, I would be very sad about it, but stay a little, maybe he reappears...

[marcum uth mather]

my lady i only wish to start a adventure. for w while there a stranger was over by the shadows speaking of a mission, but it fell through. then the goblin has took leave of us for a time. I am down hear in the flat lands to find a cure for my doom and adventure. i hope to someday return to Helscapa as a king. there is civil war there and i need to make a name for myself before i can return. but all i find hear is talk. could not someone bring me to to aventure i seek?

[Ariadne]

There is always a way to find an adventure. Mostly you get more of this as you want! Sometimes you only need to cross a street and meet someone...

There is a civil war in the north? Tell me more of it...

[marcum uth mather]

o my lady it is a dismell think indeed. the king of Halskapab had died and left no heir. the jarels are in a uproar to find a rightfull ruler. anyone with a few men has taken claim to the throne. i myself am a vetren of the fighting
@sitting down, and grabing a tankered from a passing serving girl@
many a brave man has spilled his blood on the hills up there. the great wolf guard hold the capitol, and some sorrunding towns but nothing else. there are a small tribe of giants holding the border against the siern, but they take no part in the political fighting.

[Ariadne]

I see. And why are you here, don't you support one of the jarls?

[marcum uth mather]

i am one of the jarels, but my doom is every time the throne was in danger i would turn into a dire bear and rampage agenst the enemy. my people are a superstisious lot so i have traveled south to make a name for myself and recruit some men

[Ariadne]

I see. So you must first get rid of your problem, than claim the throne...
