Subterfuge. It means to act with a deceptive stratagy in order to conceal, escape, or evade detection from ones enemies. A spy or double-agent often engages in subterfuge. Often it is done with the ultimate purpose of attacking or destroying one's enemy in secret or from the inside out. Hardly, a noble course of action for a man of honor such as myself.

I see...

...and of course I've heard of this strategy (we name this different in our language). The church of Khirdai doesn't think good of it, too, but if it is the only way to destroy an hated enemy, we use this too, I fear...

[Lawgiver]

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.

[Sellenus]

Agreed. There is Honor , Truth and most importantly Pride. To compromise ones values leads only to shame.

[marcum uth mather]

Bah I say. In the Highlands it sometimes passes you must share a winter hearth with a hated foe. Also sometimes you must follow a hated cheif untill the time is right to callenge and kill him! We sould follow us the beast untill it is glemed right to make an end of him.

[marcum uth mather]

Besides were is the red bugger! I have not heard his hiss in a while.

[Ariadne]

My first goal is to destroy evil of any kind. I prefer to take the direct way to achieve this, but I don't frighten away from using whatever I need to do...

In Khinasi honor is an important word and I respect it. There are limits of anything including ways of achievement, but sometimes you must know, what you want: Destroying the evil or not!
