Also, they are killing animals, just scavenger animals, which totally doesn't make them not okay. AB didn't say they weren't killing them, it was that they weren't killing "Okay" ones. Nahn is a part of nature, so he sees killing as only ever acceptable in complete self-defence, or for food. Other than that, he equates it the same as killing an innocent human being. While Ni attacked a city, that already had took over the lands of nature, so Ni wasn't actively killing direct parts of nature (Other than plants), so it wasn't as bad in Nahn's eyes. Killing animals is that bad. We don't need to get along, but outright slaughtering of animals won't be taken lightly. Just a warning.

As someone who is a part of nature wouldn't life and death be a part of your outlook?
As even in death an animal/ plant is of use to the rest of nature, After all animals do kill each other over areas and females of the species so the other people killing the animals to protect their "Pack" is just as natural as an animal doing the same thing?

Humans after all are just animals who think themselves better than the rest of the natural fauna around them.

I personally view animal life equal to that as a human. So I agree with Tarrin in a real life sence. Killing is only acceptable if it preserves life. What is worse, killing one dire animal or letting it kill five?

So you know, the attack Ni and the others used was a decomposition spell not a death spell. He didn't kill things he just caused them to rot to the point they could no longer keep themselves alive. Take leporacy, an illness that litterally causes you to rot while you are still alive. I am just pointing this out because it is possible to be affected by that spell and live.

[edit]
I dont know about you guys but I'm not really sure what to do at this point. Rather I dont see a 'strong feeling' as enough motovation to investigate something. Ni just wouldn't care.

I interpreted the strong feeling into an image Erika saw in the staff. I mean, why would anyone answer the call of "strong feelings", especially if you're a champion, because any strong feeling could be a trap...and who's to say this one we felt wasn't?

Aerozord · 01-10-2007, 11:24 PM

well that is one. Why risk walking into a trap? But I do see your point

42PETUNIAS · 01-11-2007, 07:39 AM

wait, so what happened to

And I really wanted to leave it to just Erika, but I just couldn't see High Priest Kane sending Erika off to go dungeon spelunking without the company of his lovely amber-haired daughter.

The way I'll work it out is that they try to pass into an area or something where "only the champions may tread" or something absurd like that.

Besides, as far as Erika knows, she's the only person that has been summoned there. Seasoned adventurers like Lara Croft might not have a problem doing this kind of stuff solo but Erika would never bother with that unless maybe the Goddess Euraleen herself gave the commandment.

The God of Death didn't say anything about facing it alone. Marinan didn't say anything about facing it alone. Erika wouldn't dream of facing it alone. Hence the monk chick.

42PETUNIAS · 01-11-2007, 11:57 AM

fair nuff, just as long as marinan has the foresight to get rid of all non-champions.

Astral Harmony · 01-11-2007, 12:06 PM

If he doesn't, I'll send her home. ...Right after the two girls kick a lot of ass together.

Yeah, I'll definitely send Tiffania away soon. I'm starting to like her more than Erika. Almost everything she says makes me giggle inside.

42PETUNIAS · 01-11-2007, 01:40 PM

Maybe you should just kill her off in the fight?

Edit: So void can teleport?

Astral Harmony · 01-11-2007, 09:22 PM

And I think it's time for Marinan to tell us where to go next...or throw a big honkin' guardian at us. Whichever he prefers.
