"Well, what are our options here really? We either accept her or kill her. If we accept her and it goes sour then we'll have to kill her. I guess it makes sense to give her a chance first as such a creature could be useful and would be quite challenging to battle. If we end up paying for damages she does presumably she has some wealth we can use. Did you see any indication her operation was profitable when you were in her lair?"

Tsadok smiles at his friends logic. "I could not have said it better - not everything is better off dead!" He looks squarely at Houwlou when he makes the latter remark.

Tsadok smiles at his friends logic. "I could not have said it better - not everything is better off dead!" He looks squarely at Houwlou when he makes the latter remark.
"I never said everything, just every enemy of our Lady Almah. Or, perhaps you would spare certain of her enemies? I'm sure that she would like to know which ones."

We both know we have no idea at this point if this creature will prove to be a friend or foe. She apparently does not view us as foes yet as she has not harmed us and to be honest she has given us some vital information. I would not go as far as to say she is our friend - she has no reason to call us that at this point, nor we her. But so far, I think this might be a mutually beneficial relationship. It could well turn out that I am wrong but I choose to believe creatures have the right to live and make what they can of those lives. I don't think we have the right to take that away from them for no reason other than Almah wants this land - in fact, our benefactor has said she may stay, I take that as she is not gun-Ho on killing for no reason either. We may disagree on many things, my friend but one thing is certain, the right to live well and honest should not be denied any creature."

"To live well, that I'll grant you. It's the 'honest' part where many of these dastardly souls fall woefully short. And I also believe that one can forfeit his right to life by continued acts of evil. And that, my friend, is where our thoughts on the subject part ways. You wish to give everyone the benefit of every doubt regardless of whether they have repeatedly demonstrated an evil nature by their acts and choice of associates. I prefer to open my eyes and see the evil in the world for what it is, and guard against it as best I can."
