[QUOTE="Meloch the Pygmy, post: 1693522, member: 14538"] Meloch knew he was on the verge of being zorched by Vesta, but to his own considerable surprise found himself willing to risk death instead of killing the little Celtic girls. Even though they were pretty sure to be killed by the Romans anyway, for their blasphemy against Vesta and Roma. An irrational mess. The idea of using innocent girls as the front line of an attack was repugnant to Meloch, which was why he was willing to turn in the escaped slaves who were involved. Plus he doesn't think it would be a good thing for the Roman Empire to fall, all things considered. But it still left a rotten taste in his mouth, to have betrayed escaped slaves to crucifixion or worse. That guilt, and the guilt of the Celtic boy he killed by accident, were hanging on him. A single Fireball would of course have killed all the little girls in his area, and crippled Sycorax. It would also have destroyed his relationship with Cornelia, who couldn't countenance killing the girls, let alone torching them. So there Meloch was, caught on his guilt and his loyalty, with a handful of possibilities for knocking out the girls if he could stay alive long enough. And at the end of the day, they were innocent little girls. So he stuck out his chest, trilled a pygmy war cry, set the uber-goat on Sycorax, and boldly moshed with the charging Celtic girls until Cornelia showed up with the knockout spell. At which point he joined the charge to save Talat, and inadvertantly helped trigger an orgy in the Metellus family villa. Curse the GM for putting the players in such rat-bastardly dilemmas...
