Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gurdjieff" data-source="post: 1116670" data-attributes="member: 2264">I am not trying to hide me behind my Code. I am saying I am following it. The way you talk and the way your heart is do not match. You spreak of honor, of loyalty, which Evil can indeed know. But as you should be aware of, which I even think you are intelligent enough for to know, it has little to do with being Evil.You speak of your hatred versus the Red Wizards, which I can totally understand. Again, if your heart wasn't as blackened as it is, I would have travelled with you without any problems. But I know more. Hatred does not force an Evil heart. If you truly are as you say who you are, if you do not intend to hurt villagers, to stick through thick and thin, to help others when able, only to get revenge on the Red Wizards, well, in that case my Magic wouldn't have showed you as Evil. I cannot go against the Code, even if I wanted to. My options are limited, and I do not blindly do what the code says, but I am aware of it's goals. Do not take me for dumb, Thebis, for I am not. I may not be the smartest on the block, but I am not stupid. I do not jump off a cliff if someone tells me to. I do have a brain, and I do use it. You are saying I am trying to cause vigiliante, that I am calling you a liar, that I am discriminating you for who you are. I do not intent to disciminate you for who you may be, but what your heart tells me. Hearts cannot lie, yet people can. Again, I am not saying you are at this moment, because I do not know you that well. If your heart wasn't blackened, and yes I repeat this again, I might have gotten to know you better, and even help you in your battle against the Evil Red Wizards. But it is not so! And there is where my Paladinhood is in it's most weakened form. Yes, I feel sorry for you after hearing your story, but I cannot help you, not without the approval of Hyrag. You may doubt my Code. You may doubt my intentions, you may doubt me. I may have judged prematurely, and may have offended you in many ways. If so, I appologize. No, I do not intend to spread lies about you in any way. But I do have a Code to follow. And that Code does not allow me to travel with people who are, for what reason whatsoever, Evil. And you Thebis, ARE Evil. I cannot help you from there, but you can. Wind has shown me my error, for I shouldn't be fireing words at you like this. I judged too early. Again, I am sorry for that. But he also says exactly what I cannot do. I cannot show you the path to the life of Good, not before you clearly show you intend to change. Evil can be driven out of one, but it cannot be forced. Forcing Evil to leave will only make it stronger. I am, once again, to give you, and the party, and Eldendrel. I am keeping myself to the Code, even if you think the way it works is dumb. Now, the choice is first in your hands. If you are willing to change, and leave the path of Evil, I can show you the way of Good. If you do not wish to make this change, if you do not see the need to change for me, for yourself or for anyone, one of us shall have to go. And that will be up to you, Sebastian, Iggy, Llolian, Sara and Wind with of course Elendrel as our employer. Rogier awaits Thebis-Ra's answer, and hopes his first actions haven't been too offensive for Thebis to be shown the path to Good.</blockquote>
