Message: <blockquote data-quote="Van Dyksun" data-source="post: 65103" data-attributes="member: 1761">There's a difference between an orc and a bugbear that had been welcomed into civilized society, Bronn.  I'm not surprised that you can't see that distinction; your eyes are often blinded by your personal interests.  Selune teaches us to be merciful because just as the moon waxes and wanes, so do our fortunes, and while we may be victors in one battle, in the next we may be defeated.  I treated the Scarlet Flame as I would have wish to be treated by them had they defeated me in battle.Regarding Flamecoil and these bones before us, I've said what I've said.  The bones will be returned.  As for what you have to say about the lich and his past, I can't make any comment--you're older than me and may have actually known someone who was there.  It's been my experience, however, that commonplace legends often have more complications than current folk admit to, and that every story often has several tellings.  You seem to think that any dwarf is a good dwarf, but just as the elves have drow and humans have Zhentarim, it may be that the clan Darkfell wasn't entirely engaging in the best interests of all.  Let us compare ourselves to the Scarlet Flame--had we been first, would we not have also staged a surprise for them had they been following us.  Would that have made us evil?We found Shieldcoil's bones with these two dwarves, but was she engaged in battle against them or was she standing in battle with them?  Even if it looks like they killed the other, it may have been to prevent a worse fate.  I prefer to trust my own experience with people than to trust the bards, who often have their own melody that they are adding to the song.Damn, I'm getting as long-winded as the two of you, and there's no ale handy, too.I'm glad we've agreed to pursue the crown now.  Can we get some sleep, too.  Those damn statues of your ancestors put a kink in my neck and I was hoping a good night's rest would put it right.By the way, where did that holy symbol come from, Velm?  I didn't know you were religious...</blockquote>
