[QUOTE="RealAlHazred, post: 6748706, member: 25818"] [b]Originally posted by Hellcow:[/b] To be clear, I'm suggesting that the Sharn EC cell are terrorists. I'm simply suggesting that those terrorists... - May be people Essar served with in the war. - May believe that Kaius betrayed his country by accepting the Treaty of Thronehold, and that their "terrorist" actions are for the greater good of Karrnath. - Tied to the above, may consider all Brelish to be enemy combatants, even though they are attacking a civilian population. - May believe that every action taken by the Queen of Death is in some way (which they don't understand, but it's not their place to) is advancing the quest to destroy the Sovereigns, eliminate death, and allow all mortals to become gods... whats the sacrifice of a few Sovereign-loving Brelish in the face of that? ... And most of all... - May be brainwashed, mystically influenced, or directly dominated by their undead commander, causing them to believe or do things they might not believe or do if the commander was eliminated. Thus, the point is that Essar would recognize some of the EC, be surprised they would believe these things, and potentially realize that by destroying the undead leader he may be able to redeem some of them. The EC [i]is [/i]a terrorist organization that frequently engages in horrific attacks against civilian populations. It's an organization whose actions are often horrifying to other Seekers. So I'm not suggesting that you have an EC cell whose members [i]aren't [/i]terrorists; I'm simply saying that they may have personal justifications for their actions... and that in line with the story Essar's player has created, they may be manipulated by corrupt undead.
