"Go on boy, RUN, RUN away from him.  Ohhhh the disappointment on everyone's faces.  Johhhn, the mighty Paladin is not a bastion of reason, or of Justice, but a fool."  As Helmut approached and started speaking to John, he began drifting away, nodding at regular intervals with his head bowed, the voice cackling in his head was getting louder."-any longer than we must.”; Helmut finished his sentence as John looked up.  Though he had not been able to take in everything the warrior had said, John had absorbed enough to know that Helmut's criticism was no different to the self-criticism he had given himself only moments before.  He raised his eyes up to meet the gaze of the stern warrior.  "Oh, what are you going to do nooow Johnny boy?  apologise?  You ARE a weak minded fool"; Johnny answered back to the voice for the first time, he was calm and direct with it "Then at least I'll be a weak minded fool who looks out for others and is capable of admitting when I'm wrong".  The voice stopped.  Silence echoed in his mind."I'm, sorry Helmut"; he shifted his weight at he looked around himself for danger, before meeting the mans gaze again. "I do not wish to bring chaos to you all.  I am new to this, being a Paladin; and, I do not entirely understand what it is my god requires of me.  If I choose inaction over caution, I could fail to uphold aspects of the code.  My teacher would have, taught me further but my training was-" He pauses for a moment, gazing now past Helmut as the memories of Varkas death sailed into his mind.  He could see it now.  John was chained up on one side of the old dungeon, his master on the other, stripped down naked.  The cleric of Luz, a black haired woman dressed in white and red robes was cackling in front of him.  Slowly, over the course of days, her dress became more and more red with the blood of John's teacher until there was no white left.  In that time, she had skinned him alive, healing him just enough here and there and wearing his skin like the fur of a fox.  He couldn't save him... John did the best to hide the pain he was feeling before finishing his sentence [roll0], "-cut short".He stopped talking, indicating to Helmut he was ready again to follow.  "I will leave things to party discussion from here on, by getting allies killed, I might be committing an evil of my own.  I do not wish for that."  He paused as a thought arose in his head, a phrase from his intended oath flowed into his mind "I choose to fight the greater evil"... "The evil within" He whispered in his mind.</blockquote>
