[QUOTE="Pembinasa, post: 6557826, member: 6776473"] The young wizard shrugged. "That was the sense of your words as best I could tell; your metaphor seemed to indicate a frustrated would-be assailant, even if only in indirect terms. I suppose 'right' and 'wrong' depends on which came first, the attacking or the taunting..." Graydon shook his head, considering. "Surely there's more to such 'comparative fighting morality' than just not being the first to strike. "That said, I don't think he's too far off; the idea of 'don't trust in some other power to help, just pouch up and do it yourself' is one that I can find a lot of kinship with. Why grovel at a mighty being's knees when you can stand and look them in the eye? It's no difficulty in guessing which of the two is likely to manage to become a mighty being themselves, after all." He coughed, and hawked a glob of yellowish-black spittle off to the side. "You had the right idea, let's get to the bar; I need to wash my mouth clean." [ooc]Passive perception to notice the shenanigans of the rest of the party: I assume 13 easily covers it?[/ooc] Eeeexcept then he saw whatever floaty-pranks those Fae must be playing on their new golem, or extrusion or whatever else it might be described as- and if his experience with their type meant anything, this 'Rusty' might get broken before he had a chance to study it! Best if he headed over there. "Come now, come now you all; surely I'm not the only one who would like to get out of this foul air and into a place with drinks?" [/QUOTE]
