For those low caste modrons, they won't relent, they won't hesitate or question, they won't be bribed or distracted - they just have orders to destroy the town. There is no malice as well as no sympathy. Just the orders. If they are ordered to destroy a town, none of them will turn back until every single wooden plank in that town is shattered and there is nothing but a barren field. The only way to stop a lower caste modron army in that situation is to kill every single one of them (or deal with their bureaucracy in getting the orders rescinded, but good luck with that).  That's very frightening in a borg/replicator sort of way (admittedly, both of those are sci fi concepts, so I can understand with thinking they don't fit in a fantasy setting for that reason even if I disagree).Heck, that's all it took to have them pretty much cut from 3e despite fan interest!</blockquote>
