[QUOTE="Rhialto, post: 2593248, member: 630"] The Deacon glances at his fellow from House Centaurus. [COLOR=Red]"Sammor, I consider caution admirable--in moderation. Too much caution can risk the loss of advantages gained, and may transform into delusion masquerading as wisdom. Lukar may not be the Kalur agent [i]in nomine[/i], but his actions indicate he is a Kalur agent [i]de facto[/i]. I suspect he and his 'Commitee for Dwarven Rights' have been suborned by that nation--it is the only explanation for his behavior. If we do as you suggest, and ignore this for now, we will be taken advantage of by a group of opportunists in the service of another nation, who will expect us to be acting as you suggest."[/COLOR]' He turns to Eimhim. [COLOR=Red]"And Quinn--the entire point of this is for Lukar to lose face. Right now this is not some calm act of compromise with his group--this is an act to yank the rug from under their feet. We want him to be broadly discredited. We want dwarfs to decide his orders are not to be followed. We want dwarfs to think that this rebellion was a bad idea--that the Commitee for Dwarven Rights has lead them down a dangerous path, and that we are willing to help them out. We are not trying to deal with Lukar--we are trying to destroy him."[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
