[QUOTE="The Grassy Gnoll, post: 6715439, member: 6788652"] He and his fellows followed the path of mercy, believing that repentance would inspire the criminals and ne'er do wells that crossed their paths. Including some derro that they encountered. But the derro are crazed, and have no concept of repentance. In letting them go, all the order did was bring the derro and their drow masters back to the place, where they murdered, mutilated and kidnapped all the inhabitants. He saw his fellows die, but they fought well and eventually captured the drow leader who appealed for mercy. The Knights fellows, sore at heart, we're going to deny this to him but the knight interceded, saying mercy was the quality that showed the difference between good and evil, and on so doing convinced his fellows to not kill the drow. The drow then plunged the keep into magical darkness and the derro squadron descended and hacked them all to pieces apart from the knight who was captured and taken to the underdark. As a vicious mockery of his previous status as a justice, they made him preside over plea after plea, where they showed him that his mercy only resulted in worse happenings, more barbarity. Eventually he broke and sentenced every accused to death. This he did for a year and a day at which point, throughly distraught and lost to he tenets of his old order, they sent him topside to act as an agent for their slavery. They needed daylight eyes and his, dried of tears after so much forlorn despair, were perfect. [/QUOTE]
