I think many of the recent posts have been a little off topic and, while that's ok, they've come off as more than a little hostile, which isn't so good. I want to thank those who've offered advice and assistance, as it's gone a long way towards making me think out the actions of my character and the possible consequences ofthose actions. That said, Game isn't for a few more days, and I think the situation could be looked at some more.I'd like to apologise for not making positions clear from the beginning. In the game we're playing, characters make statements like "That's evil." and "That's good" all the time, but they're speaking from their hearts, not of an abstract and quantifiable system of morality. Melissa thinks killing the Slavers is a good idea, but also thinks that it's Murder unless she kills them in self-defense. She's willing to do that, but her spouse, the Angel, isn't willing to unless it is truely the most goodly action they can come up with. So far, it still is, but I've realised I need to take care as to how the slaves escape the area, and need to make sure they're cared for once theyre out of my hands. This has become priority number 1, as if we can't bring the children to Grensha safely, freeing them is the same as killing them. For those who expressed consern for the morals of the Angel in question, I offer this bit of information that, at first, I hadn't thought to include because it's setting material and not directly related to the issue.Angels follow 2 of the 7 Gods. There are Angels who follow Alerum, the god of Justice and Good, and there are Angels who follow Nomos, god of Progress and Law. Some Angels are very Old Testiment and would kill you for transgressions, but they mostly follow Nomos. Alerum follows a more New Testiment set of values, and would see sinners firgiven and spared before putting them to the the sword. This isn't to say they're pacifists, for once an Angel of Alerum takes up the blade, it will not be lowered until justice is served. The Angel is question is of the Alerum persuasion, and is also only a Half-Angel, prone to human emotions and morality.Given all of that, I again want to thank the posters to this thread for widening my vision and reminding me of the consequences of my actions. I hope this thread can contnue to offer guidence and suggestions, and the results of the game, for good or ill, can be shared with the community.- Kemrain the Grateful.</blockquote>
