Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 1967940" data-attributes="member: 2020">TO BUGBEAR AND OTHERS  OOC:    I'm going to sound like Serpenteye here, but wait, wait, wait ...  Eclavdra hasn't killed anyone yet.  She didn't kill any of the defenders at the doors on her first attack.  I deliberately broke off posting before any second attack occurred.  Eclavdra, seeing the modrons and others charging ... moves to kill them ... and ... freezes.  The Light within Eclavdra, the primordial compunction of the Light which says:  you will not kill innocent people and you will not kill children ... locks in mortal combat with Eclavdras' mad determination to get inside that hospital.    Caught in the conflict, unable to resolve it, unable to cope and deal with her new nature, Eclavdra is locked in a contradiction, and paralyzed.  She is still paralyzed when the modrons pile up on her, and bring her down.  Then, the shock - the internal war - resolves itself, because this attack occurred.  Eclavdras' power surges up, and knocks the modrons away, injuring them.  Eclavdra, in a fury, raises her arms to unleash a wave of destruction on those who would hinder her, and then the Lights' dictate hits her again, and this time she shrieks in pain and frustration and conflict, tears running down her face.  She shouts at the modrons and others:  WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?  I ONLY WISH TO HELP MY PEOPLE!  She once more raises her arms to blast these modrons and others blocking the way, and AGAIN the Light within her says NO, YOU WILL NOT KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE AND CHILDREN.  Eclavdra collapses in the street, tears running uncontrollably down her face, hugging herself, rocking herself, in both physical and psychological pain.  This time, when the attack comes against Eclavdra, she does not stop it.  This time, she does not resist as they pile onto her.  She has spells up that protect her from being killed by physical injury, but she does nothing as they chain her up.  So when King Rhynnon does come down, and when he faces her, and slaps her across the face, none of his own people are dead.  Many are injured, some are wounded badly, but none are dead.  And Eclavdra is helpless, in chains and spell chains, before him.  And Eclavdra whispers, and whimpers:  I'm only here to help my people.  You must let me help my people.  They are lost to the Dark without me.  They are lost children without guidance.  Please.  Please!    Let me help them.</blockquote>
