Do not eat anything that grows there or drink any water you find unless you are certain your magicks can purify what you find," Rikiron replies to Locke. "There will be creatures you encounter that will not detect as evil but that are corrupted by the plane. It will be better to kill such creatures rather than leave them to suffer.""I cannot give you an answer as to how more powerful the creature will become if not killed in the present. Only the gods will be able to fathom how much more powerful this new fiend will become in the future."The inevitable turns to address Phar directly. "Fire can be used to purify anything you kill. This will keep the dead from rising as undead. Of course, using fire will be risky as it will attract the other denizens of the demiplane. And, the fire used must be either very hot or magical.""While I am not certain how they knew I was there, you are right, scaled knight. Either Eike knew that Maur sent me or the demons in its thrall spotted me." Rikiron muses for a few moments. "I am skilled in tracking not stealth. Perhaps I got too close.""I am uncertain what effect, if any, dismissal magic will have against Eike. Yes, He was born a mortal creature of this world of yours. But, It is not mortal any longer. If you successfully banish the creature, it might end up on the Plane of Graves, but it is just as likely that Eike will be sent to somewhere else this world." The inevitable pauses. "Or, if The Gloom is this new Eike's birthplace, then the magic will do nothing to it.""I understand your words and your motives, Maur Deepdelver, Champion of Moradin. I do not sense that you wish to trick me in any way, but you say 'for greater good'. I am an inevitable. I am not an angel. Good is your moral not mine." Rikiron turns towards The Gloom. "However, I do admit that I feel the urge to punish this creature for its crime."The inevitable looks back at Maur. "Its crime, to me, was it fleeing justice. Yes, it killed a man. But causing death is not always a crime unless the land's mortal law says it is a crime. In this case, Eike fled before justice could be determined. Yes, maybe that makes him guilty of the young one's death as well, but it was his unwillingness to face justice that concerns me. Evil. Good. That is not my morality. I am a creature of Law."The inevitable looks at the sky. "I wonder what Lord Moradin would say to both of us in this moment. He has sent me to you and I have served. Is that enough?" Rikiron shakes his head. "I cannot answer that question, and I do not think you can either. Do not forget that you chose me and not an angel or another being of good for your Calling.""Then, why not ask Moradin?" Cruel Justice suggests, loudly.Rikiron nods and looks at Maur. "What say you champion? Will you leave the choice up to your god? It should be a simple thing for you to commune with him, correct? Or do you need time? You will need to prepare before you enter the demiplane. And perhaps Lord Moradin can give you more knowledge about what the future might hold.The inevitable looks back towards the barrier. "I will abide by Lord Moradin's choice in this matter. If he leaves it up to you and I, then I will leave this plane and return home after I have escorted your beasts back to the druid. If Lord Moradin orders that my task is to be extended, then I will go with you into The Gloom to face its dangers and this Eike who has fled justice."</blockquote>
