[QUOTE="WalterKovacs, post: 4692139, member: 63763"] One note ... V is [i]not[/i] good. Thus, it is perfectly possible for V to commit evil acts. Heck, Belkar is admitedly evil. The OOTS party aren't inherently good. They exist in a world where they had a paladin as one of their antogonists, showing the evil Belkar to be "better" than the lawful good Miko. V's attitude towards killing the black dragon was exactly the same attitude he had towards killing Kubota. It's in my way, let's do this as quickly as possible, damn the consequences. V could hardly be concerned about the allignment of those he kills. It isn't so much that the dragon isn't evil (the extent to which the black dragon is willing to go for revenge is the way an evil creature would approach revenge. Heck, revenge instead of justice is an evil idea). The dragon is obviously evil. However V is good only in as much as, being a member of the Order, his enemies are traditionally evil, and he's assisting them in a "big picture" good duty of keeping the universe from being destroyed. However V is just as likely as Belkar to destroy anything in his path regardless of allignment, it's just that Belkar revels in the destruction, while V is just looking for XP, and annoyed by the obstacles in his way. Disintegration, versus other ways to kill things, prevents the chance of most raise spells. It was, in part, because of using disintegration that V got on the black dragon's radar. Killing the dragon would have been fine. Killing the dragon, and making it nigh-impossible to be raised encounraged the parent to react with an even more extreme revenge. [/QUOTE]
