[QUOTE="BlackCat, post: 3070686, member: 38901"] I haven't been a part of the party long enough to have a great deal of history with Richard in order to agree with you on that one, GR or not. What I can say is that from my own character's perspective, it made no difference either way. Either he was telling the truth and we would be losing our friend to free a dark god or he was lying, and we'd lose Martin to Marcosias. Also, Richard was speaking against the word (albeit indirect) of a god. Being a man of faith, there was absolutely no way that Roland was going to stand by and see Martin be destroyed by acting against a deal mde with a god at Richard's word. Leave it to a mage to be so arrogant. This one, particularly. I loved this situation because (and this is where Roland's self-centeredness bleeds over) there were 2 priests of Bast on either side. Neither of which can support the cause of evil and maintain good enough standing with Bast to be able to enact miracles. Therefore, both sides were right in that there was a choice between the lesser of 2 evils. To Roland's mind, one involved a friend completing a quest given to him from a god and to Norena's, it was a noble sacrifice to prevent a dark god from being freed. It's all point of view and choice. Since both choices are bad, all that matters are personal preference. Sure, you can debate the likely outcome for forever and a day (not outside of the realm of possibilities for these guys) or you look at the immediate prices and make a stand. We chose to support Martin completing the quest as laid out by Osiris and drew the line in the sand. Now that's what burns my biscuits! [/QUOTE]
