[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7814425, member: 4937"] Wait, what? He's in clear violation of at least two tenants of the Oath. In fact, this scenario seems to be tailor designed to trial one of axioms of the oath in a literal fashion. "Where there is good, beauty, love, and laughter in the world, stand against the wickedness that would swallow it. Where life flourishes, stand against the forces that would render it barren." He literally stood aside and allowed someone to be literally swallowed. If you boil down the "Oath of the Ancients" oath it is all about being a beacon of Hope: "kindle the light of hope in the world, beating back despair.", "stand against the wickedness that would swallow it", "Be a glorious beacon for all who live in despair.", "Let the light of your...courage shine forth in all your deeds." This is a story of a "Oath of the Ancients" Paladin that has given in to despair and hopelessness, and cowardly stood aside to let another human being be literally swallowed, by his own admission to save his own skin, and you don't think he actually violated this oath????
