It is always possible to make any action irrational or insensible if you just impose the wrong valueset onto it.Given what you see from Luke, how high do you think he valued his life in no man's land? How would you evaluate his belief in this wizard given the presence of stories about magic claimed to actually be true he grew up with? Do you get the sense that he is instilled with some sense of deep loyalty to the empire and their customs? Might there even be some buried memories from his earliest days somehow influencing some value judgments here? This is all without even drawing in force influence.Indeed I think in light of this, throwing away your chance of getting out of your current hell hole by turning it in to the local imperial magistrate sound highly insensible.But I am not interested in analysing every event in any major piece of work in this maner. And absolutely not in the context of a forum thread mostly about completely unrelated matters.</blockquote>
