Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gregor" data-source="post: 5534007" data-attributes="member: 11751">Torrent has been refilling water skins during the discussion with Tiljann, and is now sharpening her axe blade with a whetstone.  Having listened to the entire conversation, she now looks up and offers her opinion."I think you raise a good question Alric.  I think we should consider what side of the fence we're going to play on.  However, I don't know that I can render an opinion either way.  As you say, we were pretty much forced, under duress, to accept Indomitability's contract and boon.  It asked us to free it, and suggested we slay who we can now reasonably assume are the Seela." She pauses and slings the sharpened axe into her leather loop harness on her belt.  Palming the whetstone and occasionally throwing it into the air and catching it, she continues. "Yet, now having met the Seela, we hear a story about how Indomitability is evil and has used its power to cause the strange  unending forest fires within which we are now trapped.  According to the Seela, they keep the creature captive because to release it would mean that it not only could possess them, but the fires would then burn uncontrollably, killing the forest and them along with it.  Who is right and who is wrong?  I have no idea.  We're in a moral grey area and we need more information before we choose either path.  At a minimum we should travel to the Seela village and learn what we can.  Perhaps more clues await that can steer us in the best direction.  To me, that direction is the one that gets us out of here alive and the stolen intelligence to Lyceum.  That is where I stand."  </blockquote>
