[QUOTE="Hairy Minotaur, post: 1416468, member: 11574"] "What?" One of the older dwarves asks Tharhack. "I need some information, I was told you might have it." Tharhack replies "Really?

The dwarf responds "The cult the resides in the church up the street, if I wanted to wipe them out of existence how would I do that?" Tharhack asks "Um, I cannot condone the killing of innocents.
