"You must make your own choice, Andor. As for me and any others that agree with me, we will choose to obey our Lord Marshal first. If you truly search your heart and find that the welfare of these is above your oath and your loyalty to the Lord Marshal, then you must stay and fight alongside of them. I do not think that any of us will fault you for such action, but neither will we neglect what we see as our primary duty to the Lord Marshal. Without the Lord Marshal, people like this would never have experienced what freedoms and pleasures that they have had up to now."

And where does it stop, Padraig? Do you kill baby goblin because it MAY become greatest warchief in history? And who are you to say that our mission is more important then lives of these people?

Andor, you surprise me with your flawed logic. I am not suggesting we kill anyone, just that we not die uselessly here when we might make a difference somewhere else. Would you dive into sea full of sharks with an innocent child, just to comfort his last few moments, rather than staying alive and possibly freeing a hundred just like him? I know it is a harsh question, but this is a harsh time. We can do nothing but delay the inevitable here. There is a chance we can do more with our original mission.

As to your second question, who are you to say that it is not? As I see it, I am following orders, with the hoep that they will serve the greater good. It is you who is suggesting that we alter our course, neglecting our orders. And as I have said, I don't think our presence will save any lives, just extend them for a day or two at most.

"My Friends! We battle for the same cause here! Let us not strive against each other as well as against the Orcs and Ogiers! Can't we agree to put aside such bickering while our war lingers on? THEN, we can beat hell out of each other at our leisure!!"

Roak listens to the heated debate quietly, and then finally speaks. "We have our orders, and that is to get our dispatches to the Lord Marshall with all possible haste. I for one do not relish the thought of a court martial. We will do our best to convince these people to continue on their way, but if they decide to stay they will be on their own. I do not like it, but our first duty is to the crown."


And for the record, I have no doubt that JA would have our PCs court martialed.

SURELY NOT!! He's such a Sweet DM, after all!! I feel certain that he'd forgive everyone, make s'mores with us and sing Kum-Ba-Ya...

[sblock=Rhun]I found IC thread and RG thread, but I couldn't locate OOC for Red Hand of Doom....[/sblock]

[sblock=Leif]
You posted in the OOC thread for RHoD. LOL. So you must have found it.[/sblock]

 

[Leif]

Ooc:

[sblock=Rhun]So I did, so I did. I guess I was confused because OOC doesn't appear in the title of that thread? Anyway, nevermind! [/sblock]

"Everyone must make their own choices. That goes no less for those on the hill than it does for us. We can spare time to bring them news of what is coming, and help them evacuate if they choose to. However, if they choose to stay and fight in full knowledge of what they face that is their choice. In either eventuality we can't stay long; we need to be on our way to the Lord Marshall so that he has time to prepare for the army at our back."

"Well said, Aidan, my Brother. Let us hurry and tell them this news and then be on our way."

Roak puts spur to his mount's flank, cantering forward toward the hill. "WHO COMMANDS HERE?" he bellows, his voice booming through the air.
