I’m trying to puzzle out all these paradoxes in paradoxes to see if there’s any way that Eadric can win. If Ed agrees to have DT as his personal tempter, he will be eventually be driven into a corner where he must either disagree with Oronthon or utterly submit his will to Oronthon. The latter is the option Ed would seem most likely to head for but given that he is still human he will probably fail at it. However, even if he were to succeed at it he would seem to be operating out of the old orthodoxy and will have therefore failed anyway. Perhaps identifying and owning the differences between his own opinions and the will of Oronthan and trying to hold true to his own beliefs whilst also remaining faithful to the big O is the way. If the middle way is the new orthodoxy this would fit better. But what does this mean? Is the O-Dog turning Neutral Good? I love the way Titivilus presents the temptation so innocently. I think if Ed did take this path the result would be very different. Wracked with guilt and the knowledge of his failure it would lead to a downward spiral. How can a Paladin go on being a Paladin when they can no longer aspire to the highest of ideals, knowing that they have already failed at the chance to live them out? And what if the offer of Titivilus as personal tempter is in fact the temptation. An appeal to Ed’s pride that he would be singled out for such by Oronthan and that he would be able to resist the temptations thrown at him. Can’t wait to see what light Tramst/Oronthan sheds on this. Sep, I'm going to send you the bill for the headache tablets. In fact I suggest a new title for Sep, RBSHW (Rat Bastard Story Hour Writer).  I mean leaving all us addicts just hanging the way he does...</blockquote>
