Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tellerian Hawke" data-source="post: 7032230" data-attributes="member: 6790669">Merin is using Way to attempt to detect toxins on the party members. His hunch is that if the Bender has been feeding the toxins to the bats, the party members might already be infected through the little bites they suffered when the bats were swarming through the cave.Tor says, "You obviously use toxins of various sorts to 'turn' the tribesmen into 'ravishers.' Why do you do this? Do you have no basic respect for life? And for your edification, I tell myself no lies. I am a flawed being, with wants and desires, yes. Some of them are self-indulgent, yes, though I would hesitate to go as far as to say selfish. I have no qualms about sharing my good fortune, and helping others in need. I don't neglect my own needs, but this is not selfishness. It's individuality. Nothing more. Your heart is ruled by anger, and your claim of non-benevolence and total selfishness is rhetorical nonsense, an excuse to justify your own insecurities and shortcomings. Are you so ruled by hatred, as to be blinded to your own depravity?"While he is saying this, he is watching her closely, lest she try to kick up the powders towards us. One hostile move will cause Tor to charge.</blockquote>
