Bevin says, "We are happy that you look so favorably upon our abilities. Let us hope that our good fortune will continue." Bevin then turns to leave, but as an afterthought he says, "You do know, don't you Mr. Lamshar, that not ALL wizards are wicked, right?"

 

[kinem]

"Thank you" Lamshar bows. "Indeed, Bevin, I know that there are wizards among you. And I am sure that you will not start a conflict needlessly if there is a wizard out there and he is not hostile.

Speaking of which - what do you plan to do with the creature? Will you take it along? If you wish, I am sure my men can handle keeping it here."

"I'm not so sure that bringing a potential spy is a particularly good idea if we're attempting to scout the region. I know that powerful magic-users can use their familiars as foci for their divination spells, so it also doesn't help to have it here, as it might be providing additional information for an enemy, therefore my vote is that we destroy it." Rajah says with a cool, calculated demeanor not even flinching at the mention of taking this creatures life.

Razor hops with glee as he anticipates being able to take out some of his infernal anger upon it.

Bevin says, "I recommend against killing the creature, despite the obvious pleasure that doing so would bring to certain ones of our number. I do think, however, that the creature should have a good, stout sack placed over its head so that it can't see, and something stuffed into its ears so that it can't hear. And then I would be comfortable with having the tightly bound creature tended by your men, Lamshar."

Aram's face takes on a grim countenance. His voice is low as he speaks. "Though I don't normally agree with the practice of killing prisoners, I'm afraid I agree with Rajah. We should slay the beast, as it is of no value to us. Better to do that than take the chance of it escaping and warning whoever, or whatever, it serves."

"I refuse to slay a helpless creature that has done me no harm. But, Aram, if you are determined to do this, it were best done immediately and swiftly." Bevin then turns away from the poor creature.

"It is no animal, so I'm not violating any vows. Perhaps he is just the dominated and tortured slave. We should end his pain."

OOC: So that's three "thumbs down" votes -- Aram, Rajah, and Girgal, and one committed non-participant -- Bevin. It doesn't look good for the critter!

[sblock=meaningless trivia]btw: I have heard that when the ancient Romans voted on whether a gladitorial combatant should be spared or not, the "thumbs up" sign actually meant death (unlike today's conventional wisdom), because it showed a dagger (the thumb) slashing across the combatant's throat.[/sblock]

[sblock=Quite Right]
The 'thumbs up' was to kill, as in stick your sword in him, and 'thumbs down' was to spare them, as in sheath your sword.

"If it is determined that we need to terminate this creature, I will do it and spare the rest of you. I have more experience in this area and so will be most apt to administer the necessary actions with the least suffering." Rajah says to the others
