Re: Scales of War: Rescue at Rivenroar
May mounts up and seems confused. "Not sure who you've been hanging out with before adventuring, Mittens. You come from a town of malcontents who curse heroes for breaking into the enemy's lair? If so, you didn't seem terribly surprised by the praises we got."
Raichel says, "Might be Tim and I she's saying that to. Timothius tends to be a non-violent sort and I tend to be a strict sort. So he's said stuff like..."
Timothius picks up, "..'killing is only a last resort. Even in self-defense, you should do everything to avoid killing.' and Raichel will say stuff like..."
Raichel picks up, "..'rules should apply to everyone. No one is above the law. So if breaking and entering a person's home is against the rules, that also applies to entering a villain's home.' ...but all rules have exceptions and pecking order. Obviously, if a building is on fire, it's OK to break into the building in order to save the lives of those caught inside. Or in this case, we are taking the part of the officials and breaking into a place where thieves are keeping the things they stole. It's not stealing if you are retrieving it for the original owner."
May says, "So... you three just like musing about these things?"
Raichel says, "Racism is an interesting thing. It can cause people to say and do stupid things to justify being mean to you. So we've had people try to accuse us of evil or lawbreaking just because they don't like us."
Timothius says, "...after a certain point, Rai, I think they just disliked you for being so law-biding. You made most people look bad."
