> How the hell do you Ragers justify Well, Sedra has two choices here as a Battlerager. If I was a battlerager I would take a swipe at the one who just pillered the hell out of the giant. So, as far as I can see, Sedra's in the clear. While I'm posting again, I might as well bring up the issue of civilization vs. nature, and reasons Sylvans have for attacking 'defilers'. It all started with totalitarian agriculture. For those that need help, I'll explain. Once humans (read: races of Thera) began exploiting the land to yeild more than it normally should (read: farming), they started messing with the way nature works. Deviating from the original plan. You get the idea. Why would a Sylvan wall/insect/kill someone if they held brownies but not beef jerky? Although it's been stated that cows are domesticated animals, and brownies are protectors of the forest, the cows have been subdued for the needs of civilization, and their nature has been changed. I'd like to see some Sylvans raid farms and whatnot because they are cultivating nature so they can support civilization to mantain itself and to expand. -A.

A) Attack mage.
B) Attack mage who just attacked the massive giant.
I've seen Bliscass run around the High Tower of Sorcery killing the local mages and screaming things at them (too bad it was my assassin who was watching, 'ass bliscass;g all corpse'), I can see how it would be done. Perhaps Dawn would come to the aid of the defenceless farmers and we'd see some sparks fly! Well, like that would ever happen, I don't think Sylvan is on ANYone's bad side but Masters and Empire, and Empire's in a shoddy state right now anyhow. When was the last time a big fat razor-edged swinging thing swung the Warder's way? Anyway.. think about it, totalitarian agriculture is (in part) responsible for civilization, and the Sylvans had better do something about it, damnnit! They've got one big blind eye if you ask me.
