You tell Armathael 'Yes, there are. And good, too.'
Armathael tells you 'True, and I hope the good prevail.'
You tell Armathael 'Why?'
Armathael tells you 'Do you love your friends, your family?'
You tell Armathael 'Yes.'
Armathael tells you 'For therein lies the answer why, sir.'
You tell Armathael 'That is torturous logic at best.'
Armathael tells you 'Not quite... Imagine, if you will, a world where evil has prevailed.'

Armathael tells you 'The strong, the brutal and the remorseless will have their way with your daughters, your wife, your mother, your sister.  They will put the good men among your tribe to the sword, or bind them in chains.'

Armathael tells you 'Where your loved ones will be safe and cared for.'

You tell Armathael 'You speak in the platitudes of your guild.'
Armathael tells you 'I mean no disrespect by my words, sir.'
You tell Armathael 'With little appreciation for the world as is.'

You see a tall, slender son of Darsylon.  Fair of skin and manner, he moves
with easy grace.  A kempt golden mane frames his open face, and the shadow of
a smile is ever upon his lips.  Inquisitive blue eyes peer out from beneath
fierce brows - searching, probing.  While his features are patrician, there
is nothing of pretension in him.  The simple clothing and armour of a martial
monk is draped about him, all in pristine white and silver.  He carries no
weapons, and is unencumbered but for a plain satchel across his back...

Armathael, a male elf, is covered with bleeding wounds.

Armathael is using:

A Blood-Encrusted Tunnel 
  Thick blood drips from the solid dirt walls and small roots that have made
their way into the tunnel.  The walls and floor are stained red,  and the
piles of dirt spotted on the ground are covered in the thick, syrupy
substance.  The ground is littered with various objects, all unidentifiable.
Looking up, the heavy brush of the forest completely hides the forest and
sky above. The tunnel continues to the east, and the forest is above.

Armathael tries to give you some unleavened bread, but you decline.
You say to Armathael 'And spare me the sermonizing - surely there was something real that led you to your guild.'
You forage around for food, and gather a large white mushroom.
Armathael says 'Break bread with me, Caz?'
Armathael says 'I wanted to pass it to you'
Armathael says 'but you pushed away my hand'
Armathael tries to give you some unleavened bread, but you decline.
You say to Armathael 'Look around you, Nature provides all the food we need.'
You hold up a large white mushroom and nod.
Armathael apologizes to you and begs for forgiveness.
Armathael says 'I did not mean to sermonise, forgive me if it came across that way'
You flash everyone a wry little smile.
Armathael says 'The truth is, I am not some chosen one or mighty warrior, sage priest'
Armathael says 'I am just the second son of a second son'
Armathael says 'My father and his father before him were paladins of Darsylon'
Armathael says 'I was raised to love the Light, and hold it close to my heart'
Armathael says 'Growing up, I always wanted to join my elders and brothers in their crusades'
Armathael shrugs indifferently.
You say 'I see.'
Armathael says 'It is a boring story, but it is the simple truth, sir'
Armathael says 'Not all of us can be dragon-blooded, or the son of a King'
Armathael chuckles politely.
You say 'Your guild is one that suffers more profound Loss than others, I think.'
Armathael says 'And you, cousin, how did you come to be a warden of the wilds?'
You say to Armathael 'So many things you forego, all in the name of the light.'
Armathael nods slowly.
Armathael says 'It is simply that voice in our hearts'
You say 'In the name of doing good, then.'
Armathael says 'Which desires good outcomes and kindnesses to others and ourselves'
You chuckle politely.
Armathael says 'Which is why I asked you about your friends and family'
Armathael says 'The only thing which separates us, sir, is that your family is connected to you by blood'
Armathael says 'To me, if not my brothers, family is'
Armathael gestures all around him.
Armathael says 'I love Nature as you do'
Caz barks out a laugh.
Armathael says 'I have no quarrel with the Refuge.'
Armathael says 'I love the Empire even, if not their evil ways.'
You say to Armathael 'These things you say are not consistent.'
You shrug.
Armathael says 'How so, cousin?'
You say to Armathael 'Perhaps you will come to see, in time.'
Armathael says 'Do you refer to when my brothers and I oppose the Empire on the field of battle?'
Armathael nods slowly, his eyes clouding over.
Armathael says 'Would it surprise you to hear that it pains me, to strike them down?'
You shrug.
You say 'Taking life is hard for some.'
Armathael says 'It is no different than when a parent strikes a child. We only seek to correct, not to hurt...'
Armathael smiles at you.
Armathael says 'But I will not say more, lest I be seen to proselytise'
Armathael says 'You are wise, and a priest of Nature'
You snort.
Armathael says 'Will you tell me more about what brought you to your present calling?'
Armathael says 'And what is Nature to you?'
You say to Armathael 'It is to be expected that we would disagree, yes.'
Armathael says 'Is it an abstract or a living entity?'
You boggle at the concept.
You say to Armathael 'Again, look around you.'
You say to Armathael 'Is this abstract?'
You hold up a large white mushroom and nod.
Armathael says 'But, cousin... We are more alike than you might think...'
Armathael says 'I enquired if Nature was an abstraction to you, simply because the Refuge does not appear to acknowledge the vastness of Nature'
You laugh heartily.
Armathael says 'I have been told they believe the cities, and men, are not part of nature... And yet what is Galadon but a great hive of stone?'
You say 'Go on then, tell me more of the Refuge.'
You grimace painfully at the thought.
Armathael says 'What are its inhabitants, but mortals all, ants going about their lives and businesses'
Armathael says '?'
You say to Armathael 'You know nothing of what you speak, paladin.'
Armathael says 'I apologise, Caz'
Armathael bows his head.
Armathael says 'It is exactly because I am ignorant that I would have words with you'
Armathael smiles at you.
Armathael says 'For to know a person is to love that person.'
Armathael says 'We are all of us not who we are, but for a reason or reasons'
Armathael says 'The Emperor is not cruel, but for his life experiences'
Armathael shrugs indifferently.
You say 'If you could feel the pain the lands feel when dwarves and men burrow into her and steal her veins to build their cities, you would hardly compare them to something like a beehive.'
Armathael says 'So Nature is a person?'
You say 'Of course not, Armathael.'
Armathael says 'And why dwarves digging hurt anymore than ants digging, or worms, or badgers burrowing...'
You say 'Does it bother you that you do not understand?'
Armathael says 'Perhaps we think too much of ourselves?'
Armathael says 'Perhaps we are beneath Nature's notice?'
You wave a hand in a dismissive manner.
Armathael nods.
Armathael says 'It does, cousin, please enlighten...'
Armathael says 'I just see this vastness around us'
You say 'It is not for me to tell you. It is for you to discover.'
Armathael says 'The green ocean'
Armathael says 'the blue skies'
Armathael says 'the great trees'
Armathael says 'I fail to see how any army or artifice of man could end Nature'
You say 'Nature does not give up its secrets as easy as your paladin's guild.'
Armathael says 'If we burn down all the trees, we will choke in the smoke'
Armathael says 'if we poison the rivers, we will drown in our own poison'
Armathael says 'And when the world is devoid of man'
Armathael says 'New life will begin'
Armathael says 'Such is Nature's cycle, is it not?'
Armathael shakes his head.
You flash everyone a wry little smile.
You say 'Again, you speak of things you do not understand.'
Armathael says 'Being a paladin is not so simple or different as you might think, sir...'
You say 'You should first learn to listen.'
Armathael nods.
Armathael says 'I will be silent a while now, friend, and listen...'
You say 'And not to me, but to yourself.'
You say 'Find somewhere beautiful, and simply be present. Perhaps something Ancient will speak to even you.'
You shrug.
You say 'I have my doubts.'
Armathael nods slowlly.
Armathael says 'Perhaps.'
You say to Armathael 'What would you have done had you not become a Paladin?'
Armathael says 'I would have been me, sir.'
You say to Armathael 'You will never have children of your own, you know.'
Armathael says 'Paladin is just a label.'
Armathael says 'With our without this armour, with or without powers. I would do good however I can.'
Armathael smiles sadly.
You snort.
Armathael says 'Children...'
Armathael says 'Perhaps one day, when I am old and grey'
Armathael says 'If the crusade does not end me.'
Armathael says 'It is exactly to make this world a safer better place for our children, Caz'
Armathael says 'That I am this paladin you call me'
You chuckle politely.
Armathael says 'Someone has to pay the price. Who else if not the young and strong among us?'
Armathael says 'Is that not Nature's way?'
You say to Armathael 'There is no telling the future, but do you think it likely that by the time you are dead and gone the world will have changed in any deeply meaningful way?'
Armathael says 'Is it not the biggest, strongest members of the pack or hive, which defend the rest?'
You laugh heartily.
Armathael smiles at you.
You say to Armathael 'In some packs and hives, the biggest, strongest members kill and eat the rest.'
Armathael says 'I love the way you laugh... it is real, earthy...'
Armathael clasps Caz's arm warmly.
You say 'Hands to yourself, hm.'
Your skin becomes tough like bark.
Armathael says 'And that is what differentiates men from beasts, sir...  An animal is neither good nor evil in truth'
Armathael says 'For it lacks conscience, that moral compass which we call the Light'
You say 'Do you think so?'
You beckon for everyone to follow.
You stand up.
Armathael says 'If it was intellect which separated us, then babies are animals too'
Armathael now follows you.
You say 'You are mincing words again.'

*** snip finding a taglo

(Red Aura) The evil taglo's gaze sends a shiver down your spine.

You nod.

Bristly hair covers the back of this boar-like creature, as well as
spots on its sides and legs.  His oversized head is carried by a plump
torso, held off of the ground by four stubby legs.  A pair of hooked
tusks protrude from his lower jaw, allowing saliva to slowly drip from
his mouth.  The tusks are covered in a heavy layer of blood and dirt,
and a bit of flesh still sticks to one.
The evil taglo is in perfect health.

You point at the evil taglo.
The evil taglo looks at you blankly.
Armathael nods.
Armathael smiles at you.
You say to Armathael 'What is that?'
Armathael says 'A boar'
Armathael says 'An animal'
You say 'Can you not see the aura?'
Armathael says 'I do'

*** snip back to the tunnel

You rest.
Armathael says 'That aura is not everything however'
Armathael says 'I have seen fallen of the Light, who still shine golden before the fall'
Armathael says 'I have seen a child of the Dark, on the cusp of redemption'
Armathael says 'And that child still glows red'
Armathael says 'Things are not always as they seem, sir'
You say 'Sometimes. More often than not, they are.'
Armathael says 'Not every fire giant is evil, it is only that as a society, culturally, they have developed that way, towards brutality and aggression'
Armathael says 'That glow on the taglo simply tells me it is full of rage and enmity'
Armathael says 'But I believe even such beasts can be calmed, even tamed'
You chuckle politely.
Armathael says 'By the likes of you and your brethren?'
Armathael smiles at you.
Armathael looks at you.
You say 'Yes, but most of us have little concern for matters of morality when couched in those terms.'
Armathael nods.
Armathael says 'I understand, such is the diversity of life'
You say 'I think if you took it with you back to the Fortress, it would be received poorly.'
Armathael says 'I can only be true to myself, cousin'
Armathael smiles happily.
Armathael says 'If the Fortress sees it differently, then so be it'
Armathael says 'I would learn from them'
Armathael says 'certainly'
Armathael says 'I am not faultless'
Armathael says 'But I will neither betray the Light nor what my heart tells me'
You flash everyone a wry little smile.
Armathael says 'I do hope we can be friends, Caz... But for now another calls to me from afar'
Armathael bows before you.
You say to Armathael 'I hope those two things come into conflict at some point for you.'
Armathael says 'Please know that I respect you and your ways'
You say to Armathael 'It will be... illuminating.'
You stand up.
Armathael nods.
Armathael sighs.
Armathael says 'Time will tell.'
Armathael smiles at you.
You say 'That it will.'
You nod at Armathael.
Armathael smiles happily.
Armathael bows deeply.
