[quote=Kaga] I was going to say something just now along the lines of "Isn't there a way to resolve this situation and defuse the conflict without killing Sorin?".But then I took a good look at what I had typed, and decided that arguing so many philosophical debates from Vash's perspective is clearly doing funny things to my head. I still feel like there should be some way to avoid that, but, since I can't think of any actual solutions, I... guess I'll just leave this for the GM to resolve. [/quote] It could be defused short-term, but he's gleefully admitted he's willing to kill just for his own gain and with no better reason. If he survives, it just delays further assassination attempts. Yet this whole thing could be avoided simply by having him pose the 'I eat people' as a hypothetical situation. The guy is, by his in-universe achievements, vastly experienced and intelligent. Yet his actions right now display no comprehension of psychology, nor any consideration for what the two people he's fought beside could do. Plus blocking both their attacks with one swing is [i]really[/i] questionable from a power perspective. Surprise attacks, both two-handed and striking harder than any human can manage, blocked with a single movement?
