> I kind of find it hard to believe a person like I'on would accept killing innocents who were just doing their jobs... He is smaller, but also stockier and can always just hit the vampire over his head with his staff, no? Since Morgan is a vampire, there is probably a somewhat smaller chance that he'd be permanently brain-damaged from it. (Well ... there'd be quite a bit of explaining to do afterwards, but at least people'd not be dead. NPCs are persons, too, and shouldn't treated any differently IC than played characters.)

I mean, I would agree. However, Ixion did mention inwardly that he wasn't exactly pleased that his cover had been/could be compromised and was making best of the situation. But given the opportunity... the possibilities, heh. Then again, the right moral choice could override the need to hide. 

And don't vampires pretty much recover from any mortal wound? 

> Lol, it'd also make I'on...less likely to side with the two if they end up killing guardsmen. He has lived in Zerul for a good while, has a good reputation, and is a generally upstanding individual for the most part. Ironically, Morgan's assessment of him never having lived outside of society is quite inaccurate, but that is from his perspective and the vampire hardly knows the little penin well enough to think otherwise :P

> We'll see how things progress, but if they end up fighting the guards, I'on will quickly second guess his alliance with them, and have to very swiftly choose whom to unleash his magic upon to deadly efficiency. Either way this goes it should be interesting, and that's what's important ^_^
> 
> Edit for Shien: Very true, as I mentioned above briefly. That does bring a good point up, as to whether I'on would do so. I'm sure he'd sense the killing intent to at least some extent, if that's even a reasonable way of putting it. Plus Morgan's movements are not exactly ones someone takes who isn't about to be blatantly hostile/dangerous.
> 
> So knocking the fellow out, or knocking him from his frenzy, is quite possible.

Well, naturally. Who wouldn't want to protect his life from a rampaging vampire? :P And of course, Morgan's assumptions are incorrect, but they're also judgmental due to the fact that he assumes that I'on is with the law. I do believe the death of him will be due to his hatred for such people... But anyway, I can't wait to see responses - this will be indefinitely interesting.
