[quote=@Scarifar] A silence soon followed, with Niciel and Osveril in a standoff. Niciel weighed her options on what path to take next. She knew she was not going to kill Osveril, and even if she wanted to, the Oath of Stilldeath prevented her. Perhaps the safest method would be to seal away Osveril now, while it was still in a weaker state. However, Niciel didn't believe that to be the best approach either. A realization had struck her. Niciel didn't think Osveril had really lived very long in Galbar, and perhaps it was just inexperienced, much like a child would be. A child, of course, needed room to grow, and Niciel could not take that away from Osveril. [/quote] Forgive me if I missed it, but has Niciel signed the Oath of Stilldeath? If not, she's technically not beholden to it. Even if she was, it would only prevent her from killing any of the other signatories. Osvy Osbourne there is still fair game. That said, Niciel would have acted the same as she already has -- that's in her character just fine. I was just wondering because I've been keeping track of the signatories and adding cute little signature icons in the creation sheet for the oath. Btw, I can see some seriously mean verbal bullying in Osveril's future should he seek out Toun.
