[@Stern Algorithm] The rules are only to keep them alive. The magician culture doesn't have many rules other than don't kill without permission. I see you're point, but I still made her do it. Not an attack on the player, but rather something to enforce the plot. Because, even though the contract was made and signed, she could break it at anytime because it was made of magic rather than divine energy. And she can disrupt any spell using magical energy since that is her domain. I was trying to further the plot, because Dirka dislikes you're character's ideals. Gammaton, if quick enough with his tongue, could convince her to break the contract. And Yes, while she is sometimes an opportunist, it's only for a long term plan, and she refuses to alienate people in such a manner as to take away their choice. The contract she made was her taking away any indecisiveness she might have in the future. And be spiteful to Gammaton's plans. Plus what this person said was actually correct. [quote=@Stabby] [@Stern Algorithm] Just dropping my own two cents in on this, though I might be wrong. I'd say that though what he offered might have been tempting, he caught her at a bad time in a bad mood. Not only that, but she's made a deal with Anu to promote war, which though laws and order could give rise to organized military governments, it would eventually end on peace treaties, which as much as I may or may not understand her motives, would in the end likely be counterproductive to the deal she made with Anu. She wants order through chaos after all, not chaos caused by rigid order. [/quote] as for the contract, it won't change his thought, just means he is acknowledging it like you said. But the contract was made by means of a curse, not actual law. While gammaton's power is over law, this is not law, but magic. And actions such as ruining an assembly, preventing him from traveling, tricking him, etc. Things like that. And she doesn't want anyone to even know he exists. I'm using that as a plot furthering situation for future interactions. She may make deals, but she doesn't think all the gods should join. And I'm not eliminating a non-violent option. I'm just putting it on Halo's legendary mode with all skulls on. :) (P.S. What harsh language?)
