Given freely?

This sounds like an unnecessary moral distinction.  The GMs don't have to explain why the blood needs to be freely given, but really... gas you pay for doesn't get you any farther than gas you steal.

But leaded or otherwise adulterated gas will cause you a lot of problems.

C'mon, you don't think what the Light needs is something purely physical, do you?

The asked for blood. Sounds pretty physical.

The blood was probably the medium that provided what they were truly after. IE something not PURELY physical.

Were you around in the 4th invasion?

It was made quite clear that human blood, given freely, would give power to the Light.

It doesn't take more knowledge to extrapolate from that to "NPC peasants are human too! Maybe their blood would work!"  Just some creativity.

However, it was far from clear whether it was *desireable* to give power to the light. Many of us, OOC, suspected that they were put them to save our sorry asses, but IC tended to view them as a threat, abominations of uncontrollable power.

I guess that doesn't matter though since those who distrusted the Light didn't actually have any of their temples.

No humans attacked Hetland, but it came pretty damn close. We were scared !@#$less by the bloodbath going on in Creasur and the light's "thou art unworthy" attitude towards us. Hetland was repeatedly told: limit the blood you give them! We'll convince the daimons you leave you alone if you stop powering these beings we know nothing about!

Yeah, well, that's something of a different question, isn't it?

Again, theme of distrust and betrayal You had no way of knowing that the Daimons wouldn't suddenly end their agreement with you either, sometimes you just have to take a punt and deal with the risks.

Which is why we were quite content to have the monsters and the daimons fight each other. We truly did believe we were just expendable assets to the daimons in their long-term agenda, but using them as allies beats having them fight with the monsters over scraps of a dead realm.

If your characters sense of honour allows that, sure is.

Had we not done so, Enweil would be blighted, Rio probably would have followed.

Therefore, we did humanity a favor by pursing self-preservation.

[Indirik]

Only if you consider saving Enweil and Rio to be a public service. Some people would dub you traitors to humanity for that...

[De-Legro]

That doesn't necessarily mean it was the honourable thing to do

But I think this thread has already gotten off topic enough.

As a discussion goes on, the odds of it revolving around Enweil/Rio approaches 1.

Slip of the tongue?

Slip of the tongue?

Does it make it less true if it is?
