Did you hear a lot of complaints against Azilaph? Nobody ever told me if they did. And while I appreciate you thinking I was awesome :) I'm not sure how'd you really know, since we didn't travel that often and I didn't announce my kills but rarely. Still, thanks for that though!

Oh, I agree, you should ask about it. I just got the sense you actually believed them, too. My mistake.

I can show you logs if you want. :P

I didn't realize you really despised Azilaph. Damn. I didn't even try!

Azilaph didn't just mouth the spirit of being in a brotherhood and village where you're all forsaking your pasts and joining a new family, he lived it, breathed it. There would have been precious little he'd rather do than hurt or kill another villager. It would just weaken that person in the bigger war, in his mind, and so if things could be figured out without needing to fight in the circle, so be it. He wouldn't back down and mewl like a kitten, so if you really wanted to fight then he'd fight, but in that one instance it just wasn't worth it. Also, he did enough fighting out in the lands that he was pretty confident in his courage and didn't need to worry that anyone would question it there.

Enjoy the rest of your time with Rektath. I loved my drillmaster Vershelt, it's a good time.
