It's a shame I have to clarify this, but some simple minds can't
correctly understand the essence of my post.

You don't "need" to murder innocent people, Alei. That's the most
ludicrous notion ever presented, and so further responses to your banter
aren't necessary.

To everyone else - Did I say, "This is war! All Consanguine will die!"
No, but some seem to be interpreting it this way. I said the Daru do not
tolerate the Shastaan massacre, and that the Daru hope to defend and
prevent future murders. Which brings up three important points, that you
fail to consider, as you banter on about wanting to slaughter my
Novices. (Very Noble goal, indeed)

1. I never said that the Daru guild would be arm and arm, across
Shastaan, on the ready to axekick anyone.
2. My vague statements don't actually implicate that the village will be
defended by force.
3. While members of the Daru may see force as the only resolution, that
does not constitute your attack on their fellow Guildmembers.

Murder is wrong. Plain and simple. You wouldn't like it if you were
sitting in Bloodloch, minding your own business, and I charged in and
battered you to death, though you'd done no wrong. We're not talking
about evil goblins, plotting Mhun, orcs and ogres who raid and occupy
other's lands, unintelligent creatures of the earth, or aggressive
monsters waiting to lash out at any who walk past. We're talking about a
village of innocent people, with families, lives, and emotions.

The Daru do not condone their murder. The Daru seek to find a resolution
to end their murder. This is not a declaration of violence.
