I'm only posting yet again because it seems that there are still people
who seem to automatically believe that whichever side posts more is
telling the truth and is correct. So, my answers to various points which
have been brought up to me.

As far as not attacking Shallamese citizens who raid villages, it is
true that in the early days of this campaign I hesitated to attack
Stricken who was killing children in Tasur'ke. Of course I could not
just look the other way, so I prepaired for battle with full intent to
repel Stricken as he and I have argued about his actions before and when
he saw me doing so he left the village. The next morning I quit Shallam
so as to avoid any more confusion on that level.

As far as these 'Dark Swordsaints' go, like most of our detractors they
are all bark and no bite. Other then posts I have seen nothing at all of
them.

As far as the Swordsaint's alliances, the organization is 90% Paladins,
but is not currently officially supported by the Paladin leadership (It
should be noted that most of the current leadership is apparently
inactive). Of course we are not officially allied with Shallam either as
Shallamites make up a portion of the raiders.

As far as Thera goes, it is true that Thera has her own guards and the
swordsaints will of course be respecting the wishes of the mayor of
Thera.

As far as the situation with Nerw and the other occultists, Nerw spent
about an hour insulting me, telling me that she would sneak in under my
noise or when I was not around and slaughter the people of Tasur'ke. I
said very little to her in response but rather remained on my vigil in
the market area. When she left I followed her and we had another
standoff and one-sided argument in the bath house. Eventually she was
joined by two more occultists who are known raiders and an occultist who
sympathizes with our goal of protecting the people of Tasur'ke told me
that Nerw was bragging about how she had me 'cornered' and that as soon
as I left she was going to kill everything in Tasur'ke again. With all
of this in mind as the insults kept coming on I disposed of Nerw.

I returned to the market and a couple hours later was attacked by four
more occultists and their monsters. Three died, the fourth fled and
shortly after that I composed this article. I hope this answers
questions many of you might have had.

Lastly, as loud as these detractors are, the stance of the Swordsaints
is this-
The villages are being raided less overall since this campaign began,
thus it has been successfull,
and as people have inherent rights which animals do not we will continue
to defend Tasur'ke, Shastaan and Jaru until further notice.
