[pnpgm] Game Update #104 - File #792 - Party leaves Fair grounds

[Mark]

Kell has been listening to this entire conversation as well, intrigued as 
usual.  The half-elf just loves a good, yet almost useless, debate.  After 
hearing Fremea he responds, "Justice and revenge?  Those are rarely the same, 
but often cousins.  Can they be the same?  Good question.  I can't say.  For 
myself, I would not give those people compassion.  Taking away loved ones, 
important people, killing them, deserves either justice or revenge or both.  
When, not if, I find the people responsible for wiping out my caravan and 
killing my brother and friends, they will pay."  Flashing his assassin's grin he 
continues, "They will pay dearly.  And I will enjoy giving this payment to 
them.  Besides, people that would do these things often do many others like 
them.  It is not just a one time act, but a pattern.  One that must be stopped, 
just as the revenge pattern could be stopped, as Raban says."

"Whilst I agree also with Fremea that most Katai do no deserve to die, I am with 
her that I will not hesistate to do what is necessary to stop the Vong.  If that 
means, well, use your imagination..."  Turning directly to Fremea, "If you ever 
need help, count on me Fremea.  I will help you, no asking necessary.  ...  Now 
I have to speak with Unali." 

Approaching her he begins, "Unali, I know most want to keep us together in one 
group.  But I want to take two or three more and ride north to try and steal 
that detector.  Having one of them to study could be extremely useful.  The 
three or four of us can ride hard, find and steal it, then meet with the group 
in a day or so time.  Riding we can make better time than the wagon.  Who should 
go?  Either myself or Arawn or Fremea, for our sensing abilities.  Fremea should 
stay with the group for somewhat obvious reasons, Arawn could be more difficult 
to hide, so that leaves me.  Then Will for fighting and smarts.  You would be 
great with your skills.  Then Chion as he looks native, and if we need a quick 
escape Chion gives that.  What do you say?"  He says all this loud enough for 
anyone nearby to hear, it's not a secret at all.

"If anyone else has other thoughts and ideas for this I am open to hearing 
them."

Fremea has been listening as they ride along to the exchange between Kiet and 
Raban. Finally she leans out the window a to make sure they both can hear her. 
"So, Raban, such compassion for those that had not yet harmed you, yet were 
wanting to. I do understand your thinking and I only made the suggestion because 
almost nothing works better to get even enemies on your side than to get them 
thinking the other guy did it. I do believe that the Katai boy would not have 
been any threat to us really, even if we let him go at the fair grounds, it was 
more to get the Katai to be even angrier at the Vong. Maybe it wouldn't have 
worked anyway. As for revenge circles, what if someone did a powerful thing to 
you that was wrong? Would those people deserve your compassion? What if they 
killed or took away your most important loved ones? Do they not deserve justice, 
but is that not revenge too? I only ask these things because there is no black 
or white to any situation." Fremea pauses for a couple of seconds, "I do agree 
that most of these people in Katai do not deserve to die, they just don't know 
any other way at this time. Yet if they were to attack, I would not hesitate to 
put them down. I do apologize if I seem harsh."
