Upon investigation of the event of young Ruad's murder, it appears you
are now claiming that you murdered Ruad becuase the young monk apparently
mindlocked you and made you scared. Now, if this is true, then half the monks
in Achaea would be guilty of testing their newfound telepathic skills.
Certainly, I have been subjected to such harmless pranks and I merely
smile and roll my eyes. To think that this would warrant such murderous
behavior from the Templars is almost laughable if it wasn't so cold-
blooded and deadly.

However, I am not convinced that this is wholly the truth as to your
motivations. After you were allegedly assaulted by Ruad, you apparently
leisurely waited for him to go about Ashton and find several poor waifs
that needed the Orphanage's care. Then you must have tracked him and
held your sword until the moment he began enrolling the children?
Coincidence? It seems unlikely.

Yes, I did indeed kill you after this event. It was my Orphanage that you
stained with blood, my orphans that were scared witless, and the young
monk you murdered was engaged in the service of the Orphanage (i.e.,
enrolling the young ones). I hardly think my justified revenge upon you
is comparable at all to your murderous behavior.
