In reference to this argument over "bashing" in Moghedu, there is not a guild in Achaea who can honestly boast that they as a group has never killed there. I have personally been a part of a group with someone from every guild.

The only possible exception are the Priests, but I have been there with Odysseus before he became the first Priest.

The core of your arguments, Sir Gawain, and Aeschylus, are that they are "innocent" people. According to Gawain, they are innocent because they do not attack others without provocation. That they are defenseless against the might of a group,
or even just one of us. That they cannot run from us, or protect themselves adequately.

True, they do not attack without provocation, but perhaps they want to give us the first blow in the battle. But to say they are defenceless, is silly. Many people have died to them in my travels there. If you choose to only kill the rats in
Ashtan, or the animals in the desert, then so be it. That is your prerogative.

Are our travels there somehow undermining the Church? Is it a blow to Order? Unless it is so, or until a Moghedu official asks me to refrain from engaging in combat with their guards, I will continue to go.

As I stated before, and is a precept of my guild, Druids believe in balance, the Balance between Order and Chaos. I am a human, also a balance between Order and Chaos. Which means quite plainly and simply, so it is not to be confused, I can be both
"bad" and "good", according to what definitions you want, to keep this Balance in Achaea.
