And someone to go to her is also worth nothing when you don't have any means to find her.Seventeen said:Still, that's worth a whole lot of nothing without someone to actually go find her.
IIRC, the armsmen are with us right now. Can we manage to ask this question where they won't overhear?Arkeus said:To Dita and Kat:
If Earth Magic is corruptive because of the link to the earth but Fire is not, what about Flesh Magic and Force Magic? What steps one can take against such corruption?

Malcolmo said:Why exactly are you so willing to leave someone who's apparently practicing evil magic in our fief and alive? Kat didn't want to drag in the Witch Hunters because they'd likely attack her as well. Killing her ourselves negates that problem. Additionally telling her not to get out of hand will only ensure that she doesn't do anything to obvious and try to get rid of us. It solves nothing and leaves us with more problems should a priest come here.
My reasons for wanting her dead are less to do with her being evil and more to do with the fact that her actions negatively effect our position. And we already know she was willing to try shit with Kat and has a reputation for cursing people. Not something we want around our territories.Arkeus said:First, 'being evil' is no reason to kill someone- the majority of those characters could be considered evil one way or another by our 'modern' standpoint. Doing evil things, however, might be such a reason. Hence, if we believe that the witch can't stop herself from doing evil things, killing her will become a necessity.
She attacked her because she didn't want another sorceress stealing her influence on the villagers and to steal her looks. The witch hunter was a secondary concern. As for her not making waves I'll note that the peasants already say she's a witch and staying undercover in the ass end of nowhere isn't much of an accomplishment.However, she has lived years under the radar, and she seems to have attacked Kat at first because she was worried that not bringing the hammer on her would mean the witch hunter will come to this neck of woods- and later on, because Kat realized she was a witch. This hints that she is well able to live without making waves and without doing evil things.
You're forgetting that magic in this setting isn't the overpowered crap of most settings but the more subtle variety, which means that while she likely will have some tricks collateral damage isn't going to be as much of a worry.Second, i am worried about how difficult it would be to kill her- if she escapes or if she does enough collateral damage it might make Witch hunter coming (and even if we don't care if Kat gets killed by them, we do care about both Dita and ourself).
The Baron is unlikely to find out about Atalya and we can give decent enough an excuse to the Baron if need be. As for drawing the attention of the church, I'd argue that having a witch who does stuff that's blatantly evil on your fief would probably look worse on you.Furthermore, the Baron believes Kat to be the witch, and suddenly killing the person who helped against Kat and coming to our court with Kat might mean that some people could bring the attention of the church to us, either as a Witch practitioner or as being mind controlled, something we do not want.
She helped us because she wanted us to get rid of a potential threat. She essentially used us dude. Regardless we wouldn't be killing her for helping us we would be killing her because of her other actions.Lastly, Atalaya was nice to us- she helped us on our hints that we will pay her back, and that seems like it's possible we can have a working relationship with her as long as she doesn't go killing or hurting our people. Killing her for helping us is a dick move.
While survival likely is important to her, what would you do in her position? Would you rely on us having killed a potentially convincing, beautiful sorceress who knows you're evil? Or would you take precautions in case we get convinced by her? As to us being the son of someone important it is preferable to piss off that important person and still have a chance to live and escape then to not do so and wind up dead.Now, sure, it's possible she is readying a trap for us right now in case we didn't kill Kat, but that would be foolish as hell given we are not only the current lord of the place but also the son of one of the most important men in the country (she might not know the latter though). I am basically counting on her willingness to survive and hide over her want to randomly murder people.
My understanding is she attacked her because she was making waves, and waves are dangerous.Malcolmo said:She attacked her because she didn't want another sorceress stealing her influence on the villagers and to steal her looks.
She possibly has controls of dozens of people- collateral damage is certainly an issue.You're forgetting that magic in this setting isn't the overpowered crap of most settings but the more subtle variety, which means that while she likely will have some tricks collateral damage isn't going to be as much of a worry.
No, she wants to live- so she either would have a failsafe to help her run, or will agree to payment and work for us from time to time. Killing us is detrimental to her running or living, and unless she is much younger and dumber than i think she knows this.Would you rely on us having killed a potentially convincing, beautiful sorceress who knows you're evil?

She also attacked to steal her looks and because having another sorceress around would mean that her stuff would get detected very fast.Arkeus said:My understanding is she attacked her because she was making waves, and waves are dangerous.

Are you seriously strawmanning to that degree?Seventeen said:If people want to set the precedent that Dominic will kill people over possible future annoyance, I'm cool with that. But only if we go all the way evil.
