    NEVER. TRUST. CHILD. CHARACTERS. Especially when they behave in an extremely quirky manner. Her accent alone was a dead giveaway. Then there was that confusion with the book’s owner. But what I found really intriguing was how she almost seemed…unfazed a bit when Francois was murdered. I know shock does stuff to people, but she was stuck in “quirky” mode to me. That’s what really made me question her.

      Look at the characters as people. Put yourself in their place. Think of what Evil actually means, particularly to someone like Marius who has been fighting the Duchess’ influence for decades.
      Do you think these Dark Powers mean our heroes well? Do you think these dark beings have the best intentions for the world in general? If you give evil a hold over you, what sort of things will that evil force you to do?

      @elizabethtravis7332 4 місяці тому +1

      @@birdiefalls6352 That is easy to say in the moment, and it is easy to justify such actions at the time, believing that you have no other choice. It is only afterwards, once you start dealing with the consequences of evil bargains that you realize just how much you gave up by choosing to compromise and use evil to fight other evil.
      I am thinking primarily of Marius in this instance. As the series goes on, we see the Duchess gaining more and more control over him, most likely because he performed this ritual and bound himself closer to her. Because of her increased influence, Marius begins to lose faith in the Divine and believes that his god has abandoned him, though that is not the case.
      If you take the story seriously and actually care about the characters, you would see that no one who wanted the best for Marius would ever try to bind him closer to the Duchess if there were any other way of doing it.
      My main complaint is against the DM for encouraging (and virtually forcing) the darker side of the characters to the forefront, almost as if it was her goal to drive them to fall to evil and become the twisted, corrupted monsters we see in the Crooked Moon villains.
