Mister Scarecrow: I want that from most people...
Mister Scarecrow
I think when he consistently has to make his decisions around the amoral snake, I can't blame him for ignoring his better judgement. Or disposing of it entirely. He seems affable enough. I suppose I just want more from him than he's capable of. Or than would be prudent for him.

Maur's just a coward. And when you consider the stuff around him, it's hard to blame him for his cowardice. Would you stand up to Ruckmearkha and certain death - perhaps even certain destruction of your soul - to save a rando kid you've never seen before? That's a toughie.

Funny, I have the opposite read on Maur. He has a moral compass and he consistently ignores it. Do you think that makes him better or worse than the amoral snake?
Mister Scarecrow
Maur is a good man. I had wondered for a moment why he wouldn't simply coreleech the remains away. I needn't have wondered long. Please let him find Chea before any one else does. And quietly. I worry about him having to put himself between her and Darkest/Ruck. Unless he's a real brill fighter. That'd be a welcome surprise. But, unfortunately, I think he cuts the figure of one whose gentle nature comes from great kindness cut with sometimes ignored wisdom and not great strength cut with wise temperance. And if that's the case only Chea will make it out. At bloody expense.
