    Thanks.

    The orcs, goblins, and drow live on the Alavaan plains. Collectively, their races are known as the Plavaan (Of Alavaan). Because it's easier to say, "Plavaan" than "Orc, goblin, and drow".

    You do know that Lloyd would have to be 14th level to cast mark of justice, right? Its a fourth level paladin spell. Either that, or Janine could cast it as a fifth level spell, which is probably what will happen.

    Yeah, I'd have to agree. The party may end up protecting the bandits from the people who wanted them gone. Hopefully not in an actual fight, though. I wonder if emnity toward non-humans is so high that the locals would try to frame the bandits for anything (can't help but speculate).

    That Ethan really seems kinda bad guy. He looks to Good and right. And he wears white clothes.

    So is Lloyd planning on taking those guys with them? How else would they travel with no supplies?

    You're talking about someone who refuses to come withing ten feet of an orc. Sure Ethan may not have the same reasons *coughobviouslyimpliedrapecough* but Janine would understand, in a sense.

    If Janine's parents/carers/whatever were racist against orcs, maybe they'd want to instill this in her as well. Maybe at a young age, she got on well with them.
    Maybe said parents/whatever used a Control/Dominate effect to make an orc abuse/rape her.
    I really hope I'm wrong. That'd be horrible.

    Read what Ethan says carefully. He didn't know Janine until she was older, but what he says may hold some clues...

    Good to see that the Edict of Toleration isn't as quite flimsy as the hobgoblin father thinks. From Ethan's reaction, the law must have some teeth in it.

    Also, we learned something about the justice system: presumably, a human bandit would get the Mark of Justice in this situation (because I doubt the Edict requires anyone to treat Plaavan criminals more leniently than human ones; just to treat them both the same.) So Astrid's clericshave a pretty prominent place in the system; their spells count as official acts of justice.

    Or at least one branch of her church says it's okay. When Lloyd disagrees, he still believes he's acting in Astrid's name, so there might be orthodox and liberal factions within the church.

    After all, Coffee did draw that utterly badass possible-future scene of Janine battling an older priest of Astrid, both shouting scripture at each other as they fight. Janine's verses were all about mercy and redemption, while the older priest's were about vengeance and supremacy. So it looks like both sides can find support in church doctrine.

    I would link the picture, not so much as evidence of a point but simply because it is awesome, and gives hope that Janine can overcome her past and grow up to be the woman in the picture. I'd have to dig through the old threads to find it, though. Coffee, any chance you can place a link to it in the "Extras" section on the front page?

    It's also that Lloyd's going to force the enforcement of this law.

    This is more common outside the large cities, but definitely in certain cases.
