"I see. Terenti is the God of our universe and teaches sentient beings to repent their former lives and grow past their sins by following the seven virtues." Saul replies.

"I thought all angels had to be good all the time, or else they'd fall like whaz-her-name."
Rot flexes one of the large bat-like wings on his back and glances at it rather pointedly. He also self-consciously squeezes one of his biceps. He's totally buff! It... just doesn't look like it. <.<
"Drinking blood isn't too bad. It tastes really good, and there's no shortage of mortals to eat."

Ah. Nomos, being an impartial and neutral judge of the eternal battle between good or evil, has none of the moral teachings of most other religions. However, on a personal level, I strongly believe in helping and protecting those who need it.

The gery-robed cleric takes a look around. Each one of the patrons here is more interesting than the last, so this scan takes awhile. ... No, I am afraid not. This is my first time in this establishment, actually.

"I recognize but one. That vampire over there. I fought him to a standstill when he and his girlfriend were indiscriminately slaughtering innocents for their own amusement in the midst of a governmental crisis." Saul states, referring to Rot.
Saul motions to whichever NPC is on duty out here. "Excuse me. Might I get a bottle of sake please?"
But... Saul already has tea!

Tony looks over at Rot for a second and then turns back to Saul. Despicable. Were we in my city I would arrest him at once. Regrettably, I am out of my jurisdiction here.

"Well, yes, they do. But that's not a problem if I don't want to be Evil, is it?"
He does not notice Rot flexing his bicep. But he does look at the wing and decides not to say anything. Wings without feathers? Yuck...
"Really? But isn't it a real pain to look for mortals to kill? I mean, for starters, if you kill them, anyone around you will scream. And sure, NPC's won't harm you, but it's not like several PC's couldn't give you a hard time."
"That's true, but it's not a pain. Terrifying people and fighting them are also very fun."
Rot nods sagely. He does not notice the two clerics talking about him, though should be a bit worried about that.
"Evil is a very rewarding and fun system if you're sadistic enough."

Were a dangerous suspect to resist arrest and were I to believe that the continued freedom of the suspect threatens innocent lives, I do have the authority to use lethal force. I abhor having to kill except when it is absolutely necessary, but I have done it before and will most likely be forced to do it again. Tony sighs and gives Saul a shrewd look. Will you require assistance? I am permitted to use lethal force in self defence, when I feel my life is threatened, even when I am outside my jurisdiction and cannot legally make an arrest.
Ah, the delicate balance of doing the Moral thing versus doing the Legal thing...

Haruki suddenly lunges forward to attack Rot! No, wait, that's not possible, is it? Actually, he pretends he's going to but stops only a few inches away to scare the vampire.
Rot jumps back, ready to defend himself! Well, actually, he kinda just puts his hands up in a cowering pose. If the aura of nonviolence wasn't there, the vampire would probably summon up his sword and try to skewer Haruki before the feint was revealed.
"Don't do that."
He returns to a more relaxed pose in his seat and angrily munches on his sun cake. Rawr! Die defenseless mortal confectionery!
"'s more chaotic than good anyway." <.<

"Human lives have no jurisdiction. I would appreciate the help should you choose to provide it." Saul says, sipping demurely at his tea.
If one can do anything demurely while talking about putting down a vampire.

I have given my whole life to following and upholding Nomos' laws. I must make sure that I am acting within their bounds all the time. Think of it as a sacrifice my religion calls me to make, one that is different than yours. But yes, I will assist you.

I was taught that Nomos wanted to make a perfectly organized nation that resembled a precise machine more than a large group of people living in the same area. Some say the laws preserve order in the country so that our scientists have the time and resources to gain knowledge, thus venerating our God. Others claim that the scientists study and invent so that the country can be better organized, thus pleasing our God with how orderly we are. I guess it depends on which of Nomos' domains you believe takes precedence. Tony shrugs.

Saul puts his tea down for now. That seemed so very...
Anti-human.
He thinks Nomos would do better ruling over ants. Though he supposes ants aren't exactly the most knowledgeable things in the world.
"I see." Is all he has to say about it though. His question was thoroughly sated by that answer.

"It was a barren world, run by fear, and stricken by disease. Resources were scarce. Warlords ruled. Fighting was constant. Lust was rampant and life spans were short."
"Terenti brought redemption. Many resisted at first, unwilling to change. Those who stood by their old ways fell with the cleansing. Those who accepted him and truly washed clean their souls were rewarded. The planet is plentiful and fruitful now. Food is abundant. The growth in medical knowledge has helped cleanse the land. There has been no fighting in a long time. It has... become it's own little paradise."
"I chose to leave it, in order to spread Terenti's word."

"Hehe... sorry, Rot. I couldn't help myself," he says, leaning back on the chair. "Well, yes, it's true. I've gotten into a lot of trouble for it in the past. I'm way more Chaotic than Good and a lot of the guys upstairs don't like that very much. But when they get down to it, they can't really complain about my work. There's a couple eldritch abominations they don't have to worry about anymore that they would if I hadn't been there."
Eldritch abominations? Rot is intrigued. He has an eldritch abomination he needs to deal with, after all.
"You've slain eldritch abominations? Which ones, and how?"

"Uh... well, they didn't all have names. There was that one with all the tentacles... and that one with all the eyes. And then there was the one with lots of eyes at the end of the tentacles. Yuck. Getting the slime off my clothes took ages."
He looks thoughtful. It has been a while since he did that. "I don't know, it's kinda my job."
