I see. I can understand why one would kill devils and demons, but why celestials?
"They believe that what they want to do is the absolute good, even when it would hurt others needlessly. Part of my job is to wipe out creatures of the light who overreach. If my people didn't stop them, there would be no freedom in this world, only violence as the servants of different gods try to impose their own ideas of good upon all other beings."
They attempt to hold back laughter. Wait, so like Ysgard wants to grant up an authoritarian state? Or Aravandor?
"It's not that simple. Let me explain. If you believe with all of your soul that what you believe is absolute truth and that anything that goes against that truth is evil, wouldn't you want to spread that good? And if you met someone with the same conviction, but different beliefs, wouldn't you fight them?"
No, because death and fighting is evil... There is a thing called a peaceful argument you know.
"But many angels don't see it that way. Even worse are the paladins and clerics who often follow them. Most angels deal in absolutes. They don't think the way you do, Raphael. You are a person who happens to be a celestial. Many angels are little more than devout, intelligent constructs in mind."
*How did they know?*
Most angels I have seen act as such... but I can understand why one might think as such.
*Detect Evil and Good, combined with Raphael defending celestials. Most other creatures that Detect E&G can detect would have a bit of a dim view of angels and the like.*
"I have nothing against celestials, of course. But sacrifices must be made."
*Good point*
Indeed. Of course, if they were evil, they would be devils and demons, not angels or Cleladrin
"Good and evil are very ambiguous for something so well-defined."
And yet they are absolutes in the world, via alignments or the afterlife
"Fortunately, I need not worry about such things anymore."
If I had a sprite judge your heart, what would your alighment be?
"I don't have a heart, literally or metaphorically. If I had to hazard a guess, I would say Chaotic Good. I do what I must, because I can. For the good of all of us."
I see... You do seem similar to quite a lot of Cleladrin I have met
"Maybe. I think I may be technically a plant now. I don't care for what a creature is as much as what they do. That applies to myself as well."
Understood, Warden. And your weaponry?

"A Musket of Smoldering is my primary. It lights my foes with magical fire. It's not a weapon of legendary power, but they don't make much better muskets. My secondary is a simple club, wrapped in my own vines."
Vivian is drawing in her notebook, when a portal spontaniously opens up under her chair, her letting out a small yelp as she drops into it

He's able to get into the portal right before it closes, being dropped into what looks like a series of long abandoned tunnel. Its extremely dark, except for where vivian is, where she has a flame in her hands, using it to keep light around her

Two things are infinite: The universe, and human stupidity; and I'm not so sure about the universe.
