What Could Have Been Vol. 12
Oct. 23rd, 2017 06:54 pmAnd here we go.
Okay, first of all, I'm not going to change that speech from the Tear. It hints at the fact that the Dragonians are not actually the protagonists here.
I am going to change one little thing though-the party accompanies Serge to the chamber...and promptly call out the Tear.
Tarnruff: Um, say what? I've seen more ecological devastation from [i]my[/i] people. Mutated humans or not, demihumans are not blameless in their relationship with the planet; some are just hypocrites about it.
Leena: Someone should really tell that to the ghost of my favorite teacher. He was a rabid ecologist and people listened to him
Guile: ...what delusion. I saw the great Reptite civilization at its hight, and it enslaved the world around it; the shy hairless apes were as such because we were nearly hunted to extinction.
Harle: Ack. Blah-de-blah, blah, blah. These things are [i]always[/i] whining about how everything was better on their Earth...
This then sets off a discussion of what Lavos is, and eventually the party realizes he manipulates things to inflame conflict, especially hyper-destructive conflict that selects for the strongest life forms. The only reason Lavos didn't chose Reptites is because they weren't a species that survived his fall, no other; they were a people, like any other, with flaws.
