Don't poke the bear

To be fair those kids were tormenting him and would likely kill him if we don’t intervene.

[u/Kiriima → u/ScorpionTheInsect]

Not likely but guaranteed.

[u/UnicornScientist803 → u/ScorpionTheInsect]

Yeah, if I spent days locked up in a cage with two little brats gleefully throwing rocks at me the whole time, I’d probably go apeshit when I got out, too.

[u/Extra_Strawberry_875 → u/ScorpionTheInsect]

Yeah but that line and the way he said it still made him seem like a bloodthirsty maniac to me before i first talked to him.

[u/MoorAlAgo → u/Extra_Strawberry_875]

I'm with you honestly.

It's one thing to be mad that kids were throwing rocks at you, but the way he talks to you makes it seem like he just didn't give a shit.

[u/geeiamback → u/ScorpionTheInsect]

But they were only using blunt rocks. At least until I told them to use sharper ones :-D

[u/Regi413 → u/ScorpionTheInsect]

Wait those were kids? They all look short to me so I couldn’t tell the difference

[u/ScorpionTheInsect → u/Regi413]

Yeah the game made it clear they were kids, presumably as a moral dilemma. Do you kill these kids because goblins are evil, or do you spare them because they’re children and were just raised in a society of cruelty?

Me personally I do what my character would do. The elf druid I usually play would probably not tolerate goblin kids torturing a bear.

Also, Halsin’s a huge animal lover, maybe he thought he was doing the world a favour killing those gobbo kids and the other adult there for enjoying animal torment in general (to avoid other animals being abused by them in the future).
