What is the utility? What are we accomplishing by denying or granting such rights (whatever you consider them to be) from such individuals?

Eikka steps towards the priests son and holds out her amulet of Zud. Get thee behind me accursed! She screeches in rage presenting the holy symbol fearlessly.

Eikka quietly casts guidance and resistance on Snerp. Whatever he's about to try she wants to give him every chance to succeed and survive the experience.

I think Roberts has the right idea. I'm ready to cast guiding bolt at a moment's notice, although I don't stop wailing and gnashing.

Let's get started. Eikka begins to wail lamentations, rend her hair and gnash her teeth as would be fit the funeral for an orcish cheiftan.

(Meh, Eikka is lukewarm aboit that plan at best. If we had a revive she would want to save it in case one of you get yourselves killed. She might be the only one who could use the scroll or whatever it turns out to be. The greater good in her mind is looking out for you guys.)

(I still say we just kill the blood sucker. Think about it we can back it into a corner with a holy symbol and lob ranged at it until it stops moving. Then we stake it and cut off its head.)

Eikka lays a sympathetic hand on Snerp's shoulder. You did not know my friend.

I didn't get the chance to ask her plans for the child but I wouldn't eat the meat pies she sells. Snerp tried to save the poor thing but alas it was too late. It is something we plan on bringing up with her when we visit the windmill.

Snerp watch your feet. I appologize he is likely upset by our sorrowful burden. Again lifts the bag. We found this poor child on Maggie's meatpie cart.

I'd just as soon see if they are involved straight away. How better than confronting them with the evidence. Eikka whispers back, though she does reshoulder the bag.

You have to look at this from her perspective Snerp old bean. You do look like an old child.

The child is dead my friend. I'm sorry but they are lost. Don't worry we will avenge the poor dear.

Ok by what definition of desire do you decide what to desire rather than simply realizing that you desire it?
Created:

@Mopac
Then The Truth is not merely that which is true and you are engaged in an equivocation fallacy when you claim that denying The Truth is tantamount to denying the existence of any truth.The fact that we all die and nothing can stop it is indeed a truth, but it is not The Truth

It doesn't matter what a desire is unless your desires are under your control and you do not choose your desires.

@Mopac
What is your issue?
I still do not understand how you have made some of the determinations about reality that you base your claims on.
The Truth has dominion over time and death.
This is a good example. I don't know what you mean by dominion over. The truth is that we will both die and nothing can stop it. It is further true that if there is any life after death it is not observable to us. That makes any reference to any afterlife perforce pure conjecture.
As you have said reality is what it is regardless of our understanding of it or our desires about it and no amount of not wanting to die will preserve your conciousness once your physical brain ceases to function. (Unless of course you can demonstrate that conciousness can exist without a physical brain. I am unaware of any such example)
Clearly you were created through natural processes.
That does not necessitate a creator. You used the word creator specifically. You said "The creator not the creature" not "the natural processes not the creature".

Well there seems nothing more to be done here at present. (And this place is creepier than an episode of Scooby doo.) I propose we find the others and discuss our next move.

Only The Truth conquers time and death
Are time and death not part of reality then? Your definition of reality strays further and further from mine.
everything was made by and through The Truth.
How have you determined that reality made anything rather than things simply existing as part of reality with no act of creation necessary?

After ten or twenty minutes I turn to Snerp. Much as I hate to admit it you are right. This led, whatever afflicts him (cough.. vam.. cough, cough.. pire) seems only a symptom.

I join in his prayers beseeching Zud to take this man's confusion away that he may see a straight path to follow.

(I vote we rest at the windmill. A windmill is just as defensible as a shop and there ain't no vampires in the basement. That makes it better than anything I've seen in this town.)
