Commentary for August 2, 2020: I’ve discussed characters like Eon and Delta in terms of their approximate D&D alignments before. I think of them as both being essentially Neutral Good, but with Eon leaning towards Lawful Good and Delta leaning towards Chaotic Good. If Delta were the one on the ledge here, I think she’d have probably kicked Wargaz straight off, rather than try to save him. And do you know what? I think she’d have been right to it. In the end, it’s what Eon had to do anyway, because Wargaz tried to kill him the minute he let his guard down, and he should have expected that. Now it’s not that Eon thought Wargaz had any good in him or could be redeemed, so much as Eon simply will not kill a helpless enemy -- no matter what they have done or how evil they are. If he thinks combat is over, Eon will always try to save them and take them alive. I’m not sure what his endgame was, really, and perhaps he didn’t know either, but saving Wargaz would mean restraining him and taking him prisoner. Perhaps they’d tie him up and leave him here while they deal with Kari-Ya and then come back for him later? They could hardly take him with them, because if he got loose in the throne room, that’s another ally on Kari-Ya’s team for them to deal with. But Eon wasn’t thinking about what happens next; he was thinking about what the right thing to do in the moment was. And like I said, I don’t believe trying to save this reprehensible murderer even was the right thing to do. The world is simply better off without some people in it, something that Eon’s sense of honour can sometimes blind him to. |
