<em>The Vrock shrugs, making a sweeping gesture with his clawed hand and long arm.<br/><br/>"Knowledge is knowledge, mistress. What we choose to do with it determines its nature. You humans claim that torture is inherently evil, and, admittedly, often it serves to sate sadistic urges, but you claim what makes it evil is the hurting and maiming of individuals, even if they are evil themselves. Yet, at the same time, don't your heroes go and kill individuals like that? What makes keeping them alive and in pain worse, when their spirits would go to the lower planes in any case?<br/><br/>"And I expect you will, at least if you're taking along Reaver and Nightshade. I can't say why you'd bother to bring along the other two, but I won't complain, given it'll give me a bit of peace and quiet. Oh, and anything on their dark gods, particularly Cyric, would be appreciated."<br/><br/>Deathsatan smiles as she laughs, and the cunning in it reminds her that, despite the advantages of his rather docile-seeming, knowledge-loving personality, he nevertheless has retained his more sinister aspect, despite her best efforts, always coldly, almost cruelly evaluating each situation.</em>
