Draiss shrugged. "I am Choice. Destruction is easiest, though not my only option. I gave them Choice back. What they did with it once they had a chance to take it back is beyond me now. The ones that went with their undead overlords threw it away again. The overlords... well... having a demilich or three that owes me a favor isn't a bad thing."<br/><br/>He grinned. "And knowing exactly where to find them, and their weaknesses, won't hurt. Besides, the battles would have been exhausting, without simply blasting them with divine power, and would have shown far too much of my abilities. Cards need to be kept close to the chest and in the hand for the end game. Every card I play must be weighed against future needs and problems."<br/><br/>He stretched, and then rolled his shoulders. "Of course, showing I could portal an entire mountain with relative ease was a mid value 'card,' though much lower than my combat abilities."
