In regards children, Cardinal Pride would not kill them either (enslave? Yes but he consider all children blank slates which can be painted and written upon so thus he would educate and train children despite their status in the society to upmost of their potential). Asmodeus ran orphanages educate children quite well and takes care of the children (even if child would be slave or sold to slavery, Cardinal Pride would give child a carrot; working as slave devoted manner can earn child freedom from slavery example).<br/><br/>Anyways as mentioned even if I favor being freelancer, I am not against being affiliated to one band or other if others feel group should be doing it. There are cons both being freelancer or be associated with a group of bandits.
