Pick one or the other you weenie.

For the sake of it being a new page, here are the four options:

Quote:
1: Tell her that the killings were unjust, and offer to avenge her sisters (More Lawful)
2: Ask her if she'd be willing to pay you to kill these Chaosmen (More Evil)
3: Ask her if she'd be willing to pay you to kill these Chaosmen... and then don't, but lie and say you did (More Chaotic and Evil)
4: Mourn with her, but do not offer her vengeance. Blood cannot repay blood (Neutral)

Option 2. Sometimes, you have to pay for a professional to make it right.

The killings were surely unjust, but why is it our obligation to make things right? Ask her what her vengeance is worth, and if worthwhile, see it done.

(Option 2.)

Surely our immortality makes us aware that others are not so fortunate. Life is precious, and worth mourning the loss of, but also worth minimizing the deaths we cause. Option 4.

Option 4. Exacting sweet vengeance would be nice in the short term, but it wouldn't bring her sisters back.

Option 4, yo. Not in the mood to go around avenging some random people.

If these Yowling Schnauzers or whatever get in our way then we'll take 'em down proper, but we kind of have more pressing issues on our hands, don't we?

Leave it as-is.

In a place like sigil, we can't go around avenging every wrong doing. But a little chink could change the equation.

Option 2.

Kalir (True Neutral) = 1, 4
Knurek () = 1, 2
Mightyblue () = 1, 1
Mogri (Chaotic Neutral) = 2, 2
MoneyCityManiac (Lawful Evil) = 4, 2
Mr Sensible (Neutral Good) = 1, 1
Olli T (Lawful Evil) = 2, 1
Phil (Chaotic Good) = 1, 4
Raven (Neutral Evil) = 4, 4
Soren Highwind (Neutral Good) = 1, 4
Taeryn (Chaotic Good) = 2, 2

Option = Total
Option 1 = 4 votes
Option 2 = 11 votes
Option 3 = 3 votes
Option 4 = 11 votes

I really want to see Mr. Sensible lose every single vote until he, alone, manages to make you do something really stupid.

Can I second this idea?

As for the actual vote, any ethical inclinations towards not, y'know, going around killing random dudes are being overriden by a strong narrative sense that we're going to lose out on precious, precious story text if we just ignore the matter (whereas Dak'kon is busy helping us fight and it's just as well to keep your coworkers happy on the job). And it's not chaotic enough to all go with chaos all the time, so let's go with Option One.
(Besides, if she had any money she'd have spent it on mercenaries who knew what they were doing already. That monument must have been there a while.)

Oh, but shoot! I missed that he won the last vote. Too bad. It's up to MoneyCityManiac or Gerad now.

I must admit that I was trying to get my vote power as high as possible. It's about to reset, though! Quick, people, vote for option 2!

The following people have not won a single vote yet:

MoneyCityManiac (4 votes)
Raven (4 votes)
Falselogic (3 votes)
JFink (2 votes)
Kylie (2 votes)
Loki (1 vote

Gerad won the very first vote; the difference is that he's voted in every option, while others above haven't.

Option 4 currently leads by two votes!

I'm never going to win! For two reasons one I'm evil and two if my choice was winning I'd have to change it just to be chaotic!

"After much study, I've devised a theory of the laws that govern chaos. For example: whatever I predict you'll do, I can expect you to do the opposite."

"Sod that, piker!"

"Does my theory upset you?"

"Of course! You greybeards're always tryin' to box up the rest of us with your barmy rules!"

"It seems my theory needs some revision. I predicted you'd be upset."
