Warnings: Implications and possible discussion of slavery and sexual exploitation, planning to inflict violence on a (deserving) alchemist

You guys saw that alchemist asking for help "bringing back" his wife, right?

Well, he didn't. He created two new wives instead. You've probably seen them attacking the populace.

I don't know if he's ordering them to do this or if they need to feed on men or what, but if they don't please him he'll kill them and make new ones. I don't think it's a good idea to let someone run around creating and discarding living things on a whim like that.

Also, if we end up having to kill his creations he's just going to keep making new ones.

Ranma and I are going after him, but we could use some help. If you want to join us you can meet us at (They give a location far enough from the alchemist's house as to not arouse suspicion or set off any potential guards.)

(ooc: The log for attacking the alchemist is here!)

[telepathicignorance]

Agreed.

(They could probably use another telepath.)

If you want you can meet up with us. Current plan is we'll have a few people lure away the wives while everyone else goes after the alchemist.

[psionicmolotov]

Reasonable

Do you want the kill yourself

[ Listen, this is an important distinction to make in advance. ]

[telepathicignorance]

(For a brief moment, they see an entire different question and feeze.

But ...no, that's not what he's asking.)

I'm not going to kill him but I'm not going to lose any sleep if someone else decides to.

(It's practical. If he dies he can't pass on or sell the knowledge of how to do this.

Speaking of...)

We should make sure to destroy any notes he has on how to create these beings.

[psionicmolotov]

Dont think he will stop if not killed He already did it once

Sensible
What to do with the creations? You will handle that?

[telepathicignorance]

Putting him in a cell for the rest of his life would stop him too.

(And maybe there's a part of them that would like that, watching him suffer and waste away with time instead of giving the mercy of a quick end. Let him see how it feels to be denied freedom.)

It depends on what's causing them to attack the populace and whether they can be made to stop.

I can kill them if I have to.

[psionicmolotov]

Reasonable

If he escapes or has sympathizers who will retrieve him will you continue to cage him or chase him down. The problem will be solved permanently if he is dead

[telepathicignorance]

I also wouldn't trust the authorities in charge of keeping him not to give leniency in exchange for information on his experiments.

(It's what happens in their world.)

[psionicmolotov]

You speak from experience

[ That's too specific, to his mind, to be a hypothetical question. ]

[telepathicignorance]

I wasn't alive for it, but there were a lot of war criminals that got pardoned in exchange for their research.

(A partial truth. That's a historical incident that was likely a start for a lot of it, but it was a later scientist who helped father the Re-Gene project, and similar people are funneled to the farm and other projects still today.)

[psionicmolotov]

That is the way of authority
A prisoner is also a resource and even then the corpse can be useful

[ Use every part, as they say, until there is no more use to be had. He has softened somewhat on that mercenary mindset, but he needs only think of Menzoberranzan, and other places he has known - under the surface and over it - to understand that this is the way of the world. ]

[psionicmolotov]

We should also dispose of any corpses

[telepathicignorance]

Another reason not to trust the government.

(Seriously: fuck authority.)

Could sink them in the ocean.
