I've been thinking about this decision we're left to make about Morgana Drummond. Sheesh, talk about a toughie, right? I mean, why NOT kill Drummond dead? Sounds easy-peasy to me! Dorchacht's Coven is even preparing the pyre and everything. Yay, fire!

[Henry busts out in a raucous laugh.]

You have to admire that initiative. Oh, by the by, you can't resurrect bones without the body stuffs, I guess. Reanimation ONLY. Trust me on that.

So anyway, they say they're gonna seal away her ashes. But I can't help but wonder if there's reeeeally any way to guarantee that she won't be resurrected after we burn her to bones at the stake. Imagine how awesome it'd be, facing off against an UNDEAD Drummond, revived by her necromancer lackeys! Nya ha ha! Guess we'd better hope that pile of ashes doesn't end up in the wrong hands, huh?

Who are you guys gonna side with? Dorchacht's death sentence, or Aefenglom's curious Coven?

We're on the same page. For the record, I don't think she should be killed, even if her permanent death could be assured. What we can learn from her is too valuable to just throw away, and a hand-off to Dorchacht's Coven is always an option after we've tortured and terrified her into revealing everything she knows.

[morbide]

You mean keep her for intel, then pass her back to Dorchacht for the killing? I hadnt even thought of that. That would satisfy pretty much everybody, wouldn't it? Aefenglom gets their witchy insight, and Dorchacht gets theri revenge kill! Sounds good to me. ASide from the potential necromancy problems, which could be dealt with by not sealing away the ashes.

I wonder why we can't do all of that stuff. This is why I try not to think too much about orders... Things start looking stupider and stupider.

[hearthebell]

Compromise is usually pretty easy, so long as no one involved is that committed to getting 100% of what they want.

Obviously, that's fairly rare.

[morbide]

Sooo guess since both Covens know what they want, we can't do them both. Bummer. It'd be so much easier if they could share.

Maybe as a joke we could give each of them a half of her body. Problem solved!

[hearthebell]

If King Solomon ended up here, that would doubtless be his solution to the issue. A bluff, perhaps, but ultimately a solution.

A few hours, and half of the standard thumbscrews, and I could take her to task.

[morbide]

[Who is King Solomon? Henry just doesn't know.]

Problem is, I dunno if she'd be too chatty... Unless we gave the TOP half to Aefenglom. Sure there's gotta be some spell to keep her alive long enough to have a chat.

Still, I dunno if she's the chatty type to start with. Maybe Miss Nessie would end up with a load of nothing and an angry mob.

[L would be happy to explain, even if it exasperates him that certain references aren't as universal as he's been brought up to understand them to be.

Hopefully, context is enough to at least suggest what he means.]

There are spells to compel someone to speak against their will. It could be circumvented.
