[QUOTE="bibbitybobbityboop, post: 402067, member: 44859"] While we on the outside can pass judgement all we want, the important question is whether Gweyr knew a better way to resolve the situation. I kind of doubt it. Plus, when you're faced with unyielding zealots who don't always even have common ground with the reality you inhabit, that narrows down even the best people's options by a lot. Maybe if Gweyr was a powerful wizard who could have done something like a mass sleep spell or a mass disenchantment against whatever mind control may have been involved, or some other set of similarly disabling but not destructive powers - but what she knew was how to intimidate and how to kill people, and the first option failed. Plus, someone like her was needed to deal with Tollus and his top minion in the first place. Also, as a person who's dealt with fist, rock, and knife assaults, I can confirm teens can have the strength and willful nature to be [I]really fucking dangerous[/I], especially in numbers. I presume teens and very-young adults are the 'youth' who got in the way; smaller children would have lacked the strength and stature to oppose the adults of the village in the first place. In a fantasy-medieval sort of setting, I'd expect a lot more of such youths to be a lot more dangerous, too; without magic on their side, Earth's medieval families couldn't afford not to make their children work, especially with the gains in strength and size children make after puberty. Nobles and royals were no exception, they simply learned different skills - including combat, using actual weapons of war. And one of this village's businesses [I]was[/I] logging, which builds up a lot of strength. Not that any of this was okay, but the situation Gweyr was in demanded immediate action. The only one willing and able to act didn't have a set of tools that could have led to a happy outcome, and some sort of response probably was merited. It's just a tragedy all around. [/QUOTE]
