"Killing the demon now is not necessary. There will be time enough for that later. And I suspect you'll prefer.. questioning him about his compatriots first."

"I agree, I'd rather we not kill a defenseless man." Anton said. His skin was pale. His wound was deep, but not fatal. He'd keep it from getting infected.

"why kill him anyway? he is not food, and he is not hurting us now."

Zaus brought the two half-demon's he had knocked out and tossed them next to the captured demon.

"There is no reason to kill them. The zealot just wants to kill because they are demons, and the thief wants money."

Lunas stepped forward and placed the tip of his sword under the chin of the nearest demon.

"It is not about whether they are demonic or not. It is a question of honor, and that I halt the defilement of the ground on which they walk."

"but we do not gain anything."

"Nothing but salvation," retorted Lunas, an edge in his voice.

"Salvation through murdering the helpless, brilliant." Wen said sardonically. Granted, he had murdered his share of innocents, but at least he wasn't hypocritical enough to claim he was doing the right thing.

A small sigh escaped his full, effeminate lips, and he rose a hand to his face as he shook his head, 'surrounded by zealots, idiots, cowards, and incompetents... We'll never survive this.'

"Whatever. Just kill them, or don't. The sooner we kill Nadil, or die the better."

Lunas shrugged and stuck his sword forward quickly, then cut to the side, sending a crimson arc through the air to land on the grass.

Lunas kicked the dying man over, then turned to the others and slowly started walking towards them.

"Salvation through the destruction of the unholy. Deceit is there best weapon, remember that."

He got to the first and started to pull his sword back.

Ah, religious zealots! This is going to be fabulous... Paige was still playing with her flame, "there. Demon parts all over hte place, and of course no valuable information gathered or anything else gained. Can we go now?"
