[gamingdotcom]

hold the fucking phone wyll. you're going to stand there and tell me you dont understand why this man is willing to sacrifice himself for someone else. YOU are saying this. man who... well. i have some questions. im going to have to sit and chew on this, sincerely... i dont know what to make of that

#like i understand why he says this but at the same time i dont at all #like i think he's right to say it sounds like nonsense like clearly something is up here #is wyll having a richard dawkins moment #like ok i get that he's getting a taste of the other end of martyrdom but at the same time of all people i think wyll would- #-have a certain amount of self-awareness in this situation #i guess he does pretty explicitly say that he doesnt think the reward is worth the sacrifice #but does wyll believe that gale is exclusively doing this for his goddess' forgiveness and not-- you know-- to save the lives of others? #i guess im operating with more information than he is at the moment-- right now they just want to get the tadpoles out #and theres this cult that is in their way #so the equation would essential just be gale's life + collateral for the other companions' lives #idk it just doesnt square for me bc gale is thinking about this as a utilitarian and like sure mystra will forgive him but #he seems pretty focused on the destroying the absolute bit #more information needed ig #the durgening
