Finally, Astrid REALLY got on her nerves with that seductive tone and inneundo about 'watching and admiring'.įor my second who I created to join them, she figured out pretty rapidly from all the immense effort Astrid had gone to setting up this situation without actually harming her that she was experiencing a recruitment pitch and initiation ceremony in one efficient package.
When Maro asked her to kill them all she agreed, partly because ridding the world of assassins seemed a killing you could term necessary, and partly because she worried about the possibility of reprisal attacks in vengence for Astrid. So from her perspective, killing Astrid was her only choice. Part of her did want to kill the bitchy goodwife, but the mention of six children and no husband made her worry about what would happen to those six children if their mother was killed. When she woke up in that shack and talked to the three prisoners, she decided she didn't want to kill the mercenary because he was so frightened and she didn't want to kill the cat because she kind of admired his bravery and wit under the conditions.
My first hated killing people and would refuse to do so unless necessary, but she made an exception for Grelod because she liked children. So far I've only created two characters who started those questlines.
