You were mistaken in the meeting, and it is only out of respect for order that I held my tongue. Casting spells that damage enemies and spells that enhance the abilities of one’s allies in harming those enemies are similar paths that reach the same destination. I contributed to the destruction of our enemies in the defense of our kin in a way different from what you consider to be the ‘best’ way, but I served my kin none-the-less. You gravely are mistaken in believing that I care only for myself. If I did, I would have stood idle or simply deserted my kin for the safety of Upper. I too have risked my life to save my kinsmen, just as I have stood beside them unflinchinly in the face of almost certain death.

I joined our kin outside of the Clanhome because I had purchased a few silver-tipped bolts from a man in Lower. I was not expecting heavy resistance, and I thought it would be a suitable experiment to test their use against the were-creatures below.
