Aldric,
We are in agreement. Going around murdering people serves nothing but to undermine the authority of the proper. Life is a precious gift and there is potential from it; The forces of Visagalis have made themselves an enemy once, and hid behind two separate masks. One, a cleric, who tried to take what he wanted by force; and Two, a priest, a voice of reason trying to implore through manipulation that their cult was legitimate and needed aid. I'm simply saying, what if the whole thing was a ruse. If the Cleric had gotten what he wanted there was no guarantee that they wouldn't have rejoined forces immediately afterwards. With the cleric dead, then Lazarus was free to rule the entire order himself.
Things are never so simple as they seem. The cult of Visagalis wants something in the proper, and simply because one tomb doesn't have it; doesn't mean it still isn't around. The next time they pull something like that, people need to be prepared to not give second chances. I feel we are being manipulated; they are playing on the compassion of others and are setting up something far more sinister in the long term.
