The Trickster can not be "evil", can not be innately diabolical, but he can still act poorly and deserve recompense.

The Trickster ought to have interceded. As Seth asserted, to act as a willful bystander to something you suspect to hurt others is immoral. No, we as men, wielding nothing but the lowly laws of men cannot hold all higher beings accountable for their inaction. But if a "being of power" terrorizes man, and they are within our grasp, we are compulsed by our duty to each other to try. Or at least be more judicious with who we take counsel from.

According to Lady Darkwood, the creature is not "on the prowl" but currently dormant.

I stand humbled and grateful, both for the correction and that what emerged from the ritual is not, at the moment, a danger to those we serve.

But the Trickster did intercede. When it got out of control they stepped in to try to stop it.

George said in a posting above: "In the end even the Trickster wasn't able to put a stop to the ritual once it started."

They tried to stop it and couldn't. How should they have interceded in a ritual that was never done before and they didn't know the outcome?

People are trying to accuse them of knowing the outcome and letting it happen anyway, in all my experience with the Trickster, they have never shown an ability to see the future.

I ask any who are advocating for stripping power from the Trickster, or blaming him in anyway:
-If you didn't know the outcome of this ritual beforehand.
-It was something that was never performed before.
What would you have done? There was no evidence that something this catastrophic would have happened.

We as Travance, have done dangerous rituals never before done in the past, many of which could have/should have killed everyone, or ended the world, We didn't speak up then when we didn't know the result. Why does the Trickster(who does not know the future) deserve more scrutiny than we do?

...um. Can we go back to the 'we did rituals that could have ended the world' bit, real quick?

Cobus,
I don't remember the details of them as this was many years ago, probably close to a decade, as well as some that I heard about that happened before my time in Travance. All I remember is the warnings that we had right before we started it.

Alright cheers, just making sure I'd read that right and not in fact gone mad.
