Marichia: Marauders may access Almati freely and check for kizokoo.
My reply was specifically in response to Naema suggesting that mara get no KL access.

Only, they have to lie at the temples. For you, that should be easier than for me, because, as an inhabitant of the sharük, I feel bound to our four pillars, and truth is one of them. Moreover, rangers' precepts bind me to a friendly stance towards the cults, and lying them in the face is not really friendly. So my conflict is more severe than yours.
I would like both of them being resolved, by a hidden path to our headquartes for us, and a teleport for the marauders. As your ethical yardstick seems to be more flexible than ours, I tend to consider your conflict less pressing. Or does it put a load on your conscience to brazenly lie to a kami or kami priest/ess?
I think the mara yardstick is more rigid by virtue of the fact that we don't have to/want to appease all. Rangers should receive co-operation from the temples- maras shouldn't. And again, depending on how one chooses to play it, I would dispute the notion that all mara have no conscience about lying- "mara" doesn't equal "liar" in my book- some are honest to a fault. I'd actually rather not have to talk to the temples at all :) The simple fact is that the game mechanics shouldn't be forcing us to the temples in the first place.
