An Eight-Legged Lesson

Summary
Zenos Silverbeak has been called down to the tavern for an interview. He does not know who he is meeting or why, but it appears to be related to the last quest he took.

Background
In his last quest Zenos had felt a pair of eyes watching him and it appears that now that person wants to meet him.

The Interview
Upon entering booth 8, Zenos found himself face to face with his interviewer, Duren. Asks a few ordinary questions, Duren places a spider on the table and asks Zenos if he "could" kill it. To which Zenos responds by killing the spider. Duren intrigued, then placed two more spiders on the table and asked Zenos if he "could" also kill these two spiders. At this point Duren questions why Duren was having him kill spiders. Duren responds by saying that he never told Zenos to kill the spiders, but only asked if he were able too. Duren concludes the interview with a story and a lesson for Zenos, leaving the spiders with him.

Aftermath
Zenos is left with a jar of spiders and a question to ponder.

Game Quotes
Duren:

Duren watched as the spider began to eat the smashed one.

"Its cruel but efficient..."

"You know they have a story back where I come from. Its about two brothers who were hunters. The first brother was a locally renowned for his skill, he held an impressive count for the amount of beasts he had hunted and brought back for the village to eat. The second brother had always lived in the shadow of his sibling, he soon became determined to hunt more beasts than his brother ever could, but he could never keep up."

Duren flipped through his pages of notes.

"Many years passed and the brothers died. Their souls met waiting to be judged and when the time came they stood before the court. The judge pointed at the first brother and said, you may ascend to heaven. He pointed at the second brother you shall descend to hell for killing many beasts. The brothers were shocked and argued with the judge. The brothers argued that if anything the first brother should be the one to go to hell after all he had killed the most during his life."

Duren watched as the other spider ate the smashed one.

"And do you know what the judge said?"

Zenos:

"The first brother killed so his village could eat, the second brother killed for baseless recognition?"

A flash of seriousness came to his face, but it vanished instantly.

Duren:

"Close.. he said a person who kills for them self, understands why life is a gift. But a person who kills because of an other, does not understand why life is a gift. In other words a life is precious, it should not be taken with so little thought."

"I think that was the last question on the interview."
