I will reply at some point. I'm on a 13-hour shift today so I'll reply when I have chance.

I always enjoy your writing and I like the way you bring so much emotion into a scene.
I tapped a little into the darker side of Hercules here, the brutal protector of life willing to utterly destroy a threat to himself and others in an entirely monstrous manner before moving on.
To onlookers, it's horrific, but to one such as Hercules in this situation, it was merely the quickest and safest way to end a threat.
This is a part of Hercules' kefi. But not a part he'd happily talk about.
I didn't realize such a side of him existed. So either you wrote about it and I missed it or this is the first time it's come out. And I can relate with what you mean about this being a rare side of a character. I didn't consciously write the scene to bring out Herc's dark side; I wrote it because it was the story and I didn't want to start it off with Herc just being a prisoner in the chair alone. I mean, what else is Herc going to do? Wait for his fate to come to him? That doesn't sound very Greek to me. =)
-Cap'n. I find it rather nice of you to take time from your break at work to answer to a role-playing game. Thank you! =)
