This is all water under the bridge and McGuinness is right; their deaths were necessary for plot reasons. But if we are going to revisit this it shouldn't have been prisoners dying in the night. It should have been the inquisitors attached to the convoy. All of them. Every night. With their throats cut. If the Temple wants to play hard ball ....

But Merlin is too nice a person for that and has not yet convinced himself that those taking reprisals are responsible for them, not those who took the action which occasioned the reprisals.

True it is past history, but should be considered should anyone else fall into the clutches of the Inquisition.

So we're at the "fight to the death, because surrender is torture and death" presentation.

Yep. Been there for quite some time. Why else do you think the wounded and infirm at Aivahntstyn handed the Temple boys the surprise they did?

No he didn't, but need their DNA. So mass use is probally out.
