No. That would suggest that Cambions are anything other than untrustworthy demon-worshipping mass murderers. The Inquisition would lose a lot of momentum if people begin to go: "Hey, these Cambion fellows might not be that bad!"

But think how much momentum the Inquisition would gain if people went: "Look at that! They're so holy that they can even turn devils, the most evil things our hypothetical minds can think of, into followers of our god! Praise the Inquisition!"

Leave the conversions to the Holy See. The Inquisition is an army, not a priesthood. Also, if they start converting the demons it becomes immoral to slay them, making said army redundant. Best case scenario, they would be reduced to only killing the demons who refuse to convert, but anyone can pay lipservice to a religion. Especially if the only alternative is death. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Ahhhh, fogeddaboutit! You just need to learn how to open your heart to those around you, and be willing to try and find the good in everybody! Hasn't Disney taught you anything?

I can't speak for the Inquisition.

As for the sling, historically, sometimes molten lead was poured into holes poked into the sand, and once cooling down to a hardened state, the hot projectiles was hurled with a sling. The Romans even had specially-designed tweezers to remove slingshot out of skulls and shins. The prospect of having an extremely hot hunk of freshly-molten lead imbedded into your skull or shinbone sounds painful.

You're forgetting that Disney doesn't exist in this world. And considering the time period, what fairy tales do exist have morbid and/or disturbing endings. I'm simply giving you things from the Inquisition's perspective. They don't want and don't need to recruit demons, and believe doing so is counterproductive. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Chasers, have you heard the original Little red Ridinghood?

The one we hear is a watered down version for children, back when it was first created, it needn't have been censered.

Its all about a woman being chaste. The woods that she goes into are isolated, like the back alleys that young women go into before they are * Word Redacted*

The big bad wolf, at best is a symbol for man's apetite for *word redacted*

With Granny dead, there is no one there to protect little red riding hood and so the Wolf Eats her, or more specifically he *words redacted*


It is a warning to women to be chaste until marriage, or face the consequences.

For the time, forcing yourself on a woman would get the woman and not the man prosecuted for adultery, the penalty for the crime was death. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy! =)

If you fail to get a soldier to extract before time runs out, but you got the VIP out, you win the ission but your troop gets captured and you don't get mission loot. It sucks hard.

I haven't played the game, but I'm guessing the following is also an issue:

You just have one last objective to complete the mission - all you have to do is walk into an area. But then you run out of time just before entering the zone, and even though are well within sight of everyone there, the game still considers it a failure.

That tends to be a theme throughout strategy games in general.

One square.

One ******* square, but no, no extraction for the veteran that had to save everyone else's asses. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

Well fine, but good luck with your hunt for Glenn; 'cause if you ain't a devil, you ain't on my level! Woooooord! Cambion out!

As in the version where they fill the wolf with rocks and drown him? Or is there another, more original version I don't know about?
