Sorry Dan. Your going to have to give the word on this one as your
the only one who can actually speak for T'or. I realize that this
is a tricky political issue now because its already been done and
decisions cannot be reversed without a loss of face. *sigh* That
is why prior discussion is a good thing.

[Daniel Lawrence]  True... I did figure this out. As I have said, the process to
get to this decision was on shaky ground.. but the decision itself was not
unreasonable. But to complete the sequence, I have planned to run an
adventure for this T'orite and those whom would stay with him next session.
T'or is not a vengful diety seeking to disbar his adherents and priests, and
he will take action appropriate to this situation to try to steer this errant 
priest back to the path of light.

I personally think that what happened was right. Certainly there was some
question there and someone had to do something. I think maybe
future questions should be discussed among GMs first (with much
consulting of the actual rules which we are going by now).

[Daniel Lawrence]  Well... ruling by comitte would certainly be pretty
time consuming. I think perhaps it is a matter of my style while GMing to
make sure that the disciplined priest knows why these things occur, and
what to do to atone. If I had been asked about this situation, I would have
probably stressed the need of this, and made it clearer that this was an
in character action...... Not a personal vendetta as it seems some people might
be thinking.
