Sorry about the delayed responses but stuff comes up and I'm not often called upon in this thread so I'm slow to notice.
Ok, well my reasoning for Kayneth is that he wants to get a standing in the city and quickly so brute force is the best option. But yes basically Kayneth is going to be starting a press conference in order to say hi, I'd like to start dealing with nobles and such so I can get back to my own business. (Also who doesn't love noble tea parties?)
As for damage to Kayneth, uh while we do have a no kill rule I like to just go with the feel so do what you what, just be prepared that the more you may try to damage my characters the more I might bite back.
