[ Chidi has been contemplating it ever since his arrival—what does the fact that people have powers here mean for the state of ethics in this world? Are people being responsible with what they’ve been given? Is everyone here like him, a person who could never have dreamed of having these types of powers in the worlds he came from?
In the end, he makes a decision that he needs to get more input before deciding. The communicator he’s been given is familiar technology, and he has no problem navigating its interface. He turns on the voice function and begins to broadcast. ]
I have a question for everyone here. Actually, a few questions. I’d like to get everyone’s input, if I can—don’t feel like you’re bothering me with your answer. I want to know everyone’s experience with this and everyone’s opinion.
First, a little background on me. My field of expertise is in the field of ethics and moral philosophy. I have written a lot about this subject, and I’d like to start a new study based on how these fields may be different in this world than in the one I was trained in.
So, here are my questions:
One: Do you personally come from a world where people have the kinds of powers that they have here? Furthermore, did you have powers yourself?
Two: If so, what were the moral and ethical implications of people deciding to use these powers, or choosing not to use them? And if not, do you feel a moral and ethical obligation to use your powers to help people?
And three: Do you consider yourself a good person?

Where was I? Oh, right.
For nearly forty years, no one knew exactly what had happened. There was a strange new moon in the sky, monstrous dragons bigger than anything we'd ever seen appeared and claimed vast territories, killing off many of ours, and the wizards and clerics lost their access to their spells. A new war entirely began, with the intent of forcing everyone to follow a new god, the One God. [A snort.] It was Takhisis, of course, having regained her strength.

There was a final battle, in the city of Sanction. Until then, I and my people had stayed uninvolved, but I decided that we would assist the elven and Solamnic forces in defeating her army. Shortly after arriving and joining the fight, I and my general were teleported to the large temple just outside of the city, along with several others of note. She wanted both her champions and her enemies to watch as she was finally able to fully enter the mortal plane and become invincible.
Unfortunately for her, the other gods had finally found where she'd hidden the world, and came to exact their punishment.

I believe that you must have come away from that pretty convinced of your own worth and abilities, then.

[He says it in a matter-of-fact tone. It wasn't that he was special in some way; it was only because of his title. He continues after a several second pause.]
I've heard it asked, "How do you kill a god?" The answer is quite simple, really. Make them mortal.
And that is exactly what happened. But, because of the balance, her opposite also had to become mortal. He walked out of that temple. She did not.
