I wasn't offering it as a rational solution. It is a profoundly emotional situation after all. Both responses are absolutely correct. However I was just proposing it as a situation where suicide MIGHT be seen as a preferred alternative. Frankly joining Babs Gor and emasculating the bastard would probably be the preferred Orlanthi situation. Just make sure you have a healer handy so he doesn't die. Even then we're talking escalation city probably. But that's those wacky Orlanthi for you.
I definitely think dying for the good of others is the preferred solution for ending your own life among the Orlanthi.
