Charity and skepticism were tearing his heart apart: The despair should have been terrible that Judge Kraken had to take his own life away, but how could God let a man commit suicide just when his companions were coming to him with the hope of controlling the Talor’s curse? His Ways have to be more mysterious than the New Hrestoli Church was proclaiming.

Aalmon shook his head in sorrow as Kraken's tale unfolded, occasionally 
muttering prayers to his strange foreign gods.

The Arrolian's eyebrows raised in surprise "Azhur, nobody could deny you 
have ambition and courage. What you suggest is one of the greatest and 
most difficult of tasks, even amongst famous heroes and saints how many 
have succeeded in what you suggest? I fear the best we can do for Kraken 
now is to see that he rests in peace and for us to follow his path, only 
doing so with a little more wisdom and understanding so we survive the 
experience."

"I had not known Wilkairtha could create the curse anew. The curse is 
ruled over by the moon so I think I should learn what Thaneora has to 
teach about it and make preparations. We have been told the path we must 
follow, we must prepare for the consequences of following it, although I 
can hope that I could limit those consequences to myself who could bear 
them better than most."

[OOC] Aalmon is working on the assumption that at least part of the 
curse is "lunacy" - lunar inspired madness. He is making the assumption 
that illumination will give him some measure of protection from the 
madness and so he is the best one to face the risks - he could of course 
be entirely wrong.
