[VOTE] Do we kill Millie (KOAX)?

Now that we know the difference between killing them outright and doing the ritual, I'm even more on the Delphox's side and want to do the ritual without killing any of the stalkers beforehand...

Well, it still helps to at least KNOW who the Stalkers are. Maybe we can restrain them? Or something?

I think there is a key difference between our situation and Adis's that we are missing. The Key difference is that, while he was a preist, Adis was ultimately a normal Pokemon up against supernaturally empowered entities and thus could not even consider assassination. As Emissaries, we are supernaturally empowered entities, we would be on even footing in a straight fight (to our knowledge) and could theoretically do a localized 'purify' or somesuch with what powers Mew gave us, methinks.

That being said, I'll defer to the majority. We know who she is and what she asked of us, though...Here's another good question, however. Do we tell someone so that she can be restrained in a county prison? Or do you think that such an act would be equivalent to killing her anyways?

Oh, boy. Well, I imagine if we did that, we'd probably want someone on hand to make sure that the Stalker doesn't go berserk and try to break out... Which means someone would be out of commission for a while, so the rest of us can go off and try for the Sin Purge.

I don't know that there is exactly a difference between killing them by assassination and killing them by performing the ritual. Sure, we are going on the word of a religious Pokemon who thinks the ritual will save their souls from damnation. Who says they won't be saved from damnation by outright assassination? How would she know the ritual will save their souls while killing them won't? Even if Adis told her that, how could he possibly know that?

Not to mention that no one has actually killed a Stalker before, so we don't know if their soul will be damned or saved. That's something we can only learn by trial and error.

I agree. And what's to say that those killed by the stalkers don't get their souls damned too? Then we're keeping someone alive who we KNOW is a Stalker just so we can save her soul, while she goes around killing others and not saving theirs? IMO, she has to go right now. IF we can complete the ritual in time to save the others, then sure, by all means. But right now, we don't, and keeping her alive for her own safety is throwing everyone else's life away, potentially. We're all lucky WE all can't be killed because we have a magical barrier. But what about everyone else?

Where have we seen a jail? If someone wanted, they could attempt to restrain her in, say, that apartment behind the iron door, but that's torture, right? She may not be able to get out, but she'll go insane in there and maybe even end up killing herself from insanity. After all, if the vessel is trapped, the demon will have no use for her anymore and kill the host, right? And it would certainly take her soul. I guess we could try, but what if it doesn't work and she kills someone instead?

Like the others said, we have no way of actually knowing that this 'soul redemption' thing is even legitimate. And if it is...how could Adis know?

Neo himself said that the killings will not slow down. I go back to my original comment of if we end up finding out everything about the ritual first, to do it, but if we find all six stalkers first, then we go ahead and kill them. Though I'd rather do the ritual in general.

I think we'd all rather do the ritual... But like you said, if that's not an option, and restraining Stalkers as we find them isn't either, then we need to assassinate them until we can use the ritual. As sad as it is.
