My experience of the author and his associate as he called him are that they are nothing but a pair of opportunist thieves. They moved into my village claiming to be the downtrodden, only to rob us blind the moment they were fully trusted. It's quite rich to see them playing heroes of justice
As for the nice story, They did much the same when they were part of my village. Sat around lapping up our produce without doing any work themselves.
EDIT: So now i have read most of it. Yes they stole A LOT of materials from CHROMOZONE before they fled to CITY OF GEARS. I cant comment on the other party but i know for a fact that Lillith is a guy who likes to manipulate people. the story the other party told to Az sounds like a carbon copy of how they behaved in Chromozone.
