You know what we really are?

Crusaders. Or rather Spiraders.

Not in a good way either. We crashed on this planet, figured out there's a core that we might be able to harvest energy from, and kill EVERYTHING between us and the core.
We slay beasts, trying to defend themselves and find some dinner and raise their pups.
We murder Gremlins, simply doing their job trying to defend the core from anyone who threatens, because who knows what the core really is?
We destroy constructs, who are basically doing the same thing.
We banish Undead, poor lost souls forced to suffer for eternity until some knight burns/bludgeons/freezes/slices/shocks/blasts to true death.
We kill fiends, who are also doing their job to resurrect ancient beings and push buttons, and who really don't like it when their work is interrupted.
We melt slimes who are trying to reproduce like every other organism.

Think about it. It's not like they would bother us if we just stayed in Haven. Sure, you got the occasional chroma whelp who wanders into things, but come on. The Gremlins only built the Roarmulus Twins to stop us from reaching the core. The core is probably something really dangerous that we really should not have access to.
Have you ever stopped to think about the countless gremlins you have killed in cold blood, just looking for a BLOODY SHIELD?!?!?

At least we don't kill their babies. We're not monsters after all.

Have you ever noticed how everything in the clockworks is trying to kill us first?

How many time have you hit a gun puppy in the chops while it wasn't looking at you?

Yeah, but it would have killed you.

Pretend I wrote something clever here

A) Everything in the clockworks (with 2 exceptions)will kill you if you give it the chance.
The gremlins have an organized society, and could engage in peace talks if they wanted to.
Constructs, beasts, and slimes are mostly not sentient, and the few exceptions are actively malevolent.
I fail to see why you consider sending the undead off to whatever afterlife they believe in a bad thing.
If fiends didn't attack us unproved, we would leave them alone too.

B) The gremlins have been planning to attack Haven (that's what the twins were for,despite what you claim), escalating their war with us to also target the non-combatant strangers, and the snipes.

C) Echo stones prove the core is benevolent.

I had to...

The mewcat was just sitting there...
But It was in a Locked Gate area...there was no other way...

I did things Im not proud of down in the clockworks.
Some may even shun me for the things Ive done down there to the little critters.
-
But I claim it was doing my duty...
...They never told us to do any of "this" back in Training.

u.u We're all going to pay for our sins on this rock.

They attack us NOW because they are accustomed to us being here as a threat and strike on sight. So it all depends on the FIRST KNIGHT who landed, who dealt the FIRST BLOW. He/she probably fell into a deep sleep long ago...

Most Constructs are designed by Gremlins, so obviously Gremlins are using them. They could even stop Constructs from invading you, so I guess you should add Constructs as an exception, too.

Might help if you read the recon modules.
