Ever fought a Dark Elf? I did… and beat it to death.
Oh, Gustavus. Poor, stupid Gustavus. You were quick to leap into decisions, wanting to do only what was right. What others would consider the right thing to do. Alas, doing what was asked, and doing what you wanted was two different options. And doing what was asked and expected of you, despite being right, got you killed. Mourn not for Gustavus, as his soul will surely be well cared for in the hereafter.
