Important Notices

Re: Important Notices

Thanks for letting us know mate, I think Firewind is unable to make it as well might be worth postponing till the following Saturday.

Re: Important Notices

I may or may not have been roped into working this Saturday. I'll let you guys know tomorrow for sure. If I am, we'll sadly have to postpone again. My coworker's father passed away last night and he's out for a week to mourn and make preparations. In the meantime, I'm pretty sure they're making me work his hours.

On the up side... more money for Christmas.

On the down side... no D&D ><

Re: Important Notices

I'm good for this Saturday 1pm PST - 5pm PST or 4pm EST - 8pm EST if we are down.

Re: Important Notices

I can make it, it's just next week I can't.

Re: Important Notices

As far as I can tell that means we're not playing this week. People's schedules just aren't lining up for it.

Yeah, it's looking like I have a busy day ahead. Wouldn't be able to make it.

Re: Important Notices

Just to de rail back to topic, are we playing tonight?

If that many people have conflicting schedules, we might be better off postponing again. Looks like Armando, TM and you all have issues with times... and unless you can all find a comfortable balance, I'd say we hold off until you do.

Re: Important Notices

I think at the very least he leans evil.


That said, I'm not sure if your character has actually crossed the threshold into the Evil spectrum, but your character is definitely toeing the line.

I would agree, leaning and toeing the line. Obviously what Yyg says is final and I'm cool with it. But he posted the alignment change post "to provide a discussion topic for the coming week" so that's all I'm doing is discussing it. I agree with the points you and Fire have made though.

I thought we were skipping this week, but I am available until 5pm PST / 8pm PST.

Re: Important Notices

What's your opinion though Cid? Would you say my character is of the evil alignment?

I think at the very least he leans evil.
So far your character has:
* Killed a party member over a paltry amount of gold
* Taken perverse pleasure in firing bolts up a cat's ass
* Shown no hesitation or qualms about harvesting said cat's testicles while it was still alive

You didn't do yourself any favors on that critical failure either. A simple in-character "oh shit" or calling for Theron to come help Lili would have gone a long way, but it played out as though your character was very casual about accidentally killing another party member and not at all upset by it.

That said, I'm not sure if your character has actually crossed the threshold into the Evil spectrum, but your character is definitely toeing the line. Said lines tend to be fuzzy however, which is why the DM has to arbitrate.

Credit where credit is due: stuff like spontaneously coming up with "Dragon Riders" falls into Chaotic pretty nicely.

Re: Important Notices

Again. I haven't done it to you yet. I'm waiting and watching everyone. But to be clear. These decisions aren't up for discussion.

Re: Important Notices

He also hasn't chastized the rogues for their thefts...

I can't remember any time the Rogues have stolen stuff that I (me, not Theron) was actually there and that Theron had enough Perception to notice. But for whatever it's worth, we have a klepto Fighter, 2 Rogues and a trigger-happy Wizard. We've had 2 deaths in the party. I have enough WIS to know not to rock the boat unnecessarily; the group's already at risk of shrinking or turning against itself.

I did stop Mezlo from looting from the temple at my own cost, and I've been taking prisoners whenever possible instead deeming myself fit to judge whether they should live or not. I'd argue I'm going above and beyond the law there, because I doubt Human and Dwarven laws extend much protections to Goblins.

I also can't recall actually having tortured anyone. The reasoning behind casting Early Judgment on high-ranking goblins is to give the soon-to-be-dead one last chance to repent, where logic and words would normally fail. There's nothing like a vision of your afterlife to scare you straight.

Re: Important Notices

I took it to PMs. Why don't you take your own advice and do the same.

Re: Important Notices

So much drama...

This is probably the sort of thing that should be discussed in PMs first rather than sprung all of a sudden.

That said, Mezlo you're overreacting. If you know your character concept and how you want to play your character then you should just play your character accordingly. The alignment will drop into place on its own(via DM interpretation, but still...).

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if my character's alignment ended up changing at some point during the campaign. My original character sheet had him penciled in as Neutral Evil, but was scaled back a bit during revision to True Neutral. That was largely due to the stigma that comes with the Evil spectrum of the alignment, but it's worth noting that "evil" is not necessarily the same as "villain". Point being, I know how I want to play my character and at the end of the day that's what matters, because alignment is just a vague summary rather than something that dictates how your character must behave.

Re: Important Notices

Well we joked about it but I think if someone actually did put the old woman into his sack, I think Theron and Lili at the very least would have raised some kind of objection.

That said, my character wouldn't have objected to gagging her given that she was constantly giving away our position.
