My players started exploring the caves last session.

They encountered Brissa Santos, Vanthus' lover, and even remembered who she was. Yay!

Anyway, the cleric of Trickery never likes to simply attack and deal damage in a fight and would rather apply some trickery to change up the combat.

In the middle of the fight with Brissa, he Altered Self himself to appear as Vanthus in order to get her to either stand down, or be distracted enough not to crew on the druid.

Unfortunately, the other characters didn't understand what he was doing and stepped aside, allowing her to make a direct beeline to give the cleric/fake Vanthus a nice sloppy, disease-ridden french kiss.

The cleric promptly ran away and jumped into the water, both to hide from Brissa and to wash off that lingering dirty feeling...

It surely didn't help dispel that horrible mental image when I puckered up and lunged at him in an impromptu roleplaying moment.

Hee hee!

Poor Brissa, she was ultimately such a pawn...

My group tends to use disguise and illusion rather heavily, too. I can see this happening all too well. :)
