Evil Masters come at meeeee :D


Advice


So, i'm now serving an evil deity as a result from my death.

Here's my character and how i'm re-building it with the help of this great community.

The campaign is homemade, the deities are the same of Golarion, and there are other deities, like mine (some kind of chtulu-thing), a Gnome god.

We're (me too, i'm serving my god, not helping those) currently fighting against a big evil creature called Nimrook, who's currently imprisonated somewhere and has some fanatic big strong mages and so trying to awake him.

I need advices on how to perform my evil-sided-actions without getting disintegrated by a paladin and a cleric serving the great big good XD!

Any advices are very welcome!


In depth i need advice on how to "perform my evil plan without getting caught".

Faint heart and unable to scheme for yourself?
Quest to find a proper champion for your god then.

Oh, wait, is that what you are doing now?


Care to elaborate? I'd like to read a bit more about what your new deity wants you to do. Having the whole story could be of help so we can give advice.
Without knowing a lot I'll give my main advice when it comes to this kind of situations: even if you have different motivations, find a way to work with the players, not against the players.
Worshipping an evil deity doesn't mean that you cannot fight other evil, only that you are not doing it for the greater good but to serve your deity's evil schemes.
Be subtle. The best way of succeeding is not being caught. Even if you want to roleplay how your character has changed you don't have to demonstrate it by big evil deeds. Sometimes advocating for delivering a coup de grace to an enemy who your character would have spared before or portraying your character in a more cynical way has the same effect and nobody will want to kick your ass for just sharing an opinion.
I'll try to be more specific if you give some extra info.


@Daw comments like that help me very much... if you're frustrated try to fix that out of my life thanks.

@Kileanna here are some more in depth informations:

My evil deity, the Tentacle hiding in the dark, wants me to destroy that city mentioned above "Gnomeland", that's because he lives in my city (the city where i was born) Gnhorriland and the hate between those two is what he/she want.

As said i'm not fighting the party, i'm mostly helping them (don't wanna be that kind of player) so i'm working with them, and i need to understand how to perform my deity desire without getting caught and without damaging the party, and i think i can, just have to figure how.

The King of Gnomeland is a PC (now he's adventuring with us and his butler took the power (we don't know why, but seems he waked up the population with a kind of revolution/golpe) proclaming himself as King of Gnomeland.

As said before we're currently fighting some Big Evil Minions trying to awake a BIG BIGGER EVIL who's currently imprisonated/sleeping.

Last session i "saved" a mythic demon (the one made of bone and with a scorpion tail, i don't know the name); he was being devoured by some skeleton minion's that the King of Gnomeland control using a staff we found defeating a necromancer, so i used telekinesis and placed him on a roof (he can regenerate his HP, and the damage of the skeletons wasn't enough to kill him, but it was enough to keep him on the ground).
To be more specific, i didn't do that to get the demon fight another time with the party (i'm not so crazy XD! I'm the party aswell!) but to get some kind of favour maybe in exchange or something like that (i seem more crazier i think).

I could tell everything, but probably the post wont allow me to do so, if you have any question i'll be glad to answer!
Also if you guys want to share some actions you did in your past games or ideas, i can understand better how to perform my role.


As you're fighting the self proclaimed king of Gnomeland to reinstaurate the old king to his throne, how would it be that you helped to do so while encouraging the use of highly destructive methods so when you are done the destruction you desire is almost attained?
You would be helping your group while pursueing your own destructive goals.
I never tried to say that you would work against your group, just my average advice ;-D


@Kileanna this could work, but i'm not truly sure the "old" King of G. would destroy what his family has built in the past xD!
If you destroy your kingdom, you've no kingdom to reign on.

Also right now we're far far away from Gnomeland, should i act like engaging someone to work to destroy the city?


I'm not saying that he wants to destroy his own kingdom, but if you manipulate things a bit to take excesive measures to recover the kingdom, that's what it's going to happen anyway.
Maybe you should try to strike some alliances that officially want to help to fight for thea kingdom it but have them doing more harm than helping, like burning the crops in a town you want to conquer so when you have conquered it you cannot gain any benefit from it.
Sorry for my poor English. I hope you get the idea.


Uhm yeah seems a nice idea!
Poor english here i am bro! ehehe.

seems i will need to hire an army to reconquer/burn Gnomeland, won't be easy XD!


My suggestion is to convince everyone that the butler is evil. Meanwhile convince the butler that the PC is evil. Once you set that ball in motion it becomes a vicious cycle that will probably justify whatever aggressive actions you might want to take eventually.

EX: bind some devils. Order them to infiltrate his court, gain the butler's ear, and send back reports of everything evil they are causing. Then create a plot hook and "discover" the butler's unholy alliance

Also kill that demon. Demons as written have no remorse or sense of debt. To get him to do something for you you need
A. something he wants but CANNOT take in any way
B. to beat the crap out of him mercilessly and repeatedly
C. magical control/binding


Ahh nice to know, demons have no sense of debt XD i'm a poor Roleplayer XD i thought was possible to get something from him.. well too late, i saved him, i can't kill it anymore i think.

I've a DIV, could he be interested in a personal slave, or he can get as many DIV as he want? (isn't a classic div, is some kind similar to a succubus).

The butler, for what we know, could be evil for real... i mean he stole "our" king's kingdom, i could say it's NE or something like that.
