Rofl and I almost get skewerd right out the gate. At least Karse didn't draw on Rufus :P
Karse didn't spend his formative years patrolling a portion of the border of Galt & the other borders of Liberthane. The River Kingdoms teach you to be very...
careful,of surprises.
I will also point out, since the three men are all martial primary classes, that sword drawn & extended is actually a defensive posture (In real life).
Now if Rufus had his sword drawn but back behind him or over his head, that would have been an indication that violence was about to ensue.

Winifred Lebeda |

Just think how funny this would all be if you were playing Louise. :)
Louise is considerably taller and better at defending oneself however, so I'm not so sure they would be as quick to defend Louise.
Winifred is barely even armored however and is running around in fancy clothing as if screaming "hey bandits over here, weak noble to prey upon!"

Actually, Karse is simply acting within the paladin's code, defending Winifred whom he believes to be an innocent. His intentions are entirely honorable.

On the other hand, you are also closer to the Paladin's alignment, being only one step removed, rather than two. Lawful Neutral passes for Good much more readily than Chaotic Good passes for Lawful.

Woohoo! Made it into this thread already! ;) Hunting with Rufus and getting the lay of the land! :)
j/k, I know you meant Boon. Just had to be cheeky.

Can paladins recognize one another as such by their aura of good? I've always thought that this was a dead giveaway for another paladin to recognize one of their own.

Yes, but the individual in question could be just a cleric, or even a farmer who happens to worship that deity. I'm talking about the subtle clues that paladins would learn to spot in one another.

Sir Karse isn't suicidal, he merely believes that his is a righteous cause and that as such, he will prevail. Nor is he stupid. He knows that there are times when foreknowledge of a battle can make a huge difference, but against a handful of bandits? Pshaw.
As for pledging to protect with his life, well, what can I say? He IS a knight of chivalry. :)
You will see a lot of this from him, especially against truly evil foes. He is the kind of guy who will stand and fight unless it just makes more sense to flee (and there is an opportunity for payback later).

Rufus Fitzroi |

Rufus never said Sir Karse was suicidal, he just thinks people who say things like that are pompous & don't particularly know what they are talking about.
He was a squire to an experienced Paladin & would have been a Paladin himself if he had been better at the whole Law & Order thing, but his commander never said that knowledge of the enemy was less important than the righteousness of ones own cause.
Actually, his commander pretty much said almost exactly the opposite, that the righteousness of one's cause required better knowledge of one's enemy...

GM Captain Trips |

Cross posting from the other discussion thread, in case people aren't keeping track over there right now:
Completely off the subject -
A few people from the group I play with every other Monday are going to be getting together on the off-Mondays to play PFS scenarios via Roll20.net. For those of you who play PFS and are interested this would be a game that starts at 6pm EST and wraps up around 10pm EST. We would cover one scenario per session, and would meet every other week, starting this Monday, the 1st. We already have our GM and are looking for 2-3 more people who might want to join in.
If you are interested just drop me a message and I'll give you the details. Since this is a PFS based game the usual society rules would apply. You wouldn't have to make all the games as they would be scenario driven.
Thanks

As a head's up; My son & I will be road-tripping down to my Father's in Oklahoma tonight, so it will likely be a couple days before I can post regularly again.

Rufus and anyone/everyone, if you can't access Roll20, but can access Google Drive application Draw, I've been keeping a pretty updated copy of the map there. I've got a link above my profile picture that'll take you right to it. Hopefully that helps those will Roll20 access issues.
