no, nico's probably right and ashia thinks that (but remember she doesn't actually care what the guy does with the body as long as it's still there to take to its destination). but none of the evidence so far actually supports that position if you start neutral. the evidence so far only supports that people expect evil and conniving from worshippers of lamashtu. that's not unreasonable thing to expect, but the expectation also doesn't prove itself true. if you're in a ghetto it's reasonable to assume some of the people around you are armed and/or dangerous. that doesn't prove that they all are so just because one of them reaches behind him or into his coat in a manner that seems suspicious to you, it doesn't mean he is about to pull a gun. this is a very similar situation. yes, it's likely that this priest is up to no good (almost certain from a player's perspective), but from out characters' perspectives with the rolls we got, the only things that can motivate us to return to the house are prejudice and metagaming. i assume we're not metagaming so it must be the character's prejudice.
hey guys. I'm busy today and most of tomorrow So i won't be able to update until tomorrow after work.

There some elements in a fantasy setting that do not have a direct co-relation to the real world. In RL if you go to a guetto you will probably find people with guns. Some of those people may not care if another human being dies as a result of their actions. Some of them may even feel pleasure in the suffering of another human being. But none of them will ever have as the first item on their agendas the destruction of civilization and the end of human kind. That stuff only happens in fantasy novels, comic books, rpgs and movies.
the level of destruction anticipated does absolutely nothing to change the prejudice required to make the kind of assumptions nicolae is making. i'm not saying that it's not okay for nicolae to be prejudiced against lamashtu's followers. i'm only saying that his reaction can only be motivated by prejudice or metagaming considering what we actually know.
edit: i'm at work and will post in character a bit later.

...i'm only saying that his reaction can only be motivated by prejudice or metagaming considering what we actually know.
But thats the thing, that may apply to your character, not to Nicolae. He does have prior experiences with the cult of the demon lords and that is not metagaming. I wont play the character like someone just erase his memories from past adventures. His strong opinions, right or wrong, came from said previous experiences.
yes, but his experience is irrelevant. his experience doesn't prove that a follower of lamashtu is incapable of telling the truth, or being friends with a venture-captain, or of honestly wanting to prepare a body for transit.
the experience we have had with the priest in question does not justify any of nicolae's suspicions. thus, any suspicion he feels is due to the priest being associated with lamashtu. that means it is prejudice.
again, i'm not saying nicolae isn't free to have his prejudices... only that he is, in fact, being prejudiced.
if you see a gang member in a convenience store and automatically assume he's going to rob it because he's a gang member, you are being prejudiced. real life gang member occasionally go into convenience stores and buy things. that doesn't mean you're not safer expecting danger than not... only that your expectation of danger is based on prejudice rather than what's actually happening.
I am getting the battle mat set up now, which means combat will be starting shortly
Ashen I was rolling you initiative for you when you rolled. Either way you can go, but I will roll initiative for you at the start of combat.
true that. and for wanting to fight so badly, Nicolae didn't role to high :P
as for your question about a fire source, there is none. Folks don't really need a fire to heat the house when they are living in the desert ^.^
You guys should be able to access the battle sheet now. Sorry about that
i just realized that imma need some information from you for when i hand out your chronicle sheets. so if you would be so kind as to post your day job check and your XP advancement (im assuming all of you are on standard)
oh no, that killed him. Sorry
if that''s all imma move on?
personally, i am loving this party. Your characters are people and not numbers
sorry for the delay everyone, I've had a really busy last few days. I'll make sure to get it going again tonight
I am not familiar with that term. What is a harper? Uncle google didnt help me.
:(
i believe he means that Pizzmic (as a character) will not hesitate to hold things up to (over)share his opinion.

Maybe its a local term I don't know but cuatroespada is pretty close with its meaning. Pizzmic will talk a lot that's where he is most comfortable so if given an audience he will aim to please. That kind of distractions can make for long sessions in pbp so if we aren't moving fast enough due to pizmmic holding the game up please tell me if its annoying and ill back down from posting so much.
no probldm at all bu t my school picked and i doubt itll be decreasing if you guys need to backout i understand and ill try to keep it going
acually, im not going to be able to do this. School has to come first. Sorry for wasting your time
