Did I get to make that attack of opportunity, or should I act as normal?
Act as normal
Just a quick little double check here!
Party up! Only the female remains!
So there is only one hostile left up right? And by the looks of it, some of you are trying to get her to back down right : )?
That's why Nate went for a grapple.
That's correct
I'm trying to drink blood, but I also may have a slightly skewed idea of what's going on. I'm a bit high on medication right now.

Too sick and depressed and terrified to game right now... expect I'll be gone a day or two while I process recent events.. I WILL be back.
This was sort of the plan right? Mercenaries sinve our noble daughter seems to have snapped up somewhere?
My plan is to play with this rubber demon ducky. That is until the time is right. ;P
Attending UCon in Michigan this weekend. Catch up after...
Merp. As hinted to IC we should probably try to resolve this whole burning-down-house and poisoned-matron business before we spend to much energy building our own crime empire I feel, if only so we can tie up the loose ends. And stuff.
How are you guys feeling?
Im working an angle i promise. We have this pretty lass who might be expenda...useful in such endeavors
Agreed.
Sure! Hakk is just trying not to be bored.
On a scale of 1 to 10 everyone (gm included) how evil/vile is this campaign?
Like im honestly one of the most goody two shoes paladin like people in th rl and with most of my charectors but i dont want to offend anyone either
The evil of this campaign is dictated by youall. If your gloves come off, so will mine. :)
I'm not offended.. just a little... confused?
Mourn is doing his best to sow his oats with that female and she isn't quite up to it yet, though she is coming around to your point of view.
Meanwhile, Saeras and the orc are going to go make sure the place doesn't have an armed self destruct or something.
1/2 orc and proud, sir...lol.
This is a drow campaign, so I am thinking that evil is the soup of the day...
Hakk may seem evil, but he's really just CN. (Stressing the Chaotic)
He looks at himself as an agent or embodiment of Chaos itself.
He may do some evil-ish things...but he's really just trying to spice life up for himself and everybody else around him from one moment to the next, he just doesn't really care who gets hurt or maimed along the way. THe exception is his family. He's bonded to them by his torturous upbringing...which makes him really just a semi-sociopathic demonling-kid trying to make sense of his place in the drow world. Sad really, but fun to role-play!
=)
I'm weird:
I have always looked at evil as a CHOICE rather than a given fact. You chose to do evil, then THAT is an evil act. You choose to do something (or nothing) because you don't care who get's hurt then OTHERS might think it evil, but in the end it is just callousness and/or ignorance of the consequences.
Not trying to debate here, just spouting out about where my character comes from in my little head.
I tend to play my drow more cunningly evil than vicious or vile.
I also look at alignment as two component pieces that make a whole, and as such, each piece can have several different 'interpretations'.
In Phae's case, he's definitely more the selfish, personal power, type of NE vs the Daemon nihilistic type of NE.
Nate is actually true Neutral, but hanging around the underdark is tilting him a bit...
So what I'm hearing is that our average lands close to "opportunistic bas****s", which is basically what youall have been so far.

I like to think of us as Inglorious b......s!
Vicalan has his own sense of order or rules but morality has nothing to do with it. Be as evil or good as you want he does not judge that. He judges smart and foolish, foresight and impulsiveness. If a good act will net him the most reward or higher result, he will do it. The same for an evil act. As someone once said, he's neutral like a shark or hurricane. ;)
Meanwhile, Saeras and the orc are going to go make sure the place doesn't have an armed self destruct or something.
Uh hell no we don't care about that - we are looking to redistribute all non-fixed valuables into a more efficient arrangement... :P
(But yeah, if they have a self destruct that would probably be a good thing to know!)
@Alignment - Saeras does not really condone of senseless violence, robbery, pillaging or torture ect ect unless it does either benefit or amuse him (though I guess the later is part of the former!).
But just for our own sanity I do suggest we don't get too graphic in describing our most wicked deeds yeah :P?
BTW, hook for re-hiring our absent wizard inserted! ;)
Mm true.
Psst Vicalan! - what's your experience with safe-cracking and/or dying horrible to traps?
I don't die from horrible traps because I am good at getting pass magical traps. Your question is illogical, your on my foolish list good sir. :P
P.S. Strangely enough among my level plans is a PrC that deals with magical traps. So if this becomes a common thing, it makes sense my guy gets good at it.
Pity, that means we will have to pay you... I mean, welcome aboard!
:P
Im reading this as being more chaotic than evil, so no need to burn babies, erp the dead bodies and such. just working on what the theme is
So uh... I'm afraid the matron and her daughter are going to be uh... found dead. Sorry Hakk
*whistles innocently*
Its a shame one of those darned places we are about to raid had eyes on the shop and back trailed us to the safe house and murdered everything in it in a premptive strike.
Oh by the way, im about to murder the matron, her daughter, the orc, and burn the building down, then blame it on one of the other gangs to get hakk into a killing fury... hope you all dont mind, trying to uh cut off any lunk on case the house that hit our former house tries tracking thrm down
LOL!
lunk was meant to be link, thrm is them
Only flaw is if the matron and Vantrag dies that other house is technically off the hook (since our house is indeed wiped out) ...
I am a male drow commoner... No small loss for me :P
I mean then they have all the time in the world to tie up loose odds and ends. But really, if you are going to go through with this, shouldn't we at least try to extract *something* of value from our previous foes for offering them a way out of their s%*!ty spot :P?
Saeras has a point, but Vantrag isn't the daughter he was mentioning. I'm actually thinking of NPCing her as we haven't seen vantrag in a long time.
Ah yeah true, there is another. Though I must admit making a deal with our enemies is probably an high risk/reward play as they could both try and double cross us - or Hakk could eat you slowly if he finds out :P
Only flaw is if the matron and Vantrag dies that other house is technically off the hook (since our house is indeed wiped out) ...
Nope they lost their chance at being off the hook with the council meeting. They not only failed but they got exposed. The "sacred law" is clear, they burn. That's what happens when you let holy fanatics run things. Does not help their goddess is unforgiving and cruel as a matter of course. The wheels are in motion and their is no stopping it now.
We still live?
New year...new posts?
As soon as I can. This season has been murder.
I'll be leaving in a few hours for MidWinter gaming con. I will hopefully be able to sneak in some posts here and there, but if not, please do not let my absence slow you down, and bot me as needed.
So - how does rope the wizard back in and then set up for the night sounds?
Just a reminder I am still around.
Also you don't rope the wizard, you bribe him. ;)
Silken bindings and all that ... :P
Yeah see how well that works on someone with the ability to teleport at will. Try it bub. >:D
Draconic folk are not the most forgiving by nature. ;P
Too literal friend - but if you are into physical bondage I'm sure we can find some way to hook you up (huehuehue ...)
Though I suppose our main thing at the moment is to see what shenanigans Mourn is cooking!
I guess it's back to the rubber duck then.
And there... heres to this working out, and look, they have mages a hook to reel our wayward mage back in
