A group of first time gamers entered a little homebrew I concocted. I should mention it was also my first game. Not only did the get off my planned track, but did so minutes into the game. There was a line up into a shop in town, the barbarian decided to put his shoulder down and bull-rush the line rather than wait or ask to be excused. His foolish action killed a woman and child, who happened to be the only family of the local shop keeper, Sam.
Sam was a simple, young shop-keeper who kept to himself, sold goods to adventurers, and lived a quiet life with his bride and new-born - until tragety struck in the form of a senseless barbarian. His life as he knew it is over.
Sam was last seen weeping and gnashing his teeth while ripping out his fingernails. While grieving, his only words are "death to the barbarian".
So as a diligent GM, I am creating this vengeful Sam. My question is what alignment do you recommend? He is not necessarily going to be going around killing, stealing, raping, pillaging etc. Yet he will be researching dark and arcane arts to bring down a lasting wrath upon the barbarian.
Thanks!
