Mykull the situation is in the book. It was hardly a no win, as the PC's just needed to make a diplomacy check to talk the grey maiden captain down. The paladin felt that the grey maidens were a lawful authority and that that justified their actions IE: quelling a crowd that refused to disperse.
The oracle is Lawful Neutral- his god is Asmodeaus, a deity commonly worshiped in Korvosa.
Oracle is one of Asmodeus for the record. At the very least the code says to punish those who commit evil acts: would the oracle not be getting holy vengeance?
Rawr we are speaking of paladins. Not oracles. No the paladin did not try to stop the oracle.
The Paladin code: Code of Conduct: A paladin must be of lawful good alignment and loses all class features except proficiencies if she ever willingly commits an evil act. Additionally, a paladin's code requires that she respect legitimate authority, act with honor (not lying, not cheating, not using poison, and so forth), help those in need (provided they do not use the help for evil or chaotic ends), and punish those who harm or threaten innocents. Associates: While she may adventure with good or neutral allies, a paladin avoids working with evil characters or with anyone who consistently offends her moral code. Under exceptional circumstances, a paladin can ally with evil associates, but only to defeat what she believes to be a greater evil. A paladin should seek an atonement spell periodically during such an unusual alliance, and should end the alliance immediately should she feel it is doing more harm than good. A paladin may accept only henchmen, followers, or cohorts who are lawful good. Emphasis Mine.
The paladin is devoted to Serenrae, and she has the general code of conduct (as described in the core rules). Earlier in the game a man attempted to surrender to her, and she promptly beheaded him, which I considered.... extreme. Swagger, you don't think she should have at least TRIED to stop them? Thanks for speedy responses.
WARNING: CRIMSON THRONE SPOILERS BELLOW Movie plot spoiler: In my crimson throne game, the characters recently got to a scene where a group of grey maidens confront a group of victims of blood veil. The paladin of the party asked the group to disperse, and that was it. The oracle HELPED the grey maidens as they slaughtered the diseased people. The paladin just stepped back and let it happen, saying that theirs nothing she could have done against so many grey maidens. Would this constitute a situation where a paladin would fall?
Ok, character statistics are up, still filling in back story.
Apologies, still learning about this site. I think I have everything in order. I misread, and thought you wanted me to simply create a him on extension of my main profile. I should be ready to 'rock now. |
