Hey guys, so a couple weeks ago I took over DMing our group and we decided on running the RotRL anniversary addition. They have finished Misgivings and next session will be heading to Magnimar, likely to play out the remainder of the chapter.
One thing I have tried to emphasize to the group is to try and create a story for your character. As a result the cleric that plays, is a Cleric of Asmodeus. Going into level 7 at the start of the next campaign he is taking Leadership, which I am fine with. He also has expressed his interest in becomign a diabolist. So Hiding in foxglove manor, I put one of Vopels scrolls as lesser planar ally, so that it fits the pre-reqs for him to take diabolist going forward. He wound up using the scroll and summoning a devil to help take out Aldern Foxglove. He also started utilizing his command undead feat to try and turn the ghouls in the farms to use as meatshields in foxglove manor. As a result he was forced to go evil from neutral.
Now with his levels of Diabolist coming up and leadership, he wants to have some interactions with Asmodeus. Reading about the demonlord himself it sounds like the followers the cleric/diabolist claims will be essentially slaves for Asmodeus.
So I will probably have some sort of communication to him through a vessel bestowing his hellfire channel abilities and an imp to watch the cleric. This imp will report back to Asmodeus, so that we can see if the cleric is worthy of going up in Asmodeus' legion.
But I am trying to figure out how the city of sandpoint will react as the cleric tries to follow through with what his mission in converting the city. Also from the start I have forced the PC's to have a lot of interaction with the Shayliss Vinder. So much so that the cleric wants her to act as his cohort.
So how would Shayliss react to learning about someone she is interested in becoming progressively more wicked. Also what class would you think Shayliss best plays as? The clerics goal is to eventually turn her into a general for Asmodeus, or some sort of mage.
Just need some insight on what road to take regarding this PC in particular and his goals in the game. Anything you can give me would greatly help.
anyone? :(
Sorry, but I don't have any advice to give on this front.
For Runelords, I didn't allow evil PCs or for PCs to serve evil deities. I thought that would detract too much from the storyline.
