Group is planning to start this path soon. Without giving to much away, is this doable? The group rewards role-playing, and was thinking of the following concept:
Malenti sent to spy on sea elves for eventual slaughter, but essentially defected from Sahuagin community and on the run, ending up as a “simple sea elf ranger or warrior” caught up in the start of this AP. He would be cagey about his past, playing up the mysterious stranger card, with a little guilt over his Big Secret. Friendships are strained, and then strengthened by the eventual reveal.
Thoughts?
Hinting around spoilers ok, just no details please
In a PbP I'm actually playing a Malenti. Figured it would be fun to have a little reveal later on. Aside from officers none of the party save one know my identity.
It sounds like we're tackling a similar concept, I would say it work. With as little spoilers as possible, there shouldn't be a real conflict aside from a sense of betrayal from your party.
thanks guys, the reveal later in the AP looks to be fun, and my GM seems ok with it. he even noted that I refer to the concept as "sea elf blood rager" around other players and said "good cover"...
My group should understand that there is no party betrayal, but a 'racial betrayal'/ 'shameful secret' that happened pre-adventure. Looking forward to it!
