Anyone with a high Know(History) or (Religion) check would have knowledge that at least one person thought undeath was the world's salvation. Could probably make the check for more details on that.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Lastly theer are no Gods in any anicent legend that would grant an undead paladin powers? If Grant was more open eyed that should concern him more...where does the paladin get devine powers from?</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Grant is also unquestionably on the side of good, but his actions pursuant to that might be more on the side of evil. He's a very shaky neutral, acts-wise. The reason Grant isn't very concerned about Vaelor is because, well, the guy died trying to kill Nergal, one of the two great demons currently besieging the world. He's got his chopped-off horn in his pack.<br/><br/>Anton isn't particularly religious at all, yet has divine powers. Rysinder believes but doesn't hold to his own vows very well, and still gets divine power. Vaelor is, for all intents and purposes, a look into the past. He was a paladin before he died, and kept his vows after his death.<br/><br/>I think I mentioned this in the recruiting thread, but it seems like the Gods are no longer picky about who gets divine power. Think of that what you will.  ::)<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Oh IllLust how would anyone know that Vaelor is the 'nicest' among the NPCs? what has he done to show this? he just seems to glower and say nothing!</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I was hoping I could write well enough that these subtleties were picked up on! D: :P Ah, I realized that I only mentioned him a handful of times in the IC threads. Well, I mentioned that he isn't particularly pleased about his condition (In fact, he likely shares Jahtera's feelings whole-heatedly), has been fairly cordial to everyone except making one off-hand remark to Grant, and is also a lawful good paladin that has died fighting demons.<br/><br/>He probably just glowers at Jahtera.  ;) ...And now, Anton. But, being that he is a paladin, he's not going to do much about it. If Anton had tried to assert dominance over Vwyn, or if Jahtera had threatened Vwyn, for instance... well, it wouldn't end well.<br/><br/>I'm trying not to give too much screen-time to the NPCs, so to speak... but if you want more from them, I can write more. And of course, feel free to PM me if you want to RP with them- as ExisD said she wanted Nsia to speak more with Morgan, specifically. I apologize if I've been too obtuse.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Most of this is news to me...no where have you detailed anything about the npcs...I had no idea that Grant was like that...Honestly if that had been made clear at the start then Jahtera would be acting much differently...she would not be flirting! She would not sleep in human form but as a bird in a high tree branch! She would be very careful and highly concerned since to her it does not seem there is a good reason for some to be here? Are they getting paid? What motivates them?</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>It's briefly mentioned, but again- I apologize if I was unclear.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">"Only magic left is fiend magic." She said, nodding to Anton, "That's where your miracles come from. Everyone's talking about Gods but who has ever seen one- even back then? Gods or demons- it's the same damned thing."<br/><br/>"How insightful, coming from one of their spawn." Grant added, narrowing his green eyes. From underneath her hood, the rogue's own eyes were indiscernible, but her tone was sharp and to the point, "I was conceived by rape, inquisitor."<br/><br/>"You shouldn't judge Morgan too harshly. She's had to kill her own kind.... many, many times." The king said, shaking his head as he pleaded for compassion. "All the more reason the two of you should get along." Vaelor said with a sigh as he stared at the exorcist, <strong>"I know how many people you killed at Lysand."</strong><br/><br/>Grant's jaw clenched like an iron beartrap before he bitterly retorted, <strong>"Don't be so righteous with me- that toxic creature would have gone on raping and murdering gods know how many if I hadn't put a stop to it."</strong><br/><br/>Myrunue shook her head and stood up, "We're all comrades here- we shouldn't be arguing. <strong>...My sister was possessed by a fiend- he knew her thoughts, how she acted, how she felt. I didn't know until it was too late- Grant only did what he had to do.</strong>"<br/><br/>The inquisitor ran a hand through his short, receding brown hair. "Thank you." He managed with annoyance, "What about you then?"</div></div><br/>So yeah, he killed a bunch of people he<em>thought</em>were demons, but really weren't.<br/><br/>And relax, I don't take much pleasure in killing off PCs. That encounter, for instance, could have been a lot worse than how it ended up. I nerfed it a bit (though not in any way contrary to what was already established, so there would be no need to 'ret-con' anything) even.<br/><br/>That being said, there's no such thing as Plot Armor (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotArmor)... doing something that would ordinarily be fatal will most likely be fatal. :P<br/><br/>IC2 is mostly a secondary thread just to have extraneous RPs without IC1. It doesn't advance the plot (IC1 does) but might be crucial to understanding it. If that makes any sense?<br/><br/>I wasn't big on the idea of three IC threads, since I prefer to keep things nice and orderly and all in one place... but if it makes it easier for the players to avoid nebulous time-line posting, then I'm not going to forbid it.<br/><br/>That being said, I know Myst hasn't been online in awhile and Muse tends not to post very often... but I do want to know how I can get the others involved more, cause I certainly don't want to exclude anyone and move on without them.
