A Merc's Life: Howl of the Carrion King [03]

OOC - I know Tsadok is making this difficult, sorry. But being a follower of Serenrae, he would not fight, much less kill unless there is no other alternative.

OOC: No worries, but I don't think you've found ready converts among your companions. All part of the fun.

OOC: I've run out of ideas to convince him that it is necessary in this instance, and I thought Houwlou's last exposition was a good effort at that. So for now, Houwlou is reduced to being a mere spectator.

OOC - it was a good effort by both of you but unfortunately I'm not gonna play Tsadok as a killer - hell...he uses a sap for God's sake.

Mike, it might be time for me to bow out of this game, Tsadok is just not meant to be a Merc.

Tsadok

Tsadok remains quiet as the others put forth their best efforts to keep Tsadok with them on their desired path to take the area.

As Tsadok listens he feels more and more alone. He puts such a high value on life, even if it is not lived well. Serenrae teaches that everyone is capable of change, possibly coming around but if they are killed that is one less possible follower and against everything he believes and has tried to live his life to represent.

What now? He thinks to himself. Where will I go? His friends voices fade into the background as his feeling of isolation overtakes him.

Mike, it might be time for me to bow out of this game, Tsadok is just not meant to be a Merc.

Up to you, of course. My recollection is that you started him out as not willing to kill, and that he would try to talk others out of killing but would not stop them and would stay around them (possibly because he wishes to continue trying to convert them to Sarenrae's teachings?). However, if the game is played correctly, IMO, characters change and grow over time. Maybe this is the way he's growing!

You should note that as written, Sarenrae ain't scared to smite some righteous evil if they've shown themselves unwilling to convert. Since you're taking a somewhat different interpretation of her teachings, Tsadok seems tailor made to grow into an Inquisitor ;).

If you believe that he won't be a good fit for the rest of this AP, we can write him out; if you still like him as a character, I can likely come up with some solo adventures for him so you can continue to see how he turns out.[/sblock]

OOC: Made me laugh.

"Tsadok, perhaps you are a man ahead of your time. It is a brutish age we live in. We have chosen war as a way of life. We fight for money and I can't say that I've never had a crisis of morality for it. But the Bees don't take on unjust missions and no man is forced to fight if he doesn't believe what he's doing is right and just. That is good enough for me."
