[QUOTE="N'raac, post: 6714282, member: 6681948"] So how are you thinking he should have approached the party? Whistling and clashing cymbals through the Necropolis? His strange ability to track the party seems like something the DM has as much responsibility to explain as he does, if not more. Of course, the alternative is "you sit the game out for an indefinite period until an intro for your character is available". All lies should be pretty easy to ferret out if you have a mid-level Divine caster. Has anyone tried to verify or disprove his claims? Do other PC's get a similar intro into the group, or is this player singled out because he's the problem child? And what precludes a character leaving a will? This player trying to retcon it in seems problematic, but I'm not sure a PC wanting to leave possessions to relatives is so incomprehensible. Do any other PC's have wills (or living relatives)? Why would a character send an air elemental with +11 Stealth Skill, +17 Fly skill and 60' Darkvision out to scout for him at night? Gee, whatever WAS he thinking sending an entity that should not be approaching from less than 40'or so above the ground using stealth when it can see twice that far through the dark, when he could just walk out himself with his noisy armor (I suspect) and daylight-adjusted eyes. It's not like a 100'move with Perfect maneuverability would give the Elemental any hope of fleeing danger, is it? It seems like you are ready to see anything the player does in the worst possible light, based (not wholly unreasonably) on past experience with him. However, if he were as horrible as the posts we see here make him out to be, it's surprising to me that a majority vote by your group can't be raised to remove him. Is it possible that his behaviour is less bothersome to others than it is to you? Recent threads seem to look like you are actively looking for an issue you can point to as his latest unforgiveable sin. I doubt my own objectivity would survive a similar history. Are you sure yours has? [/QUOTE]
