[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7263423, member: 20564"] Okay, this one was done by me two and a half decades ago playing AD&D 2ed. We had a rather ... neutral party. Honorable but mercenary I guess would be the way to say it. Anyway, after a character death I brought in a priest of Mask, a god of theives. He was what I called "petty evil". Sure, he was funding a thieves' guild, but they didn't do assassinations. He was more out for himself and his god, rather than to perpetuate grand evil schemes. His defining characteristics where that he was lazy and glib. When the party found out he was a priest of Mash (he had joined the party posing as a priest of Shaundankl, god of travelers) the demanded to know why they should believe he wouldn't just rob them. His response: I can rob you once for all of your shares, and spend the rest of my life watching my back against a powerful group of adventurers, or I can "work" a few days a month and each time take a full share which will end up as more in just a few months. They let him stay. They all knew he was lazy, this made sense. At a later point we were exploring those ancient ruins that centuries before belonged to a legendary fire giant wizard. Anyway, we looted most of it but were runnign very low on HPs and spells after what we thought was the final battle. (Oh, and softened up by DON'T FIREBALL THE "BEHOLDERS", THEY ARE REALLY GAS SPORES.) Anyway, we're collecting the big loot from a hidden, trapped place, touch this big ruby and poof, the legendary Fire Giant Wizard issues forth from where he had been trapped in it. Oh $#!T. He starts on this whole speech about "Who dares to loot his tower!" and such when I pipe up: [B][I] "Actually, we're here to rescue you"[/I][/B]. Fire Giant, switching gears: "Oh, okay. You shall be handsomely rewarded for your service to me!" So, we released this very powerful Fire Giant wizard who used to enslave people. I did mention we weren't on the side of angels, right? Let some other adventuring party deal with it. And they did. [/QUOTE]
