[QUOTE="TheCosmicKid, post: 7521688, member: 6683613"] Once upon a time there was a teenaged peasant girl named Noylin of Cradham. Noylin talked to the Sun God, and traveled the land as a self-styled lay preacher, sharing with all who would listen, and also those who would rather not, the joy she felt beholding the wonderful world in His light. One night, lay preaching not being a well-paying profession, she was moonlighting serving drinks in a mead hall whither fortune had gathered an assortment of polychromatic characters -- "PCs", if you will -- in search of adventure. Now, serving drinks was turning out not to be a well-paying profession either, for Noylin had a hard time understanding that the guests might not appreciate receiving theological admonitions along with their beverages. One PC, an aristocratic sort with little grasp of the common value of money, tried to get her to go away by tipping her a whole gold coin. In the shining disk Noylin saw a vision of the Almighty Sun declaring this PC to be the Chosen One and commanding her to follow him as his Herald (a development that definitely had nothing to do with him being a kind and handsome prince about her own age). Another PC, a warlock and all-around terrible person, instead tried to shut her up by treating her the way terrible people all too often treat serving girls. To this Noylin responded as her momma had taught her: with a solid right hook to the jaw. Well, things escalated from there, and as they say, initiative was rolled. The warlock retaliated with loathsome magic. The handsome prince intervened, convincing the warlock to back down and apologize by offering to pay restitution for any damages caused. The guards provided the stick to his carrot by leveling crossbows and threatening to feather any perpetrators of further violence. All seemed settled. But then it rolled back around to Noylin's turn, and... [B]ME:[/B] You guys still have a RAGING BARBARIAN on your hands. Just sayin'. [B]OTHER PLAYERS:[/B] Wait You're a barbarian And that is the story of how they learned that sometimes Joan of Arc figures are in fact nice young women suffering from undiagnosed mental illnesses, and how I almost killed another PC with a pair of tankards in Session 0.
