[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 6109618, member: 79141"] [b]Oops[/b] Matunaaga next. Following the same pattern again: [I]"The gidim-foe seeks understanding that has passed beyond the memory even of his own people. One who already serves Ashima-Shimtu knows the way of the Rrakkma, for she awakened the knowledge within him. But she grows tired of his service and would gladly bestow the torch upon another; another who could venture into the outside world and do her some small service in return for living weaponhood!"[/I] [B]Matunaaga's player agreed, saying "Any foe of the gidim is a friend of mine". So he mistook what she said and thought she was referring to herself, not him. Ashima-Shimtu is perfectly happy to accept his mistake, however:[/B] [I]"Ashima-Shimtu is pleased. The gidim-foe will find the plates he seeks on the corpse of Gene." [/I] This is when he realised his mistake, of course. But too late! Matunaaga's 'reward' is access to his paragon path. (Which he would have gotten anyway - you see, Rainmaker...) His short-term bonus is much more interesting: Gene carries what appear to be non-descript metal plates in a pouch around his neck. These are guides to the philosophy of combat practised by the [I]maustin[/I] people (reskinned githzerai who live in the Anthras Mts) whose guidance Matunaaga has forsaken by remaining in the human world. My idea is that psionic combat was taught by these people to the clergy godhands centuries ago, and that Gene - seeking more and more power - wanted Ashima-Shimtu to unlock the secret for him. The plates are essentially [I]The Unbroken Circle of Zerthimon[/I] from Planescape:Torment and will unlock various alternative treasure rewards as Matunaaga progresses with them. He is the only one not being bound by a geas (because his pledge was false, and he would have gained all of these benefits without Ashima-Shimtu), but he doesn't know that. [/QUOTE]
