The encounter was great! Flamestrikes going off everywhere, invisible assassins stabbing the player-characters in the back, dumping sacks of poisonous snakes on them, walls of force dividing packs of enemies, and valiant charges made into the screaming horde!In the final rounds of the struggle, the group is fighting some of the remaining clerics in desperate hand-to-hand combat, and one by one, the clerics are dying. One of the group's paladins, Bronwyn, is unpacking a can of whoop-ass on this priestess, Drusilla. Three criticals later, Drusilla is staggering, and as she looks about and sees that most of her companions are dead, with some others in retreat, and this 6'2" buffed paladin-chick with platinum-blonde hair just hammering her down, she falls to one knee, and cries out for mercy!Bronwyn grants her mercy, and demands as part of the bargain, the beautiful priestess must serve her and her party with the utmost loyalty and devotion, until she says otherwise, as her life is otherwise forfeit for her defeat at her hands.The cleric of Orcus agrees, reluctantly. Bronwyn makes her swear to serve her loyally. Any treachery will bring her swift death by her sword. Bronwyn used her Sense Motive, and Drusilla seemed quite sincere. Under the circumstances, it was either be sincere, or be sincerely dead by swift execution. Still, there are some issues I'm obviously pondering.What now? What do you think? I was amazed that she granted her mercy! Just incredible! A priestess of Orcus no less! Semper Fidelis,SHARK</blockquote>
