[QUOTE="drnuncheon, post: 982941, member: 96"] I have to agree with the idea that she's treading in very dangerous area - not necessarily because she's 'associating' with an evil person, but because she's knowingly deceiving her companions. Betraying their trust is not paladinly behavior in the slightest, and she knows it - if she didn't think she was doing something "wrong" she wouldn't have lied about where she went. What would I do? Well, her god would be keeping a very close eye on her. She will probably be tested in the months ahead, before her deity is willing to rely on her again. Basically, the deity would test her until she breaks, or until she returns to the path of righteousness, because the paladin is their sword, and a flawed weapon is more dangerous to the weilder than it is to the opponent. Far better to have it break in a test than when it is relied upon in battle. If the deity doesn't have the resources or patience to test her, then they would strip away the paladin-ness, for much the same reasons. (Which could serve as a test in and of itself, as the paladin struggles to regain their god's favor.) J [/QUOTE]
