[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 9548679, member: 42856"] My take... A WIS 3 score runs in the family. I know it's not politically correct to assign penality to races, but clearly the race of Landar suffer a -15. To ensure his wife and son financial autonomy, he gave her a magic pouch of infinite wealth but forgot to explain how it works and what the command word is. Oopsie. I imagine Marla must have been quite disappointed when she open the package labelled "in case something happens to me, this should set you off for life" and find a purse with a measly 4 coins inside. Also, he somehow forgot to tell Mum about the fact that her brother had turned to Evil. Well, you addressed that. But, hum, what kind of brother let her sister live in poverty among dimwitted peasants. I understand they had to escape an immediate threat, but getting in touch the following year to say "I have bought a small seaside cottage far south of saven for you and on my way here I torched the village of morons that exiled you" would have been nice. The fact he didn't even send a Christmas card should hint Marla that maybe, maybe, her brother isn't Good-aligned anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if Landor married a girl his students' age. And since an alternative version of Carr saw that she could cast spells, he maybe just married one of his students. It... rarely happens in real life because deontology forbids teacher to fool with students (how do they say? Fraternize? Well, the intent wasn't to do something a guy does with his bros, but...), but in a medieval world... Maybe that's a reason... Dr Landor: I have summoned you because I saw your Deontology test. You're clearly in the Neutral Evil square of the alignment quadrant. This is concerning. Why shouldn't I expel you? Beldon: You're sleeping with my sister. Maybe we should discuss deontology in front of the full faculty? Dr Landor: and I wanted to congratulate you, I have decided to appoint you as prefect! It's worse than being captured by Oram, who might have been a cleric so powerful the gods themselves feared him. Landor was killed/arrested by Oram's FIGHTERS. The kind that tend to turn to crispy, charred meat after he says "Fireball". Not to speak of Contingent Planeshift. Hypothesis: the gods of Tikandia are extremely fearful. They are not gods in the sense of absolutely powerful being, they are actually a pantheon of kobolds. Also, with WIS 3, I guess we don't have the option to end the adventure here, moving to another island altogether, generate, based on the fact that Lucre takes half a mississippi, around 480 gp in a minute and use that wealth to fund a mercenary army to take over the island and "remove" anyone who wronged us in the past? Thayne litterally told us it was the safest path. [/QUOTE]
