[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7308159, member: 29398"] We're not told the party's level, but as it's the end of R-of-T it must be getting up there - which means it's very to extremely likely they have revival magic available on a relative whim. Though Derek might well be killed early on, there's nothing at all saying he's going to stay dead for very long at all. Given what info we have*, I can very easily see how a scenario like the following would play out: - Harry kills Derek, or tries to (if he tries and fails he's really screwed!) - Party soon learn who the killer was via one or more of: directly witnessing the action; Harry confessing (or boasting); or detective work - Party, led by the Paladin, turn on Harry and either run him out, kill him, or bring him to justice (if they don't they become complicit in the killing, which isn't very Paladinic) - Derek is revived in one of several ways: by the party, by order of a court of law or equivalent, by his guild, or by whoever * - the key info we're not given is how well each of Derek and Harry are liked by the rest of the party, should the party end up having to choose one and let the other go. The upshot: it's more Harry's player than Derek's who needs to have a replacement character handy. :) Lanefan [/QUOTE]
