IMC campaign, only 2 gods have an order of holy warriors. The codes are pretty different.God of family and Good: The god is NG, but has a loyal following of LG holy warriors. The most important aspect of their faith is mercy.God of Law and retribution: The God is LN, but also has a following of LG paladins. The most important aspect is following the Law.Both Paladins are identical rule-wise, but I judge what calls for Atonement in a completely different manner for each one.I follow your story hour, so I'm quite interested in seeing what's gonna happen.What you should do is define what Myrtrim's (the half-drow aasimar paladin) code is. I see different options:A) Must he show mercy towards other drow, leading by example, in hopes of redeeming every drow?B) Slay the evil oppressors (matriarchal theocracies make me shudder in fear <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />)C) Case by Case.This should be stated clearly, so that both you and your player are styraight on what his attitudes should be.I guess you've made a point in your story that not all drow are evil (Naria), but Lloth priestesses probably ping completely of evil on Myrtims radar.Your safest bet is to have Naria (the paladins cohort) recomend leaving the priestes with the Archmage. If not this, then maybe have a mock trial, were the priestess is questioned and coudl be found guilty of crimes (capital punishement does exist).The trial by combat seems like a good idea as well. It should be Myrtrim fighting though. You could give him some divine intervention in the way of an Insight bonus to AC or attacks to even out the odds, if you're worried he can't hack it in a toe to toe. Maybe if he shows mercy the priest can be redeemed?</blockquote>
