[QUOTE="RealAlHazred, post: 6748696, member: 25818"] [b]Originally posted by Elton74:[/b] In my player group, one of the PCs is playing an "overzealous" priest of the Blood of Vol. He is a member of the Order of the Emerald Claw and I may have to pop his bubble as to how evil the Order of the Emerald Claw actually is. I was planning to do this later, but now I have to do it earlier. So, suggestions? Besides stripping him naked and hanging him up and being whipped by the EC knights for running away? [b]Originally posted by Syltorian:[/b] Can you tell us a bit more about this character and the situation the party is in (which nation, what are they currently doing, and so forth)? A terrorist act of the Emerald Claw against friends and allies of the party, even as collateral damage, should hammer home the point that allying with terrorist organisations is seldom a good idea, but for a detailed suggestion tailored to this circumstance, more details would be nice. [b]Originally posted by Elton74:[/b] Character history: Essar Kalvin learned long ago as a member of the Emerald Claw who the true masters of the Blood were. He has been rotting in the Brelish prison system for nearly three years with that knowledge racing through his mind. The revelation of the Blood being run by a group of undead has given rise to a heretic. For Essar knows what must be done as the core message of the Blood, that divinity come from within and not from without still rings true for him. However the Blood must be purified and its true work, the work of finding and using a way to create a truly good afterlife must begin in earnest. The task will be difficult however as while the undead and those aware of them and indeed collaborate with them must be brought down. At the same time the members of the Blood must be preserved from a bloody civil war in the faith, as Silver Flame zealots would see it as the perfect chance to crush the Blood once and for all. But the first task is assembling a organization capable of destroying the undead who run the Blood, and doing it while remaining undetected will be even more difficult. However Essar is confident that he will succeed, if for no other reason then to not submit to defeat. The party: The party is made up of former PoWs of all nations. So far, the group is in Breland, and their goal is to stop the Aurum. And so far, just the Priest have the two major hooks for the party. One is to explore a forgotten Daikhaani ruin and the last is to get rid of a group terrorizing Sharn. The group is, ironically, the Order of the Emerald Claw. So far, the group has separated, and Essar is walking into a trap. He is trying to get hirelings at the moment. [/QUOTE]
