The current plan, without the backup plans I’m developing, is for my character to head for the Temple for the day. He’ll talk it out with a priest, pray, get his head on straight so he is less confused and off balance when confronting them. Meanwhile, before he left, he told the party that he wants to hear what they decide to do, if we support the Paladin’s actions as a group or if we reject them. What to do when that all goes southward fast is the subject of current back-up plan planning. Part of it is my own preference. I normally DM, so I have to keep a tight lid on my metagame knowledge, so I try very hard for my characters to not act based on information I have that they don’t. Doing it by “accident” seems a little transparent to myself. Also, going off memory, her backstory involves being abandoned by her celestial father (I think the mother died in childbirth), and later talking to a demon about it and getting twisted around. Now, I don’t want to use the twisting part, but Gnomes are community creatures. My cleric has always had family nearby to guide him, to support him. If he knew that she had actually never had that, he would be able to sympathize more. Instead of looking at her and wondering why she is so angry and closed off, he’d have an understanding, and once he had that understanding, he’d be able to handle her actions differently on a mental level. Essentially, she would make more sense to him, which would help him deal with her.I don’t think there is currently any narrative hope of her respecting anyone. She’s got no qualms of catching us in the crossfire for fear effects or any number of things. She is completely closed off. Breaking that door is the first step. It literally took us months to get her to reveal she had angel wings underneath her massive cloak after all.  Aware of the Channel Divinity. One potential back-up plan is to cast bless on the vampire to help it succeed on the save (she has a DC 18 after all), but then leading to the release of a vampire into a populated city gets added to my character’s list of evil crimes that prove I’m secretly an evil character.  It is a bit strange for me too. What’s even weirder is that I’ve only known these guys since about… June? So we’ve barely played together for 4 months, but most of them have been playing together for longer than that, I was the new guy.</blockquote>
